First Aid Incursion on Monday

The First Aid in Schools Program equips primary students with age‑appropriate First Aid knowledge, including how to act in an emergency and call 000. Through interactive games, stories, and CPR learning, students gain practical skills in an engaging way. These foundations help build a more confident and resilient community. We are fortunate to have three educators coming on Monday 23rd March.

Introducing our brand new online safety game 

eSafety are excited to share their brand new Mighty Heroes adventure, a fun, interactive web-based game created to help primary school-aged children learn to stay safer online.   

 About the game:  

• Designed for interactive whiteboards, tablets, desktops and laptops  
• No logins required – easy access for educators and students  
• Flexible – pause anytime to discuss key online safety messages  
• Trusted learning – aligned to V9 Australian Curriculum and eSafety’s Best Practice Framework for Online Safety Education  
• Co-designed – developed with educators, parents, and children to meet real classroom needs  
• Educator support – includes 60+ classroom activity ideas, answer keys, and student worksheets 

With 9,000+ game players in the first week, early feedback shows why it’s landing so well. 

Students say it’s fun, worth playing again, and something they’d recommend – captured perfectly by comments like ‘fun but you still get to learn stuff’.  Educators are equally enthusiastic, calling it ‘an Australian product that fills a gap in our curriculum resources.’

Food Safety Reminder                                             Birthday Treats and Food Sharing

To help keep all children safe at school, we would like to remind families of a few important expectations regarding food brought into classrooms.

When providing birthday treats, please keep items simple and clearly identifiable, such as a small lolly bag or individually wrapped chocolate like a Freddo Frog. This helps staff and ensures they are safe for all students. Please do not bring in treats that contain nuts.If you are unsure whether the treat is appropriate, please speak with your child’s teacher beforehand. If your child has food allergies, you’re welcome to provide alternative treats for them to enjoy when birthday treats are shared in the classroom.

We also remind families that food sharing between students is not permitted. While this is a helpful habit for general health and hygiene, it is especially important for protecting children with food allergies and anaphylaxis. We are also aware that some children kindly like to buy food from the canteen for their friends. While this is a thoughtful gesture, it is not permitted. This helps ensure that students with allergies are not accidentally given unsafe foods and also ensures that parents know exactly what their child has eaten during the school day. Please speak with your child about the importance of only eating the food packed by their family or purchased for them.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all students.

We have four children in our school with severe anaphylaxis allergies they are in the below classes: PJM, 6SP, 2MV and1NL.
