Canteen open tomorrow

02 Jul 2020

Just a reminder to parents that the Canteen is still operating for lunch tomorrow as the sausage sizzle after Mass will be for recess only.

Head Lice

30 Jun 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians

Head Lice

There have been new cases of head lice reported. Please check your child/ren’s hair for any sign of nits or lice. A simple way to check is to put a generous amount of conditioner on damp hair and then comb through with a nit comb. The conditioner stuns the lice for about 20 minutes, which gives you time to detect any nits or lice in the hair.

This does not kill them.

This check should be carried out on a regular basis, it is quick, easy and effective.

If detected, you will need to treat the hair with a treatment available from either the chemist or Woolworths.

Regards,
Mrs Nicky Trinder
Principal

CANTEEN timetable from 15 June

14 Jun 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians,

After two weeks of fulltime canteen operations it is apparent that Monday and Tuesdays are not financially viable to have the canteen open for lunch orders. From 15 June the canteen will only be open for online orders on WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY and FRIDAY until the end of Term 2. You will be unable to place an order for Monday and Tuesday using the online system as it has been disabled. Hopefully we will be able to return to full operation in Term 3 including recess. Thank you for your understanding and support as we transition back to normal operations.

Regards,
Mrs Nicky Trinder
Principal

Students must sign in to the attendance book. Students must have a permission note signed by their parents indicating how they are getting home. (They can not catch lifts with other families unless there is parental permission). They will not be permitted to leave unless someone collects them or alternative arrangements are made.

Mrs Nicky Trinder
