Junior Campus Notices - Week 8, Term 2

KingsWay School —

Please read the following parent notices for the Junior Campus.

NOTICES FOR THE WEEK:

Health and Safety Notice to Parents

Please be advised that a letter regarding  emergency practice procedures was sent via email to all Junior Campus parents today. A copy of the same letter has been attached to this notice. Please scroll down to attachments at the base of the newsletter. 

Messages to Children During School Hours

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of parents phoning in to the Primary office, wanting messages to be delivered to their children.

Please note that reception staff are not permitted to leave the office unattended, and will no longer be able to do this unless in a real emergency.

Please ensure that your children know how they are going home each day and if a change in plan cannot be avoided, then let the office know by 1pm, so that the teaching staff can be given the message at lunchtime.

Afterschool Arrangements with Children

Parents please ensure your children know what form of transport or arrangement has been made for them at the end of the day. We seem to be having a lot of confusion at the end of the day with children uncertain whether they are taking the bus or being picked up from school. For children who have difficulty remembering what the arrangement is after school, or if their usual routine has changed, we recommend you put a note in their lunch box to remind them.

Junior Campus Car Park - Important Reminder

Please ensure cars are driving slowly and not speeding in or out of the car park. Parents waiting for their children are asked to turn their cars off and to remember to reverse into the car parks, if possible. 

Junior Campus Foyer After School

The Junior Campus staff require the support of all parents and caregivers to please vacate the Junior Campus foyer as quickly as possible after school.

We have various sports teams, Kumon Mathematics and The sKids After School Programme operating in this area from 3.05pm. They are finding it increasingly challenging to instruct their students and run their programmes effectively.

PTA Ladies' Night - next Friday, 29 June

LIMITED TICKETS available. Please book your tickets today!

Mufti Day - next week Friday, 29 June

Darby House Bake Sale - Friday, 29 June

On Friday 29 June, we have our second bake sale, which will be run by Darby to raise funds for Mission. All children in Darby House are asked to bring an item of baking to sell at lunchtime. There only needs to be one baked item per family. Please deliver all baked items to the staffroom first thing in the morning and cut any cakes, ready for selling at 50c - $1.00 per slice.

Students need only to bring loose change as items will cost 50c - $1.00.
Thanking you so much for your support and encouragement for Missions.

Year 5 and 6 HBC Football Zone Day

On Thursday, 7 June, KingsWay School sent two teams to the HBC Football Zone Day. Well done to both teams who played well and showed positive attitudes and teamwork. Thanks to Angela Springer and Lisa Dustow for helping on the day, and to those parents who came to watch.

Flippa Ball

Are there any children in Years 3-6 wanting to have a go at flippa ball with a view to joining the team next term?

The Flippa Ball team are consistently one player short which means they have the option for people to come and give it a go over the next couple of Sundays - this will be free of charge. It would be great to have more children join this fun sport and be a part of the team for next term.

For further information, please visit the school website Flippa Ball page: CLICK HERE

Health Centre 

The Junior Campus Health Centre is after size 4 girls' culottes for the muddy months when children require a change of clothes. If you have size 4 girls' culottes which are no longer needed, please consider donating them to the Health Centre.
