ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Children
who are to be admitted to school must have their fifth birthday
on or before April 30th of the year of admission. (An Immunization
Certificate must be obtained from the Health Department, Shire
of Wellington, and also proof of birth, i.e., Birth Certificate,
Baptism Certificate, shown at time of enrolment).
ATTENDANCE
Regular
attendance is important as it helps school progress, social adjustment
and the development of dependability. However, home is the place
for a sick child. A sick child cannot work well and may pass his/her
illness on to other children and staff. Please provide a note of
explanation if your child has been absent.
UNIFORM
See a price list & details
of Araluen's school uniform
Please
fill in all details on the family record sheet accurately and
completely. It is most important that the school has the name,
address and phone number of a person to contact in case of emergency.
Your child should also know your whereabouts during the day -
shopping, visiting, etc.
LUNCH
Children
who eat lunch at school may bring it from home in a named container
or order it from the school's supplier. Details re items and costs
will be sent home early in the year. Lunch orders need to be left
in the classroom basket first thing each morning.
Children
who go home for lunch will need written permission.
The
Parents' Club frequently hold Sausage Sizzles, Pie and Icy Pole
days at lunch time. All children are encouraged to avail themselves
of this service as the funds raised are directed back into resourcing
school programs. The Lunch Order service from the school supplier
does not operate when special Parent Club days are held.
