Open Night Term 1 – THIS Wednesday 4-6 pm!
WHAT: WHOLE SCHOOL OPEN NIGHT
WHEN: WEDNESDAY 28TH MARCH, 4-6PM
WHERE: YOUR CHILDREN’S CLASSROOMS
This is a wonderful time for you and your family to:
- POP IN AND TAKE A SPIN AROUND THE ROOM, HOSTED BY YOUR CHILD!
- VIEW SOME WORK SAMPLES!
- JOIN IN A COUPLE OF PRACTICAL ‘HANDS ON’ LEARNING TASKS!
Please note that this is not time to bail up the teacher to talk about an individual student’s progress. This discussion is better left to a private Two-Way meeting time.
Please be sure to thank your teacher and to keep an eye on younger siblings.
Thanks for your ongoing support of your child’s learning – your presence and encouragement of your child at a night such as this goes a long way to keeping motivation high.
SAVE THE DATE Open Night Wed 28th March
Hi Everyone!
We are really looking forward to seeing you at our first whole school OPEN NIGHT for the school year, on Wednesday the 28th March from 4-6pm!
As you will be aware, the Open Night is simply an opportunity for parents to visit classrooms with children and to take a peek at some of the great learning opportunities that they have been engaged in.
Each child will be encouraged to act as host ie they will escort you to different locations around the room and explain to you what the learning activity was, what was involved, what they enjoyed or what they found challenging.
The main purpose of the evening is to give families a chance to celebrate the learning efforts of their children. Encouragement is motivating and really goes a long way, so please look for ways you can praise and encourage your children’s efforts, while also discussing their new goals
Once again we are indebted to our hard working and generous staff for their willingness to support these wonderful opportunities for families. .
See you soon!

2018 Reminder–Drive through and Pick up of Students
A few reminders about procedures for dropping off and picking up your children here at St Emilie’s.
- Please give way to cars at the crosswalk so Amherst Road can be cleared as much as possible of traffic. In the afternoon there is a teacher on duty to facilitate this.
- When dropping off/picking up children, drive through as far as possible. Do not stop in front of the administration building if there is space in front of you to drive forward.
- Please do not enter through the gate near the Church or the gate on Philadelphia Parade as these are exit gates only.
- Only cross at the crosswalk, there are a number of families crossing in front of where the staff park their cars.
- When being dropped off and picked up, children should only exit/enter their cars on the left hand side of the car, school bags should not be in the boots of cars. If your child is unable to do up their seat belt independently, please do not use drive through.
- Do not park on the footpaths at any time.
