• Parent Teacher Interviews

We will be holding our parent teacher meetings in term 3 this year.  You will receive a report card as normal at the end of term 2 and will have an opportunity to discuss the report card at the meeting.  Date claimers will be sent out soon.

• Uniform Reminders
• As the weather begins to cool, it’s a good opportunity to buy your child his/her school jumper. Although students can wear other jumpers and jackets to school our school jumpers are the only ones to be worn at school.
• School shoes need to be predominantly black.

• Harmony Parade

On Friday we will be having a short parade to celebrate the diversity at New Farm State school.  Students have been invited to walk behind the flag of a country or culture they identify with.  They are also welcome to wear the national dress from that culture or wear orange.

Parents are invited to attend the parade which will begin at 9.30 a.m.  Our students will meet with flag bearers, on the oval at 9.15 a.m. and walk down the steps and across the netball court to the hall.  The best vantage point will be on the netball court, just before 9.30 a.m.  In the event of rain, the children will line up in the D block area and walk to the hall.

Active Travel School Project

We are excited to announce that New Farm State School is now a part of The Active School Travel (AST) program.  This council run program offers Brisbane primary schools a suite of free resources, tools and incentives to enable students, parents, carers and teachers to leave the car at home and actively travel to school. It’s all about creating healthier, more active students and families, increasing road safety awareness, safer streets and continuing to tackle traffic congestion.

The award-winning three-year program promotes road safety and sustainable and healthy travel options such as walking, riding, scootering, carpooling and public transport.
