It is preferred that parents administer medication to their children however, from time to time children may require medication to be administered whilst at school. In accordance with the School’s Medication Procedure, a Medication Authorisation Form must be completed and signed by the parent prior to any medication being administered. All medication sent to school must be labelled, in its original packaging and brought directly to the office.

The Parents and Friends Association (P&F) provides a network for parents to participate in activities and decision making processes at Queen of Peace Parish Primary School. It works to benefit our children, the school and our community. Some of its many functions include:

- members helping to organise the school maintenance
- other roles and duties as the needs arise
Meetings are held once a term, on a Monday evening at 7pm. Dates are advertised in the school Newsletter and the school’s google Community Calendar. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Notes from the P&F
General Meetings
The P&F holds General Meetings, chaired by the President or Vice-President, who are supported by a Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising Officer, Social and Pastoral Officer and Gardens and Grounds Officer. Each of these Executive Committee Members, and all Ordinary Members, have the opportunity to attend the meetings and report on and/or discuss any pertinent issues.
Please note that all parents and carers at QoP are automatically Ordinary Members of the P&F and your ideas, thoughts and opinions are valued. P&F meetings are a great forum to have an open, honest and considerate discussion between parents, carers and the leadership of the School.
Come along and meet some friends you haven’t met yet! You will also get the chance to have a chat to the Principal and the Executive Committee.
Meeting Dates
As we are currently governed by Stay at Home Restrictions, we cannot hold any events and have cancelled Term 3’s P&F meeting. When we are again allowed to run events, we will communicate this via future newsletters/CareMonkey. In the meantime, all the best with remote learning and stay safe.
Kind regards,
Maureen Puopolo
P&F President
Plans, Reports & Policies
Uniform
All children who attend Queen of Peace are required to wear the approved school uniform appropriately. This includes on the way to and from school. The uniform should be worn neatly as it is an indication of pride in the school. Please refer to the School Uniform Policy.
Queen of Peace Uniform Shop is located in the foyer of the Sports Hall, however no counter sales can be offered for the time being. Please check the google Community Calendar for future opening hours or send enquiries to uniform@qopaltonameadows.com.au. Orders may be placed online via QuickCliq, or click on ‘Order online’ button. We would prefer not take EFTPOS orders over the counter in the office, to restrict non-essential visits to the school.
Queen of Peace is a SunSmart school and all children are required to wear school hats (sunglasses are now optional) from September to the end of April.
