Daily Timetable

Reading Programme

The Gawura reading programme runs every day from 8am, Students are asked to read for 10 to 15 minutes with a volunteer when they arrive at school, before they go to roof for play. The programme is on every day for the week from 8am to 8.30am in the Gawura Open Area on Level 7. The Gawura reading programme is run with the support of volunteers from local companies and SACS parents who give up their time to help our students with their literacy. Gawura’s reading programme is one of the reasons for our students’ strong academic results, especially in writing and comprehension.

Homework Club Years 3-6

Homework Club for our Year 3-6 students can be booked via Clipboard through the Parent Portal. Although there is an $90 cost per term, our Gawura students and their families are able to receive this for free. Instructions for using Clipboard and booking Junior School and Gawura co-curricular activities, including Homework Club, can be found here.

Homework Club operates two days per week, however, only Year 5-6 students can book both days. Year 3-4 can book one day per week. Bookings are made during a period of five days, towards the end of the previous term, and parents are emailed to advise when bookings open and close. We ask that you book early to ensure your child’s place in the group. If you need assistance in completing the booking form, please email: jscocurricular@sacs.nsw.edu.au

Lunch (canteen/emergency lunches)

If your child has no lunch on a certain day, we can arrange an Emergency Lunch order for your child through our school canteen. It is usually something like a ham and cheese toastie with some pieces of fruit. Please notify your child’s teacher or Mr John Ralph who will arrange this for you.
