Concerns

Should there be a matter or issue which is of concern to you, please do not hesitate to contact the school to make a mutually convenient appointment time to discuss this matter with the class teacher.

A discussion, phone call or email will usually clear up any queries or misunderstandings.

By contacting the school in the first instance, areas of concern are hopefully able to be resolved quickly and amicably. In the first instance these should be discussed with the teacher and if necessary with the Associate Principal for your child’s sub-school.

Emergency Contact

Parents are requested to make sure that the emergency address and the phone number registered on their child’s admission card is up to date.

If this is done, unnecessary delays in making contact with parents will be averted.

If employment or postal details change, please contact the school immediately with the updated details.

Factions

All children belong to one of four factions, all family members will be in the same faction.

DOLPHINS (Green)
WHALES (Red)
SHARKS (Gold)
STINGRAYS (Blue)

When representing their factions, children can wear their faction-coloured shirt.

Homework

Each classroom teacher has their own policy regarding homework in line with the school’s expectations. Homework focuses on the revision of concepts covered in class or the reinforcement of work already completed.

There may be times when your child will require assistance, however they should be able to complete most tasks independently.

Nightly reading is our main focus here at Mindarie.

If you have any queries regarding homework please arrange a time to speak with the teacher.

Kiss ‘N’ Drive

Mindarie Primary School students are encouraged to either walk or ride their bikes to school – especially those in years 3 and up.

If, however, that is not feasible, students should be set down and picked up in the designated and marked area in Abbeville Circle near the corner of Rothesay Heights. In 2012, the P&C Assocation RoadWise committee and the City of Wanneroo had the Kiss and Drive bays extended to allow for more families to make use of them.

While in the Kiss and Drive area, drivers should remain in their vehicle with the engine still running. Please note this is NOT a Parking Area.

If your child is not at the Kiss and Drive waiting for you, please continue around the block allowing other parents to pick up their children who are waiting.

The school’s car parks at the front and rear of the school ARE NOT to be used for setting down or collecting children for obvious safety reasons.
