2024 Newsletter #10


Dear Silverton families,

Welcome back to Term Four, I hope everyone had lovely school holidays.

 

A big thank you to Mrs Kittle for her organisation of Footy Day on the last day of Term Three. It was a great way to finish the Term!

 

Please remember that now we are in Term Four, all students must have a school hat on whenever they are outside. Please ensure your child(ren) have a school hat. School hats can be purchased at the school office.

 

A message to all parents of 2025 Year Six students, can you please put in your orders for Year Six uniform asap.  Orders are directly through FCW.
Click here to place your Grade 6 2025 uniform.  Please contact admin if you require any assistance with this.

 

Next week our Year Four students are off to camp. Wishing all staff and students going to camp all the best!

 

The building project is progressing well, and we expect to have our Year 3/4 students back in LC3 by mid-November. The next LC to be worked on will be LC2. We will update everyone with our plans regarding LC2 staff and students as we get closer to this date.

 

You may have noticed our school value mascot paintings outside LC1. A big thank you to Miss D for doing these!

 

 

A reminder that we are still taking enrolments for 2025 Foundations. If you know someone who will be starting school in 2025, please encourage them to contact the school for a tour.

 

So far in 2024 our Parents Association have raised $9336.90.

Amazing! Thank you so much to all who have helped us so far this year!

 

Once again, thank you to all members of our community for your ongoing support.

 

Thank you,

Mark Pollard – Principal

 

A few Reminders

 

  • Please ensure that your child(ren) are in full school uniform. If you have any questions about uniform or require any assistance, please contact the office.

  • Arrival time: For safety reasons, students should not arrive at school before 8:45am. This is when staff begin before school yard duty. If you need your child to be supervised earlier than 8:45am, we have a before and after school service - TeamKids, which runs everyday from 7:00am – 8:45am. Please enquire if you require this service.

  • Pick up time: School finishes at 3:15pm every day. If you require your child to be supervised later than that, please also enquire with our Oschare program.

  • Please DO NOT park in the disabled carpark unless you are permitted to do so or on the grass in the staff carpark.

  • Please obey all street parking signs in neighboring streets to avoid being fined and do not perform UTurns outside the school gates.

  • Please ensure that everyone crosses the roads at the designated school crossings.

LC2 News

The Foundations have been enjoying exploring our new dramatic play areas set up for term 3. They have been learning more about the role of a doctor, pharmacist and police officer and have been role playing different stories in these areas with both their peers and educators. Many of our students have been exploring their creativity skills and teamwork skills through choosing projects related to sport and crafting in Octopus Oasis.

 


 

 

 

Absences

Please make sure you let us know via Compass if your child is going to be absent from school. We send out a notification at 10am each day if your child has an unexplained absence. Twice each term we will send a letter asking you to please explain all unexplained absences. It is very important that you please give us a reason for your child's absences as we are required to report this information to the Department of Education. 

If you are having trouble with Compass, please contact the office.
