UPCOMING EVENTS

Please note that all Upcoming Events for Prep are now on their own Note Day article/page. 

This Head of Preparatory School page will consist of general information from the Head of Preparatory School. 

Cashless Canteen

As previously communicated last term, the overarching goal for the Junior Campus Canteen is for it to run completely cashless in order to improve efficiencies and allow for better planning of requirements by having all menu items on the Flexischools platform. Beginning at the start of Term 4, all students who would like to purchase a snack or a Recess and Lunch order will be required to order this on Flexischools. Please note, there will be no orders taken by the Canteen before school. If your child has forgotten their lunch and you are unable to bring it in through the day, a sandwich and a piece of fruit will be provided by the School.

Yr 2 Camp

A group of very excited Yr 2 students left for their first school camp this morning. Please find details below for collection of students on Friday afternoon.

  • To comply with safety regulations, could parents please wait in the Piazza at the designated Meeting Trees:
    • 2E at the Meeting Tree
    • 2P at the Meeting Tree
    • 2A at the 1 Onyx Meeting Tree
    • 2C at the 1 White Meeting Tree
  • Children will exit the bus and be escorted into the Piazza with their class teacher.
  • The luggage will be unloaded from the bus and lined up along Allister Street.
  • Parents are asked to mark their child’s name off the roll with their class teacher before leaving the school grounds.  
  • Parents and children can then walk to Allister Street to collect their luggage before leaving school.
Clubs

Clubs have now finished for Term 3 and all families should have received a letter with the Trybooking link to register your child/ren for Term 4 Clubs.

Principal for the Day

Thank you to Emily Heller who managed the Prep School as Principal for the Day on Monday and Wednesday morning this week. Emily enjoyed visiting the classrooms and the Senior Campus, reading a story to Transition Gold and speaking at Assembly. Yesterday’s Mufti Day which raised $476.85 for the Marine Life Conservation, was Emily’s initiative and I thank her for motivating the students for such a worthy cause.
