Student Supervision commences at 8.50 and finishes at 3.45.

Education is important, “It’s not ok to be away”, or to be late!!Please send in

absences via Flexibuzz. Or phone in by 9am 5342 4487

Communication is a critical aspect of school life. We currently use both FlexiBuzz (App)

and our Website. The newsletter comes out weekly and we have paper copies

available on request from the office. All events are listed in our calendar and we try to

maintain dates to assist with forward planning.

In 2017, we transferred our Phone line to a VOIP service, which communicates

through the internet. Our phone number has changed and although the current

number is currently going across to the new line, this will stop at the end of June. Our

current number is 53 424487

Please note our new number as we move across.

Haddon Primary School: 43 444139

(Both numbers are currently active)

Our Out of School Hours Care provider has spaces available for families to enrol. The

Happy Jacks Bus comes to collect the children and take them into the venue. They

provide a comprehensive range of services and have permanent and casual places

available. If you wish to have an enrolment pack, please pop into the office as we have

them available for families.

We still have a few families that have not paid for the booklists please endeavour to

settle your account promptly.

Our prep students currently have Wednesdays at home and will be moving across to

full time in week seven. This is the long weekend and our pupil free day. As such, the

preps will be coming along on the 14th of March (Wednesday) that week.

Please ensure that your child has their hat at school as we appear to have quite a few

children who leave them at home. Children who do not have their hats are required to

remain under the veranda, in the shade, which is difficult for them.

We have several students within our school who are allergic to Nuts; as such, we ask

all families to support out Nut Free environment, including Nutella. These children are

extremely vulnerable and we are responsible to reduce the risk of an anaphylactic

reaction. If there are dietary issues that you need to bring to our attention for your

child please do not hesitate to phone or pop in to navigate a food plan. Please help

keep all children safe.

No nuts or nut products are to be included in lunch boxes.

HADDON PRIMARY SCHOOL WEB SITE

We have decided to revamp our Haddon Primary School website and would like

feedback from parents as to what they see as important changes that need to be made

to the pages or additions to the site. We are hoping to add some parent information

links and to update the student photos.

Please write your ideas down and forward to school .. Thank you

children in the morning and bring them to school. As well as Pupil Free days they will

also provide care for the day.
