Rosary School Holiday Homework
Lottie Dedinas
Parents will be informed, at the beginning of each school year, the homework tasks that will be set for each Year Group and of the amount of time it is expected that children should spend on these tasks per week.

Here at Rosary, we believe that a slim-line approach to homework is the most effective for our families and staff. We therefore do not believe in sending home pages and pages of work for your children to do. Instead, children receive weekly core skills practice tasks; essentially, spelling, number facts, handwriting (at age appropriate levels) and the all important expectation of daily reading and chat.
Core practice of essential skills is what will secure firm foundations. The greatest gift you can give your child is time spent talking and reading and sharing experiences. They then have things to say and to write about; they have opinions to express and arguments to hold. In Year 6, the last year before secondary school and as end of year SAT tests approach, children have guided support with revision at home.
If you're looking for high quality care for your child before and after school hours, we're here to support you. Our programs include a mix of fun and educational activities suitable for children between five and 12 years old.
Your child could get involved in anything from arts and crafts to dancing and drama or sport and ball games. Our friendly and experienced Educators can also help your child with their homework.
We'll provide a nutritious breakfast to set your child up for the day ahead, as well as healthy and delicious afternoon snacks.
We also offer a Pupil Free Day program throughout the school year, depending on booking numbers.
To support our families, we offer permanent and casual booking options. Casual bookings do incur an additional cost.
The table below lists the current daily fees for our Outside School Hours Care services at Holy Rosary Primary School.
Our Before and After School Care programs qualify for the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS). CCS helps eligible families access approved and registered child care providers by partially subsidising the cost of daily fees.
The 'Fee' price listed in the table above is the full permanent or casual daily fee for each program without any CCS entitlements.
*The 'You pay as little as' price is an example of how little you could pay if you qualify for the maximum CCS percentage (90%) as provided by the Federal Government. We've calculated this price to allow for the 5% withheld by Services Australia to reduce the chances of an overpayment.
Learn more about Child Care Subsidy or visit the Services Australia website for more information. We also recommend using this CCS calculator to estimate your new subsidy payments.
A rosary her father had given her before she went into hiding calmed Ms. Ilibagiza considerably. With each grateful clutch of the beautiful beads she suppressed a bubbling bitterness that threatened her carefree spirit.
Three months after Ms. Ilibagiza went into hiding, the vibrant, 115-pound National University of Rwanda engineering student emerged from seclusion weighing a mere 65 pounds. In her weakened state she had yet another high hurdle to climb: learning about and coping with the brutal reality of the murder of members of her immediate family and the massacre of nearly 1 million extended family, friends, neighbors and fellows Rwandans.
After Ms. Ilibagiza emigrated to the United States in 1998 she worked at the United Nations. Since that time she has established a foundation to help others heal from genocide and war. The Left to Tell Charitable Fund relocates Rwandan orphans and helps children of primary school age through college.
Our prayer group is led by Mrs Ferguson and the schools Prayer Ambassadors. A quite, reflective atmosphere is created in the classroom through the use of a focus table,which changes according to the church's seasons and candles. The children have beautiful wooden tactile crosses to hold or rosary beads. As well as praying for the people and animals on the school's prayer request cards, the children learn about different Saints; how to say the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross; learn traditional prayers and write their own prayers. They often do a simple craft to take home to remind them of the focus of the day's session.
If you have any further questions in relation to school times, dates, policies or other general enquiries, please feel free to contact Our Lady of the Rosary Kellyville on 8664 7800 during weekdays between 8:15am and 3:30pm or send us an email.
Arriving after 8:45 am - parents MUST escort their child to the office to collect a Late Pass and sign into the FACES database before going to class. Parents do not accompany their child to the classroom. Please do not drop them off at Kiss & Drop - Park and come in.
Children are not to be dropped off before 8:15 am as this is when the school gates are opened. There is no supervision before this time. We ask all parents to collect their children between 3:00 and 3:15 pm from the carpark pick up.
Regular communication between parents and teachers makes for more effective education for the children. If you would like to organise an appointment with class teachers please contact the school office or email the teacher directly.
Meetings between teachers and parents are arranged at the beginning of Term 1. At the end of Term 2 a semester one report is issued followed by a student led conference. A semester two report is issued in the last weeks of Term 4.
Due to the large number of students in our schoool with Anaphylaxis and other medical conditions we are asking that children ONLY bring in small sealed lolly bags that can be handed out at the end of the school day. This will allow children to take the treats home and parents can decide if these can be consumed.
If your child needs to take medication on either a short term or long term basis, a Medical Authority Form needs to be completed. These may be collected from the School Office. We ask that these forms, together with detailed action plans be returned to school at the commencement of the school year. It is essential that these forms and actions plans are updated annually by your child's doctor so that our records are accurate and reflect the needs of each individual child. Please note, it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their child's medication remains current, ie not expired.
School Policy is that children wear the school navy blue hat for play and sports activities. Please make sure your child has one in his/her bag. Those without hats will sit in a shaded area during both breaks.
In Kindergarten the children will be given no formal written home learning. However during the year the children will have home reading books and sight word sheets. These need to be carried to and from school in a separate plastic folder. Full details regarding home learning will be sent home prior to the commencement of the program.
The Department of Health recommends that children entering school should be immunised. This is particularly important because your child will be coming into contact with many other children and infections can spread very easily.
School requires an immunisation certificate for every enrolled child. Parents obtain these from their local doctor or health centre when their child is immunised. Children enrolling in Years 1-6 need to obtain a copy of the immunisation certificate from their previous school or a new certificate from their current doctor.
Any child for whom the school does not have an immunisation certificate must be excluded from school over any period where cases of infections arise within the school. The Health Department or the school will notify you at the time.
Please help us to save you money. All personal belongings need names: hats, jumpers, both parts of tracksuit, drink bottles, lunch boxes (lid too), school bags and bag flaps, etc. Please check regularly to make sure that the label is still readable as after a few washes the writing is often illegible. Items not clearly marked end up in the Lost Property and every 3 weeks any unmarked clothing is donated to charity.
The school publishes a fortnightly newsletter on the Wednesday of even school weeks. This newsletter is uploaded onto the website and also sent out via the Compass Parent Portal. Compass is our primary parent communication tool for day-to-day operational matters, upcoming events, news, newsletters, notices and notifications so it is essential that all parents download the app.
At Our Lady of the Rosary School we have children who have severe allergies to nuts. While allergic reactions are common and most are not serious, for these children the reaction can be life-threatening. This is called anaphylaxis and can occur in minutes of an exposure to a trigger, in these children's case, nuts.
So as to support our community's effort in this regards we kindly ask that parents do not send snacks for recess or lunch that include Nutella spread, any peanut butter, nut spreads, snack bars and biscuits that contain nuts.
Products having the statement may contain "traces of nuts" are suitable to bring to school. We also ask that you do not include food that contain nuts when providing food for special events such as cake days or morning teas.
