This fun night out is a social event for families of the school as well as the wider community, with a competitive quiz and bonus games. It is also a fundraiser where we will serve wine from local winemakers, and there will also be a silent auction with items donated by locals and local businesses.
All funds raised from this event will go towards projects that enhance the school grounds, provide diverse student learning experiences and benefit the whole community.
You can buy a single or a few tickets and choose your table on the night, joining another smaller group if you wish, or you can buy a full table of 8 at the discounted price. https://events.humanitix.com/uraidla-primary-quiz-night

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 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.
Chess
Did you know that each Thursday during the second lunch playtime there is a Chess Club? Chess is a great game and brings many benefits to children, including
* critical thinking
* concentration
* challenge
* enjoyment
* decision making skills
New players are welcome each week, meeting in Stephen’s class♟️
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 2026 are now overdue. 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 and book into one of the below time slots.
