Butterscotch Scrolls with Debbie and Amber
The students took turns mixing ingredients, spreading the butterscotch filling, and rolling up the scrolls before popping them into the oven. Everyone was very excited to taste their creations once they were baked to golden perfection!
A big thank you to Debbie and Amber for sharing their time and skills with us. It was another fun and tasty cooking session enjoyed by all!
Try this quick and easy scroll recipe at home, they are delicious!

Forthcoming Events
Remembrance Day 2025
On Monday the 11th of November, our school stopped to pay respect to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Although the ceremony was originally planned to take place outdoors, the rain meant that we held the commemoration over th PA system instead.
Some of our Grade 6 students did a wonderful job leading the service. They read poems, shared the history and meaning of Remembrance Day, and guided everyone through the minute of silence. The Last Post played through the speakers as students and staff across the school paused to reflect.

SWPBS Focus: Sharing Space & Equipment |
| The importance of regular school attendance |
At Karingal Heights Primary School, we prioritise regular school attendance. We will work with families to ensure students are in class with their peers and teachers and enjoying all the benefits that brings. Attending school every day means experiencing what counts – the learning, friendship, fun and opportunities that can shape your child’s future. This year to date, students at our school have missed on average 20+ days of school. This equates to over 2 terms over the 7 years of primary schooling. We understand that there are times when your child will need to miss school but to ensure minimal disruption to their education, please consider scheduling family holidays or medical/dental appointments outside of school time. If your child is well enough to attend but is worried about friendships, schoolwork or exams, please encourage them to come to school. Avoiding school can make these feelings worse and can create a negative pattern of behaviour. If your child is having difficulty attending school, talk to their teacher or Victoria Freeman our Wellbeing Coordinator about getting support. We know that parents and carers can be juggling challenges daily to get your children to school. If your child must miss school, notify us as soon as possible via the absence line 97893288 so we can work together to support them. For more information about the importance of everyday attendance, see Attendance and Missing School. Remember, Every Day Counts. |
