The following tip is in light of a Nation – Wide issue and an issue, which is
having a negative impact on our children’s schooling. We know Winter is here,
and the mornings are cold and dark. But we really need all children at school on
time, before 8.45 am, so they can get organised and be ready for tuition at 8.55
am. Late children disrupt the class so much as they need to be instructed on
what is happening, they need to unpack, which all takes away teaching time
and learning involvement from them and the other children. We encourage you
to be ready and have your children prepared to leave home at 8.20-8.30 am so
they will be here on time. As a partnership between home and school, to give
your child the best education, please have your children at school in the gate
before 8.45 am. Thanking you.
Pedestrian Crossings and Crossing the Road
I am pleased to be able to say most
children are walking sensibly from the school gate to the pedestrian crossing
and across the pedestrian crossing.
Remember we enforce a no ride zone from the pedestrian crossing to the
school gate from 3pm to prevent accidents and injury. A no ride zone means children are expected
for the purposes of respect and safety to push their bikes or scooters from the
school gate to the zebra crossing.
Recently a few children ran out in
front of a car and were nearly bowled. It
is for this reason I ask please ensure your children know how to cross a road
safely, or better still cross them yourself, or cross them at a pedestrian
crossing. We do our part here through
teaching road safety, but need the safe practice reiterated at home. If your child needs to cross the road away
from a pedestrian choose a place with good visibility first, look right, look
left, look right and if there is no traffic cross by walking promptly across
the road.
