Visit by Registered Nurse for Free Prep Vision Screening
Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social development. Vision screening checks for common eye conditions that may impact your child’s ability to see and therefore impact their learning and development. A Registered Nurse will be visiting the school on the 24th and 25th August to conduct vision screening for children in their prep year. If you wish to have your prep child participate in this free vision screening program, please complete and sign the consent form that has been sent home with your child this week and return this to your child’s class teacher by Wednesday the 29th of July. Parents do not need to be present for screening, however if you would like to be, please contact the school to arrange this.
If your child’s vision is screened, you will be advised of the results in writing. If a vision concern is found, you will receive a phone call from the nurse to discuss referral to an eye health professional for further assessment. If a vision concern is identified and your child requires glasses, eligible health care card holders may be assisted with free basic glasses through the Spectacle Supply Scheme.
Participation in vision screening is not compulsory. If you do not wish for your child to participate in screening, please complete the consent form and indicate that you wish to decline screening. If you have any questions, please contact the Primary School Nurse Health Readiness Program on 1800 687 372.
Term 3 School Fees
Term 3 School Fees will be issued in Week 3 of this term. All school fee accounts are emailed home to the nominated fee payer. This will be the final school fee account issued for 2020.
School Banking
School Banking is resuming this term. If your child is a keen saver and was previously using our School Banking programme to deposit their savings, St Saviour's Primary will be accepting bank deposits again. The banking day will remain on Tuesday of each week. Children can deliver their bank deposit books directly to the office or via their class teacher first thing in the morning. Any deposit books that get handed in late or after the banking has been processed will have their deposits held over to the following Tuesday. If anyone is interested in becoming a school banker, please contact the office for more information.
