Mother’s Day

To celebrate Mother’s Day we would love all of the important ladies in the children’s lives to join us in the Preschool from 9-9.30am on Friday 7 May. We invite you to join in activities and music lessons with the children and teachers.

Parking

Parking around the school can be problematic, especially around pick up time. To ease congestion and ensure the safety of our students, the Preparatory School uses a carline that enables parents to collect their children from the underground carpark from 2.45pm each day. We therefore ask Redlands House families to refrain from parking in the 5 minute Parking Zone outside the Preschool from 2.45pm onwards. Families are still able to park for 5 minutes out the front of Redlands House between 2.30–2.45pm. Cones will be placed on the road at 2.45pm, not before, in order to prepare for the Preparatory Car Line.

Allergies

Please remember that we are an ‘Allergy Friendly Centre’ (ie allergy aware) and have a number of children with serious allergies. Therefore, we ask that any food your child brings to Preschool does not contain nuts or traces of nuts, egg or shellfish. We have a number of resources containing nutritious and well-balanced lunch box ideas available in our parent library in the foyer for inspiration. This year we have children enrolled who are at risk to Anaphylaxis in response to the following items:

  • Peanuts and all tree nuts
  • Chickpeas
  • Coconut
  • Eggs
  • White fish
  • Sesame

Food Breaks in the Preschool

Just a reminder that each child has 3 breaks for food in the preschool each day – Crunch and Sip, Morning Tea and Lunch.

Crunch and Sip is a small fruit or vegetable snack that is accessible to the children, along with their drink bottle.  Please place the container in the wire basket at the door of your child’s classroom.

Morning Tea and Lunch are stored in separate containers in the big fridge in the foyer. Each class has a fridge door to open. Morning Tea containers are kept in the class basket in the fridge and lunch boxes are stored on the shelf.

CHAPLAIN
