Week 5 Celebrations in K/6G.

This week was a busy week in K/6G as students remembered the people and animals who have sacrificed their lives in war and the signing of the Armistice to signal the end of WW1 in 1918.

Students reminded Ms G that those lost are not only remembered using red poppies but also purple poppies for the animals that died. Luckily Ms Griffin was able to pick one from her garden.

Later in the week, we had the privilege of Mr Bhujel sharing his knowledge of the Dawali festival. He brought his clay pot to school to show the children how a wick is used to light the oil. Students made their own clay pots on Friday as part of the festival of lights that was celebrated on Saturday.

Stay tuned for next week’s NAIDOC celebrations

Dear parents

We want to offer families more flexibility with their work commitments and child care arrangements and to create more opportunities across the whole community. Having Out of School Hours Care available at local schools is a great way to achieve this.

As part of the NSW Government’s $120 million Before and After School Care (BASC) commitment, parents at all NSW schools were recently invited to complete a Have Your Say survey. The survey asked parents to tell us how they are using Out of School Hours Care, how much it costs them, whether they plan to keep using it, and what difficulties they experience in accessing it. The survey results have helped us to better understand the needs of families and what’s important to them.

We are now asking all parents to complete a quick follow-up survey by Friday 27 November 2020. You can access the survey at https://surveys.education.nsw.gov.au/s3/OSHCParentSurvey. This information will help us to target the rollout of more before Out of School Hours Care services in the right areas

If your child does not require Out of School Hours care, we ask that you please still complete the first section of this survey as it gives us important information about the level of demand at your school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your school by phone on 02 6025 1157 or the BASC Program team by phone on 1300 244 145 or email at: BASCReform@det.nsw.edu.au
