Preparing for School Photos
Forms for this year’s official school photos are being sent home this week. Please read and respond to them as quickly as possible.
It’s also important that all students have their full winter uniform in place. This includes:
- Neatly worn shirts, jumpers, pants, skirts and ties
- Blazers for all Year 5 and 6 students
- The correct socks or navy leggings for girls
- Clean cut hair that is off the eyes (and tied back if it is on or below the collar)
- The correct black school shoes (if students have P.E. on photo day, they may bring sneakers in a bag to change into)
- Appropriate, school approved earrings
School photos are a chance for us to create lasting memories, and feel proud about who we are as individuals, a class and as a school.
Canteen Term 3 2023
Welcome back to Term 3 and we trust you are feeling refreshed after the school holiday break.
As the weather starts to warm up you will see some changes to our Term 3 menu offerings. Soups will come off the menu and will be replaced with grazing lunch boxes (small & large serving sizes will be available), and vegetarian cold rolls.
Just a friendly reminder that we are unable to heat up food in the canteen that has been sent from home.
Cash payments are an option to order lunch, however Flexischools is our preferred method of transaction.
If you still have any outstanding payments for lunches provided, we would appreciate your prompt return! We will never let your little ones go hungry!
We are grateful for your support and look forward to nourishing your children during Term 3!

Scam Alert
We have been made aware that there are currently a number of scams specifically targeting parents paying school fees. While none of these have affected PPN parents, we wanted to make you aware as a reminder to remain vigilant with any payments.
In particular, one scam involves parents being called by a scammer pretending to be from a school, and offering a discount if they pay straight away. If this occurs, please do not pass on your credit card details as requested.
Another known scam involves scammers using parent’s credit card details (found as part of a leak or other activity) to make BPay payments to the school before asking for a refund. If this occurs, parents will be able to get funds returned by claiming the fraud with their bank, but the school looses their money. Please continue to be vigilant with your credit card details, as we continue to hold strong financial controls at school.
If you have questions or doubts about a financial request relating to school fees, please call the PPN number directly. This will ensure you are speaking to us and avoid any fraudulent activity.
