School Gates
We would appreciate your help in making sure all of the entrance gates to the school are shut after entering or exiting the premises, for student safety. Thank you!
Thank you
We have many helpers throughout the year at school. We would like to send a big thanks to Alex Fry and Angela Ryan for attending the rehearsal at Magic Millions Choir. Your help goes a long way!
Kids Biz evening
Uraidla Primary School will be hosting a Growth & Development Family Evening on Tuesday 10 September 2024. We typically run these sessions every other year.
The sessions are conducted by Kidz Biz Education and are designed to be fun, informative and easy to understand. These highly interactive sessions will provide students and their parents/care providers with an introduction to basic personal and social development education; traditionally known as the ‘facts of life’. By all means, sessions will be facilitated in a manner that is not conducive to an awkward or threatening environment.
Notes have been sent home. Please make sure to return them ASAP so you don't miss out on a fantastic informative evening.
A note from Kirrily
It was amazing to have SMG come in to school this Friday and run a seminar on Friendships! The kids were so engaged and there was a lot that lined up with our theme for the term - kindness. We learnt about making friendly choices over conflict choices, how words matter, forgiving one another, what makes a good friend, asking good questions and how being yourself matters! Big thank you to the Schools Chaplaincy Support Group who funded this seminar :)! Here's some pics of the session!
Try Parents and Friends
The Parents and Friends would like to welcome any new members to join our ranks! We meet Tuesday evenings at 7pm twice a term. Our next meeting is at the Uraidla Hotel on September 3 at 7pm. Come along and have fun while supporting your kids! 🙂
We are a group of parents and friends of the school, who share the vision of an inclusive and welcoming school community. We focus on activities that raise funds for the school for equipment and experiences and provide opportunities to bring everyone together and feel part of our community. Best of all we have a lot of fun and laughs while doing it.
We meet twice a term, and everyone volunteers to run or support different activities throughout the year. You can join the committee, or we welcome volunteers for events and activities.
P&F activities you can volunteer to help out with include:
- Willow Café ( run after assemblies, hot drinks and snacks)
- Sausage sizzles for Acquaintance night/ end of year concert
- Second hand uniform sales
- Kytons Bakery sale
- School Disco
- Large events like the Colour Run/Art Show
To join, come along to a meeting (dates in the yearly planner) or email uraidlapandf@gmail.com to express your interest in helping out with events.
Uniform Ordering
Did you know our school uniforms can now be ordered through Flexi Schools? We have the whole range available for you to order through the Flexi schools app. Place your order online and we will get the order packaged and delivered to your child.
Alternatively, please come into the front office on a Monday or Friday for a viewing/fitting or to purchase.
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 the start of 2025 should already be finalised, whether for the start of the year or mid 2025, for our staff planning.
Please contact the front office for a registration of interest form today!
