Dear Parents,

We know that most of your children enjoy coming to school and have great days here getting on with their learning, both school work and socially.

When things go a bit wrong, we ask you to contact us early, before a concern becomes a major issue.
Usually class teachers are the first people to contact, as they know your child/children best and can respond promptly and well to what you tell them. Sometimes you may feel the need to contact team leaders, who have overall responsibility for their team and a year level of children. The senior leadership team can also be contacted if required and especially if concerns are ongoing. Marie Todd looks after Years 1, 2 and 3, while Paul Crowhurst looks after Years 4, 5,and 6. I have an open door and am available as needed.
Contact details of staff are on the school website along with school policies.

You may have heard that some children are having difficulties with using toilets appropriately. Please talk to your sons (and to a lesser degree your daughters) so that the cleaners and caretakers are not having to clean up messes in the toilets. After school, the toilets in Room 25 and the hall are available for use as needed. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
