Queen of Apostles School
Term 4 Week 6 - Thursday 16 November, 2023
Welcome to the 2025 School Year
Welcome back to the new school year! We hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer break. I would like to officially welcome Miss Buck (Pre-Primary Teacher), Mrs Fernandes (Finance Officer) and Ms Tian (Education Assistant) to our staff this year. I would also like to welcome the students and families new to our school. I hope your time with us is rewarding and lifegiving.
Parent Information Evening
On Wednesday 11th February all classes from PP to Year 6 will be conducting their Parent Information Evening in the classroom. Each information session will run for 25/30 mins and will be repeated so as many families as possible can access the information. At the information sessions, you will find out about classroom rules and routines, teacher expectations, homework procedures and ways parents can assist in the learning process. The first session starts at 5.30pm and will be repeated at 6.00pm.
Recess/Lunch Time
This term we are trialling a 30min recess and 30min lunch instead of 20min recess and 40min lunch. The students will still have the same playing time throughout the day it’s just split up differently. One of the major reasons for this trial is we have noticed that the majority of incidents that occur during lunchtime happen in the last 10 minutes. We are hoping this change means less incidents, and students coming into class more settled. This we believe will help produce better teaching and learning outcomes. Students will also have more time to play at recess when the weather is cooler. As this is a trial for Term 1, I will communicate the outcome towards the end of the term as to whether this becomes a permanent part of the school timetable.
Medical Information
To ensure your child’s well-being, the school requires that parents provide up-to-date medical information in regard to any allergies or medical conditions. If your child is allergic to bee stings, nuts, shellfish, eggs etc and may suffer an allergic reaction, it is paramount that the school is informed. Your doctor will need to provide an anaphylaxis plan with instructions that the school will follow. If your child suffers from asthma, a plan is also required for staff to follow in the event of an asthma attack. Anaphylaxis plans and asthma plans are to be presented to the office with medication to ensure that in an event of a medical incident, your child can be treated effectively. Any other medical information that may be relevant must also be presented in written form to the office. This information will remain confidential within the staff-teaching environment.
