Students conclude school this term on Friday 6th December, 2024 (Week 9).

Absenteeism:
It would be appreciated if parents could email or phone the school office before 9 am, to notify staff of their child’s absence from school. Please do not wait for a message from the school. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
Up to Date Contact Details:
Please ensure you provide the office with your up-to-date contact details. It is vital that we have the correct phone numbers for parents and emergency contacts.
Playing Before & After School:
Children must be under the supervision of their parents and not on playground equipment before or after school. We kindly ask that after you have collected your child at the end of the day, you leave the school grounds promptly. All playground equipment is out of bounds. Can you please ensure that family members or friends who are picking up your children are made aware of this as well. Thank you!

A Message from our School Nurse:
Support for Families: Helping with Bedwetting, Constipation, and/or Hydration Challenges:
As we approach the end of the term, I wanted to offer some friendly support to any families who may be managing common childhood challenges, such as poor hydration, occasional or frequent bedwetting and/or potential constipation. These issues are more common than people realise and are all very closely linked with each other, and with some simple routines, they can often be resolved smoothly.
If your child is still experiencing bedwetting, whether regularly or just now and then, or if you suspect that constipation might be playing a part, I would be happy to assist. Together, we can explore strategies to help your child feel more comfortable and confident, making things easier for both them and you before the new school year in 2025.
If your child has poor fluid intake and this is something you would like your child to become more habitual with – I would be happy to help by creating a fluid plan that will be encouraged by Teachers and EA’s while at school.
Reminder of what I can help with:
- Developing personalised fluid plans to support healthy hydration habits.
- Toileting routines that fit naturally into your child’s daily schedule. Toileting products (mattress protectors, night time pads which I have many samples of here in the Wellness Centre)
- Guidance on how to make these changes feel manageable and stress-free.
If you’d like to chat further or need advice, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. My email is: andrea.mangan@cewa.edu.au I’d be delighted to offer any support you need between now and the end of the term – while also helping with any plans you would like implemented over the school (summer) holidays.
