This year we have chosen to change the management of our school assemblies in order to improve the participation levels of our school community.  Our assemblies this year will be grouped as follows:

• Junior Assembly Group (K, PP, P/1, 1)
• Middle Assembly Group (1/2, 2, 2/3, 3)
• Senior Assembly Group (3/4, 4, 5, 6)

The assembly roster for this term is included below with our first assembly being on Wednesday, 20th February at 8.40am  This will be an upper primary assembly hosted by LA 37.

The new Qkr (Pronounced 'quicker') app is now live for families of students at Bertram Primary School.  Qkr by Mastercard can be downloaded for free from Apple's app store for iPhones (for iPads download the iPhone app) or from Google Play for Android phones and tablets.

After downloading the app and registering, simply select Bertram Primary School from 'Nearby Locations' on Qkr or type Bertram after tapping the magnifying glass in the top right of the home screen on Qkr.

You can now pay for 2019 contributions and charges and EDU Dance right now on Qkr.  More items will be available over time, so download it today and take a look at our school or Qkr.

All feedback to the school is very welcome.

We are excited about continuing this phase of our school wide iPad program.

We invite you to join our Mobile Device Management system.  We believe this system will bring with it a number of improvements and supports to further extend your child's learning but also to support you as you work with your child through access and screen time issues many parents are facing on a daily basis.

As we all know parking is an ongoing issue at any school.  It is unlikely to ever be resolved satisfactorily especially with increasing numbers and so requires all our efforts to make the best of the situation.

Some tips for using the Kiss and Drive:

• In the morning: Move to the forward most bay (south end) in the Kiss and Drive area (same as a taxi rank).  Ask your children to get out of the rear left hand side door (the safety door).  Parents and carers remain in the vehicle.  When children are clear of the vehicle, indicate and enter the traffic flow.
• In the afternoon:  In order to ease traffic congestion on Champion Drive during school pickup in the afternoons, drivers are requested not to turn right in to the Kiss and Drive driverway  Instead, please drive down to the roundabout at Mangart Road, and travel back to school turning left into the school Kiss and Drive area.  Remain in the car with your engine running and handbrake on.  Move forward as space is created - do not overtake.
• Discuss with your children your most preferred pick up point.

Please be respectful of other parents and staff as we are all trying to make the best of this situation.
