Term 1 Week 8 Student Services Update

Halfway through Term 1 for 2022!!!
What a great start to the year, all year levels seem to be settling in nicely and adapting well to the new structure within Student Services. Please encourage students to catch up with their relevant year PCSS or SSO with any issues.

As a reminder the Student Services team are as follows:

Attendance
Reminder of importance of being at school, even though concerns around Covid.

If unable to attend school for a period of time, you are able to access work through connect. Accessing work via connect will ensure that the student is not falling behind in subjects missed.

If your student is absent from school, the preferable method of informing the school is through compass, alternatively, please SMS, ring or send in a note as soon as possible. Many parents find the SMS system the easiest as it is portable and can be done on the day the student is sick.

SMS 0400 204 440

Phone 6821 1708


Uniform
Students are reminded that they are to be in school uniform every day, with loan items being available in student services. Hoodies and jumpers of various colours are not part of the uniform and students will be asked to remove these. With the cooler weather, students can wear a plain black undershirt or jumper under their school shirt.

If students have a good reason to be out of uniform, they can come to Student Services before school for a uniform pass. Uniform infringements will be recorded and could impact on good standing.

We are always looking for uniform to maintain our stock for loans and to assist needy families. If you have second hand items that your child no longer needs, please consider donating the items to the school.
