YEAR 6 CAMP

Year Six have had a thrilling start to the term. All classes have recently returned from a four-day adventure at Maranatha Recreation Camp. Surrounded by the Gympie hinterland, the students completed a number of different challenges aimed at building leadership and teamwork skills. The activities inspired many students to stretch beyond their comfort zones and develop strategies to help prepare them for the transition to high-school.  The students conducted themselves in a way that was a credit to Wondall Heights State School. Both teachers and students enjoyed the experience.

Students will continue to face and overcome challenges, both inside and outside the classroom throughout the remainder of the year and as they prepare for high-school. The Year Six teachers commend all students on how they are meeting and exceeding these challenges and expectations.

PREP VISION SCREENING

Visit by Registered Nurse for Free Prep Vision Screening

Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social development. Vision screening checks for common eye conditions that may impact your child’s ability to see and therefore impact their learning and development.

A Registered Nurse will be visiting the school on 20th October 2022 to commence vision screening for children in their prep year.  If you wish to have your prep child participate in this free vision screening program, please complete the consent form emailed and return to school.  Parents do not need to be present for screening, however if you would like to be, please contact the school to arrange this.

If your child’s vision is screened, you will be advised of the results in writing. If a vision concern is found, you will receive a phone call from the nurse to discuss referral to an eye health professional for further assessment. If a vision concern is identified and your child requires glasses, eligible health care card holders may be assisted with free basic glasses through the Spectacle Supply Scheme.

Participation in vision screening is not compulsory. If you do not wish for your child to participate in screening, please complete the consent form and indicate that you wish to decline screening.

If you have any questions, please contact the Primary School Nurse Health Readiness Program on 1800 687 372.
