Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the
Inter-high Athletics Carnival. A special shout out to Alicia for
breaking the NHSSA Grade 7 girls triple jump with a jump of 10m20.
It was also excellent to see all of the parents who came to
support. We came fourth overall. Well done, Prospect!

ANNUAL VALIDATION OF STUDENT PERSONAL INFORMATION Schools are
required to advise parents/guardians of the information which is
held in their records for students and to ensure information is
current. To do this, schools request families to update annually
recorded information on the students currently enrolled in the
school.
The validation process ensures that details are accurate.
Information about addresses, family relationships, contact details
and medical conditions can become out of date. As schools have a
duty of care to their students, it is vital that this information
is accurate.
The Validation Form also includes information about parents and
students, permissions for minor excursions, and publication of
student photographs and work are also covered.
Evidence of identity and immunisation: if a student’s name has
been changed this must be updated on the validation form, evidence
of identity or documentation supporting the name change must be
provided.
Checklist:Emergency contacts (only those listed in the emergency
contact section are permitted to collect students from
school).Publication, printing and excursion permissions.
The Admin team wish you a joyous and restful holiday season/
