each family be in attendance, as important information regarding
Year 5 Camp will be given out on this day.
The following information below will be covered in greater detail at
the Parent Information Evening.
Parent Communication:
You will receive most communication from your class teacher via
email messages. Attached is a form for you to fill in your current
contact details. Please ensure that this is returned before Friday 6th
February to ensure that you are kept up to date with things
happening in the classroom.
You can contact me via email:

I will endeavour to respond to any emails within 24 hours.
Class notices and information regarding upcoming events will be

also be kept as a record on this site.

 Work on Term 1 Project (this will be handed out at some point

in Week 1 and a copy will be placed on our website)
Mathletics- optional (complete assigned tasks which are
updated every 3 weeks or play Live Mathletics)
The students will have all week to complete their homework,
handing it in to me by Friday. This form of homework is designed to
assist the students to develop their time management and
organisational skills and fit in around commitments during the week.
Homework will be written in the student diary at the start of the
week. We ask that parents mark the completed mathematics
homework, in order to give the students immediate feedback and
allow them to improve on any skills during subsequent homework
sessions.
Students are required to read for at least 15 minutes each evening.
They may choose to read their library book, book club book
(distributed Week 2) or a book from home.
If your son is unable to complete homework due to family
commitments, please put a brief note in your sons diary.
Uniform and Absentees:
Please be aware that if your son is absent, you must call the
absentee line before the commencement of school (9223 8186) and
leave a message or write a message on the link provided on the
College Website. If your son arrives late, he must report to Student
Services.
General Excursions/ Viewing:
There may be times throughout the year where we take the students
on a general outing. This may involve a walk down to the park or
travelling by bus to other schools for interschool carnivals. In
addition, as part of our language program we may need to use
pieces of teacher chosen movies that are rated PG. Please sign the
permission slip attached to allow your child to participate in these
activities. We ask that this permission slip be returned by Friday 6th
February.
