Principal Awards
While all students will be back on site on Friday, parents must still remain off site with the exception of going to the school office for business that cannot be done remotely. We are hoping to receive an updated Operations Guide shortly. I will communicate any eased restrictions to our […]
COVID-Linked Requirements
Our newly relaunched Parents and Friends Group has run a couple of events recently. On Saturday a group of parents and staff ran the Bunnings Saturday BBQ at the Leopold store. With interruptions from COVID this was our third attempt to hold the event. We raised a total of $1612.30 […]
Parents and Friends
We are delighted to share the news that the Victorian Government is continuing the Tutor Learning Initiative (TLI) in 2022. This initiative is designed to address the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning and engagement in Victoria. The extension of the initiative will allow Drysdale Primary to […]
Tutor Learning Initiative to continue at Drysdale Primary in 2022
Drysdale Primary will be closed on Monday October 25th for our fourth and final pupil free day of 2021. This was a good choice in terms of minimizing disruption to parents when it was arranged as it came before the return to school. Now it isn’t, but is too late […]
School Closure – Pupil Free Day, Monday October 25th
The school’s market ran as planned last Sunday morning. There were nearly 100 stalls as well as strong community support making this a very successful start to the market season. I must acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Jac Absolom, our market coordinator, who has grown the market consistently […]
Drysdale Community Market
All students will finally be back in their classrooms on Friday of this week. This is a couple of days earlier than previously announced as a result of the acceleration of the Road Map. We are very much looking forward to this next step in returning to a more normal […]
COVID Update – school dates
Most of our community has caught up with the news that FlexiBuzz has ceased offering its services to schools and that we are now using Sentral’s Parent App. This App links everyone directly to the Sentral Parent Portal and its messaging function. This streamlines the communication option between home and […]
Sentral Parent App
Schools are reminded that the Department of Education and Training (DET) does not provide personal accident insurance for students. Parents and guardians are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including any transport costs. Student accident insurance policies are available from some commercial insurers. These cover […]
Please note the following message from DET:
We are excited to announce that Sentral have released an updated version of their Parent App. Using Sentral makes our communication much more streamlined and achieves our goal of using as few systems as possible (the fewer user names and passwords to remember the better!). Staff will be receiving some […]
New Parent App
At Drysdale Primary we have had a strong focus on well-being for many years and care deeply about the safety of the children. This commitment was backed in 2015 by the appointment of a second Assistant Principal to lead and manage the number of programs which together offer a comprehensive […]
Well-Being Programs
A reminder to our community that schools are dog free areas while students are present (8:30am to 4:00pm) during the week. This includes small dogs that are being carried.
Dogs at School
Please can I remind parents that the school’s car parks are for staff use and blue disabled badge holders use only. With so many children and parents walking along Clifton Springs Road to access the school through the pedestrian entrances, it is too dangerous for cars to be entering and […]
