A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):
25 September 2026
Dear Parents
What a wet week it has been. I hope everyone has managed to stay dry!
One of the highlights of the week has been our International Day of Peace activities. Students have been exploring how small acts of peace can make a big difference. In our assemblies, we introduced an exciting “footprint” project, inviting students to design floor decals that will be displayed around our walkways as a visible reminder of the positive impact we can all have.
Next week, we look forward to welcoming parents to our Year 1 to Year 6 Parent Teacher Meetings. Scheduled intentionally early in the academic year, these meetings provide an opportunity to discuss how well your child is settling into school and to share the initial academic indicators and observations we have gathered so far.

Wellbeing
Uniform Reminder – School Shoes
As part of our shared commitment to being Safe, Curious and Kind, we would like to remind families about our school uniform expectations, with a particular focus on school shoes.
Children should wear plain black school shoes or fully black trainers as part of their daily uniform.. Wearing the correct uniform helps children to be safe and appropriately dressed for the school day, supports a positive and purposeful learning environment, and helps create a strong sense of belonging and community across the school.
Thank you for your support in helping children take pride in their uniform and come to school ready to learn.
Playground use before school
Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.
There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30pm.
The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.
We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.
Nut Free Primary School
We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days.
Some treats, such as macarons contain hidden nuts. Please check the ingredients before sending into school. If snacks or birthday treats are found to contain nuts, we will contact you and either dispose of the food safely or ask you to collect and take back home.
Learning
Assembly - Friday 2nd October
Please note that the Year 2 assembly will not be held in the Primary Hall on this date. Unfortunately, this means that parents will not be able to attend this assembly.
Thank you for your understanding.
Parent Support

Parents who volunteer may be invited to support in year groups other than the one their own child is in.
Safeguarding presentation for parent volunteers
Dear Primary Parents,
Parent volunteers are a great help in our year groups.
As part of our Student Safeguarding, any parent who may be in direct and regular contact with students is required to complete a three-step process.
- Attend a Safeguarding presentation.
The next session is scheduled for Friday 2nd October at 0800 am.
- Read and sign the most recently updated Parent Safeguarding Code of Conduct.
- Read and sign a Self-Disclosure form confirming that you have never been subject to any investigation with reference to children or young people.
The presentation will be held in the Primary Hall. Please sign up via this link.
We will have hard copies of the Parent Code of Conduct and Self-Declaration Form (attached) ready for you to sign, or you can print and bring with you.
Parent volunteers are required to attend a presentation every two years.
If you attended volunteer training in September 2024 or earlier, please attend this session.
Kind Regards
Hannah Pinkney

Birthday celebrations
Taiki (2S); Jenny (2C); Park (2B); Paeng (2C); Isabel (2F) and Nishkka (2D)
A huge happy birthday from everyone in Year 2!
We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.
If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts, or cupcakes.
Class birthday celebrations
We enjoy mini birthday celebrations in class but ask that you pre-arrange a time with the teacher.
Please note, this is a small celebration within the class. It is not a ‘birthday party’ and siblings and friends from other classes are not allowed to attend.
Birthday treats should be small, with minimal plastic wrapping. Please only send enough for your child’s class.
Individual portions such as small brownies, small cupcakes, and half-donuts are easy to give out.
All food sent into school must be nut free.
As school policy, we do not give out party bags, drinks or gifts sent in by families.
Please do not give out any of these items at school as this can cause unintended problems.
Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School and also check with the class teacher for any other dietary requirements of the class.
Temporary Guardianship Form - let us know if both parents are going away and leaving a student with a friend, nanny or a maid.
