Student/Parent News
About 6 months ago Rosie said to her mum, “I want to shave my head for cancer”.
Her mum asked her why she wanted to do it in which Rosie responded by saying that she was feeling bad for people that have cancer and wanted to make difference.
What an incredible young and very brave girl. As a school community let's support Rosie to raise awareness and much needed funds for this worthy cause.
Please find her link below.

The date of the shave is the 18th March.
MEDICATION
Please ensure any changes to medication have been advised to front office staff and that current in-date medication and consent forms have been provided to the front office.
ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION
A reminder that all medication (including inhalers, creams and tablets) must be handed into the Front Office to ensure both their safe administration and the safety of all children. Consent forms, which are available on our website or from the Front Office, should accompany the medication. Similarly, any updated Asthma or Anaphylaxis Action Plans should also be handed into the Front Office so that they can be added to the Student Files.
Qkr! Reminder
Parents can update each child's Student Profile on Qkr! by changing the child's year level to reflect their 2022 class. This will ensure all payments are correctly processed for each child.
Kindergarten Healthchecks
An envelope was sent home to parents via the notebags for kindergarten students with a questionnaire that must be returned by Friday 25 February at the latest.
The School Health Registered Nurses will visit St Matthew’s primary school during 2022.
Cyber Safety
Our school commences each year by asking our students to commit to the safe use of online resources.
Last Tuesday was Safer Internet Day. To mark the occasion one of our parents forwarded the following link which is a free resource from the eSafety Commissioner. I recommend it you for your information.
All families have received their log in details via email for our new Compass Parent Portal. The Compass Parent Portal is an online portal that allows you to interact with the school and access up-to-date information. The Skoolbag app will be discontinued at the end of this year. Once you have your log-in credentials and download the app, you’ll be able to:
- Enter absence notes for your child
- Give consent for excursions
- View school reports
- Communicate with your child’s teacher
- Book parent-teacher interviews
- Receive communication from staff
If you didn’t receive log in details, please contact our Front Office (office.stmatts@cg.catholic.edu.au) or check your “junk” mailbox.
