Underbool Primary School

FUNDRAISER

The parents and friends have decided to run the picture plate fundraiser again this year. A pack has been ordered hopefully it will arrive before end of term.

We have decided to try keep it simple with just the Picture plates $28

Ceramic mug $22

(meaning you could get both for $50 if you like)

If there is anything specific that you really wanted in another product, please let me know.

As it is a fundraiser, we would love for you to offer it to friends and family to maximise support. Maybe the grandparents might like a keep sake for their place. Or Dad might like a special mug for Father’s Day??

If you can let me know what you need, I can arrange for it to be sent home with your children or alternative pick up arrangements. We thought it might be a lovely school holiday project.

Full payment will be required with return before it can be sent off.  Please contact Lee Brown if you have any questions.

MTHCS

Anyone concerned about symptoms (even a minor sniffle or temperature) is being encouraged to get tested for COVID-19. Please be sure to phone ahead to your local medical clinic at Sea Lake, Ouyen and Underbool for advice and make an appointment.

We can't be too careful when it comes to keeping our health and the safety of our communities.

Get tested if you've got any of these symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Chills or sweats
  • Shortness of breath
  • Loss of sense of smell or taste

 

Please think carefully before you visit any of our MTHCS facilities. In the interests of protecting our community and staff, we have changed some of the access arrangements.

Please don’t be surprised if you can’t get in the usual door, or we need to “buzz” you in. And if you’re not feeling well, call 1800 675 398 for advice (000 if it’s an emergency,).

The best place for info is the DHHS Coronavirus website at https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

 

Local residents are being urged to register their names at medical clinics to receive the flu vaccination this year.

 

As winter sets in, please remember that if you or anyone in your family has cold or flu like symptoms, such as a runny nose or cough, they should stay at home until well.
