A note from Cheryl

Uraidla Primary School received a Certificate of Appreciation and a long letter of thanks from St Vincent de Paul Society last week.

Thank you to every person and family who contributed to the Vinnie's Christmas Hampers at Christmas time. Many Hills schools, churches and businesses, as well as the Toy-Run made contributions large and small.

From the collected donations, Christmas Hampers were delivered to 57 school families throughout the Hills (92 adults and 125 children) and 36 community families (49 adults and 41 children.

Thank you all again!

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

Thursday lunch Chess Club is up and running. It's great to see so many students involved. Thank you to Stephen for running this group! If you think your child might be interested, please encourage them to attend or reach out to Stephen and let him know. ♟

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 mid entry 2025 should already be finalised. With enrolments for start of 2026 due by the end of term 2. Please contact the front office for a registration of interest form today!
