PRINCIPAL'S NEWS

How is Rawlinson Primary School Funded?

Government funding for Rawlinson Primary School is calculated in the first three weeks of the school year by counting the number of students who turn up for school.

Enrolment at the school is not part of this calculation, if you are not at school you are not counted.

A large portion of our students travel overseas during the Christmas period and do not return until week 4.  We miss out on being funded for them.

If you are going on holiday and won't be back until week 4, 22nd February 2021, it is essential that we know and have written confirmation that you are on holidays, but will be returning to Rawlinson Primary School late.

With written confirmation, we can count your children and the school will be funded for the year to have them here.  Please give this letter to either your child's current teacher or to the office stating that you are on holidays and the date you will return.

Much appreciated.

CANTEEN NEWS

Change to Canteen Ordering for 2021

In 2021, Rawlinson students will have lunch at 11am and afternoon recess at 1.40pm.  To enable the canteen to prepare lunches in time, the following changes will need to be made for 2021:

·  The daily cut-off time for Qkr orders will be 7.30am

·  The special of the day will need to be ordered via Qkr, or over the counter the day before.  (If you order over the counter on the day, you can choose from the everyday and sandwiches range, but not the specials)

·  A range of snacks will be available to order for recess.  Recess items will be delivered to your child with their lunch - they can keep them aside for afternoon recess time.

·  The canteen will not be open for afternoon recess.

We look forward to continuing to provide tasty, healthy lunches from Tuesday to Friday each week in 2021!
