Assistant Principal News…
Dear Parents and Families,
Athletics Carnival
It was a beautiful day yesterday out at Xavier Catholic College for our annual Athletics Carnival. After last
year it was so good to see all of our students out competing in events again. We have many fine young athletes
at our school across the grades and I have no doubt we will see a large number of these students representing
our school at the next level. A massive thank you to Mr Wilde for his organisation of the day plus an equal
thank you to all the staff who made the day such a success.
Parent Forum
The final Parent Forum meeting for Term 2 was held on Tuesday night and we had another great turnout from
our school community.
Mrs Hallie Watt obtained an art funding grant for the school involving artist Amelia Kalifa. Amelia presented
at the meeting on her work as a community artist as well as sharing our students’ amazing creations with the
group. Amelia’s art can be viewed via her website below. http://www.ameliakalifa.com/
The main topic of discussion at the meeting was around the new school playground. The forum reviewed
several concepts from different manufacturers and we are now ready to move to the final stage of the
purchasing process.
New soccer goals and netball nets were also discussed and larger safe goals plus new netball nets for the
students are to be ordered for Term 3.
If you cannot make it to the first Parent Forum meeting next term on Tuesday, 27th of July, yet have a topic
that you would like to address, please let our Chairperson Amy Campbell or our Forum Secretary Sean Davy
know prior to the meeting and they will add it to the agenda for you.

Green Zones
Those of you who have been on site this term will be well aware of the Green Zones at all entry points to the
school. As previously mentioned, the Green Zone has been initiated by the Catholic Schools Office as part
of the updated guidelines for parents and visitors
presenting on site at schools under Child Protection
procedures. We initially partitioned off areas
around school entrances to provide a clear visual of
each of the Green Zones. This visual did not form
any physical barrier, but simply served to make
parents aware of the need to register their presence
via the QR Code or iPad. Parents presenting on site
for the purpose of dropping children off or picking
them up are not required to sign in if they do not
venture beyond the Green Zone. If you are
attending to business beyond the Green Zone,
however, you are required to sign in and identify your reason / the person you are visiting. We will no longer
have taped off sections, but still require parents to respect our Green Zones and associated sign-in protocols.

Growth Through Love & Loyalty
Our school will be transferring over to The Compass platform at the beginning of Term 3. The app and
computer parent portal will be our school and classroom communication to you. The Compass app will
allow you to:
● Monitor your child’s attendance, and enter in explanations for absences.
● Update family contact details
● View student reports.
● View newsfeed of school announcements, updates or events.
● Provide consent for events and pay for excursions and school fees.
Please note that there are many features of The Compass app available to parents. Please keep an eye out in
our newsletter more information regarding these features in the coming weeks.

Office Hours
A reminder for parents that our school office hours are
8:30am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Late Arrivals
If your child arrives after the school bell in the morning, you MUST bring
your child to the front office to be signed in. Your child will then get a late
slip to hand to their class teacher. If you choose to walk your child to their
classroom you MUST sign in to the school in accordance with our Child
Protection Policy.

Student Pick up Arrangements
We recognise that students’ pick up arrangements can change throughout the day and this then needs to be
communicated to students prior to the end of the day. A reminder that if your child’s pick up arrangement
does change during the course of the day, please phone (no emails) the school office prior to 2pm – please
note that office staff are not allowed to advise students that they will be collected outside of school grounds.
It is extremely important that, where possible, your child is very clear about their daily pick up arrangement.
Reminder
Students are supervised at school from 8:30am. When students
arrive at school they are to sit in the Shelter Shed until instructed by
the teacher on duty.
The School Bell for the end of day goes at 3.15pm - When leaving
school, students depart in one of four ways:
Bus - Children are to sit in bus lines and wait for teachers’ instructions to board their bus. Bus pass
forms are available on-line.
Bike - Students are to move quickly to their bikes or scooters and walk these to the gate at the front
of the school. They must not ride these on school premises and they should take the shortest
and safest route home.
Walking - These children should leave through the front school gate without delay. Any child needing to
cross Swift Street should wait at the crossing and be directed by the Crossing Supervisor.
Pick up - Children being picked up should wait in the School Hall until collected and then leave with
their parent or guardian.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Change of Details
It is extremely important that you notify the school of any change of
address, telephone contact numbers, email addresses, family status and/or
residential arrangements.
Please email these changes to
