Compass Parent Portal

This week, via email, you received your login details and information to assist you with navigating the Compass Parent Portal. Another email will follow with a detailed information guide. Print log-in information will also go home this week for your records. 

You can now book your Three-Way Conversation with your child's teacher. These will be held on Monday 13 - Tuesday 14 March. There will also be a Local Excursion consent form waiting for you to submit. Year Six families will also have a retreat excursion consent form to submit. To find this go to the 'Events' tab. 

Please contact the school for assistance if you have any questions regarding your Compass Parent Portal.

Welcome Function

I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the parents and students who attended our school's welcome function, Family Bingo Night, held last Friday night at the Crookwell Golf Club.

Seeing so many families come together and enjoy a fun-filled evening of bingo, laughter, and socialising was wonderful. I appreciate your enthusiastic participation and support, which made the event a tremendous success. 

I would also like to express our gratitude to the Crookwell Golf Club for providing a fantastic venue and supporting our school community.

Three-Way Conversations and Interim Reports

You are invited to attend a ten-minute three-way (parent/student/teacher) conversation on Monday, 13  or Tuesday, 14 March. This conversation will allow you to discuss how your child has settled into the new school year, their social development and engagement with learning.

The teacher will also provide you with your child's Interim Report at this meeting. The Interim Report indicates your child's enjoyment and interest in learning new things, ability to ask and answer questions, perseverance with tasks, work habits, ability to avoid distractions, follow school rules and collaborate with others. 

Students in Years One - Six are to attend the meeting with their parents. Kindergarten students are not required to be part of the interview process.

If you have any concerns before these Three-Way Conversations, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher. 

To book a time slot, log into the Compass Parent Portal, or call Belinda.

You will receive your child's Academic Report at the end of Term Two.

Local Excursion Consent

This year the Local Excursion Consent Form can be completed digitally on the Compass Parent Portal. This general consent form allows your child/children to take part in local excursions. Examples of a 'Local Excursion' could include going to the showground for our Cross Country Carnival or Todkill park for our Athletics Carnival, visiting the Senior Citizens centre, planting with Landcare at Kiamma Creek, and the like.

Crookwell Country Weekend

On Saturday, 18 March, we have been invited to participate in the Crookwell Country Weekend Street Parade.

So our students can be clearly seen, and to mitigate possible risks,  we have decided to walk as a group in this parade rather than travel on the back of a truck.

Our parade theme will be 'Country Kids'. We ask that students come to the muster point at 9.30am wearing country-themed clothing, such as checked shirts, jeans, boots and cowboy hats. The parade commences at 10am, and the students will move down Goulburn Street to country music.

We encourage as many of our students to join in as possible. Further details will be given closer to the date. 

Children's Crossing

Thank you to the parents who have been using our new pedestrian crossing to drop off or collect students. We request that you do not cross your child/ren in the Bus Zone. It is important to teach your children road safety practices.

Please feel free to use the School Drop-off Pick-up Zone in front of the Murphy Building (K/6 classrooms).
