SCHOOLPIX SCHOOL PHOTOS
Due to the extension of stage 4 restrictions for Melbourne suburbs and the phased return to school learning in Term 4 declared by the Victorian Government, our annual Schoolpix School Photos have been postponed and cannot take place on Friday 16th October as previously advised.
TERM 4 UNIFORM
The wearing of the St Ita's Summer Uniform commences in Term 4.
Due to the unpredictable weather conditions during October & due to the shortage of some uniform supplies from Beleza, either the full Summer or full Winter uniform is permitted to be worn during Term 4. (please do not mix and match).
Please make sure all students are wearing black school shoes daily (with no visible/colourful logos) except for your child's class PE day, when the Sport Uniform with white socks and runners are to be worn instead.
All students must wear a school hat with logo to/from school and during outside activities, no matter which uniform is worn, during term 4. All students with long hair must tie their hair neatly back using our school colours: red, white, blue or black.
If your child is to be out of uniform, please send a note or dojo to the class teacher advising a reason why.
The school office does have some second-hand uniform items for sale. Please enquire via email. admin@stidrouin.catholic.edu.au

NUT ALLERGY AWARENESS
A reminder to all parents that St Ita’s is a nut free environment. We have several students in our school with a severe food allergy including anaphylaxis to nuts. This is a medical condition that causes a severe / even fatal reaction to specific foods. These reactions can be triggered by contact, ingestion or inhalation.
We ask all parents to refrain from sending nuts or nut products in their children’s lunch and snack. This includes Nutella, peanut butter and nuts contained in cakes or snack bars. We thank you for supporting us as we look to keep all children in our school safe, healthy and well.
SCHOOL BUSES 2021
A reminder to parents that will require the Drouin school bus services next year, in 2021, if you haven't already registered your interest or applied to travel on the school bus, to please do so this week. This is for new bus travellers only and not existing bus travellers.
Please register your intentions directly with Elisa Fitzsimmons, the Transport Officer at Drouin Secondary College via email or telephone. p: 5625 -1002 ext 383 or email Elisa.Fitzsimmons@education.vic.gov.au.
