A friendly reminder that payment and consents 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't 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

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 and check this spot for anything that may be missing.

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 and SOCKS! 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!

GROWING APPETITES & EMERGENCY LUNCHES

As the days warm up and students stay active, many are feeling hungrier than usual! A friendly reminder to pack a little extra food in your child’s lunchbox, if you’re able. We’ve noticed some students finishing their meals early and still feeling peckish later in the day.

On the rare occasions when lunch is forgotten, we do have emergency food supplies available at school, generously provided by Camp Australia and Foodbank. We’re very thankful for their ongoing support. Sandwiches are prioritised over snacks to ensure students receive a filling and nutritious option.

Making sure students come to school with enough food each day helps ease the load on our admin team during busy lunch breaks.

Thank you for helping keep our students happy, healthy, and ready to learn this spring!

Have a lovely fortnight!
