NAIDOC Week
National Road Safety Week
This week is National Road Safety Week and is a timely reminder to share the importance of safe driving. Wondall Road is a busy one and we know that pick up and drop off times see a particular increase in vehicle traffic around the school. Remember to stick to the speed limits and give yourself plenty of time to travel. If you are held up at pick up time, don’t worry, we will keep your children safe!
Carpark Gathering
We remind families, that the school carparks should not be used as a waiting space. The carparks should remain clear of pedestrians to allow safe movement of vehicles. If these are nominated meeting points for your children, please consider other options.
Track Carnival P-2
Prep to Yr 2 track carnival is planned for this Thursday 19 November 2020. Students are welcome to wear their house colour shirts on track day. Due to COVID restrictions parents and carers are unable to attend this event.
Returning of School Resources
As the school year draws to a close, please check your bookshelves at home for any school library or general resources. Please return these to the school ASAP, so we can prepare for end of year stocktaking.
Prep Transitioning
Prep Orientation Sessions will be held next week, 23-27 November. We look forward to spending time with our new preps.
Just a reminder that Wondall Heights state school is collecting Transition Statements to help us best support your child in Prep in 2021. Parents will need to provide consent to Kindergartens for the Transition Statements to be shared. Transition Statements can be emailed to the school directly to admin@wondallheightsss.eq.edu.au or brought directly to the school office.
