Uniform Transition:
These next two weeks will be a period of uniform transition from winter to summer uniform. This means that students are able to wear either the summer options (white socks with dress) or shorts still with navy socks or stay with the winter options.
After the holiday break, all students should return in the full summer uniform.
A reminder that all students in Yrs 1-6 are expected to wear the formal, broad-brimmed hat on the days they wear the formal uniform. The sports hat should only be worn with the sports uniform or on an occasional basis, for instance, if the formal one is accidentally left at home.
Last day of Term:
Friday 17th September is the last day of Term 3. Term 4 will resume on Tuesday 5th October as Monday is a Public Holiday.
Caring for Surface Go Devices:
We have noticed an increase in damage to devices this term and would appreciate your help. Can you please discuss with your children the importance of caring for their devices, both at home and school. We also want our children to develop an awareness of the environmental issues that electronic waste cause and how important their role is in keeping our planet safe.
Here are some tips and tricks that may be helpful.
- Always transport your laptop securely and treat your schoolbag with great care
- Don’t eat or drink while using your device
- Keep all keys attached to the keyboard
- Carefully touch the keys to type, no need to be rough with the keyboard
- Leave your laptop in a safe place (never on the floor!)
- Only remove keyboard if you are using it as a tablet
- Gently press down to use the pen, you don’t need much pressure
