Parent Reminder: End of Day Routines

Parents and carers are asked to pick up their child/ren at the end of the assembly. Many students are leaving the grounds before assembly has concluded. This sends a mixed message to the children that the end of day gathering is not important. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Enrolling for Kindergarten 2021:

Good Samaritan is beginning to accept enrolments for Kindergarten 2021. We will be holding an Open day on Saturday 7 March 10:00am-12noon. 

Student Leadership 2020:

The process for the nomination and selection of the Good Samaritan Student Representative Council (SRC) was completed yesterday with the presentation of student leader badges. Congratulations is extended to our ten Year 6 student who will form the SRC this year:

In addition to the SRC, each Year 6 student is a House Captain. House Captains are asked to uphold the core values of the person after whom their house is named. We congratulate the leaders of:

Instagram - A Parent’s Guide

Last week’s  newsletter highlighted many aspects of online behaviour and activity. This week a comprehensive parent’s guide to Instagram is provided. Whilst quite a lengthy document the points are important for all parents to consider when the children are wanting to access social media platforms.
