Supervision Requirements for Primary Students Outside of School Hours

Dear Parents, we want to remind you about supervision requirements for Primary students on campus outside of school hours, as we’ve noticed students remaining on-site, particularly in the late afternoon, without adult supervision. For students needing to stay later to wait for a sibling involved in after-school co-curricular activities, we kindly request that they go to OSHC (Out of School Hours Care) for supervision. This helps ensure that all students are in a safe, supervised environment while they wait. Please note the College’s supervision times: General school hours supervision is provided from 8:15 am to 3:20 pm. OSHC is available from 7:00 am to 8:30 am and from 3:10 pm to 6:30 pm. If Primary students are found unsupervised on campus outside of these hours, staff will escort them to the College office if it’s open, or to OSHC if not. Should a student remain uncollected by 3:20 pm and we are unable to reach you, office staff will accompany your child to OSHC, and the applicable fees will apply. We understand that unforeseen delays can sometimes happen, and you may occasionally be running late for pickup. If this is the case, please contact the College office to let us know. We will ensure your child is supervised until 3:30 pm, after which they will be taken to OSHC. You may collect them from there when you arrive. Please note that OSHC fees will apply after 3:20 pm. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all our students safe and supervised.

Resources for Science

For Science this term, Year 2 are using forces to design and build an arcade game. As the students need to build their games from recycled materials, we were hoping that families would be able to provide items such as plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, paper towel rolls and other similar items. Students will start building in Weeks 5 and 6. It would be great to limit donations to one bag per student.

Living Library Thank You

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for attending the Year Two History Presentation. It was a pleasure to share our students' learning journey with you, and we’ve been thrilled to see how they thrived throughout this project. If you haven’t had the chance yet, we encourage you to visit the site your child researched to learn even more about it.

Glow Costumes

For their performance at Glow in Week 9, students are asked to wear a shirt in Christmas colors, red or green, with denim bottoms. As they will be dancing, please ensure clothing allows for comfortable movement. Shoes should be secure and not slip off while dancing. Christmas-themed hair accessories that can be securely fastened are also welcome!

Students are currently completing a rainforest project along with their regular English, reading and Mathletics home learning. Please remind students that they are more than welcome to ask teachers questions or seek their support throughout the week if they are unsure of any aspect.
