How do I get information to my Primary School child about changed afternoon arrangements?

Please send changed afternoon arrangements to: primaryoffice@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

The cut off time for emailing messages regarding afternoon arrangements is 2.30 pm. 

Unfortunately, we aren’t unable to confirm receipt of messages to children, but we assure you, these will be passed on if we receive them by 2.30 pm.

How do I fill out a permission note for excursions?

Parents will be emailed permission notes for school excursions. If a student believes he/she is to be attending a school excursion on a particular day, there will be a note in Edumate regarding that event. If there is no note, it is not a school excursion. This is the case for all excursions, regardless of the time of day or day of the week.

How do I order from the Canteen and what’s on the menu?

The menu at our canteen changes seasonally, offering healthy snack, recess and lunch options.

Ordering and menu options are available through Flexischools.

A reminder for Primary parents that birthday cakes need to be ordered a week in advance and this can be done via email .
