Dear Parents,

A reminder to all that our school start time is 8:55am, this is when students line up for morning announcements. By 9:00am students are heading into their classrooms and teachers are mandated to complete the roll at this time. 

Children arriving after 9:00am, are to be brought to the office to be signed in by a parent/guardian and will be marked as late arrival on the roll. Students will then be escorted to their classroom by a support staff member.

For the safety of children, it a parent’s responsibility to ensure you sign your child in and walk them to the office, students should not be doing this unaccompanied. 

School Assemblies

As previously advised there will be no Virtual Assembly next Thursday (9th November). Instead we will provide a list of reminders about upcoming school events via our SZAPP Platform.

Beginning Monday 20th November, 2:30pm, each fortnight assemblies will go back to being face to face. These school assemblies will be held in the open area of our new classrooms and parents are welcome to attend.

Staffing Announcements 

We are still currently in the process of finalising our staffing requirements for the 2024 school year. I would like to advise you of the following appointment;
