Applicants need to provide a valid Working with Children Check upon application and successful applicants will be required to undertake a pre-employment medical prior to commencement. Apply via email [email protected] or visit their webpage www.jossgroup.com.au
LIBRARY BORROWING Borrowing has commenced for 2021. Kinder and Stage 1 students may borrow one book at a time, Stage 2 two books and Stage 3 three books. Students will only be able to borrow if they have brought a bag to protect their books. A Library bag is preferable although a plastic bag, shopping bag or pillowcase will suffice. We recommend that students return books weekly yet understand that longer novels may take a fortnight to read. It is important to return books on time to take advantage of borrowing opportunities and so others have access to popular books. Please take note of class Library times and ensure books and bags come to school on your child’s Library day. We acquire new books regularly and encourage all students to utilise the wonderful resources in our Library.
THE PARROT As per the information sent out last year, we are no longer sending home a paper copy of The Parrot to every family. It is always available via the School’s Website and Facebook Pages. New Kinder families will receive a paper copy in Term 1. At any stage if families wish to have a paper copy of The Parrot they can
simply contact the school and arrange to have a paper copy sent home each week if they choose.
