Car Park Reminder
Just a few of reminders about the church carpark:
- The disabled parking spaces are for people who are displaying a disabled sticker on their car. Please do not use these parks if you do not display the sticker as we have people in our community who need to use them.
- Parents should not be parking in the front of the church. There is a yellow line and do not park sign in front of the church. Please respect this and do not use this area for picking up children. We are lucky to have use of the second driveway and should respect the request of the Parish that we do not park in the yellow zone.
- The parks against the wire fence are for parents who have babies and are unable to leave their vehicle to collect children. Please show some consideration for these parents.
- Please remind your children to walk on the zebra crossing through the carpark. Children should not be wandering through the carpark on their own amongst the traffic.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP ZONE
The drop off/pick up zone is an area of our school that is set up to allow for traffic to flow safely and quickly at a very busy time of the day. This is a 2 minute parking zone. Parents should not be leaving their car at all when parked in this zone. If your child needs you to greet them at the end of day in person or drop them to a gate you will need to park in the Church car park or at McDonald's reserve. If you have grandparents or other family/friends doing the drop off or pick up for your child/ren please ensure you communicate these expectations to them to ensure safety and fairness for all. The pick up zone is a two way street so no one should be double parking.
Teaching and Learning Open Evening: Year Prep and One
Come along to hear about how we Teach and Learn at Clairvaux.
We are so proud of the steps we have taken over the last few years to bring us to the point we are at now with our teaching and learning framework.
Our instructional model based on the Science of Learning is one that we are continuously striving to refine. Last year we launched our 'playbook' for parents to gain an understanding of how we teach and learn at our school - which is able to be viewed on our website, and now we invite parents to join us for a session as we take you through some key concepts and examples of how and why we teach like we do and then offer you a chance to view the classrooms and work samples.
When: Wednesday 31st July
Time: 5pm - 5:45pm
Where: Foley Centre
Who: Parents of Year Prep/One children
RSVP: We will require an indication of numbers attending as we will reach a capacity for the space. If the link does not work then we have reached our maximum number of parents.Please click here to register
We request that children DO NOT attend the session.
