Swimming Carnival

What a fantastic carnival on Thursday March 13. Perfect weather, great swimming and terrific sportsmanship!
Congratulations to all students for their efforts and extra congratulations to our medallion winners above. What a close finish for the swimming shield with Blue winning by just 18 points to Red.
Thank you to all parents for their willingness to be involved in both the time trials and MPPS Faction Swimming Carnival to support the smooth running of both carnivals. Thanks to all staff for their involvement in supporting and cheering students on both days. The MDISSA interschool carnival is on Tuesday April 9 at Challenge Stadium. Students who are successful in gaining an interschool squad placement will be informed in the coming weeks.

Kiss and Drop

This is a reminder on how the kiss and drop zone should operate. As you may have noticed, the kiss and drop zone has been moved further west along Queens Road to alleviate the congestion and safety issues at Ventnor Avenue.
 Do not park in any part of this zone. If you pull in and cannot see your child, you should continue driving around the block.
 When you pull into the kiss and drop area, go as close to the front as you possibly can.
 Absolutely do not double park.
 Consider arriving 5-10 minutes after the siren as by then the congestion would have settled.

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.
