A Message from Ruth
During the week the Year 2/ 3 and 3/4 students recently enjoyed a special visit to Summerhill (local aged-care community) as part of our focus on being caring and community-minded. Students had the opportunity to spend time with residents, sharing conversations, smiles and songs. The visit was a wonderful way for our students to practise kindness, respect and empathy while building connections with members of our wider Uraidla community. It was lovely to see students engaging so positively and confidently. We are very proud of the way they represented our school and demonstrated that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Time for holidays so enjoy the school break and I look forward to connecting with you next term.

Uraidla Primary Facebook Group
If you haven’t already heard about it, there is a Facebook group for UPS families, and we welcome everyone to join (parents/grandparents/carers all welcome). Look for “Uraidla Primary School Families” and answer the 3 simple questions on your connection to the school. This group is a friendly way to find the answers for those questions you may have (e.g. when your child tells you at the last minute its casual day tomorrow, and you can’t remember hearing about it from school!), to get reminders on events coming up, find your lost property!, or a way to connect with other families.
It is not run by the school but is supported by the UPS Governing Council, and parent admin (Jodi Braley) will post information regularly. It is designed to be a group with input from all – so contribute in any way you want to. If you do have a question that you don’t want to post yourself, feel free to forward to Jodi (either by Facebook message, email jodi.braley@hotmail.com, or in person at school), who is more than happy to help.
Enrolment in Reception
If you have a child turning 5 in the next 12 months, they should have already enrolled or registered their interest to start school. Children either start school at the start of the year or in July, depending on their age.
Please note that the kindy and school zones are not the same. Enrolment in the Uraidla and Hills Community Preschool does not automatically mean you will have access to enrolment at Uraidla Primary School. Please contact our front office for clarification.
Our school has now reached capacity, which means that we give priority enrolment to children in our catchment area. Please note that younger siblings of existing students are guaranteed enrolment.
If you are speaking to other families about enrolling in school, they can find their local school through the Find My School website: Find a school zone or preschool catchment area (education.sa.gov.au)
Enrolments for the start of 2027 are now overdue, and we hope to have enrolments for the mid-year 2027 intake finalised by February. Please contact the front office for a registration of interest form today!
If you are still unsure or interested in booking a school tour, please contact the office on 8390 3209.
