ILLNESS
Recently, the school has had a large number of children come through sick bay who have needed to go home. It is the schools duty of care to all students to send unfit students home. It is important that parents keep sick children at home until they fully recover. This will prevent the continued spread of  illness throughout the school.

LATE ARRIVALS
Please be aware, if your child arrives to school late, they need to be signed in at the school office by a parent and then proceed to their classrooms on their own. Unfortunately, once the bell has gone, parents are unable to accompany their child to the classroom as lessons have begun and this will lead to disruption of student learning. If students are not accompanied into the school office and signed in by a parent the late arrival will be marked as an unexplained partial absence.

ST PAUL'S FACEBOOK PAGE
The school now has a St Paul's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/camden.stpauls/ This Facebook page is administered by the school.
