Casual Day

It has been fantastic seeing so many students dress up today. Here are some snapshots of students dressed up in their casual clothes.

School Disco

It's on again!!

Uraidla Primary School disco will be held on Thursday, 15 June from 6-7:30pm.

Run by the Parents and Friends this is a great event for kids to dance and have some fun with their school mates.

Tickets can be purchased from school reception for just $5 each.

Parents can drop their children at the OSHC entrance at 6pm and collect them again at 7:30. For any children who find it a little much during the event a quiet space is being provided.

All children are supervised by teachers and parent volunteers.

Children should bring a drink bottle. A small bag of chips is provided as a snack (gluten free) for each child.

Help please!

Can you spare 30 mins after assembly to help serve drinks?

The P&F love bringing the Uraidla Primary community together but need a little extra help.

We are looking for volunteers after assembly each fortnight, to help make hot drinks, take money and wash cups at the Willow Cafe.

All the tasks are really simple or just require some simple training to use the coffee machine.

If you can help just once or regularly, please email Amanda Preskett (apreskett@gmail.com) with the date/s you can do (assembly dates listed below).

Or just drop into the gym kitchen after the next assembly and let us know.

Thanks so much! Parents and Friends

Term 2 dates (Every second Friday odd school weeks after assembly)

CHECK: Covid measures

Here are the current recommendations from the Department for Education:

COVID safe measures

All students and staff must stay home if unwell, even mildly. If students become unwell at school, we are unable to care for them here and we will be contacting you to collect them asap. Please have a plan in place for someone who can collect your child within a half hour.
We still need to record all cases of COVID; please let us know asap if your child tests positive by either RAT or PCR test.
We will be maximising ventilation by leaving doors/windows open, using air conditioning and fans, and keeping doors and windows open.
Adults will practise physical distancing where possible.
We will continue to practise and promote hand and respiratory hygiene. Hand sanitiser will be provided for regular use, and disposable masks.
Students who have tested positive to Covid must stay home for 5 days from the date of the test. They can then return to school as long as they are free of symptoms. We ask siblings of students who have tested positive to wear a mask at school if they are able, to reduce the chance of infection.

Face masks

Adults and children in Years 3-6 can choose to wear masks inside, to minimise the risk of infection; we are now leaving this up to individual discretion.
If there is a known case in the family of a child in any class, we are encouraging the adults and children in that class to all wear masks during the infectious period.

Pick up and drop off

In the morning please continue to drop children off at one of the entrances to the school grounds, and allow them to make their own way to their classrooms. If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, please make contact through the SeeSaw app.
We are now welcoming families to come into the yard at the end of the day. Please come into the school grounds to wait rather than waiting in the roadway, for child safety. Thank you!
