A special welcome to all our new families, it is wonderful to have you join us. The following communication is aimed at assisting Primary parents with the commencement of schooling on 28 January. 

Following the departure of Mr Vant, Mr Paul Anderson will be the Acting Head of Primary 3-6 for Semester One. Mr Anderson will work closely with students, teachers and parents in Years 3-6 to support students wellbeing and operations in the Primary School. Mr Paul Somerville will be replacing Mr Anderson in 5PA.

Arrival Times Week One

The beginning of the school year is traditionally a very busy time when students return to school and with the current building works your assistance is required to assist in making our morning and afternoons as efficient as possible by following the directions of our Ground Staff.

To allow for late arrivals in this first week, Primary student attendance rolls will not be finalised until 9:00 am.

From Week 2, we will return to regular roll marking processes. 

Pick Up Times

This year, all students in Years 1 to 6 will leave the classroom at 3:05 pm. Students will be walked down to the Kiss and Go and bus areas unless they are met at the classrooms by their parents. Please consider which point of entry into the school you need to utilise when picking up students. Please ensure your child knows the location that you intend to collect them from; this will ensure that they are waiting at the correct area. The Kiss and Go area will continue to operate, as will the drop-off and pick-up option at the front of the Chapel. The Tear Drop traffic zone is only available for Prep pick-up and drop-off. Please see the traffic map above for more details on which entrance you need to enter for the different drop-off and pick-up areas.

Book Pack Drop Off

Families are invited to bring their student/s book packs to school before the first day to avoid doing so on busy school mornings. Book packs can be placed on the bag racks or lockers outside your child’s classroom.  They should be sealed and labelled.

I look forward to seeing new and returning families at the School Orientation and Information Session on Thursday at 8:45 am.

Craig Angel
Head of Primary School
