Enrolment
To enrol your child at Woodroffe Primary/Preschool please contact the school and have a copy of your child’s immunisation records and birth certificate ready to supply with the enrolment form.
Absences
Parents / carers are encouraged to notify the school if your child is unwell either via our School Star app, by telephoning the office or emailing woodroffe.ps@education.nt.gov.au
If a student is absent from school an un-notified SMS message will be sent to the first contact on our School Administrative System notifying families of the absence and requesting the reason for the absence. Student absences can be notified by text to 0418 125 029. Please note this number is a computer program, not a phone and can only send and receive texts.
Arriving at School Late
If a student arrives after 8:15am they are classed as being late, students must report to the front office to obtain a late note.
Please try your best to limit absences and late arrivals as your child will miss valuable learning time.
Sport Houses
Woodroffe Primary School has three houses - Bilawarra, Banimadla and Milulula. On enrolment, students and staff are allocated in family groups to one of the three sports houses.
Captains and Vice-Captains are elected at the beginning of each year and are responsible for leading their houses during friendly house competitions.
These students are also role models within our school and are expected to demonstrate the same high level of behaviour as the SRC.
