Welcome back to all of our families and especially to our new families, we hope the new year is going well. Lots going on in finance at the moment. Resource scheme invoices have been emailed, as have Year 6 camp invoices. For students in Years 1,2, 4 and 6 swimming invoices will also be coming out soon, please keep an eye out for them. Swimming has been kindly subsidised this year by our fantastic P and C to help keep costs down, we thank them very much for their support of our students.

Student Resource Scheme Invoices (SRS)

Invoices were emailed out to all families that we had signed agreement forms for. If you have not yet received an invoice for the Student Resource Scheme, please let us know. Some have been hiding in people’s Junk folders, so have a look there if you believe you should have received one by now. SRS forms are available in the office if you don’t think you have signed one as yet. The due date for all SRS, Consumables Student Resource Scheme (CSRS) is Thursday 20 February.

Invoices for Instrumental and Strings students have also been sent out to those we have forms for. If your student is participating in a music program this year and you have not yet returned your form, please drop it in to the office ASAP as instruments will start to be handed out in the coming weeks.

Passwords for student online programs used both in the classroom and at home, will be issued by class teachers. Please put this in a safe place to refer to any time. Passwords will be issued only to students who have commenced payments of their SRS.

Payment Plans

We realise that the start of the year can cause some financial hardship to families, so payment plans are available to help make this a bit less stressful. Payment plan applications, as well as Centrelink Deduction Authority forms are available for anyone wishing to make payments this way. Please call the office and we will send one to you, or you can download them from our school website to fill in and return.

Casual Cleaners wanted

We are looking to increase our pool of casual cleaners we can call on if our regular cleaners are away. If you or any one you know has cleaning experience or is interested to learn on the job and is able to work from 5am to 8am of a morning and/or 2pm till 6pm of an afternoon, please email your resume to me at BSM@rochedalesouthss.eq.edu.au including your availabilities, experience and references for consideration.
