Parent Information

As we approach the end of Term 4, we would like to remind students and their parents/carers that this was the final week books could be borrowed from the college. Next week, from Monday 2 December, we kindly ask that you return all college books to the school. Please ensure you check all throughout the house, in your car and in your student's room etc. to make sure there you gather up all of the college's books you may have in your possession and send them with your student to be returned. We thank you for your cooperation in ensuring all books are returned. 

As we move to seperate Primary (F-6) and Secondary (7-12) structures next year, please be aware of the following updates regarding uniforms:

• A two-year transition period will take place for Year 5 and 6 as they move to a Primary (F-6) uniform. 
• There will be the introduction of a Year 6 shirt.
• Blazers are compulsory for Year 10, 11 and 12 students.

Second Hand Uniforms Now Available

An opportunity exists to purchase second hand uniforms from the front office at St Anne's College. You can view available items in the foyer area of the college and there is a range of sizes available. Prices range from $5 to $20 per item and cash payment is preferred.

Families are reminded to please ensure they provide up to date medical plans and the necessary, in date, medications to the office.

An authority form is required for staff to administer medications.

Parents are reminded that all medication, including non prescribed, to be administered at school or on camp or excursions, requires a pharmaceutical label detailing student name and dosage, along with our authority form is also required, a copy of this is located below.

Please be reminded, if your child is unwell we ask you to support our staff and community members by keeping them at home.

Students are only permitted to return to school when 24 hours has passed since they experienced their last symptom (e.g. vomiting, diarrhea). You student must not be experiencing any symptoms for at least 24 hours before they can return to school.

Children who are unwell will be sent to sick bay and families will be called to collect their child. We know this can impact working families, but by working together we can reduce the spread of illnesses and ensure we are all healthy at school. We appreciate your support.
