How to Train Up a Child

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

RCC Mobile Number

Please note that the RCC Mobile number is no longer in service.

Please call the school office number 02 6686 7847 for all enquiries.

STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP

RCC Student Pickup

We have noticed some families parking outside of the school on Gallans Road and walking across through the bus entry lane to access school or return to their cars. 

The bus entry lane is a very dangerous place to walk through and is not designed for pedestrian access. Please do not use this lane for pedestrian access.  

Furthermore, please also only use the pedestrian crossing to access the middle parking bays on school premises to ensure the safety of all our community members at this time. 

Additionally, please be aware Gallans Road in front of the school is a No Stopping Zone and it is illegal to park on the side of the road. Please use the spaces inside the school should you wish to leave your car and collect your children. 

A staff member will be present during pickup for the next few weeks to remind our community of the importance of adhering to these expectations.  

RCC Early Morning Supervision 

RCC morning supervision does not commence until 8.05am. Prior to this time there is no supervision nor care provided for students on premises. Please do not drop your children off before this time.

At 8.05am supervision is limited to the Junior School COLA. Students who arrive between 8.05am and 8.30am are expected to remain in this area only. 

Should you have any questions regarding this, please contact the school office.

RCC Prayer Group

Too Busy To Pray?

Martin Luther was one busy fellow. He wrote many catechisms, thesis, started a reformation, wrote hymns, and translated Scriptures. Amidst all this, he proclaimed "I have so much to do today that I'm going to need to spend three hours in prayer in order to be able to get it all done".  

Parents and friends of RCC are invited to gather for prayer each Monday at 2pm.  This will be an opportunity to intercede for our children, teachers, staff, and wider school community together as followers of Jesus.  All welcome!

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."  Hebrews 4:16
