Harmony Day/Grandparents/Special Person Day
We would like to invite grandparent and special persons to our Harmony Day afternoon on 20th March from 1:30 meeting on the basketball courts for some tea and cake before going to children's classes. More information to come closer to the date. Thank you to parents and friends for opening up the Willow cafe to provide drinks and sweets.
Students are able to wear orange on this day as part of the celebrations.
A Message from Ruth
Hi Everyone,
I’ve been reflecting on our school’s theme of goal setting. My goal is to get to know every student’s name by the end of the year! I’m doing OK so far, but I still need to work on it each day and make it a focus for me.
How often do you set goals for yourself? Do you share them with your child?
I love the idea of Goldilocks goals-not too easy, not too hard, just RIGHT. Encourage your child to break their goal into small doable steps so progress feels achievable. Celebrate effort along the way-not just results and adjust the goals if they become overwhelming. When children learn to set and work towards their goals, they build habits that support lifelong success and resilience.
Have a good week.

Team Earth
Team Earth is led by a group of students (Zadie, Evie and Flo). The money raised from their sale is to go towards supporting charities of animals. Please bring some money to support this student led group at the end of next week's assembly.
Bulb Fundraiser
Support Uraidla Primary School and beautify your garden at the same time.
Uraidla Primary School is kicking of fundraising for 2026 through the sale of beautiful bulbs. Get your orders in before the end of March by following these three easy steps:
- Go to the Uraidla Fundraising Page
- Select your bulbs and proceed to checkout
- Enter payment details and YOUR postal address for delivery
Anyone is welcome to place an order, but make sure you get in early to avoid your favourites being sold out. Postage is a flat fee of $8.50 and is sent via the Aust Post network. Enjoy planting your bulbs!
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.
