Lunches & Lunch Eating

It is important that children have healthy lunches and snacks at school. Water bottles are great to have at their tables to drink. Please don’t freeze drink bottles or put cordial in them. We encourage ‘rubbish free’ lunches to minimise the rubbish in our yard and the waste of resources that are used to wrap food items. by using plastic containers you can help reduce the amount of rubbish brought to school.

Lunch is eaten inside between 1:20 and 1:30 pm. If a student has not completed eating their lunch they take their lunch outside and eat in the eating area under the shade sails.

Lunch Orders

The Irymple General Store supply the school’s lunch orders on WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY.

We use the Flexischools app which can be downloaded from the App Store.

More Information

Medication

If your child requires medication whilst they are at school, the medication needs to be taken to the office by the parent or guardian. The school can only administer medication if we receive it from an adult. Dosage and times need to be clearly labelled on the medication. Children should not have medication in their bag.

Medication Plan

If your child suffers from asthma, anaphylaxis or allergy, we require an updated action plan that has been filled in and signed by your doctor. These plans need to be updated annually. Please ensure that you supply the school with a current plan.

The newsletter is published weekly and is emailed out each Friday. The newsletter can also be accessed from this website in the 'NEWS' component or through your Xuno Account.

Assembly

Each Monday and Friday whole school assemblies are held. Each week a different class is responsible for running the assembly. The national anthem is sung on Monday’s assembly, along with acknowledgement of country . Birthdays are celebrated on both days. Students of the Week are presented with their certificates on Monday morning. Parents are welcome to stay and attend assembly.

Students of the Week

Teachers recognise children who have made a special effort in class during the week by awarding them a ‘Student of the Week’ certificate that are linked to our school expectations. Each class, specialist teacher and the principal give out an award each week. The students of the week are announced in Friday’s newsletter and awards are given out on Monday’s assembly.

Attendance

Parents can notify teachers of a child's non-attendance by phoning, emailing or a private message through Seesaw. You can also provide reasoning through Xuno. Attendance is a key to a student reaching their full potential.

Late Arrivals & Early Departures

Any late arrivals or early departures must be signed in through the Xuno Kiosk in the front office. This is a Department of Education mandatory expectation.

Social Media

The school has a Facebook and Instagram account where we strategically inform our parents of the happenings at ISPS. Along with Xuno and Seesaw, we use these digital platforms to provide parents with an insight into the children's experiences.
