Re-enrolments for 2022

Prescott Primary Northern is currently planning for 2022 and we are requesting confirmation of enrolment intentions for next year. An online form has been sent out via Consent2Go, please complete this online form as soon as possible. If your child/ren will not be returning in 2022, we still need the form completed indicating this, as one term's notice is required to avoid paying fees in 2022 and to allow us to contact families on our waiting lists.

Lunch Deliveries

We would like you to know that taking commercial/fast food type lunches (e.g. Hungry Jacks, MacDonalds, Subway etc.) to classrooms for students is something we will no longer do. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, there are risks involved in food being served later than it should be, and the school is not able to pass that food on. The foods in question can be particularly susceptible to these risks. Secondly, the arrival of some of the commercial foods into a classroom can be very unsettling for the class. Finally, it can create a feeling of lack for some children in the class whose family cannot, or choose not to provide these popular meals for their child.

We provide healthy fresh food options at our canteen that are well-priced, and we are willing to help sort something at short notice if it is an emergency.

Please do not be offended if we say we are not able to deliver these lunches to your child’s classroom.

Many thanks

PPN School Bag Requirements

At a recent School Advisory meeting, it was decided that some changes would be made to our existing school bag expectations. We are going to be moving towards every student at Prescott Northern having an official PPN School bag by the start of 2023. We are going to be doing this over the next year or so to make the transition easier on families. If you wish to purchase a school bag prior to your children are required to, please feel free to do so. We have devised a plan and we wish to share the following with you-

Start of 2022 - PPN School bag compulsory for Foundation only - optional for everyone else

Start of 2023 - PPN School bag compulsory for 2023 for Foundation to Year 5

Start of 2023 - Year 6 - either the PPN school bag or Prescott College school bag can be purchased but it must be one or the other.

By 2023 all students will have the PPN School bag. We thank you for your help regarding this and if you have any questions, please contact me via email: jasondavis@ppn.sa.edu.au
