Expectation of the Week
From the Office
Students arriving early: We have seen an increase in the number of students on school grounds, before supervision starts at 8.40am. Students should not be at school prior to 8.40am unless they are participating in a before school activity (including breakfast club), attending OSHC, or are supervised by a parent/responsible adult.
Absences: if your student is going to be absent from school could you please notify the office, as well as the classroom teacher, thank you.
Conjunctivitis: As a courtesy, we would like to advise that we have had a number of reported cases of conjunctivitis within our school community. We kindly ask that you monitor your child/ren for itchy, watery and/or sore weepy eyes, fo you have any concerns please contact your local GP as soon as possible. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious and if diagnosed chiledren will need to stay at home until medically cleared to return to school. Children infected with conjunctivitis are to be excluded until discharge from eyes has ceased unless a doctor has diagnosed non-infectious conjunctivitis.
