STUDENT MEDICATION

We understand that, from time to time, students need to take medication while they are at school. If so, please contact the Admin Office to complete a Medication Administration Form.

All medication must be delivered to the office in its original packaging. If it has been prescribed by your GP, the pharmacy labeling on the packaging must include your child's name.

Please note: We will make every effort to help you with medication administration. Wherever possible, medication should be scheduled outside school hours. For example, medication required three times a day is generally not required during a school day: it can be taken before and after school and before bed.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

We understand, and are aware that our school uniform retailer, Beleza, has recently experienced shortages and stock ordering issues with some of our school uniforms core items. Beleza have confirmed that they will communicate with us as soon as items have been received, and we will notify families so that we can aim to have all students in full school uniform as soon as possible.

Long pants, Long Sleeve Polo Shirt, V-neck Windcheater, Navy Socks, Black Shoes/Runners or Boots.

Polar Fleece Hat - optional.

Option 2

Runners

* At Columba we ask that all shoes be black shoes. They can be leather or black runners, as long as they are all black and do not have white soles. We recommend leather shoes as our grounds can be wet and leather shoes keep the children's socks dryer. ALL black shoes are okay.

We ask that student be in uniform which includes socks and shoes. In the coming weeks staff will be communicating with parents if uniforms are not in order. Please contact your child's classroom teacher if for any reason your child needs to be out of uniform.

Primary School Disco Date Change!

Dear Families,

Please note that the date for our upcoming Primary School Disco has been changed to Thursday, July 31st.

This change was necessary due to conflicting dates and to ensure we have adequate staff and equipment available to make the disco a fantastic and safe event for all our students.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. We're really looking forward to a fun Thursday night in July with all our primary students!
