Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It is with great excitement that I step up to the role of Acting Principal at Enoggera State School for Term 4 while Mrs Robinson enjoys well-deserved leave. I was thrilled to accept this opportunity after applying for the expression of interest to act above level

I would also like to welcome Ms Meg Parkinson who was successful in her application to relieve as Acting Deputy while I am acting in this Pricipal role. Meg joins us from Everton Park State School and joins us with lots of experience and knowledge to share. I know that you will all make her feel welcome in our school community.

It has been a busy start to the new term with our Year 5/6 students participating in the first of 3 weeks of Gala Sports on Friday. The Year 5/6 students are also attending the Queensland Volleyball Cup this Thursday that was postponed from last term due to rain. Year 3/4 students are enjoying 3 weeks of sporting skills rotations on Fridays from 12:10pm to 3pm. Swimming also started in the first week of school and with the arrival of some hot weather, it won’t take long for the pool to heat up. Mr Woodrick is excited to be back in the pool for swimming lessons in Term 4. We also have our junior and senior swimming carnivals being held in Week 9.

Year 3 has an exciting excursion planned for Nudgee Beach coming up in Week Four; and Year 1 have two incursions for Fire Education including a fire truck visit on the oval! Book Fair will be held again this term from Friday 7^th November to Wednesday 12^th November with purchasing available until late for parents on Monday 10^th November. The Student Leadership process for aspiring Year 5s will begin in Week 3 with a series of workshops and applications to be submitted. We have our 2026 preps visiting for their three transition mornings starting on Friday 7^th November. There is so much happening in Term Four – and I haven’t even mentioned Graduation, Enoggera’s Got Talent, Arts on Stage, Xmas Carols, Strings Music Fest, Day for Daniel, Roll Up afternoon and the Principal’s Awards Assembly!!

I am looking forward to an amazing term of learning and celebrations!

LEARNING CURVE WELLBEING PROGRAM

The Learning Curve focus this week is from the ‘Relationships and Empathy’ category and the wellbeing skill builder is Celebrating Differences. This topic is above ensuring that we understand that everyone in our school community has their own different backgrounds and strengths and to ensure that we value and celebrate these differences, because if we can accept and celebrate other’s differences, we will feel more connected to our school community.

They are working on this topic during their Health lessons and then following up with their class teachers as well as using their ESS Learning Curve diaries. The parent article re this topic is attached for your information.

STAFFING

Mrs Donagh McKenzie (Success Teacher) is on Long Service Leave for all of Term 4. She is being backfilled by Miss Eliza Kelly. Mrs Jacque Egerton has also moved into a Success Teacher role for Term 4 and is being replaced on prep A by Miss Sarah Dionysius, although now she is Mrs McCabe as she was married at the end of Term 3 – congratulations to Sarah! We thank Miss Maddy Cartwright for the wonderful job she has done covering 3A while Mrs Moeser has been travelling. Mrs Moeser returns to school next week. We welcome Miss Tamara Dowling back to school after her Long Service Leave in Term 4. We also welcome Mrs Belinda Gordon who is working as an additional allocation in the Success Team to support inclusion and intervention.

CLASS NEWSLETTERS

A reminder to parents that Class Newsletter and Term Overviews will be emailed out on Friday with important information about your child’s class/es for the term ahead. Please check your junk folders if you haven’t received your email by Friday 4pm.

LATE ARRIVALS AND EARLY DEPARTURE ROUTINE

A friendly reminder that if your chid arrives late to school, they must go to the office to be signed in. They will receive a late slip to give to their teacher as confirmation they have been marked on the roll. We kindly ask parents not to take their child directly to the classroom or pick them up from there, as this can be disruptive to teaching and learning.

For Prep and Year 11 students who arrive late and sign in at the office, staff will supervise them as they enter their classrooms via the back of the office. Students in year 2 to 6 are expected make their way to class independently. The same procedures apply for early departures. If you need to collect your child before the end of the day, please come to the office to sign them out. The office will then call your child to meet you there. To minimise disruption and keep students safe, we ask all parents to follow these routines which help maximise teaching time and ensure everyone’s safety.

2026 CLASS PREFERENCE FORMS

Please find attached below the class preference form for students for 2025. There is a space on the form to indicate if your students will be returning to ESS for 2026 and if so, this is an opportunity to reflect on this year and indicate a preference of the style of class and teacher that would suit your students better and there is also a place to indicate students you would prefer they be placed with or not for next year. These forms will need to be returned to the administration office (not class teachers) by the end of Week 4- 31^st October, to be considered in the class placement process. We will commence this process with teachers in Week 5. Please be reminded that this is not an opportunity to choose a teacher as at this stage staffing and teacher placements for next year have not been finalised. Whilst we take on board the feedback, of course there is no guarantee that all requests can be actioned, as ultimately, we have to make the best placements conducive to teaching and learning for all students.

PREP 2026 ENROLMENTS AND TRANSITION MORNINGS

A reminder that if you know of families who live in our catchment and are planning to come here next year, please remind them to get their enrolments in asap as we are now planning for the next phase of the process which is the Prep Transition mornings to be held over three Friday mornings from 9am t0 11am on Friday 7^th, 14^th and 21^st November for all enrolled 2026 Prep students. Email reminders around the transition processes will be sent out to all enrolled families next week.

GRADUATION

A reminder that our Graduation Ceremony for our Yr 6 student will be held on Thursday 11^th December at 9:00am in EPAC and this will be followed by the Guard of Honour later in the day at 2:55pm and then the Graduation Dinner will be held that night at the Arana Leagues Club at 6pm. Information will go out shortly to the Yr 6 families with information about the event including the cost of tickets for dinner. There will be a limit on 3 tickets per student to the dinner (graduate and 2 parents) only.

STUDENT WELLBEING OFFICER

Sadly, our Student Wellbeing Officer Alisha Pearson resigned prior to the end of Term 3 as she accepted a position in a school closer to her home. We have managed to secure a replacement Student Wellbeing Officer to join us this term to continue to support students. Dominic Cossens will be working at Enoggera State School on Monday and Friday. He will continue the great work done to support students including Breakfast Club on Friday morning, the AstroTurf Dance Club, Social Skills group and student support. Dominic has a wealth of experience in this role working in this capacity in other school.

Till next time,

Ms Tina Burrows

Acting Principal

Deputy Principal

Thank-you so very much for such a warm welcome to your beautiful School. I have been amazed by the responsible, polite and friendly students and staff that I've had the pleasure of meeting at Enoggera State School so far. I feel very lucky to have Mrs Burrows here to share how everything works for the 10 weeks that I get to be here.

As you may know, I have been at Everton Park State School for over 10 years where I have worked as a class teacher, Master Teacher, Pedagogy Coach and Acting Deputy Principal, I am looking forward to the many events that at Enoggera State School occur during this term. I look forward to meeting you during the Term.

Pillar Practice

Each fortnight at Assembly, a Pillar Practice is shared with staff and students that becomes our focus behaviour for improvement. This fortnight, our Pillar Practice is related to our Learning Pillar, focusing on ‘Being Ready for Learning’ by:

Focussing on the task
Ignoring distractions
Having a go
Asking for help
Listening to the teacher

To do this, (even when you don’t really feel like it!) we are reminding students to use their strategies to help them stay in the Green Zone. Feel free to ask your child which strategies they are using to feel focussed, calm, proud and positive about their learning tasks.

Facebook

You may have noticed that the Term 4 Events are being posted on Facebook. Please click on ‘More’ and then ‘Events’ to see a list of our events for the term.

Applicants are encouraged but not expected to attend leadership workshops with Mrs Burrows and me from Week 3 – Week 6 on Thursday at second break.

As you know, this Term we will be hosting our second annual Enoggera’s Got Talent. Students will be able to nominate, as a group or individually, to perform a talent such as singing, dancing, a magic trick, playing an instrument etc. There will be heats held during lunch times from week 8 and finalists will be announced for the Finals show in Week 10.

STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council has already had their first meeting for the term, bringing lots of interesting ideas to the meeting on behalf of their classes.

The Student Council are busy choosing what they will be spending their money on as their legacy item. They have some fabulous ideas!

This term there will be a celebratory bowling excursion for our student councillors as an acknowledgment the dedication they have demonstrated as student representatives this year. This will be held at the end of Week 6 on Friday 14November.

The Student Council also supports Day for Daniel with a gold coin fundraiser and our ‘Dance for Daniel’ dance party on the AstroTurf with our new Wellbeing Officer Mr Cossens on Friday October 31 at 1:20pm.

Finally, the Student Council will be organising for students to purchase pizza for class parties on Thursday 11December - it's $5 per student (CASH ONLY in a clearly marked envelope with student name and class).

Important: Blue Card changes affecting schools – from 20 Sept 2025

From 20 September 2025, changes to Queensland’s Blue Card system affect how schools engage staff, volunteers, and service providers. Here's what you need to know:

What's Changed?

External providers now need Blue Cards
Anyone delivering education-related services inside the school (e.g. music tutors, sports programs, religious instructors) must hold a Blue Card if children are present.

If they were working before 20 Sept, they have until 20 March 2026 to apply.

Parent volunteer rules clarified
Parents volunteering at school activities don’t need a Blue Card if:

It’s for an activity their own child is involved in
It’s not overnight
They don’t provide intimate care (e.g. toileting)

A Blue Card is required however if these conditions aren’t met.

Non-teaching staff need Blue Cards
Staff like teacher aides, admin, cleaners, and bus drivers must hold a Blue Card, unless they’re registered teachers.

What Should You Do?

Parents – Check if your volunteer activity needs a Blue Card.

Staff – Confirm your Blue Card is current.
Providers – Apply if you're delivering services inside the school.

For more information, visit: qld.gov.au/bluecard

Thanks for helping us keep our school community safe.

WHOLE SCHOOL PIZZA PARTY

The student council will be organising a Pizza Party for the annual class celebration day on Thursday 11^th of December. Students will need to bring $5 cash in a named envelope and with their class, to the office by Friday 28^th November so that we can place the bulk order - please ensure any dietary requirements are also noted on this envelope (flavour choices are not accepted). Students should also bring their lunch box with additional fruit and snacks for during the day.

Pizzas will be delivered to classrooms at approximately 11am during the Pizza Party class party time in the middle session.

QPARENTS – Your Link to School Updates
A friendly reminder to all parents and caregivers: QParents is now our main communication channel for sharing important school information, including permission forms and invoices.

To stay up to date and avoid missing key messages or deadlines, we encourage all families to register for QParents as soon as possible.

Please note: Families who are not registered will need to collect paper copies of forms and notices directly from the school office.

LOST PROPERTY – Now Back After the Holidays!

We’re happy to announce that all lost property items, which were safely stored over the holidays, are now back and available for collection. Our Lost Property area (located just below the administration office, near the uniform shop) is once again ready for you to check for any misplaced items — socks, hats, jumpers, and more.

If your child is missing something, please encourage them to visit the Lost Property area as soon as possible to reclaim their belongings.

A heartfelt thank you again to our wonderful parent volunteers for keeping everything organised — your help is truly appreciated!

Children’s Sleep Matters

Sleep is essential for children’s physical growth, brain development, emotion regulation, immunity, behaviour and learning. Recent research emphasises that inadequate or irregular sleep in childhood is linked not only with short-term issues (e.g., mood, concentration) but also long-term outcomes such as behavioural problems, academic difficulties and even risk factors in adolescence.

Sometimes getting a good night’s sleep is challenging for children due to a range of issues linked to behavioural, psychological or medical concerns.

Here are actionable tips that may help your child get good quality sleep and wake up well rested in the morning.

Set a consistent sleep schedule

Decide on a bedtime and a wake time and aim to stick to it every day (including weekends as much as possible). Every child needs a different amount of sleep, which changes as they age.

Follow a consistent and predictable bedtime routine and be clear with your child about acceptable behaviour.

Create a calming bedtime routine

Avoid all screens (TV/tablet/phone) in the last hour before bed.

An hour before bedtime, dim the lights, turn down noise and use this time for calming activities such as colouring, reading, listening to calming music or having a bath.

Try not to negotiate with your child at bedtime and aim to remain calm and consistent.

Monitor the sleep environment & behaviour

Ensure the sleeping environment is quiet, dark and a comfortable temperature.

The bedroom should be used for sleep only and not study or play if possible.

Consider removing screens and devices from your child or teen’s room before bedtime and overnight.

Special considerations

Even if you think your child is asleep when in bed, realise there may be wake-ups, restless phases or extended times to fall asleep

If your child isn’t doing enough physical activity during the day, they might not be feeling physically tired enough to sleep at night.

Have a satisfying evening meal at a reasonable time – feeling hungry or too full before bed can make it harder for your child to get to sleep

If your child has difficulties (falling asleep, frequent waking, early waking), keep a simple sleep diary for a week: bedtime, wake time, any disruptions.

Model good sleep behaviours yourself (parents’ routines matter).

If you’re worried about major sleep problems (snoring, pauses in breathing, extreme daytime sleepiness, persistent insomnia) consult a paediatric sleep specialist or your GP.

What to watch out for:

difficulty falling asleep (taking > 20–30 minutes to fall asleep regularly)
frequent night wakings or early morning wakings before required wake-time
daytime tiredness, mood changes, reduced concentration, behaviour issues
large variability in sleep times (e.g., weekend late nights / weekday early wakes)

If any of the above persist, especially when combined with other health/behaviour issues → seek professional advice.

Class News - Prep

Prep Teachers,

Emma Enoch, Sarah McCabe, Shalana Rossiter and Amanda Boone

Class News - Year 1

Welcome to our final term of Year One. In English students will enjoy listening to Dreamtime stories and learning how to write a retell as their culminating writing task for the year. Our Science Unit will examine sources of light and sound and end with students creating a musical instrument.

Another exciting event for Term Four is the Fire Education visits by firefighters from our local station. The first visit will focus on fire safety in the home. To support understanding it would be wonderful if parents could have a conversation with your child about the safest route to take through your house in the event of a fire and assign a designated meeting point safely outside.

The second visit will show classes the fire truck, demonstrate some of the equipment and, if we are lucky, allow us to “have a go” of the fire hose!

Looking forward to this and all the other planned school activities after a busy year with lots of learning and progression.

Many thanks to parents for your support throughout the year from all the Year One teachers!

Year 1 Teachers,

Rebecca Nelson, Tanya Prill, Heather Fairfax, Jasmine Hunt

We've kicked off Term 4 with some amazing Musical Auditions. We've had over 90 students in Grades 3 - 5 register to audition or express interest in being a part of our backstage crew. This is incredible! Thank you to all the students who have practised over the holidays and have demonstrated enthusiam in the auditions so far.

Inspirational People in STEM

As per my last newsletter article I am still looking for local Enoggera people currently working in STEM industries (construction, design, engineering, science/s, technologies, computer programming, mathematics) to help with inspirational profiles. Please email me if you know someone or have a person to nominate. During Coding Club, the students will create inspirational profiles with new computer software.

Python Coding

There has been a recent uptake in students learning python (text) coding. I am encouraging python during Coding Club on Wednesdays, second break. Parent/ guardian/s should go to Tynker.com and sign up, using a home email address. There are many great lessons and challenges on Tynker, suitable for Primary school age students. Students are free to login to their Tynker accounts at school and continue their python projects.

Robotic Arm

We have just completed a working clock and robotic arm in Robot Club. There are plenty of kits and building instructions available Tuesday and Thursdays, second break.

Mr Michael Harris

Digital Technologies Teacher

Interschool Sport

Our year 5 & 6 Students participated in the first Friday of Interschool Sport (Gala Sport) last week with two more Fridays to go. Teams participated in Girls Touch, Boys Touch and T20 Cricket. From all accounts, everyone did a great job on what was a very hot day.

Thanks to all the supporting teachers who assisted the students during these activities – including umpiring or refereeing games.

Reminder that all students attending Gala days need to be bringing their school hats, full water bottles, lunch and sunscreen. It is important that they bring suitable lunch items to ensure they are fuelling their bodies throughout the activities.

Year 3 & 4 Sport

Our year 3 & 4 students participated in their first week of our sports skills program. All year 3 & 4 students spent the middle and afternoon session out on the oval and multipurpose court rotating through five separate sports. This will happen while our year 5 & 6 classes are out at Gala sports.

Our focus for the program are the sports that we participate in annually, namely, Volleyball, Touch and T20 Cricket. The fourth and fifth sport, is about playing individual and team games. Again, a massive thanks for the supporting teachers.

During week 1 – students focused on skills for each sport, week 2 will work on additional skills and start introducing modified game play and in week 3 it is planned that they focus more on modified game play.

Tennis

The 2025 ESS Tennis champion is….. Matias C!!!!

Back to back champion. Well done Matias and well done to the runner up, Kieran C.

I hope everyone who participated enjoyed the competition. With over 60 students nominating, its great to see tennis so strong here at ESS.

A big thanks also to Scott from Slice Tennis for providing the draw for us and of course the trophies.

Well done everyone.

Swimming

Swimming has started for this term – thanks to everyone who has been bringing their equipment as needed each week. Another thanks to parents who have been notifying us if their child is unable to participate in swimming.

We are still looking for help from parents in all of our Prep to year 2 space with some classes in more urgent need of help. Thanks so much to those who have already volunteered and are coming along, we can’t do it without you. Any helpers for Prep B would be amazing.

If you are able to help either for one lesson or maybe each week please email aawoo0@eq.edu.au

Adult support in these age groups makes a huge difference to our programs.

A reminder that personal equipment (swim cap, rashie, towel) is required to participate in the swimming program. There are limited numbers of “spare” equipment that is ok to use sometimes, but its important to get in the habit of having everything ready.

Named items of clothing are also essential. There were many lost items last week that could be solved easily if everything was named – yes EVERYTHING!
