Please be aware that a case of chicken pox has been reported at the school in the Pre-primary area.
Chicken pox is a common, acute, viral infection. Symptoms include fever, fatigue and a generalised rash characterised by small vesicles (blisters) that rupture to form crusts. The infectious period is from 2 days before the rash appears to 5 days after, when all vesicles have formed crusts. Non-immune pregnant women should see their doctor urgently as immunisation may prevent chicken pox in contacts within 5 days of exposure. Once all vesicles have crusted, the child may return to school.
Please see your GP if you have any concerns.
Miss May and Mr Griffiths are running after school soccer sessions again this term. Please see the attached letter for further information.
We have been informed that there will be some construction work occurring at 70 Banksia Tce next week. While the owners are doing what they can to minimise any inconvenience to the community there may be some issues on Bankisa Tce between Fourth Ave and View Street. You might like to avoid this area if you can or be aware and patient. Visibility around trucks might be an issue along with access to the footpath on the opposite side of Banksia Tce to the school, for example. The deputies and principal will be on duty before and after school at the kiss and wave but bear in mind that they have no jurisdiction over what happens outside the school grounds.

Parents are encouraged to use the online ordering system if you require items before the next shop opening time and delivery of these items will continue to be relatively quick.
Many thanks for your understanding. Please email kensingtonpspc@gmail.com with any uniform related queries.
Yesterday afternoon, all reports were emailed unless no email address has been supplied to the school.
Please be aware that the links contained within the email will remain available for four weeks only. Please ensure you download and save a copy or print the report during this time.
A reminder for parents that if you wish to purchase a faction shirt in time for the cross country you will need to put an order in ASAP. Please either place an order online or go and see the ladies in the uniform shop.
To all Parents:
We have become aware of an email circulating in this area regarding an incident involving a student from Como Secondary being approached by a man offering lollies. The principal let the schools surrounding Como Secondary know of this situation, so some of you might have heard about this. I have asked the teachers to have a conversation with their classes about “stranger danger” in general and how to deal with it if someone approaches them. However, we will not be discussing the specifics of the Como case as we do not want to make students fearful of white cars or greying men etc. We encourage you to discuss these sorts of situations with your child and perhaps role-play appropriate responses.
This is an example of the emails that have been circulated:
“Dear parents,
“The principal of Como Secondary College, Digby Mercer, alerted the school today with respect to a suspicious man who attempted to have a student get into his car this morning on Jackson Road, on the southern boundary of the Collier Park Golf Course.
“The man offered the student sweets and was very persistent. He is described as Caucasian, in his late 40’s or 50’s and his hair was turning grey. He was in a white Toyota Corolla and was wearing a dark, tatty jumper.
“The police have requested that if he approaches a student that the student is to firmly say no, take the registration number if the child is able, and then contact the Police on 000”.
Thanks
Bronwyn Jones
Principal
A new skirt is available from the uniform shop for $18. Please see the attached picture or to view see notice board outside staff room.
The uniform commitee are happy to announce the launch of their new online ordering system. All information regarding online ordering is available under the Uniforms tab of the school website or you can refer to the "Uniform Shop online ordering information" document available under the School Documents tab of your Smartlink school app. Full information regarding the new system for ordering uniforms will be outlined in tomorrow's newsletter under P&C News.
