"Music Count Us In"

MCUI is a yearly celebration of music throughout Australia. The official date is Thursday 5 November, however we won't be able to celebrate this day in the same way we have previously. Unfortunately children are not permitted to gather together and sing.   However, in their music sessions, students have all been listening to the 2020 song: "You Won't Bring Us Down".   We have discussed its message of resilience in this very challenging year, compared its style to the indigenous version, accompanied on tuned percussion and also learnt the Auslan actions for the chorus.

Online ordering for Uniform Shop and Canteen lunches

Don't forget to sign up for a QuickCliq account. 

It's also critical that you select the right lunch break for your child, don't just leave it defaulted for Prep-2!  Antoinette's life is made much easier when the student's order is 'booked' for the correct lunchbreak.  With current staggered lunch breaks, she is now able to have meals freshly made and hot at just the right time, for both junior and senior breaks.

Be Sun Smart

A reminder that QoP has a 'No Hat, No Play' policy in force in Terms 1 and 4.  All children and staff members must wear a hat when outside. CLICK HERE to read the Uniform Policy or refer to the 2020 INFORMATION BOOKLET. The summer uniform should be worn during Term 1 and 4 however, we do suggest to parents that their children may wear the uniform which is most comfortable and appropriate to the weather on a given day.

Tips for Packing a Healthy Lunchbox

Please SLOW DOWN in the Car Park

Please, could parents slow down in our school car park. A reminder that the speed limit is 5 km per hour, this is walking pace. Cars are whizzing around corners and speeding off after letting children out of cars. Please take care so that everyone stays safe.
