School Noticeboard
UNIFORM TRANSITION (Summer To Winter)
As we move into Autumn, we have a transition period between our Summer and Winter uniforms.
From the beginning of Week 9 of Term 1 (25 March) through until the end of Week 2 of Term 2 (3 May), we will be in the transition period for the wearing of uniform. In this period, students may choose to wear either their full Summer uniform or their full Winter uniform, depending upon weather conditions (please do not wear a combination).
From the beginning of Week 3, Term 2 (6 May) students will be required to wear their full Winter uniform.
Please note: Full formal Winter Uniform is required for Foundation Day (Friday 3 May) and for School Photographs (5-6 June) . Normal requirements for Sports uniform continue throughout the entire year.
The way in which the School uniform is worn has a strong influence on how we feel about ourselves and the ways in which we are viewed by others. Every student’s standard of dress and grooming is expected to reflect well on both the individual and the School as a whole. Please familiarise yourself with these expectations which are outlined in the student handbook on the website.
Absentee reminder
If your child is unable to attend school on short notice, a reminder to please call/email the office with the details. Recently teachers have been receiving emails about absent students, however we ask that these details are communicated with the office staff who will then inform the teacher.

Anaphylaxis Strategy
All children with a known allergy or anaphylaxis require a health care plan including an anaphylaxis plan.
Nut Minimisation Strategy - The School is unable to guarantee a nut free environment. However, it will endeavour to reduce the risk of exposure to nuts by:
- Requiring the School Canteen to ensure meals produced on site are nut free. Packaged foods may contain nuts, so children need to check labels and avoid such products
- Requiring the Food Technology staff to ensure a nut free food preparation area for use by students with nut allergies and to provide a nut free food technology program for the student
- Ensuring all staff involved in the direct care of students are trained in the use of epi-pens
- Requesting that all parents avoid sending food to school which contain nuts
- Insisting on any foods brought for sharing (birthday cakes) are only provided after the prior agreement of the class teacher and are sent in with a list of ingredients showing the items are nut free and were prepared in a nut free environment (ie adequate precautions were taken to avoid contamination – benches washed down, etc).
