School Uniform

I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of wearing our school uniform with pride. Our uniform is not just a set of clothes; it represents our school community, our values, and our commitment to excellence.

Recently, we have noticed an increasing number of students wearing out of uniform. While we understand that personal expression is important, we encourage all students to wear our school uniform consistently. Wearing our uniform fosters a sense of belonging and unity among students and helps maintain a positive and respectful learning environment.

To support all families in this endeavour, we are pleased to announce the availability of our pre-loved uniform pool. This initiative allows parents and students to access gently used uniforms at a low cost, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to wear our school colours with pride. If you require assistance in purchasing uniforms, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We are here to help and want to ensure that every student feels included and proud to be part of our school community.

Thank you for your continued support!

Pulse Deniliquin

From July 29 to July 31, students in Years 3 to 6 will have the incredible opportunity to participate in workshops in drama, music, and dance, conducted by expert tutors from the Arts Unit. This initiative, known as Pulse Deniliquin, culminates in two performances on Thursday, July 31, where our talented students will showcase their hard work and creativity.

For our younger students in K-2, we have designed a special one-day workshop in creative arts, where they will engage in a variety of activities and have their performance recorded on video for all to enjoy. We are excited to announce that there will be no cost for these workshops, as the Mulwala Water Ski Club has generously provided a grant to cover the transportation expenses.

We encourage all students to take the opportunity to participate in this outstanding event. Please sign the permission note on the parent portal.

NSW Public Schools Student Survey

Term 2, we are offering our students in Years 3-6 the opportunity to participate in the NSW Public Schools Student Survey. The survey gives students the chance to share their thoughts and feelings about life at school, including questions about their engagement, learning experiences and wellbeing at school. The students will participate in the survey from 16-20 June.

Hearing directly from our students will help us understand what’s working well and where improvements can be made to our school. The survey is confidential, takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and will be conducted online during school hours.

Participation is voluntary. If you prefer your child not to participate, please complete the opt-out consent form, which has been emailed to all families, by Friday 13 June. Further information about the survey is available at https://education.nsw.gov.au/npss

Personal belongings

As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a focused and safe learning environment for all students, we would like to remind you of our policy regarding personal belongings at school.

We kindly ask that you discourage your child from bringing personal items, such as toys, games, and sporting equipment, to school. These items can often become distractions during lessons and lead to conflicts during playtime, which can disrupt the overall school experience for both your child and their peers.

Additionally, we want to assure you that our school is well-equipped with a variety of resources and materials for students to enjoy during their time at school, including sporting equipment. Should any items need replenishing, we are fully capable of restocking them to ensure that all students have access to engaging activities.

Furthermore, we want to clarify that the school staff will not be responsible for any personal belongings brought to school. This policy is in place to ensure that all students can fully engage in their learning and enjoy their time during breaks without the worry of misplaced or damaged items.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing this message at home.

Digital  Device Policy

Teachers use a variety of digital devices and online services to enhance the learning of students. These include desk-top computers, Chromebooks and iPads. The students are restricted to using the devices in class time under teacher supervision.

Students may not bring a mobile device to school (including laptops, tablets, wearable technology, such as smartwatches and headphones). If bought to school, the device must be stored in the office, and be collected at the end of the day.

Mobile devices are not to be taken on excursions or extra-curricular activities.

Please read the school's Mobile Device Policy here.
