Yarma (Welcome)

Welcome Back

It was wonderful to welcome all the students back to school today, eager to begin a new term of learning. We have quite a few extra-curricular activities occuring in the next few weeks, so plase keep up to date and check the School Bytes emails.

Communication with parents

As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We know that you play a crucial role in helping your child become a motivated learner. Communication between our school and our community is critical for us to partner together.

To give our teachers the opportunity to recharge, spend time with their families and bring their best creative selves to work, we are setting clear expectations for when and how they respond to communication outside school operating hours. This means teachers may not reply to non-emergency messages or emails outside of school operating hours.

• Please use the school’s email address for non-emergencies in the first instance or the Class Dojo app. Our staff will respond to your queries within 2 school days under normal circumstances.

• For longer discussions or complex matters, we ask parents and carers to make an appointment to speak to teachers directly, at a time that works best for everyone.

For emergencies, please contact the school office or Principal via Class Dojo

Tel: 03 57443462

Email: mulwala-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au

Emergencies include serious student health, safety and wellbeing issues.

Our staff will always stay in touch because open communication is what’s best for your child and their education. We don't want you to stop communicating with your teachers – we still want to hear from you if you have any questions or need to discuss a matter about your child. We know it’s often easier to send emails or messages after work. We will make sure we read and respond in school operating hours (8am - 4 pm)

Our dedicated teachers want to help our students achieve their best – we’re on the same team.

Thank you for treating our staff with kindness and respect.
