Primary – Morning Plan

Can all integrators/Mandarin teachers be available in The Centre Lobby this morning from 7.40am to support students in finding their classrooms. We will have class lists printed and available for reference.

EY teachers – please organise amongst yourselves who will meet children out front and who will remain in the campfires.

Thanks!

Primary Pick Up

Lists for student pick up arrangements can be found here. We have several parents update the form since these results were collated. Zoe will update the form throughout the day. We will also distribute a bus list to HR teachers today. Assume that students we do not yet have pick-up information for will be picked up in the classroom. Any students who are not picked up by 3.15, please send to the Primary Office (C128).  G3-5 students cannot leave campus without an adult unless parents have completed the form indicating they have permission to do so.

Tech Guide (For new and returning staff)

In a bid to make the transition to NIS as smooth as possible, a Tech Guide for New Staff has been created and distributed.

It covers a wide range of tech topics including, Laptop Support Basics, Essential Bookmarks, Key Smartphone Apps, NIS Tech Policies, WeChat Groups and many many others.

The Tech Guide comes in the form of a 45 page Interactive Presentation and can be found here.  It works best when downloaded and opened locally on your laptop, as it will then open in full screen presentation view.

If there are any additions or changes that you feel may further assist staff in their transition to NIS, please let me know.

Cheers,  Ken.
