PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
This week we welcomed our 2020 Kindergarten students into our school. We had 126 smiling faces arrive
on Monday and they have settled quickly into class.
Thank you to everyone in our school community for your willingness to work with us during these first few
days of the new year and our new building. Thank you for your patience as we discover the best ways to
work in our new space.
External Validation
Each year our school undertakes a self-evaluation to help inform our directions and decisions for the following
year.
Every four years an external team visits our school to look at our self-evaluation and determine if they agree
with our own assessment of our work.
This external validation team will visit our school towards the end of March. Our staff are working hard to
prepare the information and evidence needed for the external team to do their work.

Parents and Citizens Association (P & C) Meeting
Our P & C will hold their first meeting of 2020 this Monday at 7pm in the school staffroom (in the old
administration building).
Our P & C is a great team of parents working hard to keep our school, the school of excellence and learning.
Apart from fundraising for important equipment and improvements the P & C have input into key school policy
and directions. They are currently looking at plans to improve the playground once the demountables are
removed.
All parents are welcome to attend. Kindergarten parents and carers are particularly encouraged to join the
P & C.
The AGM of the P & C will be held on Monday 16th March. To vote at the AGM you need to be a member of
the P & C at the previous meeting. So the meeting on Monday is your chance to become a voting member.
If you can’t attend on Monday you can still join by contacting the P & C via the school office.
Parent & Carers Information Evenings
To assist in keeping clear communication with parents and carers we will be holding information
afternoons/evenings on the days and times below.
At these meetings staff will deliver key information about organisation, routines and learning plans for 2020.
There will also be an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher.
All meetings will start in the school hall and then move to your child’s classroom. Meetings will be one hour
in duration.
Kindergarten – Tuesday 11th February at 6pm in the school hall
Years 1 & 2 - Wednesday 19th February at 4pm in the school hall
Years 3 & 4 - Wednesday 19th February at 5pm in the school hall
Years 5 & 6 - Wednesday 19th February at 6pm in the school hall
Please note that these meetings are for general information. If you would like specific information about your
child please contact your child’s teacher to arrange a convenient time to meet.
New Building Tours We will hold tours of the new building at 5pm (for Year 1 and 2 parents) and 6pm (for Year 3 and 4 parents) on Wednesday 19th February. Year 5 and 6 parents will see the new building during their parent meetings, which will conclude in the new classrooms. Please note that all parents are welcome to join the 5pm and 6pm tours. Arrival at School – Not Before 8.30am School commences at 8.55am. To assist parents and reduce traffic congestion we provide supervision from 8.30am. Students must not be at school before 8.30am. If a student happens to arrive at school before 8.30am they will not be supervised. If students arrive before they should do, they are to sit on the seats outside the school office and wait until the teacher is on duty. Special Religious Education Special Religious Education (SRE) (sometimes called scripture) is offered at our school. We have two providers of SRE – the local Catholic Diocese and Terrigal Uniting Church (who provide a combined local protestant service). SRE is taught by volunteers from these organisations. They follow a set program approved by their organisation. Teachers remain in the room to assist in supervision. SRE is held on Tuesdays between recess and lunch. We have two 30 min sessions. 11.30 – 12.00 for K-2 students and 12.00 – 12.30 for 3-6 students. Students, whose parents have indicated will not attend SRE, will be supervised in a non-scripture room. They will undertake private study or quiet reading as per Department of Education policy. Parking Around our School These signs mean: • You can stop and drop your child off or pick them up; • You can stop for no longer than 2 minutes; • You may get out of the car to assist your child but you must remain near your car; Please note that Police and Council Rangers regularly patrol our school zone. Fines start at $191 and 2 demerit points. Other offences can be as high as $500+ and 4 demerit points. Thanks to Our School Uniform Team Our School Uniform Team opened the uniform shop on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings last week and did a roaring trade. Thanks to our volunteers for their work. The uniform shop is open each Wednesday morning from 8.30am to 9.15am. Alternatively, you can order online through Flexischools and uniforms will be delivered to your child on Wednesday. Unfortunately, we ran short of school shirts in particular sizes. We are hoping these will arrive shortly. Thank you to all families for their efforts to ensure that their child is in correct uniform. Families are reminded that students need to wear white or grey socks and school hats. Please label your child’s clothing. Michael Burgess Principal
