This week in Primary, our memory verse is Ephesians 4:32:
“Be kind to one another.”

We have been exploring what kindness looks like in our everyday lives. In the classroom, kindness is helping someone who is stuck, listening when others are speaking, encouraging a classmate, and contributing positively in group work. In the playground, it’s inviting others to join in, playing fairly, using kind words, and noticing when someone may be feeling left out. At home, kindness can look like helping without being asked, speaking respectfully, caring for siblings, and showing love through small, thoughtful actions.

When we choose kindness in each of these spaces, we are putting God’s love into action in practical and meaningful ways.

Encouraging conversation at home:
You might like to ask your child:

• What did kindness look like at school today?
• Was there a time you showed kindness to someone?
• Did someone show kindness to you?
• How can we practise kindness together at home this week?

We also look forward to connecting with you at Fellowship Friday. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see kindness and community in action as we strengthen the partnership between home and school.

Afternoon Pick-Up Procedures and Designated Areas

We would like to reinforce the importance of all students going to their designated pick-up area each afternoon — even if they are being collected after 3:15 pm. This ensures students are adequately supervised and accounted for at all times.

Having students in their allocated zones also helps us manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and maintain safe supervision practices across the College.

Please ensure you are collecting your children from the designated pick-up zone allocated to your family. Families are assigned a zone based on the year level of the youngest student. Details are outlined below:

• Blue Pick Up – Families with a Prep student: all students are collected in the Blue (Prep) pick-up zone.
• Orange Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Years 1–3: all students are picked up in the Orange zone on the ring road at D Block.
  • Important: For the Year 1–3 Orange pick-up area, please stop at the boom gate upon arrival. The gate will open at 2:55 pm to commence pick-up.
• Green Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Years 4–6: all students picked up in the Green zone outside the Early Learning Centre (straight through the roundabout).
• Yellow Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Secondary: all students picked up in the Yellow zone at the bottom of the ring road.

Please refer to the attached drop-off and pick-up map for further clarification.

Thank you for helping us by reminding your children of the appropriate place to wait each afternoon. Your cooperation ensures a safe, smooth, and well-supervised end to the school day for everyone.

If you have any questions regarding afternoon pick-up routines or which zone you are allocated to, please do not hesitate to contact Administration or your child’s classroom teacher.
