FREE CYBERSAFETY PRESENTATION WITH SUSAN

McLEAN

Susan McLean will be our guest presenter this Thursday,

September 20th at 6.30 pm in the hall.

Susan is a lead expert in the field of Cyber safety and young

people. I would encourage all parents and carers to attend this

informative session. If you use social media as a personal tool,

it maybe also advantageous to come and see if you have confi-

dence in your ability to comply with the Federal rules and com-

pliances. Further information was made available to families in

a separate flyer last week.

Please place this date in your calendar, as it is an event that all

parents should attend and log onto

www.trybooking.com/423061 to ensure you have a seat for the

event.

SCHOOL WEBSITE UPGRADE

During the week, we had an upgrade on our school website.

The new design has a fresh new look and some great new

features. All the school calendar events have been entered

onto the website under the Quick Links section, and you can

also access Compass through the website as well.

WALK OR RIDE TO SCHOOL DAY OCTOBER 16TH 2018

The City of Kingston has produced a brilliant brochure for all community members identifying the safest walk

and wheels routes to school. On Tuesday, October 16th we will be having a special event, where we

would like families to meet some of our teaching staff at one of the four route starting points:

Yellow: At Launching Way Purple: In Sovereign Close Green: At Eel Race Road Orange: Palm Beach Drive

The walk will culminate in a special breakfast event at school. Maps and further information will be provided to families in the first week of Term 4!
