School Guidelines Updates

In light of our full day Professional Development on Friendly Schools on Friday 31^st May, we are currently revising and updating our Behavior Management Guidelines and our whole school Health document to reflect some of the Friendly Schools strategies. 

Last day of school term

The last day of the school term is Friday 5^th July. We will then return to school on Monday 22^nd July.

School Photos

School photos are complete. It usually takes a few weeks for Kapture to process and return the photos. I expect they will arrive at the school early next term.

Canteen

Our campus canteen manager Carolyn will be taking long service leave from Monday 24^th June until Tuesday 6^th August. The canteen will remain open on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays during these dates, however will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Ongoing Parking issues

Over the past week we have met with members from both the City of Joondalup and the Department of Education to discuss solutions to the parking congestion around the school  in mornings and afternoons. A number of options were discussed, and many ideas were not possible because of road rules, and the verge space required. Ideas that have been accepted for further possible planning include;

• Extension of the current car parking bays at Windemere Oval
• An additional 2 ACROD bays in the staff car park
• 90 degree parking along Jolstra Ave – outside E Block
• Redesigning the current E Block staff carpark to allow for more staff bays (this will alleviate street parking)
• Researching the possibility of angled parking on Blue Mountain Drive and at Jolstra Ave (near basketball court)

We will continue to keep you updated with developments as they become available.

Flus and Colds Season

From time to time children do get sick. It is sometimes unavoidable. When your child is sick please base your decision on keeping your child at home with the health of other students and staff in mind. It is best to avoid spreading germs and bugs at school and allowing your child to rest and recuperate before sending them back to school.

The school is targeting students who have an attendance rate below 85% and students arriving late to school (late is arriving after 8.50am). If your child arrives late 5 or more times in a term, you will receive a letter. The doors are open from 8.35am so that your child can get organised for the day.
