Term Dates

Communication
Teachers and administration staff use EdSmart to send email information to families. You will receive emails with a parent return slip for excursions, incursions, camps and school events, as well as to give more general consent for students such as photography permissions, consent to go on local walks, etc. Family contact details are stored on our school information system; if you update any details, please advise the school to ensure you continue to receive emails.
Classroom teachers will use Toddle to share student learning and to communicate with parents and carers. Please check with your child’s teacher if you do not receive information to register.
Absences
Please notify the school of absences, due to illness or for family reasons, before 9:30am via one of the following means:
- Email dl.0169.info@schools.sa.edu.au
- Phone 8331 7521
- SMS 0476 857 360
Late arrivals and early departures must be signed in/out at the front office.
Planned absences of three or more days, e.g. for family holidays, must be approved in advance by the Principal; exemption forms are available at the front office or download by clicking the link below:
Chromebooks
Students in Years 3 to 6 use Chromebooks – for more information, please see the BYOD Chromebooks page, and the Digital Devices Policy which outlines the benefits of learning with technology.
Payment
Parents are able to make payments by using Qkr! (a Mastercard app) for everything from Materials & Services Charges, to After School Sports registrations and lunch orders. It is best if only one parent or carer installs the app, to avoid duplicate payments.
