Education Week 2022

The theme for our 2022 Education Week is 'Creating futures - education changes lives' as we celebrate all types of learning that occurs across our school and the NSW Education system each and every day.  Education Week will take place next term from Monday 1st Friday - Friday 5th August.

We will hold an open day for families with children in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 on Tuesday 2nd August and an open day on Thursday 4th August for parents and grandparents with children in primary classes.

Other activities during the week will include a Book Fair, Art Showcase, and various items from the performing arts.  An overview of the program will be provided next week.

Smart Energy Schools Pilot Project

School Infrastructure NSW has announced that Drummoyne PS has been selected to take part in the NSW Government's Smart Energy Schools Pilot Project.

The project is the largest schools-based trial of solar, battery energy storage and Virtual Power Plant technology in Australia.

As one of 60 schools in the State, we will be able to generate, store and reuse energy and even share energy with the community.

Solar and battery storage systems will be installed on the roof of the school hall and COLA as part of the project.  We will also be able to access energy data from the systems via an online portal and use the data in teaching and learning activities in the school.

Premier's Spelling Bee

The finals for the Stage 2 and Stage 3 Premier's Spelling Bee competition will be held at the beginning of next term on Tuesday 26 July. Good luck to all of our finalists.

Drummoyne Public School has a 'Drop off and Pick up Zone' on Thompson Street for your convenience and for your child’s safety.

Designed for quick entry and exit, the zone minimises congestion and risk when used properly by all parents and carers. The zone operates under the same conditions as no parking zones, which means you may stop to drop off or pick up children for a maximum of 2 minutes. You are required to remain in, or within 3 metres of, your vehicle.

The zone operates between 8.00am – 9.30am and 2.30pm - 4.00pm. Please remain with your vehicle during these times and stay no longer than 2 minutes so other parents may also safely drop off or pick up their children.

Please apply online at:  https://drummoyne-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/about-our-school/enrolment.html

The Online Enrolment System is designed to provide flexibility for parents to submit an enrolment application online and at the time that best suits you.

The application can be accessed on all browsers and mobile devices including iOS and Android. The online application process is currently restricted to:

• Enrolments into local schools
• Children who are Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or permanent residents
• Children who live in NSW.

We offer our support and encourage you to complete your application to enrol online. If, however, you do not feel comfortable completing an application online, a paper copy will be available for collection from the front office or can be downloaded from the Department’s Going to a Public School site.

This week we sent home our first digital (paperless) consent form for the whole school Athletics Carnival. 

• The consent form was sent directly to your nominated family email address.
• Signatures for permission notes are legally accepted via an online e-signature
• All notes are printable, however we will have some hard copies available at the front office wall.

By using online permission notes, we hope to provide another efficient way for families to communicate with the school.
