Uraidla Primary School needs you! 🙏😊
We would love someone to keep an eye on any new grants that may become available (through Grant Guru for example) then liaise with Margie through the application process. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please send Margie an email at margie.sarre187@schools.sa.edu.au
Lost Property
There is a large number of items in our lost property. We ask that you take the time to have a look and claim any of your missing items. There are drink bottles, shoes, containers, purses, toys and plenty of unnamed clothing just to name a few things. Please make sure that all items of clothing returning to school are labelled with your child's name so they can be returned to them if lost. Thank you.

*Life Size Kimochis Show*
Hi all, we are excited to have a Life Size Kimochis show coming to the school on Wednesday Week 10 for the Junior Primary Students! The theme of the show is “Kind and Brave”. In this show we will get to meet Kimochis characters Bug and Cat who will demonstrate what it’s like to have various emotions and how to work through them. Specifically, this show includes:
Bug feeling shy and left out
• putting brave in front
• being kind and including others
• being a feelings detective
Cat being cranky
• using breathing and/or space to shrink hard to have feelings
• having a redo when you make a mistake
• being kind and allowing others a redo
This show is put on by Schools Ministry Group, is free of charge and sponsored by the pastoral care worker support group. It does not contain any religious content. We are super excited, especially as it fits so well with this term’s theme of Brave!
Book Week 2024
Book Week is almost here, and it’s time for students, parents, and families to start preparing for one of the most enchanting events of the school year. This year, Book Week will be celebrated in Week 5 of Term 3, with the captivating theme, "Reading is Magic." It's an excellent opportunity to ignite a love for reading and let children's imaginations soar.
Costume Guidelines: Embrace the Magic of Books
To fully embrace the theme "Reading is Magic," we encourage students to dress up as their favourite characters from books that evoke a sense of wonder, magic, and adventure. Here are a few guidelines and suggestions to help families create magical and memorable costumes:
1. **Stick to Book Characters:**
- Please remember that costumes should represent characters from books. Avoid superhero costumes unless they are from a book (e.g., "Percy Jackson" series, "Harry Potter" series).
2. **Explore Magical Themes:**
- Consider characters from fantasy and adventure genres. Think wizards, fairies, enchanted creatures, and adventurous heroes.
3. **Get Creative and DIY:**
- Homemade costumes can be both fun and cost-effective. Use everyday items to recreate iconic looks. For example, a simple black robe and a stick can transform a child into Harry Potter.
4. **Inspiration Ideas:**
- **"Harry Potter" Series:** Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, or any Hogwarts house member.
- **"Alice in Wonderland":** Alice, the Mad Hatter, or the Cheshire Cat.
- **"The Chronicles of Narnia":** Aslan, Lucy, or the White Witch.
- **"Matilda":** Matilda herself, Miss Honey, or Miss Trunchbull.
- **"The Magic Faraway Tree" Series:** Moonface, Silky the Fairy, or the Saucepan Man.
5. **Comfort and Practicality:**
- Ensure costumes are comfortable and safe for a day at school. Avoid heavy accessories or anything that might obstruct movement or vision.
Let’s make Book Week 2024 a magical experience for everyone. Start planning those spellbinding costumes and get ready to celebrate the wonder and enchantment of reading!
Uniform Ordering
Did you know our school uniforms can now be ordered through Flexi Schools? We have the whole range available for you to order through the Flexi schools app. Place your order online and we will get the order packaged and delivered to your child.
Alternatively, please come into the front office on a Monday or Friday for a viewing/fitting or to purchase.
Enrolment in Reception
If you have a child turning 5 in the next 12 months, it's time to enrol them to start school. Children either start school at the start of the year or in July, depending on their age.
Our school has now reached capacity and we have begun a Capacity Management Plan, 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 2025 should be finalised by June 21 this year. Once we know how many students from our catchment area will be coming, we will be able to determine whether we can welcome other local families.
Please contact the front office for a registration of interest form today!
