  • School Uniforms

 As the weather turns cooler it’s time to drag out school jumpers.  As a uniform school, jumpers are part of our winter uniform and are now available on School Locker.  These will be delivered to your child’s class. Alternative jumpers may be worn whilst waiting on delivery.

 

  • Report Cards

 Due to the unusual circumstances surrounding term 2, our semester one reports will be postponed until week 3 or term 3. This will give our students the extra time needed to settle back into school and show evidence of their learning.

 

  • Heal Street Pick up Zone Trial

 With social distancing for adults in place we are aware that more parents may be using our drop off and pick up zones.

Our drop off zone, in Heal Street, works really well in the morning and up until now we have operated a pick up zone in the afternoon, in Hawthorne Street.  As a trial, we will begin to use Heal Street as an additional pick up zone, from Monday the 25 of May. 

The procedures for using this zone will be:

 

  • From 2.30 p.m., Heal Street will become a Loading Zone
  • At 3pm, students utilising the Heal Street Pick up zone, should assemble on the benches outside C block. This is adjacent to the gate closest to James Street.
  • Students will be supervised inside the school grounds and will only be allowed to move onto Heal Street when their car is outside the gate.
  • The gate nearest Jabiru, on Heal Street, will be for pedestrian use only.
  • Parents should inform their student which pick up zone they will be using.
  • Any student not collected by 3.20 p.m. will be taken to the school office.

 

We appreciate your support in following these procedures that will ensure the flow of traffic and the safety of students.
