General Finance Update 

A friendly reminder that payment for the following activities is due soon. 

Please note that invoices are always emailed to the paying parent, as nominated at enrolment. This setup can only be changed with a written request. As a result, only the paying parent will be able to view invoices through QParents.

If you think there might be a student credit on your account, feel free to reach out to me directly so I can apply it for you—credits can not be applied via QParents.

We really encourage all families to sign up for QParents to keep on top of invoices and stay connected with school updates.

If you have any questions, need help, or would like to talk about setting up a payment plan, you’re always welcome to get in touch with me at bsm@enoggerass.eq.edu.au.

Thanks for your support!

QPARENTS – Stay Connected and Informed

We kindly remind all parents and caregivers that QParents is now the primary platform for receiving school communications, including consent forms and invoices.

To ensure you don’t miss any important information or deadlines, we strongly encourage all families to register for QParents as soon as possible.

If you choose not to sign up for QParents, please be aware that you will need to visit the school office regularly to collect any hard copy consent forms or notices.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us streamline communication and support a more efficient, environmentally friendly process.

LOST PROPERTY – LAST WEEK OF TERM REMINDER

With jumper season in full swing and the end of term fast approaching, it’s time for a final call!

Our Lost Property area – just under the administration office, outside the uniform shop – is overflowing with misplaced socks, school hats, and those vanishing jumpers. If your child is missing something, please encourage them to stop by before the end of this week.

Any clearly named items still in Lost Property by this Friday will be safely stored over the holidays. Unnamed items, however, may not return from their adventures!

A huge thank you to the amazing parents who help keep things organised – we couldn’t do it without you!

SPARE UNIFORMS & UNDERWEAR – A LITTLE BACKUP GOES A LONG WAY!

A quick reminder to all our Prep and Year 1 families: please make sure your child has a full set of spare clothes in their school bag each day – including underwear. Sometimes little accidents happen, and having a change of clothes on hand helps keep our students comfortable and ready to learn.

If your child has borrowed any spare clothing from the office recently, we kindly ask that these items be returned as soon as possible. Our supply is running low, and we'd love to restock for any future needs.

We're also gratefully accepting donations of new underwear, as these items can't be reused once worn. Thanks so much for your support in helping us care for all our students!

CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE – TURN TRASH INTO TREASURE!

Did you know Queenslanders use around 3 billion drink containers every year? That’s a lot of bottles and cans – but thanks to Containers for Change, we can give them a second life and help our environment at the same time!

The Containers for Change Schools Program is a fun and easy way for schools like ours to raise funds while teaching students about the power of recycling. It’s a win-win for our planet and our school community!

If you’ve been collecting bottles and cans at home, you can support Enoggera State School by donating your containers. Just drop them off at any official Containers for Change collection point and use our school code: C11523111

Thanks for helping us make a difference – every container counts!

HUNGRY TUMMIES & EMERGENCY LUNCHES

As the cooler weather sets in and appetites grow, a friendly reminder to pack a little extra food in your child’s lunchbox if possible – especially during winter! We have noticed some students are finishing their food early and feeling hungry before the end of the day.

On the odd occasion when lunch is forgotten, we do have emergency food supplies available at school, generously donated by Camp Australia and Foodbank. We are so grateful for their support. Sandwiches will always be prioritised over snacks to ensure students receive a filling and nutritious option.

If families could please ensure students come to school with enough food each day, it would also help reduce the demand on our admin team during busy break times.

Thanks for your support in keeping all our students happy, healthy, and ready to learn!

SCHOOL CLEANER WANTED – JOIN OUR TEAM!

We’re currently looking for a school cleaner to join the Enoggera State School team for 20 hours per week. Ideally, the position will be Monday to Friday in a split shift (e.g. morning and afternoon).

This is an entry-level position, so a full recruitment process isn’t required. If you or someone you know might be interested, please get in touch with me directly via email emast27@eq.edu.au  – I’d love to hear from you!

PAPER & TISSUES – A FRIENDLY REMINDER

As part of each student's book list, families are asked to provide 1 ream of white A4 paper and 1 box of tissues. These essential supplies help support classroom activities and shared resources across the school.

It has come to our attention that many families who purchased book packs independently (rather than through our preferred supplier, Bedrock Books) may have missed these items.

A follow-up email will be sent out to those families shortly. If you still have these items at home, we kindly ask that they be handed in to the office early next term, as our current supplies are running low.

We're also very grateful for any additional donations of paper or tissues – every bit helps!

Thank you for your ongoing support and generosity!

I hope you all have a lovely June/July break and see you next term!
