BIRTHDAY PARTY AND INVITATIONS
While we LOVE birthdays and celebrations, we remind you that the school does not distribute birthday party invitations. The only exception is if everyone in the class is invited or all of either the boys or girls are invited as a gender group. It can be difficult for children to understand why they might not be invited, therefore invitations should be extended outside of school hours.
Parents/guardians are welcome to bring in icy poles, lollipops or cupcakes on their child’s birthday however, please note important information below:
- Please contact the Office one week prior to arrange - to enable notice being given to the class Teacher
- Please be mindful of allergies
- Do not bring in any food that includes nuts or traces of nuts
