For Your Information
Canteen
What a fantastic term we have had in the PPN Kitchen, it is such a pleasure to be making healthy and nutritious food for your children!
I am writing to you all to ask that you please not send your child to school with any food that requires boiling water (noodle cups etc) or food that needs to be reheated. For safety reasons, we are unable to reheat any food that comes from home in the canteen.
I would also like to ask that if you plan on ordering any food for your child on the last day of term, could you please do so before Thursday, the 23rd of September. We had almost half the school order lunches on the last day of Term 2 and we need to be as prepared as possible. Flexischools orders are preferred. For this day only, there will be no pizzas available to order. Everything else on the menu will remain the same.
With Gratitude,

School Choir
The Prescott Primary Northern school choir will now present the musical 'Esther-Ordinary Faith' on Thursday, October 21st, not September 16th, as originally planned. Thank you for noting this. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Casual Day—Friday September 24th
On the last day of each term, students may come to school in casual clothes only if they bring a gold coin donation. Please note that students need to remember as they choose which clothes they would like to wear for casual day that they need to dress appropriately. Their clothes should cover their bodies in the same way that their uniform does and their shoes should be appropriate for running and playing.
The money raised this way is allocated to either a sister school project or to Asian Aid.
This term’s funds will be set aside for Asian Aid.
Here a part of Asian Aid’s CEO’s message to their supporters in their last newsletter:
“Throughout Covid-19 we have remained focused on our mission but also ensuring we have kept ‘eyes on the child’. We have incorporated the following:
- Ensuring the children are safe at home, through welfare checks
- Provide food security to not just the children but also their families through our Family Food Fund
- Ensure that where possible, children continue to learn
- Provide additional support for children who have been unable to learn through our No Child Left Behind campaign.
Thank you for you ongoing support. We ask that you join us and remember the children, their families and partners in your prayers.”
Uniform Shop
The Uniform Shop will be closed until further notice. Please order uniforms through flexischools.com.au and the items will be delivered to your child’s classroom within 3 school days. If you order the wrong size, please return the item to the Front Office with all the packaging and a note with your child’s name and explaining whether the item is too big or too small and we will exchange it for you. Thank you for your cooperation during this time.
