Here is an overview of general school procedures and our classroom routines:
Arrival
An assembly bell rings at 8:35am each morning and your child should line up with our class in the undercover area when this bell rings. If you would like to walk your child up to the undercover area, please ensure you have said your goodbyes before they line up. We ask that you do not walk your child down to the classroom after morning assembly. This is an important part of our morning routine that promotes the children's independence and organisational skills.
Late Arrivals
If your child is arriving after 8:45am in the morning they will need to be signed in at the office. The office will then give your child a late pass which is to given to the class teacher.

Lunch
Children have lunch breaks at 10:40am and 1:30pm. The children will eat their main lunch in the first break. Food choices impact heavily on the way in which children behave and learn at school. I encourage all children to eat a piece of fresh fruit during the day. I also recommend a sandwich and fruit yoghurt. Please note that lollies are not to be brought to school. Please ensure that your child brings a drink bottle of water to school every day. Access to a water bottle inside the classroom is much more time efficient than using water fountains.

Home Folders
To help with
organisation, children will take home a Home Folder each night. These folders contain such things as
homework, notes and home readers.
Children will need to establish the habit of returning the folder to
school each day. Our main form of communication will be via the classroom blog and Twitter. Any messages between home and school can be via email at cvanderkamp@bne.catholic.edu.au. If you would like to discuss anything with me I am happy to make appointments before or after school.
Our class library lesson will be on Thursday. Please ensure that your child brings a library bag to school on this day. Our class PE and Music lessons occur twice a week on Wednesday and Thursday. Sports uniforms are to be worn on these two days.
Birthdays
If your child would like to share a birthday treat with the class please send either small cupcakes for each class member or a water ice block. We have 30 children in the class.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or concerns during the year, however, it would be greatly appreciated if it were by appointment or after school as the mornings are very hectic! I wish you and your child a very happy year in One Green.
