For Your Information
Changes in our School Canteen
Mrs Karen Chang will be finishing up in her role as Canteen Manager at the end of this term. We have appreciated her service, wonderful healthy food she provides and her heart for others. She will be missed and we wish her all the best in her new endeavours. We would like to welcome Mrs Margarita Abbott who will step into the role of Canteen Manager in Term 3. Margarita has been volunteering in the canteen for a while, as well as being a very active member in our school community through the CEC and organising our Scholastic Book Club for many years. We look forward to all that she will bring to our canteen for the remainder of the year.
Kind Donation to Nature Playground
Thanks to Pepper and her family for the kind donation of these creative wooden bowls for our Nature Playground. Our students will love playing with these in the sand pit and mud kitchen! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Pepper!
Uniform Policy
This is a whole school reminder to remind you of the expectations of our uniform here at Prescott Primary Northern. There are a few items creeping in that are not uniform and this is a friendly reminder to correct the uniform for Term 3. We will be referring to the 2020 PPN Uniform Policy in this link - CLICK HERE! which is available on our website.
Shoes (page 3) - There are a lot of shoes that are incorrect at school at the moment. Shoes should laced, buckled or velcro, polished, black leather, low-heeled regulation school shoes. There are a lot of sneaker type, black shoes that are coming to school. These are incorrect. Please check your child's shoes and make sure they are correct before Term 3 begins.
Boys winter pants (page 2) - Boys pants should be School grey school trousers (Long cotton cargo pants are not permitted). The correct pants are available at the PPN Uniform Shop.
Hair cuts and Earrings (pages 4-5) - We are seeing a lot of hair cuts are going against the uniform policy. Boys must not have lines between the short and long parts and no lines cut into the hair. It is very embarrassing for your children when we speak to them as they know the expectation, yet the hair gets cut anyway. Please avoid any uncomfortable phone calls by ensuring the hair is cut correctly. Please read and see the pictures in the uniform policy.
Winter jackets (page 2) - A lot of students are coming in non-school winter jackets. We have a thick winter jacket available at the uniform shop. It must be the Navy school rain jacket with emblem (optional). Other jackets are not permitted unless a note is provided as to when you will be purchasing a school one.
These are the main areas we are asking for your help in. As always, you can send an SMS to the PPN school number or write a note regarding your child's uniform, requesting a uniform pass for the incorrect uniform. We are understanding and realise this year has been abnormal, however, there comes a time where we need to ensure our uniform policy is respected.
Thank you for help and understanding with these uniform requests. We are expecting all uniform matters to be resolved by Term 3.
