Communication between home
and school is actively encouraged. There are several avenues available to both
parents and staff.
(a)
QParents is the way to access your child’s student
information online and stay connected with the school. Anywhere, anytime you can access report cards,
attendance records, invoice and payments details and conduct online payments.
(b)
Phone calls, emails, notes or personal contact. Phone numbers, contacts and addresses should be kept
current so that emergencies, particularly, can be handled without delay.
(c)
We are fortunate to have a lot of volunteer parent
helpers who participate in a range of
classroom activities.
In
an effort to improve the service to our children and to ensure our school is as
safe as possible, all classroom volunteers are required to participate in a 60
minute School Induction workshop on Child Protection Policies, Duty of Care,
Workplace Health and Safety and Code of Conduct.
These
workshops will be held throughout 2018. Workshops are free. At the completion
of these workshops, parent volunteers will receive Kin Kora State School
certification which will be used to identify trained classroom helpers.
All
classroom volunteers will require a Blue Card. These may be obtained from the Commission
for Children and Young People and Child Guardian web site www.ccypcg.qld.gov.au/bluecard
Applications are free.
