In 2011 we implemented the School-Links communication system to email our newsletter to parents and advise of important notifications. We also used it to book parent/teacher meeting times. In response to parent feedback, we will be further utilising the School-Links system to keep you informed of parent groups/sports teams registration information, details, updates, etc. We shall continue using the School-Links system to email out fortnightly newsletters and advise of important notices/reminders. Please note that just by joining the sports groups this does not automatically register you for the actual sports team. We will have the information available, however the School-Links system is a communication tool only and requires you to be actively involved in registering and joining groups.
Sports Uniforms For those students representing Albany Primary School in teams, a sports shirt ($30) and shorts ($20), or netball dress ($60) - dependent upon sport, is required. These are available from the uniform shop Uniform shop hours Tuesday: 2.30pm – 3.00pm Thursday: 8.30am – 9.00am Secondhand uniforms We do not buy back sports uniforms. We do have a small amount of second hand netball dresses (small sizes) that we will sell off at $20. If parents would like to on-sell their own second hand sports uniforms, you may like to put a notice up on the community noticeboard. Please see Jan in the office for more information.
