THE FIRST YEAR

Communication

TAS has an open communication policy with parents and family members. There are plenty of opportunities for both formal and informal parent-teacher meetings, including student-led conferences. Each class also utilises See-Saw, a platform that allows teachers to share class work with families including photos of their child day.

Uniform

TAS students are required to wear a uniform. This can be purchased from the TAS Uniform Shop at White Rock Campus or Kewarra Beach Reception. Please visit the tas website for opening hours.

Parent Hub

TAS Parent Hub offers a streamlined location and single sign-on access to all parent platforms, including TASS Parent Lounge, Learning Analytics, whole school/ campus calendars and notices, plus other important information like the TAS Cyber Safety Hub, Uniform Guides and TAS publications.

Excursions And Incursions

Special activities that complement learning are organised for students throughout the year. Occasionally, children will be taken to places of interest and your voluntary supervision will be sought.

FOOD, WATER AND TUCK SHOP

It is recommended that you provide a variety of small snacks instead of 1 or 2 large items. Please provide a water bottle every day and encourage your child to use it. Prep students can receive orders from the Tuck Shop. Parents can place orders online through the FlexiSchools online system. Ordering procedures may vary at each campus.

Medical Protocols

All prescription and over-the-counter medications with a signed permission form are to be provided to and administered by Reception. All school staff are trained to administer first-aid at the school for incidents of a minor nature. Should a serious illness or accident occur, parents will be contacted and, if necessary, emergency services. Parents are expected to keep the school informed of emergency contact numbers and other medical information.

OUTSIDE-SCHOOL HOURS-CARE (OSHC)

OSHC and vacation Care is available at both campuses. Please visit the tas website for more information, fees and opening hours.

Absence

Parents and guardians should notify Reception if your child if absent, late or needs to leave school at any time.
