Primary Children – Pick Up Survey Results

We are collating the Primary Pick Up survey results and will publish them, along with bus lists, to home room teachers today. We will have some parents who have not replied. Assume these children are “classroom pick up” unless a parent informs you otherwise. Please pay extra attention to all new students, including in the upper grades, and ensure they are met by a carer or find their bus. Any child not picked up by 3.15 can be sent to the Primary Office.

Child Protection Training & Quiz

Hi Everyone,

As mentioned in the Morning Briefing, we are introducing a new asynchronous format for this year’s Child Protection & Safeguarding Basics Training. This training is an annual requirement for our accreditation and ensures that all staff are informed and equipped to uphold our child safeguarding responsibilities. The new format provides greater flexibility and personalization to support your learning.

Below are the resources you’ll need to review key information about child protection & safeguarding for this year:

After reviewing the materials, please complete the Child Protection and Safeguarding – Basics Training Quiz. To meet the requirements, you must achieve a passing grade of 100%. The quiz can be retaken as many times as needed to reach this score. Please ensure that the quiz is completed by August 31, 2025.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to Scott, Zhang Bo, or Sandra.

Thank you for your commitment to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for our students.
