School leaders times may vary. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please return the

School Spectacular
It was an absolute pleasure to see our talented students across our state public schools last
Friday evening showcase their talents in choir and dance. This year we had three students
perform: Mahek Jain, Jacob Brown and Paige Jessop. This was truly a memorable experience for
these students. I wish to publically thank Sturt Public School for the invitation for Jakob and
Paige to participate.
We also took a bus of primary students to enjoy the show. Thank you to Miss Annetts for her
organisation and the supporting staff. The event will be televised this Saturday evening on
Prime. Make sure you tune in to this world record breaking event.
Year 6 Fun Day
Thank you to all who donated a gold coin to participate in today’s Year Six Fun Day. Proceeds
support the purchase of a gift to the school from our Year 6.

School Community Awareness- Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe and sometimes sudden allergic reaction. It occurs when a person is exposed to an allergen. Anaphylaxis is potentially life threatening and always requires an emergency response. We have two students that will be enrolled at our school next year. One student is allergic to egg and the other student to nuts. The reactions have been evident when students have ingested food containing these products. To support our students health requirements parents are asked to discuss the following with their child:
Students are not to share food with other students
Encourage students to wash their hands before and after eating.
Products from the canteen have been amended, eg. no egg sandwiches to support the safety of our students.
