Adequate resourcing of students and families is essential in our context. Everyone needs the suitable materials required to learn.
Maintenance costs are costly, and worse still, any repairs needed mean that you or any other student will be without that resource for a lengthy period.
PLEASE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF ALL SCHOOL RESOURCES
Some of the resources the school provides are:
- Notebook (Laptop):
The notebook supplied by the school comes with Windows 10. All computers are loaded with Office and other software to improve the child’s learning. Office 365 can find this app on the desktop of the notebook. The Department of Education also provides Internet and email. Clear is satellite-based; therefore, families are supplied with an installed satellite dish and modem dedicated to this purpose. If you are having technical difficulties, ring Clear on 1300 855 215.
- Email:
All staff and students across the school have an email from the Department of Education. In many cases, this is being used very regularly by students and their tutors. We recommend using this email because, in some circumstances, online resources are only available within the education domain (@education.wa.edu.au). Unfortunately, other domains (@gmail.com / @outlook.com / @yahoo.com) will not have access to all the online resources.
If you don’t remember your child’s education email (@education.wa.edu.au), don’t hesitate to contact us by email or telephone.
- Sports Kit:
The school has developed a Physical Education program suitable for use across our school community. A Physical Education file and a sports kit that contains much valuable equipment are supplied to enable students to develop their skills in this area.
Each kit is worth a considerable amount of money. Therefore families are requested to ensure that the equipment is properly stored and used. If you did not receive one of these kits for any reason, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school so that one can be organised for you.
- Maths Box:
Mathematics kits are created according to student levels. This includes different tools that will help to understand better mathematics. Families can make use of these materials at any time.
- Library:
The school’s library contains a wide variety of books available for loan. After the initial set of books is sent to students, staff will send out texts to their students as they receive back those previously borrowed. If you have a specific request, e.g. a particular series of novels or interest area, don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Families also can check our collection in our online library.
- Games Boxes:
Large plastic tubs have been filled with games and puzzles for junior students. These are available for students in Kindergarten, Pre Primary and Year 1. Due to the size of these boxes, we generally ask that you either pick them up when you are in town or request one to be delivered during a teacher visit. Please swap your old box for the new package rather than keeping the two; otherwise, we will run short for the other families.
Tutors are required to check the box’s contents when it arrives and ensure that it is complete when it is returned or let us know if something gets broken.
Jigsaw, puzzles, etc., must be individually checked to ensure that all pieces are present. Tape a note to the box informing the school of any damage or loss so that the box contents can be reviewed before it is sent out again.
- Table Games:
Any family can request it, and these have to be returned with all the pieces. Please tape a note to the box informing the school of any damage or loss so that it can be reviewed before it is sent out again.
- Stationery Kit:
Provided at the beginning of the year.
- Art Kit:
This includes paint, brushes and a palette. It is provided at the beginning of the year. If you need more colour or any other items, please get in touch with the school.
- Music Box:
Music instruments are included in this box for use in classes on Fridays and for making music at other times.
- Others:
If there is any special request the school is capable of fulfilling, it will, e.g. telescopes, coding robots, iPads etc. Please let us know if you have any suggestions.
