From Sarah Abbot Deputy Principal P - 2
JUMPERS, JACKETS and HATS
Just a friendly reminder to ensure all hats, jumpers and jackets are clearly labelled with your child’s name. As the weather heats up, students may take off items off jackets and jumpers in the middle of the day and from time to time, one child will accidentally take home another child’s item of clothing. Please encourage your child to put their clothing items safely in their bags, once they take them off. In the event an item of clothing goes home with the wrong child, could you please return the item to the office the next day to be returned to the correct child.
PHOTO DAYS
Please be advised that photo days are 25th and 26th August. All children should have been sent home photo envelopes. On your child’s photo day, please ensure your child is dressed in their formal uniform, regardless of whether it is their allocated PE day.
Sibling photos will be held before school from 8am in the hall.
BOOK WEEK
In week 7, we will be celebrating Book Week. In preparation, we would like to invite students to send in a photo of themselves, reading their favourite book in a weird and wonderful place. During Book Week, we will post the photos to Facebook to share our community’s love of reading! If you would like your photo shared, please send to sabbo6@eq.edu.au .
I look forward to seeing how creative our community can be!
PREP INFORMATION SESSIONS
We are currently taking Prep 2021 enrolments – please come to the school office to enrol your child ASAP, if you haven’t already done so. We are also currently offering positions to out-of-catchment enrolments on our waiting list.
Our next event will be Prep Interviews for those children enrolled for Prep 2021 at Wondall Heights State School. This year’s interview process has changed from previous years. There will now be a group interview where parents will be presented information and asked to fill in questionnaires whilst their children interact with our teachers, in a group setting. The new format is designed to create a sense of community and for children and families to meet and establish connections in preparation for 2021. This format will also allow our staff to spend more time getting to know your children and to observe their interactions with other children. More information about this process will be provided to families as we send out invites to this event in the next few weeks. To ensure you receive your invite, please enrol at the office ASAP.
