Welcome to Mr Tim Wotherspoon
It is with great pleasure that I welcome Mr Tim Wotherspoon to GRPS. Mr Wotherspoon will be teaching Class 4W and leading Stage 2. His extensive experience across a range of settings will be a great asset to our school.
NAPLAN for Years 3 and 5
NAPLAN will commence for all Glenmore Road students in Years 3 and 5 on Wednesday 12 March. All assessments will be online except for Year 3 Writing which will be handwritten. Students will need to have non-wireless headphones as some parts of the test, such as spelling, have an audio component. Please ensure your child is on time for school during this period. If a student is absent for a scheduled assessment they may be able to make it up on another day, providing it is within the test window.
The schedule for assessment will be in next week's newsletter.

Anaphylaxis and Allergies Reminder
At Glenmore Road Public School we have several students who have allergies, some that are life threatening and can result in anaphylaxis. We ask that students do not share their food with others at any time.
If parents are making a purchase from our external lunch provider, we also request that these purchases are made for your child only. Please remind your family members of the importance of not sharing food at school or in the morning or afternoon with students who are not in your care. By following these guidelines, we aim to provide a safe and happy environment for all our students and families.
OC and Selective applications
Just a reminder that OC & Selective placement applications close on Friday 21 February. All relevant information and support is on the Department of Education's website.

Just a reminder that the uniform shop is open every Wednesday morning during term time from 8:30 am to 9:45 am for new uniform sales. Alternatively, uniforms can be purchased via Flexischools and picked up from the school office once you receive a message that your order is ready.
We will be holding a second-hand uniform giveaway during the school term—dates to be confirmed.
Apologies for the current shortage of Size 10 and 12 short-sleeve polos. As soon as they are back in stock, we will send out a notice.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email GRPSuniformshop2024@gmail.com.

2025 Kindy Offer
Each new kindy is entitled to 2 FREE Cottage sessions! After you make your next two bookings, we will apply a 100% discount. If you would like to redeem this offer, please send us an email once you’ve booked in to ensure the discount gets applied!
If your child already has permanent/recurring bookings and you would like this to be applied to your existing spots, please let us know.
Thank you so much for all the interest so far! If you’re a Kindy parent and you’re unsure about what the Cottage has to offer, please feel free to get in contact with us at any time.
Extra-Curricular Activities
At The Cottage, we’re committed to keeping children engaged in all that GRPS has to offer. That’s why we assist with taking children to and from their before- and after-school extracurricular activities—so long as they take place on the GRPS campus!
If your child is booked into a session but needs to attend one of these classes, please email us for a copy of our Extra-Curricular Form!
For once-off bookings (not regular), just an email stating the pick-up/drop-off time suffices.
Unsupervised Senior Sign-out
The Cottage recognizes the importance of fostering independence and responsibility in our Year 5 & 6 students. If you are interested in allowing your child to walk home from Cottage, we offer this option after both parent and child have agreed to the terms of our Unsupervised Senior Sign-Out Agreement.
Your child’s safety is our number one priority – we will remind your child of the safety precautions each time they leave. However, it is up to you to assess if your child is ready for this level of responsibility.
If you are interested in this, please email us for more details! The agreement will need to be read and signed by both yourself, your child and a Cottage representative.

Our P&C's AGM will be held on Wednesday 26th February at 6.45pm at the Four In Hand. All positions will be declared vacant and we are looking for parents to step up to the plate. We need a new President!
GRPS needs a functioning P&C to continue the efforts of our team, to ensure P&C raised funds stay at GRPS and for The Cottage to continue. Without a P&C, it will be challenging to best use our funds to support students and The Cottage will go out to tender.
