Week 2 Term 2

It’s great to be back. Hopefully your child has arrived home either wearing or carrying their graduate printed sport shirt for 2019. They look good.

Now its time to get the nose back to the grindstone and pump out some quality learning, to help with this, please encourage your child to get amongst it and engage into their learning opportunities.

Homework - Remember we want to see people cracking a thousand points per week in Mathletics. We also encourage reading every night and students are responsible for completing their spelling each week.

A special shout out to all the mothers out there. Happy Mother’s Day!

  • If you attended this training in 2016, your certificate has now expired so you will need to attend the training again this year.  
  • As from 1 July 2019 South Australia’s new laws require people working or volunteering with children to have a valid working with children check (WWCC), replacing the current system where people can have either a national police check assessment or a DHS screening.   
    Our school is registered to initiate this check for our parent volunteers.  To apply you will need to provide your full name, date of birth and an email address to Jenny (authorised person) in the office.  
    There is no cost to apply as a volunteer in a school.
    If you have a current police clearance this will still be valid for a 3 year period, following this you will need to provide a WWCC check.
