MARCH 2017 From the Principal Issue 2 Glenorchy Mall As you would be aware from media reports, there have been several fights in the Mall over the last few weeks. All schools in the area are going to work to make sure that students are safe to catch the bus home and to school. We take this situation very seriously. To support our work around this, we ask you to help with the following: Term Dates 2017 TERM 1 If your child/ren are absent from school due to illness etc. they need to Wednesday 8 Feb – Thursday 13 April be at home and not roaming the streets. (Easter Friday 14-Tuesday 18 April) Please reiterate to your children that they may NOT leave school early under any circumstances unless you give them express permission and TERM 2 we have that in writing or a phone call at school. The ideal situation Monday 1 May – Friday 7 July would then be that they are picked up and not left to wander to the TERM 3 Mall. Teachers have been instructed that students are NOT to leave class early unless parent permission is given. Monday 24 July – Friday 29 September To understand that if our students are involved in the Mall during or TERM 4 after/before school, and are identified as Cosgrove students, then they Monday 16 October-Thursday 21 will be suspended due to bringing the school into disrepute. December Thank you for your help with this. Student safety during school time is of prime concern to us. However, we ask that you support our efforts. DATES TO REMEMBER Wednesday 15 March Progress Report Breakfast Reporting to Parents 7.30am-8.30am Please come and collect your child/ren’s first Progress Report for the year on Wednesday, 15th March, between 7.30am - 8.30am.
