Kiss and Drop 3 – Parents arriving early
So that our YVCS students can be collected safely at 3:00pm, please park in the overflow parking of P2 until students are released from class at 3:15pm. You will notice that several spaces will be Bollarded off for these parents to quickly park and collect their children and access to these spaces need to be left clear. These spaces will be released at 3:15pm
After 3:15pm parents may then leave the overflow parking and join the Kiss and Drop pick up lines.
This assists us in keeping our students safe and allowing the flow of traffic to flow well.
Let’s Recycle some Plastic to create some Art
During Term 3 students are encouraged to collect and bring into school plastic lids for a ‘Recycling’ Art Project. Please wash the lids, remove any white insert and pop the lids directly into the buckets located outside L1 (Primary Science room) Kindy and Lunch eating area.
We will then sort the colours and sizes.
