General News

Our Parent Information Nights are fast approaching and are scheduled for next week. There will be two sessions for each year level which will take place in classrooms.

Canteen

Rory's School Lunches are continuing to provide canteen services at St Paul in 2024. Orders can be made via the Qkr! app. Please note the cut off time for same day lunch orders is 8:30am. The Rory's Parent hotline number for late orders is 0413 575 800. This is manned from 9:30am. Late orders must be made by 10:00am. Any orders placed after 10:00am will not be delivered in time, and therefore only toasted sandwiches will be available. Parents please ensure you are supplying a fork or spoon if your child has a lunch that requires one. We do not keep plastic utensils at school and Rory’s require a charge of .10c to supply a wooden fork or spoon. 

Please remember to update your child’s class in Qkr! before placing your first order for the year. You should be prompted to update your child profile and select from the drop down list of teachers to find your child’s class when you open the app

Uniform Shop 

The uniform shop will be open on Thursday mornings from 8:30am to 11:30am. If you aren’t able to attend on Thursday mornings, please email the school at admin@stpaulba.sa.edu.au and one of our friendly staff will contact you to assist.

In addition, we will no longer be accepting second hand uniforms on a consignment basis.  However, if you would like to donate second hand uniforms, we will be happy to sell them to other families as a fundraiser for the school.

St Paul Lutheran School App

The St Paul Lutheran SA app has all the contact information you need as a parent of St Paul. This app is different to the QKR! and Seesaw apps. This is what you will use to access the St Paul parent portal.  You can contact the school office to obtain your login and password
