First Aid and Sick Bay
At this time of year there are a number of children with coughs, colds and stomach bugs etc. If you
suspect your child is sick in the morning please do not send them to school as they spread the virus to
staff and other students. Our sick bay is not able to cope with overwhelming numbers of children who
need to rest or sleep, this area is allocated for first aid only.
Preschool Enrolments for 2015
Preschool enrolments have commenced for 2015, online enrolments are being accepted this term. Birth certificates
and immunisation records will need to be sighted/copied as supporting documents to your application for
enrolment. Proof of residency is also required for all enrolments in and out of area. Letters of placement offers will
be sent home by the end of term. All students who live in the priority enrolment area or have siblings already
attending this school are guaranteed a placement.
Preschool sessions for 2015 are as follows: Monday, Tuesday (9am-3pm), Wednesday (9am-12noon)
Wednesday (9am-12noon), Thursday, Friday (9am-3pm)
A third session may be offered depending on the number of enrolments received.
Canteen News
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to keeping our canteen open. Please continue to donate
ingredients and be aware that a board outside the front office displays products required. This is updated on a
weekly basis. Also, be reminded that the canteen is closed on Mondays.
Sibling Photos
As a fundraiser for the school, The Portrait Gallery has taken sibling photos again this year and they are available
from the front office for $5.00
Chaplains Corner
Now that the weather is beginning to cool down, we expect that even more students will visit Breakfast Club on
Fridays. Breakfast Club is for everyone. Some students have cereal at home and come in to have toast and milo.
Others choose to stay in bed a little longer on Fridays and have their full breakfast at school. Still others (who are
perhaps related to hobbits?), have a second breakfast at school.
We are fortunate to have our bread for toast, cereal and milk all donated to the school. We particularly wish to
thank Brother’s Oven at Homeworld which often donates croissants as well as bread. Breakfast Club is at 8.30am on
Fridays and finishes just before 9.00am. It is easier for the volunteers at Breakfast Club if we don’t have a big rush of
customers right when the bell is about to go, so please encourage your children to get to school in time to eat their
breakfast. Remember all students are welcome at Breakfast Club.
