PAM Medical Profiles & Photo Permission

We are asking families to log into PAM to update their child's Medical Profile (this needs to be done annually) as soon as possible.

This includes making sure you have entered your permissions for photography at school. To avoid confusion, please enter 'yes' or 'no' rather than leaving a field blank.

Please note that we are unable to allow students to attend any offsite event without a valid Medical Profile.

We are also unable to share any photos of students anywhere, including our newsletter, without having the photo permissions entered into their medical profiles.

Attendance:

Take a look at our attendance rates for the first three weeks of school. Regular school attendance plays a vital role in student learning, wellbeing and connection to school life. Being at school every day helps students build strong routines, maintain friendships, and engage fully in their learning.

We thank families for their continued support in prioritising attendance and ensuring students arrive at school on time and ready to learn. If your child is unwell, rest and recovery are important; however, where possible, we encourage regular attendance on all school days.

If families require support around attendance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office. We’re here to help.

Routine Focus: Eating Time

Our routine focus for this week is Eating Time. Students will be explicitly taught and reminded of expected behaviours, with a continued focus on reducing rubbish and encouraging nude food options.

St Therese's Meal Bank:

We are hoping to fill our school freezers with home-cooked meals to support families in our school community. If you have some extra time, we would be so grateful for any meal donations. These meals make a real difference to families who may need a little extra support.

All donations are greatly appreciated. If you’re unable to cook a meal, financial donations can also be made via My School Connect.

Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships:

The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) program supports the development of students’ social, emotional and positive relationship skills. It aligns with and supports the Health and Physical Education curriculum.

All classes participate in weekly RRRR sessions, with all year levels currently focusing on Topic 1: Emotional Literacy during the first six weeks of school.
