TOPSTEPS and STEPping Up Together Our “TOPSTEPS” Day is coming up next week, and we will also have a “STEPping Up Together” Day next term – these are days where children with particular gifts and talents have the opportunity to share and develop these talents with passionate teachers from the 7 schools in the STEPS community.

Mobile Phones We recommend your child does not bring a mobile phone to school – however, if your child needs to bring a mobile phone to school for safety reasons on the walk to or from school they must hand them in to the office as soon as they arrive at school. These may then be collected at 3.00pm.
Change of Morning Routine From this morning, all children will line up in their class lines in the main quad area. Parents will leave at this time. Children will be sent to their classes from the main quad area in an orderly and quiet manner once parents have left. We ask that all parents leave quickly so we can get children into class in a quiet, settled and time efficient manner.
Have a wonderful fortnight,
Kind regards,
Mrs Michelle Lawrow Principal Clairgate – just great!!
