2015

Wednesday 28th January Years 1-6 start school

This morning we farewelled our Stage 3 students as they embarked on

their three day camp to Wyee Education Centre. I am sure they will all

have a great time and look forward to hearing of their adventures upon

their return on Thursday. Well done and ‘good luck’ to Mr Kusa, Mr Turner, Mrs Z. Brown and Mrs

B. Brown. I thank them for giving up their own time and taking Stage 3

away!

I remind parents that if you would like to speak with your child’s class

teacher about your child or a school related matter, that you please contact the office to arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet. This

gives teachers time to prepare any information/documents that may be

required for the meeting. Teachers have allocated times during the

school week when we may make appointments with parents. The staff at

Corrimal East Public School are more than happy to speak with parents

before or after school but between 9am and 3pm is learning time and our

responsibility is to ensure the safety, welfare and learning needs of all students. Thank you in anticipation.

A reminder that our school assembly has moved this week from Friday to

Thursday (starting at 11:30am). Our Year 5 students whom have

nominated for School Captain 2015 will present their election speeches

at this important assembly.

   Dogs at School  We have some students at school that are frightened of dogs.  Sec on 14 of the Companion Animals  Act  (1998)  prohibits  dogs  on  school  grounds  except  where  the  principal  gives       permission. We allow dogs to come into school for special events, such as news etc only if the classroom teacher has been informed in advance so that he/she can talk with students and concerned parents about the visit. Dogs visi ng for approved visits must be kept on a leash in school grounds. Thank you in an cipa on. 

Beyblades (and other toys) at school  

All  students  have  been  spoken  to  about  Beyblades  at  school.  We  ask  that  students  only  bring  two            beybaldes to school from home. Students are not to be swapping beyblades at school. Students choosing to play with beyblades do so at CEPSpace at lunch mes.  We do not want to discourage students from bringing in small items to play with at school, but parents are reminded that the school can not ensure the safety of these items and can take no responsibility for lost or damaged items that are brought to school.
