As COVID restrictions begin to ease we have been able to engage with our community once again, as a school we have really missed the interactions and events that bring our families together. We are excited about the opportunities moving forward to interact again on our school site! Recent examples of this has been the Book Week events and open classroom sessions.

Hats – Term 4

As we head into spring our hats policy will be implemented in Term 4. I would like to highlight that at the beginning of Term 4 all students will be required to wear a school bucket hat or similar. No students will be permitted to wear non school caps as these do not support our sun smart policy or provide sufficient protection to face and neck. Any students in Term 4 who bring non-school caps to school will be asked to remove them and told to sit in the courtyard under the shade during breaks. We ask families to support this policy and ensure all students are sun safe.

Uniform

We continue to support students to wear correct school uniform, the only reason students are permitted to wear non school items is when they have a jacket on over the top of a school jumper when outside. We are enforcing our uniform policy to ensure correct supervision is provided and students can be identified as AFPS students. We also encourage uniform to support our values of respect and aspiration.

Book Week – wrap up

What an amazing experience for our students over the past 2 weeks that teachers have organised and provided. A huge thanks to Mrs Sayers and Ms Johnson who supported the organisation of events across the 2 weeks, including mystery readers and local politicians who visited our school and promoted the love of reading. Thank you to staff and parents who also supported our book week parade and community events.
