Plattsburg Public School Newsletter

During this week's assembly Miss Rebecca discussed road safety and how to  safely use our school exits correctly. 

Thank you Plattsy parents/carers for your response to the new functions in the Sentral for Parent platform. We have received permissions and payments instantly and appreciate your patience with the initial teething problems. What a time saver/paper saver!

If you have any trouble accessing the portal, please do not hesitate to contact us at the office, through our Facbook Page messenger or email. If you do not wish to download the app, Sentral permission and payments will send an email to you with a link that will enable you answer permissions and payments. We still use www.quickcliq.com.au for Canteen/Uniform orders and Audiri (formally Skoolbag) for urgent alerts.

Opportunity classes are just one of the ways that we support our high potential and gifted students. The classes are offered in Years 5 and 6, with parents/carers applying when their child is in Year 4.

Opportunity classes provide an environment where students can learn and make friends with classmates of similar abilities. This can benefit students’ academic progress and wellbeing. Opportunity classes are not zoned.
