Compass Communication

Moving forward, the school will gradually be taking greater advantage of the many time saving and efficiency tools on offer through Compass.  As a consequence we will be beginning to communicate some school and cohort Information to parents/carers through this platform in term 4.  The documents that you can expect to find on Compass include:

• The whole school term newsletter
• Your individual children’s term newsletter
• Your individual children’s curriculum newsletter
• Individual excursion, incursion and camp notices
• Cohort notices throughout the term as required

During term 4 this year, you can expect that in most cases you will also receive a paper copy  and there will be either a copy uploaded to the school website

or a brief newsfeed to alert you that you have a cohort notice available on Compass.

Please make an effort to access these on Compass as the school is working towards using this as a major vehicle for communicating curriculum and  teaching /learning information for the future.

Similarly, if you experience any glitches or have any feedback, please let us know at the office so that we can follow up and rectify the problem promptly.

Bottle Tops

In light of the Year 3 Sustainability Unit, Westgrove Primary School has joined a combined initiative with local community groups to recycle 1,000,000 bottle tops. Plastic bottle tops and lids are one of the top polluters of the oceans and environment. The recycled bottle tops will be made into prosthetic hands, disability Aids, STEM training tools and Aged Care gadgets. Please help us to collect and recycle bottle tops by checking the bottle top for Code 2 and placing the tops in the collection box in the office.
