General Information
Lost Property
We ask that all clothing is clearly named. Any clothing that cannot be returned to its owner is placed in lost property boxes or racks in each area of the school.
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.
We have a Wheels Track that is available for children to use at break times. Children may bring a bike or scooter (please name) or can use one of the donated school bikes/scooters. All children 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.
Stationery Sales
We do not carry stocks of all stationery items that we use. Lists are available online here. For New Entrant stationery packs or pencils, please visit the Office.
