Kindergarten Orientation
Today we welcomed a small group of new children to St Benedict’s. They were nervous and excited. Many children who begin school these days have already experienced more than just pre-school. They have often spent time in long day care as well and are quite used to meeting and playing with new children. We’re looking forward to a fun year of learning with our new community members in 2020. Fran Tomadini will be teaching Kindergarten at St Benedict’s next year. Teachers for other classes will be determined shortly.

School Supervision
There are an increasing number of students who arrive at school well before 8:30am – some as early as 8:00am – and they need to sit and wait for the teacher who begins duty at 8:30am. If students are being dropped to school or making their own way, they should not be on site prior to 8:30am. If your work commitments do not allow for a drop off after 8:30am you might like to consider accessing YWCA before school care.

Please also note that students are supervised after school under the trees until 3.30pm. Children that are still at school after this time are then taken to the front office. We understand that parents get held up and run late on the odd occasion and this cannot be helped. Please be advised that going forward those students that are repeatedly picked up after 3.30pm will be taken to YWCA after school care for supervision.

Signing In and Signing Out
A reminder to parents and carers if children are arriving late or departing early from school. All students must be signed in or out by their parent or guardian at the office.  It is also important for all volunteers to also sign in and out, this is it cover you incase of an accident.

Volunteers Signing In and Signing Out
All volunteers must have a current WWVP Card, which they must carry on them when working as a volunteer for the school.  It is also a requirement that all volunteers sign in and out of the Front Office when volunteering.  This is also to cover the volunteer in the case of an accident.
