The PP to Yr 6 students have been walking over to do swimming lessons at Leisureplex for the last two weeks.
They have all been having a great time and representing the college in a positive and respectful manner.

Arriving on Time
School begins at 8:40am every day during term time. The College has a school-wide standardized lesson structure that is used to introduce new learning. The beginning of lessons is a time that the purpose of the learning is explained along with how and why the students will be engaging in the learning. The first lesson of the day is of critical importance in primary classes where highly structured literacy lessons are delivered every morning. Students that arrive late to class will miss this key part of the lesson and will then struggle to join in with what is going on. The interruption created by the late entry to the room also distracts the teacher and other students. Parents are asked to ensure that children arrive at school early enough so that lessons can begin at 8:40am.
Picking up Students
Our College finishes at 2:50pm every day except Wednesday when our finishing time is 2:35pm. Please ensure that the pick-up of students is made promptly at this time. In the event of a delay, we ask that you contact the College to inform the staff of the delay. This prevents students from becoming anxious and a lot of time being used by staff trying to make contact.
Food Allergies
At Cannington Community College we have a number of students with life threatening food allergies, particularly peanut/nut, eggs.
What does this mean for these students?
Even a small trace of nut, peanut, nut/peanut or egg product may trigger a severe allergic reaction called Anaphylaxis, which attacks the immune system leading potentially to death within minutes.
This reaction can happen by taste, touch and sometimes can be airborne. All of these students have access to an adrenaline injection in the form of an Epipen, which can save lives.
Cannington CC works with parents/carers to support students in developing an awareness of their allergies and what foods to avoid. Students are encouraged not to share food and to always check with a parent/adult/teacher if unsure at any time.
How can you help to keep CCC students with allergies safe?
Please help us by not including peanut or any nut products in your child's lunchbox if possible. This includes peanut butter and Nutella. Please avoid products with any nuts/peanuts listed as an ingredient.
Look for alternatives such as the delicious and moist Scooby Doo Chocolate Mud Spread and others that are available in the Health Food Section at the supermarket.
Please consider what you are sending for birthday treats to share with the class, checking there are no nut products included.
Explain about food allergy to your child and encourage the ‘no food sharing' rule.
The school canteen does not serve products containing peanut/nuts.
Thank you for your support.
