PRIMARY COORDINATOR

A warm welcome back to school to our Sirius College families and trust that everyone enjoyed a safe and relaxing break and had the opportunity to enjoy some family time together, doing a whole range of fun and interesting things. We have had quite a number of new students enrol this year which is extremely pleasing. A special welcome to our new children and families and congratulate to them on selecting our school as their very important educational setting. 2019 has begun very smoothly and students have settled in well. Just a few friendly reminders:

The Importance of Full Time Attendance

Daily school attendance is important for all children and young people to succeed in education and to ensure they don’t fall behind both socially and developmentally. It is expected that your child/children will be at school, in class at 8:55am until 3.25pm every day. Students who are late, not only miss out on learning but disrupt the whole class and the teacher who has commenced the day’s program.

Nude Food Lunches

All students are encouraged to bring ‘nude food’ lunches. A nude food lunch has no foil, gladwrap or any other packaging. Please unwrap and throw any rubbish out at home, to help us significantly reduce the amount of rubbish scattered throughout our school. A labelled drink bottle containing water is highly encouraged. Research shows that children learn best when they are well hydrated.

School Uniform

Our Sirius College school uniform should be worn correctly and be in good condition. Please ensure all items of clothing are named. Please be aware that hair which is longer than shoulder length for girls, is tied up and hair accessories are school colours only. Jewellery is not part of the school uniform and students may only wear small stud earrings. Shoes should be black only but do not necessarily need to be leather.

Sun Smart

Just a reminder that Term 1 is a Sun Smart term. Students are expected to wear their school hat outside at all times. If your child requires a new hat, they may buy it at the school office for $15. We encourage students to apply sunscreen before coming to school. Extra sunscreen is available in the classrooms.

I am looking forward to another extremely successful year with your children, working in partnership with you to support your children’s learning.

Regards,
