Change of Access to the Front of the School

The access is changing for parents in the mornings and afternoons for drop off and pick up. The single gate at the front of the school will now be closed from now on.

If parents are walking onto the grounds, you must either-

• Walk up the driveway next to the administration block entrance, or
• Walk in the back gate entrance.

If you are driving, your options are -

• Use the drive-through zone and let the teachers help your child/ren in and out of the car,
• Park in the back car park and walk your child/ren to and from their classroom
• Park on a local street and walk your child/ren to and from their classroom

 Please check the email that has been sent today for further clarification. 

Thanks - PPN Leadership

Parent Teacher Interviews 2021

In the past, our Parent Teacher Interviews have run at the end of Term 2 once Mid Year Reports have been sent home. This year, we are bringing this interview process forward to the beginning of Term 2. Our teachers would love the opportunity to connect with our families to discuss their child's learning journey so far and work together to establish goals for the remainder of the year. Parent Teacher Interviews will run on Tuesday afternoon, the 4th of May from 4:00pm onwards, and Wednesday half day, the 5th of May, from 1:15pm onwards. This will mean our students will have a half day on the 5th of May, finishing school at 12:45pm. Please plan for this accordingly. Parents will be able to book into these sessions at the beginning of Term 2, following steps that will be emailed out once bookings are available.

Casual Day—Friday April 9

On the last day of each term, students may come to school in casual clothes only if they bring a gold coin donation. Please note that students need to remember as they choose which clothes they would like to wear for casual day that they need to dress appropriately. Their clothes should cover their bodies in the same way that their uniform does and their shoes should be appropriate for running and playing.

The money raised this way is allocated to either a sister school project or to Asian Aid.

This term’s funds will be set aside for Asian Aid.

Due to the COVID situation the money donated will go towards the health, welfare and safety of the children we sponsor in any way possible under the country’s government guidelines. Asian Aid is working at improving the school environments, increase teacher training and support materials, so that once students can return to school, they return to a better environment than they had when they left. Most importantly the aim is to channel funds to where the needs are most required and where the children would be benefitted the best. Thank you so much for your ongoing generosity towards these projects.
