PRINCIPAL MATTERS
BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL SURVEY Does your child need before and after school care? We want to hear from you – please complete a short
survey to help us understand your family’s needs for care out of school hours. Your responses will shape
what we do to expand and deliver Before and After School Care services in your community and across
NSW
Please complete the survey via the following website link:
https://surveys.education.nsw.gov.au/s3/OSHCParentsSurvey.
The survey will be open until 24 May 2021.
The survey has been designed to be easy to use and should take no more than two minutes to complete,
with a few extra minutes for those who would like to supply additional information.
If you need a paper or over-the-phone version of the survey, or require a survey translation, please contact
the Department of Education Before and After School Care Program team by phone on 1300 244 145 or
email at: [email protected].
CYBER SAFETY A note will go home early next week inviting parents to a cyber-safety presentation our school is arranging
with the kind support of our P&C. I commend this talk and invite you to come along if you can. Kirra
Prendergast is an engaging speaker with very relevant and important information to share on the evening
of 15th June at 6pm in our school hall.

most excitingly, a short bus trip around the school zone. For some of the children, it was the first time on a bus! Bus safety is an essential part of Road Safety and discussing with the student’s safe ways of travelling to and from school.

Shoe Lacing Lessons
Ascent Footwear, in partnership with The Athlete's Foot, visited us on Wednesday, 19th May, to educate the students
from Years 1 & 2. This fun, interactive workshop was used to help teach the students the important life skill of how
to tie their shoelaces correctly!
SCHOOL UNIFORM
Uniform Shop Open ...
Jumpers ... With the sudden cooler mornings, we have noticed several students arriving at school in non-
uniform jumpers. Please note only school jumpers & jackets are to be worn at school. PSSA jumpers are
not school uniform.
New uniform items can be purchased through the Flexischools app. Once you have completed your online
order, your order will be processed the next time the shop is open. The orders are brought to the office and
we will deliver those uniform purchases to your child. Unfortunately, only new stock is available through
flexischools. If you wish to purchase preloved, please visit the uniform shop. Our uniform shop often has
good quality second-hand uniforms available. Eftpos
facilities are also available
Girl’s Socks … At Wednesday night’s P&C meeting it
was agreed to add grey socks as an option to the
girl’s uniform. These are already in stock and
available for purchase at the uniform shop.
Dress Code … The policy was formulated by the
parent body. Sleeper earrings, (stud-gun) studs, a
watch and/or a plain signet ring are the only
jewellery that should be worn.
Students will be asked to remove jewellery (that
does not fall within policy guidelines), make-up
and/or nail polish.
THANK YOU A very big thank-you to our P&C Association who recently
purchased two Fountas Pinnell Benchmark Assessment Kits
for Stage 3 (Year 5 & Year 6). These kits, valued at over $500
each, are an essential resource for assessing reading and
comprehension levels.
Pictured are Mrs Leonie Mann, P&C Secretary, handing over
the kits to Stage 3 students, Tyler Lewis & Sarah Morton.
