Woolworths Earn and Learn

The Woolworths Earn and Learn program started on May 1 and finishes June 25 2019. For every $10.00 you spend you will receive a sticker. Stick your collected stickers on the sticker sheets and drop them in the boxes at school at the front office or junior primary area. We have also arranged for a collection box outside Woolworths Garden City. We have received some wonderful sporting equipment through the program in the past and would like to add equipment to our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program this year.
Thank you for your support.

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.

Treasure Hunters

Treasure Hunters is the new program in place of religious education and will commence on Thursday May 16 at lunch time. Students can take their lunch to the student kitchen for this program. The program is run by the same personnel that ran the previous religious education program and is co-ordinated by Patricia Auld under the umbrella of YouthCARE.
Further information and a permission slip are attached to the Term 2 Issue 1 newsletter.

Be You Health & Wellbeing

We are continuing to work on the Be You Health & Wellbeing initiative at MPPS. Thank you for the responses we received last term for our anonymous Families Survey. Administration from Be You have since told us that the surveys will not work from phones or ipads, so I am sorry if you had trouble accessing the survey. We are sending out the link again and inviting anyone who was not able to fill out the survey last term, to feel free to complete it using a laptop or desktop computer by the end of week 4 (Friday May 24). Your input is greatly valued and will assist us as we look at ways to strengthen Health & Wellbeing in our wonderful school community.

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.
