School Notice Board - 24th February 2023
| School Review Parent and Carers Meeting | |
 | Every four years, schools need to undertake a review and it is our turn. You are invited to attend a Parents and Carers Meeting to discuss Karingal Heights Primary School with some of the reviewing panel. This is your chance to express your thoughts about us. This will help us think about improvements we can make. Please come and join the panel on Tuesday 28th February at 2:30pm in the Playgroup Room. All parents and carers are welcome. |
| Please Read-Important Notice | |
 | We have a number of children across the school who have an allergy to products containing nuts. To assist us with their care we are asking that products containing nuts are not brought to school for snack or lunch by any child. Thank your for your cooperation. |
| Anxious Kids with Dr Jodi Richardson | |
| Our local school parents and carers are very lucky to be able to attend a presentation by Dr Jodi Richardson titled 'Moving kids from anxiety to resilience'. This is a free presentation at McClelland College to be held on Wednesday 1st March at 5:30pm. Please take a look at the flyer as I am sure, many of you will be interested. It is not too late to register. Anxious Kids |  |

| There are many families who have not put in their forms to claim CSEF. Please see Pauline in the office for assistance, especially if you are unsure if your are eligible. Do not wait until it is time to make camp payments as it will be too late. |  |
| CAMP | |
