QPARENTS

A big thank you to the families who have already signed up to QParents, we almost have all families signed up. This will be the main platform that we will be using within the school for activity consent.

QParents lets you quickly review upcoming events and information about your child. It is a secure platform with restricted access. The first time you sign up, you must do this on a PC- not a mobile device/apple product. If you need assistance, you can do this at the school office.

Later in the year, enhancements to the app will mean that consent must be received for invoices to be generated. This means that payment deadlines/return of consent will be followed. More information to come on this.

MOTHER’S DAY STALL

Our P&C are hosting the annual Mother’s Day stall onsite tomorrow 9 May. Each class will have a time slot to go and visit. Prepaid cards (purchased via Quickcliq), eftpos or cash on the day will be accepted. There are gifts of all prices including a raffle with over $1 000 worth in prize value.

Thank you to the amazing volunteers who have put this stall together to recognise the Wondall mothers and significant carers! Happy Mother’s Day for the 12^th of May.
