Wet Weather - Raincoats
Now that we are experiencing this glorious rain more frequently, it is very important that each child has a waterproof raincoat in their bag.

This morning we had many of our students arrive at school quite damp, as they had walked down to school in the rain without a raincoat.

We ask parent assistance in NOT sending umbrellas to school, as these can be quite dangerous and do not want anyone poked in the face or eye with one.

ICAS Competitions
Each year we offer students from Year 2 - 6 the opportunity to sit the ICAS (International Competitions and Assessments for Schools) papers in English, Mathematics, Science and Digital Technologies (yrs 3-6). The papers are designed to recognise academic excellence. Students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.

Each competition is $15.95

If you are interested in your child taking part in one or more or the ICAS papers, you are able to book the Competitions straight online. 

Please go to: https://shop.unswglobal.com.au/pages/pps

Register using the school access code: LDZ416

You can then select the papers you would like your child to complete and pay for them online. All payments need to be made by 17th August. 

Toys at School
A reminder to  please not send toys to school with your child. These can cause squabbles between students and have the possibility of being broken, which causes great distress.

8am drop off
As we slowly return to our new ‘normal’, please remember that students must not be on the school grounds before 8am, as there is no supervision before this time and the playground is very empty and lonely.

We understand that this can cause problems for parents who need to begin work earlier than this time, but for the safety of everyone, please make sure they do not arrive before 8am.

If you require care for your child before 8am, please make contact with Little Green Frogs, who conduct Before School Care and then drop the students at school in time for the 8.30am bell.
