Welcome to White Rock State School

On behalf of the entire White Rock School community I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our school.

Whether your child is a new enrolment or has been a student of the school for some time we trust that the information contained on our website will give you information and advice about the policies and procedures followed at our school.

You are an important part of your child's education and your support will make a positive difference to your child's formal education.   You could assist in this role by :

• Setting aside quality time each day to talk to your child about school, friends, likes/dislikes, etc.
• Encouraging, praising, supporting and reprimanding as the occasion demands;
• Checking his/her school work regularly and letting him/her seet that you are vitally interested in what they are doing at school;
• Keeping in contact with your child's teacher and the school.

We encourage you to be involved in our school and in particular your child's classroom.  If you are able, arrange with your child's teacher to help out in the classroom.  You will enjoy it!   You will see how the class operates and more importantly, your child will benefit.

Please feel free to visit the school to discuss your child's progress with the teachers.   Often concerns and problems can be rectified easily and quickly by taking the time to discuss the matter with the teacher.   The most satisfactory arrangement for both parents and teachers is for a mutually convenient appointment to be made.   By doing this, time can be set aside for fruitful, planned discussion.

If there are any matters of concern regarding some aspect of the school or an issue you wish to find out more about, please feel free to make an appointment through the office or just "drop in" and discuss the matter with either myself or Marco Trovalusci (Deputy Principal).   

The information contained in our Parent Handbook has been listed in alphabetical order and is designed to assist you and your child to settle into school life as smoothly as possible.   Please do not hesitate to contact the school if further clarification is required.

We extend a warm welcome to you.  You are an important member of this school.
