National Ride2School Day 2019 Friday 22 March
Did you know health professionals agree that the number one thing we can do to prevent chronic disease is to encourage children to travel to school by riding, walking or scooting?
Please encourage your child to ride, scoot or walk to school this Friday 22 March. A staff member from the office of Tim Watts MP, will come by Friday morning to hand out certificates, free fruit and talk with our school community about ways we can work together to get more of our students riding to school.

Dear Parents / Guardians
World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated on 21st March each year.
The ‘Lots of Socks’ theme was created by Down Syndrome International to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. On this day, we ask that your child wear socks of their choice to school. They can be bright, colourful, short or long, two different socks, the choice is endless!
During the day grades will be discussing what makes us all unique as well as talking about inclusion and how we can all help each other to feel included.

Lost Property
Dear Families,
This is a note regarding your child’s lost property. Each week any named items will be returned to your child from lost property. It is important to clearly label all items of clothing and personal belongings such as drink bottles and lunchboxes.
Any item that is not named will be placed in a tub outside the grades of Miss Nikki and Mrs Mantello next to the netball court after school on a Thursday and Friday at 3:20-3:40pm. During the school day the basket will be placed back inside (near these classrooms) and lost property is only to be collected from this area before and after school with adult supervision. Children are asked not to go through it during the day.
Visits from ex-students
We love to welcome back ex-students to Altona Primary School, and have a few guidelines to ensure the visits work well for all concerned.
Returning Students are asked to:
- pre-arrange their visit with individual teachers
- Sign in at the general office on arrival and sign out on departure
- Not use mobile phones whilst on the premises.
- Not leave the school grounds without signing out.
- Follow the school rules and enjoy their time visiting Altona Primary School
All students are welcome to attend the school from 8:45am until 11:15am. Children who have not pre-arranged their visit will not be able to attend on that day.
