We are celebrating attendance at Goulburn Public School with our ‘GOOD TO SEE YOU’ days.

Children who attend school on these days are rewarded with a treat, extra play or special activity.

At the end of this term there will be a special reward for children who have attendance above 90%.

To borrow books from the Library all students need a library bag. This is important to keep library books safe while travelling to and from school and from Lunch box mishaps. An recyclable shopping bag or pillowcase are some great options. Please make sure your child's name is clearly labelled on their library bag. 

When a medical practitioner has prescribed medication that must be administered during the school day, parents/carers must:

• notify the school
• provide up to date information as required
• supply the medication and any 'consumables' necessary for its administration in a timely way.
• Must be supplied in a blister/webster pack or original packaging with a prescription label attached. 
• Parents/carers of children who require prescribed medication to be

administered at school must complete a written request document.

Students must not carry medications and medications are to be delivered to the office by parents/carers or the chemists.  

Schools generally don’t administer medication that hasn’t been requested for an individual student’s specific condition. In some cases the medical practitioner may not write a prescription for such medication because it may be available 'over the counter'. NSW Health advises that ‘over the counter’ medication may still be harmful and that schools should follow the same procedures for non-prescribed medications as for prescribed medications.

For further information, please contact the school office. 

Have you moved house? Do you have a new phone number or email address?

There has been a bit of confusion when paying for certain events/activities/uniforms online.

The school events and activities are separate to the P&C run uniform shop. 

If you are purchasing uniforms – this is to be paid to the P&C account – their details are on their price lists. 

All other payments to the school for excursions/activities/sports etc are to be paid to the school account which the link is found on our school website.

https://goulburn-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/

then go to: MAKE A PAYMENT

There has been lots of mixed payments and it is making it difficult to reconcile accounts.  If you are unsure at all, please call the office on 48212827, and we can confirm for you.

We do not want any student to miss out on any activity due to payment not being received.
