Welcome Back to Term 2

It is always great to start a new term fresh after the holidays. I hope that everyone has had a safe holiday and ready to get into some interesting and exciting learning for this term.

Term 2 sees the start of some cooler weather, which means digging out the winter uniforms!  A uniform for school, indeed for any organisation, shows where we belong. It actually helps define the identity of who we are as a school community. Taking care of the way of our appearance shows that we respect who we are and that we care about a place, in which we belong. Please refer to the following poster about the uniform. These a reminders only but will be reinforced through the term. It is appreciated that when there is an issue with a uniform that a note in your diary from parents about it.

There is also a copy of the School Uniform Policy below, which gives greater detail about uniforms. If there any more inquiries about uniforms, please come and chat to myself or Mr Sales about it. We will  endeavour to answer them or find out!

It is a busy start to the term and already things are scheduled for this week. We have our Assembly Item on Tuesday. Parents are invited to come and watch to see what has been happening. We also have ANZAC Day approaching. There will be information about our school ANZAC day throughout the week.

WELCOME BACK!

Mobile Phone Use

Digital devices, such as mobile phones, iPads and iPhones, are a normal part of everyday life. In stage 3, recognising that these devices are needed as part of getting home or making contact with parents. Learning how to use them appropriately for school, however is also part of the responsibility.

What is the acceptable use of these devices when at school?

• Mobile Phones must be out of sight and switched off during lesson time.
• Digital devices can be used in the playground to listen to music or play games.
• Be careful about giving phone numbers out. 
• Digital devices may be used in class, when teachers have given permission and are part of the learning program.

What is the unacceptable use of these devices?

• Students may not make calls, text anyone or take photos without permission at all during school hours
