Premier’s Reading Challenge Update
The Premier’s Reading Challenge continues this term, finishing on Friday September 4th. The Challenge is a fun and engaging way to get children and their families involved with reading.
There was a great uptake of students beginning the Challenge during the holidays. All students are encouraged to participate in the Challenge, it’s a great initiative to support and foster positive reading habits.
So far, students in our school have read over 700 books and 14 students have already completed the Challenge! Well done to those students and to everyone who has begun. With 7 weeks remaining, it is not too late to get involved!
For more information, please visit the Premier’s Reading Challenge website, speak to your child’s class teacher or myself.

Asthma / Allergy / Anaphylaxis Action Plans
If your child has asthma, allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, government legislation requires that you provide us with a current Action Plan (examples below). Please visit your medical practitioner annually for an up to date Action Plan and provide a copy to school.

Your child should have a supply of their medication in the Sick Bay to manage their symptoms. If your medical practitioner has informed you that your child has grown out of their condition, we require written confirmation stating such.
Thank you for your cooperation.
2026 Update:
In addition to the existing EpiPen and AnaPen, there are two new treatments now available for anaphylaxis - the Jext pen and Neffy nasal spray. A How to Use visual is included below.

Compass Tips
Would parents please not add Attendance Notes when students are arriving after 9am or departing before 3.30pm. Staff members do not see the parent comments written on these notes so an email via Compass is a great way to convey any extra details. The kiosk at Reception is to be used to sign/in out as this marks the roll and we know exactly who is on-site in case of emergency.
Thanks so much for your cooperation.

QKR! App - Student Updates
Would families please update their student's profiles to reflect their 2026 year level and new classroom? Otherwise things like Special Food Day orders will go to their previous classroom.
New students can also be added via Profiles --> Add Profile tab.
Thank you.
