Parents are not allowed to address students directly about incidences that they have witnessed or to reprimand students directly. Parents need to report the incidents to the Deputy Principal, Assistant Principal, one of the co-ordinators, a teacher or the front office. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
Students are entering the school grounds early in the morning and already in disagreement with each other since playing Fortnite the previous evening. The arguments and bickering continue into the classrooms and causes disruptions and disturb the learning of our students. We strongly request that parents not allow their children to play these addictive games, InshAllah. An app called ‘Family Zone’ is available to help parents manage screen time, restrict social media use and remove adult content.
By now all students should have read the required books to receive a certificate from the NSW Premier. Please see Miss Ismail or Mrs Papadopoulos should you require advice.
