EDU Dance 2019

Welcome back! I trust that everyone has had an enjoyable day for the first day back of school for 2019.

I would like to sincerely thank all of those parents who have paid their Contributions and Charges for 2019, either via direct deposit or called in to pay over the counter.

This notice is a reminder that the EDU Dance program begins on Wednesday 6th February and payment must be made prior so that students can access the program. If for reasons of hardship this is not possible, please call me on 9316 1045 to work out a payment plan.

Thank you.

Kind regards

School Board - From The Principal

On Tuesday 13th November 2018, the Mount Pleasant School Board had its final meeting for 2018, followed by the public meeting which all school boards must convene at least once a year. The tenure of all board members has come to an end this year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all board members for their incredible support and hard work throughout the last two years. Their involvment in policy making and general advice has been invaluable.
Early in Term 1, 2019 I will be calling for nominations to the School Board. I will also provide information regarding the various duties and expectations of the Board.

ANAPHYLAXIS

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life threatening. The most common allergens in school aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts (e.g. cashews), cows milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame and certain insect venom (particularly bee stings).

Two preventative strategies that we continually emphasise with students and parents are:

. Do not send food to school that may have anaphylactic triggers

. Do not share food.

You are urged to continually bear these two preventative strategies in mind and reinforce them with your children.
