Bicycles & Scooters
While we don’t have a minimum age for bike riders, parents should be certain that their children understand the road rules and are competent in what is frequently very heavy traffic before allowing them to ride to school. It is suggested that bikes are padlocked to the bike stands while at school. Children are encouraged to ride scooters at morning tea and lunchtimes - but must wear a helmet.
Communications
A weekly 'Acorn Express' is emailed home every Friday. This informs you of the events for the following school week. School Newsletters are sent home every three weeks. Copies of all notices and newsletters are on the school website. Our school Facebook page is regularly updated with information and school news.
