A Message from Ruth
Today your child celebrated Harmony Day here at school. So, what is Harmony Day?
Harmony Day is celebrated across Australia each year to recognise our nation’s cultural diversity and promote inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone. At school, your child takes part in activities that help them learn about different cultures and ways to create a welcoming environment for all. The colour orange is often worn on Harmony Day to symbolise friendship and community.
Harmony Day is always a reminder that we need to appreciate our differences and understand the importance of kindness and acceptance. Have a chat with your child this weekend and ask them how they celebrated and what that means for them at school and in the wider community. Hopefully, you can have some meaningful conversations around this special day.
Have a good week.

Please shut the gate!
We are trying to keep our school gate shut at all times, for child safety. Can you help us? If you see either school gate open (on the town oval side, or on Kidney St), we would appreciate if you can close it for us, and if you or your kids go through the gates, please close them behind you. Thank you so much!

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 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, 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 mid-2026 are now overdue, and we hope to have enrolments for 2027 finalised by June. 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.
