Transition to 2025

We have been working hard on drafting class lists for 2025 and are now at the stage of reviewing these lists with class teachers, the inclusion team and admin.

Next week, our students will have an opportunity to meet their 2025 teacher and will bring home a postcard from him or her. If a student is not at school to receive their postcard, it will be emailed to them. This postcard will have a message from the teacher and an invitation to come to an Open Classroom event which takes place on Friday the 24th of January, before the official start of school. 

This transition process has been designed to ensure a smooth transition for all our students and to alleviate nerves.

Parent Reps 2025

In previous years, the school has coordinated a team of Parent Reps; one from each class.

The roll of the Parent Rep has traditionally been to act as a point of contact between class teachers and families. In recent years Class Dojo, Q parents and Schoolzine have evolved, making the need for the extra layer of communication less necessary.

In 2025, the official role of Parent Reps will be more of a coordinator of a whole year cohort communication tool. This is in line with what already exists in most year levels.  The school has received positive feedback about this type of system, as it promotes information sharing and social connection across the cohort.

More information to follow.

Medication Collection 

Message for all students with medication stored at school.

We ask parents please collect their medication before school closes for the year.
We request you attend the administration office between 1:30pm and 3:30pm Friday 13 December.

Or as you collect your child on their last day for those finishing the year early.

ANY MEDICATIONS LEFT AT SCHOOL AFTER 3:30PM FRIDAY 13 DECEMBER WILL BE DISPOSED OF VIA A PHARMACY.

If your child/ren’s medical status changes (e.g. asthma action plan no longer relevant, allergy severity decreased etc.) please inform the school via email firstaid@newfarmss.eq.edu.au 

I am looking forward to a safe and enjoyable end to the year for all students, staff and families.
