After School
Unless you have signed yourself in at the office (and are wearing a volunteer tag), please remain in the 'Parents Area' until 2:55pm, when the bell rings. If you see other parents entering the school grounds without a volunteer tag, please redirect them to the office.
Students are dismissed from the classroom at 2:55pm. Please make sure you have discussed with your child where and who will be picking them up (it may be the undercover area, the pick up zone 'white post' or after school care).
Birthdays
Birthdays are a special time of the year for each child! If your child would like to share a small birthday treat with the class, please let me know. Please make sure you send individual sized items. Ice blocks are always a fantastic idea. We do not keep knives in our classroom, so we are unable to cut large cakes. We have 28 students in the class.
Homework
Homework will be issued each Monday and is due Friday of the same week. Throughout the year, homework is used to reinforce literacy and numeracy skills learned at school. It is expected that each child completes their homework each week. Homework will commence in Week 3. Please do not be afraid to help your child with homework – it is an excellent role-modelling opportunity! If you have any questions about the homework, please email me.
Late Arrival
If your child arrives after 8:40am, please do not drop them off in the drop-off area. Students arriving after 8:40am should be signed in at the office using their student bag tags. Please do not bring them directly to the classroom as our attendance rolls are marked electronically. Your child's identification tag should remain on their school bag. If your child has a new bag, please transfer their tag over. If your child has lost their bag tag, please contact the office.
It is also a legal requirement that any parent or helper must sign in at the office if they are on the school grounds between 8:40am and 2:55pm each day. This is to ensure that requirements relating to both fire safety and student safety are met.
Munch and Crunch
Each day we will be having 'Munch and Crunch'. I ask that you send your child's fruit or vegetable in a clearly labelled, separate container, zip lock bag or paper bag (if you can't write on the fruit. e.g. apple). Munch and Crunch gives the students an opportunity to put some nutrition into their bodies and increase their energy to learn at optimum levels. It should be small enough to eat in 5 minutes.
Some examples of foods to bring include: fresh fruit such as apples; mandarins; cut up oranges; seasonal fruit (stone fruit in the summer months); cut up watermelon; bananas; pears; cut up kiwi fruit; grapes; cherry tomatoes – the list is endless. Vegetables such as carrot and celery sticks; snow peas; cooked pumpkin and sweet potato squares; fresh broccoli florets are just some possibilities.
We ask that students not bring any packaged or processed food as we are promoting healthy, natural foods.
Specialist Lessons
Italian will commence in Week 1. All other specialist lessons will commence in Week 2.
P.E. - Tuesday (Sports Uniform)
LOTE (Italian) - Wednesday

Tuckshop
Our school tuckshop is open every day. You can choose between ordering your child's lunch/afternoon tea online (before 8:30am) through the QKR app or through the old 'brown paper bag' system with cash. I highly encourage you to use the online system. If you ever forget to send your child with lunch you can order an emergency lunch through the app before 11:30am.
Please carefully consider the food that you order for your child from the school tuckshop as we aim to educate the children to make healthy choices in their lives.
