Carols by Candlelight

Joondalup Schools are hosting an evening of singing Christmas songs on Tuesday 10 December. The night will officially start at 6:30pm, gates will open at 6:00pm, and the event will be held on the oval outside C Block. Santa will make a visit and there will be a sausage sizzle. There will be live entertainment and candles (battery operated) on sale for $2.00 The night will finish by 7:30pm. All families and friends are welcome and it would be wonderful to see everyone there.

 

Adventure Week

Next week students will be out and about on Adventure Week. This is something we do each year to celebrate the successes achieved throughout the year. Junior and Senior students will be going to various locations in the community and will have lots of fun. If you have not sent in permission notes please do so as students are unable to go on excursions without permission. Next week (on excursion days) make sure students have hats, drink bottles and packed lunches. For students attending Outback Splash please ensure all clothing items are clearly marked with your child’s name.

Christmas Assembly  

The final assembly of the year will be held on Friday 13 December from 8:50am in the undercover area. This assembly will be hosted by the choir and it is an opportunity to sing lots of Christmas Songs together. Students are encouraged to dress up in Christmas colours and clothes to celebrate.

Class lists 2020

Staff have a final draft of lists, and families can now request to see which class their child will be in next year. These are still a final draft – as we are still meeting with families wishing to enrol, which in turn can change the class lists. It is not anticipated that students will be moving intended classes, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Our school will commence next year quite large, and we will have two additional transportable classrooms installed over the first term school holidays in 2020, and they will be ready to use in Term 2 2020. Two classrooms will be moving in Term 2 next year into these new rooms.

We are also in the process of appointing a new second Associate Principal who will commence at the beginning of next year. J Block will become a second administration block and the new Associate Principal will work from this space.

The STEM program (Mr Critchley) will be located in K Block.

Before and after school collection times

Please remember that children should not be at school before 8.30am as classes open at 8.35am.  Parents are welcome to come to the school at 2.50pm to meet their children at 3.00pm which is the end of the day.  If you are on the school site after the school siren at 8.50am and before 2.50pm you need to sign in as a visitor at the school.  As part of the school's evacuation process we need to know who is on the school site at all times.  If we know that you are at the school we will remember to look out for you should we ever need to evacuate. Similarly for the safety of everyone's children, we need to know who is legitimately on the school site.  Quite rightly, the staff and students often report unfamiliar faces to the office.  It allows us to check that people are who they say they are.
