Dear Parents and Caregivers

It was a pleasure to be joined by our local Moreton Bay Regional Councillor, Cr Darren Grimwade  as our school leaders were officially inducted into their respective

roles last Monday 17 February.  Our inductees were joined by their parents shortly afterwards for a special morning tea in their honour.  A big thank you is extended to our P&C and parent volunteers for the wonderful morning tea.

P&C AGM –Monday 9 March

The P&C Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 9 March  at 6.30pm in the school staffroom. This is a wonderful opportunity for our new families to become involved in our great school and be part of the decision making process. All are welcome to attend. 

Prep Information – 2021

We are already receiving enquiries about our Prep program for 2021. We are pleased to provide information and enrolment information anytime at our school office. However, I am able to advise that our Prep Information and Enrolment Morning will be held on Wednesday 19 August at 9.30am in our School Hall.  This will be followed up with Prep interviews for all newly enrolled students from 19-23 October and a Prep Orientation Day on Tuesday 10 November.

If you have a child born between 1 July 2015 – 30 June 2016, he/she is eligible for Prep enrolment at Dayboro State School in 2021. Please note that Dayboro State School has an Enrolment Management Plan in place – please check at http://education.qld.gov.au/schools/catchment/ for further information.

I would be pleased if this information could be circulated to people who are known to you and are wishing to enrol in our Prep program in 2021.

Parent Information Session Thanks

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the Parent Information Sessions. They were certainly very well attended and provided the reinforcement of the importance of the link between the teacher, parent and the student. If at any time throughout the term there is anything relating to your child’s education which needs to be discussed, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with the teacher to ensure that adequate time is set aside. Teachers will also be offering formal Parent Teacher Interviews from Monday 23 March to Friday 3 April.

Before School Procedures

Students at Dayboro are encouraged to arrive after 8.15am in the morning and are required to assemble in the CSA where supervision is provided until the school bell at 8.40am. This policy ensures that all students are safe and assists if an emergency situation arises at the school.  Students arriving at school after 8.50am are required to attend the school office to obtain a ‘late slip’ for presentation to the class teacher.

Our school says 'Bullying. No Way!' on the National Day of Action

On Friday 27 March, our school will be taking a stand together on the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. 

The National Day is an annual event for Australian schools where school communities across the nation stand as one against bullying and violence.
Dayboro State School is dedicated to creating safe and supportive school environments, free from bullying, harassment and violence.

Together, we can send clear messages to young people that bullying and violence, in or outside the classroom, are not okay at any time.

Our School is planning an “Orange Day” on Friday 27 March. We are inviting all our students and school community to wear something Orange to signify the importance of this day.

We will keep you informed about our plans and activities to celebrate the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on Friday 27 March. Please note the date in your diaries.
