Sutton Public School is making sure all students have the chance to make a great start to 2019, whether they are new to the school or coming back.
We want every student to make a strong start in education by being fully engaged in their learning and challenged to do their best, in a safe, supportive environment.
The information families need about how to prepare for the new school year is included in this letter. You will also find this information on our website, it includes starting dates, school hours, uniform information, advice about books and other supplies, voluntary contributions and student health.
Sutton Public School is part of the local community, and has always appreciated the support it receives from the community.
We strongly encourage parents and carers to find out about what their children are learning and how they are learning, and to know how we support our students through our wellbeing programs including anti-bullying, cyber-safety and behaviour policies. A “Meet the Teacher” evening will be held early in Term 1, 2019. Watch out for key dates on our website and Skoolbag app.
Starting school is a big event in any Kindergarten child’s life, and a good start will influence the rest of their school career. There is sound and practical advice on the Department of Education’s Back to School hub at education.nsw.gov.au/backtoschool.
Our school will close for the summer break at 4:00pm on Friday 21st December 2018 and reopen on Tuesday 29th January 2019. Our teachers and support staff at Sutton Public School return to school on Tuesday 29th January. New and existing students in Years 1 to 6 return on Wednesday 30th January 2019. Kindergarten students attend their Best Start Interviews by appointment between Wednesday the 30thJanuary and Thursday 1st February 2019. They have their first full day of school on Friday 2nd February 2019.
You are able to contact staff through the front office by phone or email. Our office staff will forward any digital or written correspondence to the relevant staff member to respond.
Yours sincerely,
Ms C. Pritchard
Principal
