Welcome Back​

Welcome back to a very chilly Term 3! I hope you and the family had some down time in the holidays ready for a busy term.

​

We have welcomed a couple of new (one returning) students this term and it is timely to remind parents that we are an Allergy Aware School. This means that we ask that you are very mindful about the food you send to school and avoid sending foods containing high allergen foods, such as nuts. The school is prepared for a severe allergic reaction should it happen, with Epipens on hand and all staff trained but it's not knowledge we want to have to apply!

​

Kindy Readiness has commenced this term, with 8 eager students heading to school for 2 hours each Tuesday. We are very lucky that Mrs Linda Quartermaine is available to take the sessions and after only 2 sessions, students are eager to come return next week.

​

Staff are spending time this term learning about the new student data base, Compass. We go 'live' in about 4 weeks and hope the new system will improve our current process for recording student absences, wellbeing and behaviour. Parents will (eventually) have access to this platform too and hopefully make your communication with the school even easier.
