Financial Assistance for Extracurricular Activities
The Rosary Community Council has established a fund to support students to participate in extracurricular activities where their family may be experiencing financial difficulty. This fund has been established based on the philosophy of giving a Hand Up to these families through providing funds towards participation fees. If you wish to be considered for support through this fund please access the information and application form at (Website link here). The deadline for applications has been extended to 24th May 2023.
The Rosary Council is undertaking master planning for the school grounds. We are interested in hearing yours and your children's ideas about the kinds of spaces and play opportunities you would like to see as part of the school environment.
Please complete this short survey with your children to help the Council in their planning.
Whole Day Absences via Parent Portal
Whole Day Absences
If your child is absent from school for a whole day or longer, please submit details of the absence via the Parent Portal. This should be completed within 7 days of the absence. There is no need to adjust times for whole day absences.
If your child will only be absent for a partial day, the absence will be recorded as your child is signed in or out via the kiosk at the front office. You do not need to add an early pick up or late drop off via the Parent Portal.
Unexplained absences for your child will be displayed on your homepage when you log in to Parent Portal.
If an unexplained absence appears that you believe to be incorrect, please send an email to the front office for investigation.
The school counsellor, is available every Thursday and Friday.
You can refer your child for counselling by contacting the school or filling in a referral form available on Catholic Care’s website or follow this link: https://catholiccare.force.com/housing/s/school-referral-form
After you have filled out the referral form you will automatically be sent an email requesting your consent for your child to access the service. In the case of families where parents are separated, consent of both parents is normally required. If this is difficult for you please feel free to discuss this with the counsellor.
Access to the clothing pool will now be as follows:
Monday - All Day (school hours)
Tuesday - Friday - Before and after school only
Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers who maintain the space for our community.
Please note: All donations of preloved uniforms (in good wearable condition) are welcome at the front office.
Car Park Notice - Rosary Netball Training
Rosary Netball Club will be holding training sessions this term on Monday and Friday afternoons between 3.30pm and 4.30pm on the school netball courts.
To ensure the safety of these students, could parents and carers please be mindful not to leave cars on the courts after this time. If you need to be on the premises after 3.30pm, could you please park in the carpark to the side of the hall or in the gravel car park at the rear of the school.
Thank you for your co-operation.
