School Routines 

Routines are essential in creating a calm and predictable school environment. Clear expectations for student movement and lining up help ensure safety, efficiency, and a positive start to each learning session.

At the beginning of the school day, students should move calmly to their designated area and line up in an orderly fashion. They should stand quietly, facing forward, and be ready to enter the classroom when instructed. This allows for a smooth and focused transition into learning.

During the school day, students move calmly and quietly through the school to ensure they do not disturb the learning of others. When transitioning between lessons, going to specialist classes, or moving around the school, students should walk in an orderly manner, in 2 lines, keeping to the left where possible. Voices should be kept low to respect classrooms in session.

When walking, students should stay together and follow their teacher’s directions. If moving independently, they should walk directly to their destination without stopping to chat or play. These expectations help maintain a focused learning environment and allow all students to engage fully in their lessons.

By following these simple routines, students contribute to a respectful and well-organized school environment. These expectations help promote responsibility, cooperation, and a positive learning experience for everyone.

Rescheduled P-2 Swimming Sessions

Due to the recent cyclone, we had to postpone the Week 7 Prep to Year 2 swimming sessions. We’re pleased to confirm that these lessons have now been rescheduled with Swim Solutions and will take place on Monday, 31 March, and Tuesday, 1 April (Week 10).

Please ensure your child brings their swimwear, towel, goggles, and a water bottle on their swimming day.

Thank you for your understanding—we appreciate your support in making sure our students can still enjoy this important water safety experience!

Run4Fun

Get ready to move! Our Prep to Year 2 students will be taking part in Run 4 Fun, a fantastic event promoting fitness, participation, and school spirit on Wednesday 2 of April (week 10). This is a great opportunity for our youngest students to enjoy being active in a fun and supportive environment.

Students will run a cross country style race around the school oval.  Participating students will collect one token for each lap of the oval for their Sport House.

Reminders:

• wear house T-shirts, running shoes, sunscreen and a hat (which may be taken off for the run)
• bring a water bottle
• parents may like to bring a chair

Starting times (aprox): 

• Year 2 - 9:25am
• Year 1 - 9:40am
• Pre - 9:55am

Cross Country – Year 3 – 6

We’re excited for the Year 3-6 Cross Country event, happening on Friday, 28 of March 2025, at Ben Lomond Park, Aspley, first race starting at 9:15 am.

As the event may take place in warm conditions, it’s important for students to be Sun Safe. They should wear a broad-brimmed or bucket hat, apply sunscreen before arriving, and bring at least two bottles of water to stay hydrated. Our reversible school hats are perfect for the day! Students should also wear suitable running shoes for comfort and safety.

Families are welcome to bring a chair and cheer on our runners—we look forward to a fantastic morning of participation and school spirit!
