DATES TO REMEMBER 10th Feb West Coast Eagles visit 17th Feb 7-8.30pm P&C meeting in staffroom 20th Feb Year 6 Room 14 Assembly 2nd March Labour Day

3rd March SDD no students attend

Welcome back to all our students and their families for 2015, particularly new students who are starting at SBPS this year. Monday saw the commencement of the 2015 school year with 385 students arriving ready to start classes. Thanks goes to all parents and staff for making this first day smooth and stress free. We also welcome teachers, Miss Sarah Brunton and Mr Josh Raven. We hope they enjoy their time here with us. Student Arrival Time: Parents are asked to use before and after school care for early arrivals. There is no requirement for students to be at school before 8:30am Before this time teachers are busy preparing for the day ahead. Par-ents assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Ideally students should arrive at school between 8:30am and 8:40am. Anyone arriving prior to 8:30am must remain in the UCA. Students arriving late put themselves under unnec-essary pressure and are then forced to play “catch-up” for the rest of the day. The canteen offers a breakfast club for students. Cereal, fruit, yoghurt and toast is available free of charge. This is sponsored by Foodbank. School Finishes at 3:10pm: Please ensure your child is aware of the pre-arranged place for pickup at the end of the day. Students become distressed if parents are not where they are supposed to be. The ‟kiss and drop‟ drive is a safe option to deliver and collect children to and from school, however it is a „move on area‟. You are asked to park in the car park areas provided and be mindful not to block our neighbours driveways to their homes. Do not ride your bike or skate board through the school, including the „kiss and drop‟ area and car parks. Parents are asked not to cut through classrooms to get your child. Teachers are often working after the day ends or interviewing parents. Student belongings: Parents please ensure that your child‟s belongings, such as stationery, clothing, hats, water bottles, are clearly labelled with the student‟s name. School Uniform: It is great to see our student‟s in school uniform on their return to school. We encourage all students to wear school uniform. Parents are reminded that as per Government legislation, denim is not allowed to be worn to school. Please do not send your child to school in board shorts, these are for the beach. A very big thankyou to the P&C members who opened the uniform shop prior to school starting. Our new shorts with the school logo look great and are available from the uniform shop. Faction shirts will be available to those who place an order. Voluntary Contributions and Student Update Forms: have now been printed and will be handed to parents or posted next week. It is vital that we have the correct personal details for each student. Please update any details, sign the back page and return to school by Friday 27th February. Voluntary contributions can be paid using cash or EFTPOS at the office. Payment through Centrepay may also be an option for you. Please see office staff for the necessary form. School Development Day: Parents are reminded that Tuesday 3rd March is a SDD and students do not attend. This date was selected to back onto the long weekend to allow families a longer break.
