Uniform As the weather cools down please ensure students are wearing the correct school jumpers. All students have been provided with a green jumper to ensure everyone has the correct coloured jumper.

School hats are still required to be worn over the winter months.

Attendance Regular attendance at school is very important. The recommended attendance rate from the Department of Education is above 95%. If your child’s attendance rate falls below 85% we are required to provide this information to the Home School Liaison Officer. You will be notified by letter if your child’s attendance is reaching a rate that requires improving.

We understand that this time of year brings about more illnesses and your child will need to stay home if they are sick. If your child needs to be away for more than 3 days it is recommended that you get a doctors certificate.

All absences must be justified by parents by phone, text, email or note. This will prevent unjustified attendances being recorded.

GRIP Leadership Year 6 students attended the GRIP Leadership Conference in Forster on Thursday 13th May.

They all had a great day participating in interactive activities, discussions, leadership games, and entertainment.
