SUNSMART HAT POLICY
As a Sunsmart School all students are to be wearing their school broad brimmed hats at recess and lunch. If children don't have their hat they need to stay and play in the 2 zones designated shelter spaces. Juniors the shelter shed at car line and Seniors outside the shelter next to Mr Ireland's room
CARLINE PICK UP AND DROP OFF EXPECTATIONS
Can I please remind all parents thet the speed limit at drop off and pick up is 10 kph. In the interest of child safety could I ask all parents to observe this safe speed when dropping and picking students up at Admin carline and Drouin Rec Reserve car line.
Also a reminder to parents that there is no right hand turn cutting in front of cars making a left hand turn into school admin drop off and pick up. The expectation id that parents drive down to the roundabout and come back up the hill to join the queue making a left hand turn into school. This eliminates traffic issues and keeps everyone safe.
DROPPING STUDENTS AT SCHOOL BEFORE 8.30AM
A reminder to all parents that the school drop off time and gate opening is at 8.30am. We have been getting a growing number of students dropped off at school between 8.00 and 8.30 am and children are unsupervised. It can also be extremely cold and wet with minimal shelter. If you need to drop your children off prior to 8.30am we recommend that you contact Camp Australia and access before school care

PARENT INFORMATION PRESENTATIONS
Our teaching staff have put together information slides for each grade level to help provide families with important information about our school.
