STUDENT DRESS CODE
In 2006, our school adopted a student dress code policy that promotes the objectives of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006. To view the details of our student dress code, please click here: Student Dress Code
STORM POLICY
The procedures that this school will follow if a storm is pending at 3:05pm.
· If a storm is pending the progress of the storm will be monitored on the internet.
· Children will not be released from classrooms until the storm has passed over.
· Parents are to go directly to the classroom and collect their children from the rooms. If parents do not collect their children then teachers will remain with the children in the rooms.
· Children who travel by bus will be released to the undercover areas and then placed on the buses. It will be up to the bus drivers to let the children off at the bus stop if it is considered safe.
· Telephones will work if the power goes off so parents will still be able to contact the school.
· Outside school activities such as sport, play, practice and swimming are always cancelled if there is a storm.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is generally used to provide follow up/review work that has been covered at school. Children should have a good understanding of this work and therefore should not have difficulty with their homework. Should your child experience difficulties in any aspect of homework, please contact your child's teacher.
Homework could include the following elements (depending on the child's year level):
a. Nightly reading. We encourage all children to read for at least ten minutes per night. Parent participation in this nightly activity is highly appreciated.
b. Learning of spelling, number facts, etc. set by classroom teachers. It is important that children learn these using the processes explained by the teachers. (Information sheets on these are available from the school).
c. Written work from any curriculum area. This could include project work.
d. Gathering of materials for school e.g. collecting pictures. We believe it to be very important for parents to help develop effective study habits in children. Setting aside particular time and location for children to do homework is helpful. Similarly, discussing your child's work will also produce positive results.
Parents are provided with a booklet that includes a detailed outline of Spelling Rules and the methods we use to teach Mathematics algorithms (sums) so that parents are able to reinforce methods and language that are taught at school. Please do not hesitate to contact the school at any time re your child's progress in homework.
