MESSAGES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Well it’s taken nearly three years but we’re are finally back on track and ready to present our annual school concert to our community. We are so grateful that Mrs Jenny Adrichem, who retired from St Ita’s 2 years ago put her hand up again this year to co-ordinate the school production. She has done an amazing job working with the kids and staff to put together a really professional show where our Grade 6 students get to show their skills in drama.
Our grade 6 students have done an outstanding job preparing themselves for tomorrow night’s big event, and I’m so proud of our kids especially those who have stepped out of their comfort zones to perform in front of such a huge audience.
Times and requirements have been sent home to all parents, please contact your class teacher via ClassDOJO if you have any questions relating to costumes or expectations on the night. Please make sure children are fed before the concert as the Arts Centre doesn’t allow food to be brought in by children. They will be allowed to bring a drink bottle with them.
We look forward to seeing you all there Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.
NO TURNING TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE ADMIN DROP OFF AND PICK UP
A reminder to all parents and guardians, to please avoid making right hand turns into the school admin drop off and pick up area during the peak morning and afternoon drop off and pick up times.
If you are travelling west to east along Victoria St and there is a bank up of cars, please do not make a right-hand turn cutting in front of them. We asked that all west to east traffic go down through the roundabout at the bottom of Victoria St and come back up the hill to join the carline and enter the school making a left hand turn.
CAR LINE DROP OFF AT ADMIN
We have now implemented a change to our car line procedures at the Admin drop off area each morning. We have two large fluorescent cones to designate the drop off area for all families.
We ask that all parents drive to the very front of the designated drop off point (it should allow 3-4 cars to pull up for students to exit their car). Where possible we request that all children exit their cars via the left-hand side, if your child must exit via the right-hand door, please place your car in park, exit your car, and assist your child to get out and escort them via the rear of your vehicle to a safe area.
We ask all parents to be patient and respectful during drop off and please adhere to the 10kph speed limit.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
A number of students have been out of school uniform since coming back to school from remote learning. All St Ita’s students need to be dressed in full winter uniform which includes black leather school shoes not black sport runners (unless they are all black). Also a number of student are wearing footy beanies or Big Freeze beanies to school on a daily basis. Could I ask parents to please ensure children only wear the official St Ita’s beanie.
