General InformationAssemblies: Parents are invited to attend our Formal Assemblies. These are held fortnightly. Our assemblies recognise achievement, promote our values and allow children to perform.
Homework: Regular homework is set on the following basis. Juniors (Years 1 and 2) up to 20 minutes a night, Middle School (Years 3 and 4) and Senior School (Years 5 and 6) up to 40 minutes. It is important that reading, basic fact and spelling activities are non-stressful. Library/Computer Suite: All classes have timetabled sessions for the Library and Computer Suite. The Library is open during lunchtimes. All library books need to travel to and from school in a library bag. These are available from the school office. Lunches: Children should bring morning tea and lunch to school every day. Sushi can be ordered on Tuesday morning to be delivered on Wednesday and Wednesday morning to be delivered on Thursday. We order from Ezlunch on Fridays only. See info below. School Hours: We encourage children not to come to school before 8.30 unless they have a practice or commitment. Children need to prepare for their school day and we suggest they be here by 8.45.This enables children to use the Road Patrols at the Lake Road traffic lights. The children will be dismissed at 3.00 p.m. regardless of weather conditions. Absences: If your child is going to be absent please contact the school office before 9.00. This is an important safety check. School Newsletter: This important link between home and school is posted on our website fortnightly (even-numbered weeks of each term) on Thursdays.
