As we come to the end of the year, there are some activities that occur ‘behind the scenes’. One of these tasks is the writing of Semester Reports. As you know, we have had an unprecedented year in terms of learning and we have been given the allowance to move away from the A - E reporting structure and report on what work was observed during the remote learning period and upon the students return to school. Your child’s Semester 2 report will look different from Semester 1 and will have an overall statement about the learning that was covered during the Semester and dot point observations of what work your child has completed. Formal assessments were extremely difficult to administer during remote learning due to the variance in help provided by parents at home. This report will provide a snapshot of what your child has achieved this Semester and we will provide a more ‘traditional’, A - E report on your child’s learning in Semester 1, 2022. If you have any questions about the Semester 2 reporting process, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or myself.
MORNING DROP OFF REMINDERS:
All students must be dropped off on the School side of Cox Crescent. We have observed cars stopping, blocking driveways and then running their child across the road to school. This is very unsafe for the child but also for drivers who use the Drop Off area correctly.
If your child is Late (after 8.55) a parent must walk into school and record their reason for the lateness. If your child is dropped off late, they will need to wait at the gate until their parent arrives If no parent is present, a phone call will be made with a request to return to the school to speak with the office in person. This procedure is part of our Attendance Policy and must be adhered to each day.
END OF DAY REMINDERS:
We understand changes to after school pick up can occur. Please advise the school office of changes before 2:30pm so that we can let children know where their dismissal area will be for that day.
Drive Through
Please remember to follow all road rules and be courteous when using Drive Through. Due to continued breaches of road rules, Council Rangers have been notified and will begin patrolling the area. reminders:
Do not queue across the Pedestrian crossing. This is illegal and extremely unsafe to students and parents who use the crossing.
Please use a ‘zipper’ way of entering the Drive Through queue. That is, one car enters Cox Crescent from the South, then one from the North. This is common courtesy and demonstrates kindness and respect for others.
Do not overtake cars in front of you in the Drive Through line. You must wait until the car in front moves off.
Parent pick Up
Earlier this week, we sent out updates guidelines for parent Pick up and we appreciate those parents who have followed the guidelines and have waited outside the gate and moved off the school site promptly. Some parents and students who are walking appear to be using the actual driveway to exit the car park. Please use the footpath provided at the side of the car park.
