Mobile Phone Ban for 2024
Starting from 2024, Queensland state primary schools will enforce a mobile phone ban as a measure to enhance student focus and well-being. This initiative aims to minimize distractions and promote a positive learning environment. The ban applies during school hours, restricting the use of mobile phones on school grounds, including breaks and lunchtime. Students will be required to store their devices securely and retrieve them at the end of the day. This move aligns with research suggesting reduced screen time improves academic performance and social interactions. By fostering a technology-free learning space, Queensland state primary schools aspire to create a more engaging and productive educational experience for all students.
School Opinion Survey
Thank you to all of those who have already completed the Parent/Caregiver Survey. If you have not had a chance to complete the survey yet, please note that the online surveys will remain open until Friday, 18 August 2023. This is your opportunity to provide feedback about what our school does well and how we can improve. To have your say, check your email for an invitation from the Department of Education titled School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2023. Can’t find your invitation? If your family has more than one parent/caregiver, check that they haven’t received the invitation and/or check your junk email folder.

Prep Enrolments 2024
We have had a number of tours and Prep information sessions this year. What most impressed us were the questions parents had about how our Runcorn family operates. Our staff are always keen to share what they love about this hidden treasure of a school and we look forward to welcoming you all to our Prep enrolment interviews.
If you haven’t picked up your enrolment pack yet they are available at the office.
Please share the word about our wonderful school with any family, friends and neighbours. If you know someone with a child ready for Prep next year and they’re wanting to know more about our wonderful school, please encourage them to call the office and make an appointment for a school tour and conversation. We are always happy to show off our amazing school and what it can offer to the children of our community.

Norman's News
This “pawtnight” not only have I been working hard at all my usual jobs at Runcorn, have had a much needed pamper and haircut at PawsOnly Grooming, and have been out and about exercising with Mrs MacNamara and Oso, but I also decided I would become a “researcher” and “communicator” and present you with 10 interesting facts about dogs!
- There are hundreds of different breeds of dogs and around 400 million dogs in the world. Dogs are also the most popular pet on the planet!
- Dogs have earned the nickname “man’s best friend.” (at Runcorn we know it’s “student’s best friend”!)
- The largest breeds of dog in the world are the Great Dane, Irish wolfhound, Scottish Deerhound, Neapolitan Mastiff, English Mastiff, Anatolian shepherd, Dogue de Bordeaux, Leonberger, and Boerboel. The smallest dog breed is the Chi. (I am somewhere in between – but look much “thinner” since having my hair cut!)
- The oldest dog who ever lived was a cattle dog from Australia named Bluey who lived to be 29 years and 5 months old.
- A dog’s nose print is unique; it is similar to human fingerprints in that no two are the same.
- Dalmatian puppies are born completely white and develop their spots as they grow. (This is so cool!)
- Dogs dream just like humans do. (You all know my dreams involve food!!)
- Dogs only sweat from their paws, and have to cool down by panting.
- A dog is as smart as a 2-year-old child and can recognize between 100-150 words and gestures.
- Dogs should not eat raisins, grapes, onion, chocolate, or garlic because it makes them sick.
Hopefully these facts might lead to some more “thinking”. Please let Mrs Schooth and I know if you find out any more interesting information about dogs – maybe you’ll read some more fascinating facts during the up-coming Runcorn Readathon!
Until next time, Big licks and tail wags,
Norman
From the Head of Department - Curriculum
‘The more that you read, the more things you’ll know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.’
- Dr. Seuss
During Weeks 6,7 and 8 of this term (14th August – 1st September 2023), Runcorn State School in conjunction with Runcorn State School P&C are running the inaugural Runcorn Readathon and we’d love your child to join in!
The purpose of this Readathon is to encourage any reluctant readers to give reading a go and keen readers to read more widely… all while raising some funds for our great school! Students can choose whatever they want to read - from comics to classics and audiobooks to blogs - they are not being assessed, it’s all about reading for fun! And, as an added incentive, there will be vouchers for our BOOK FAIR awarded for the student with the highest funds raised in each year level, as well as a Pizza Party for the class that raises the most funds!
Students should keep track of what they are reading on the purple reading log form and are encouraged to seek sponsorship from friends and family for their efforts!
The money that is raised in sponsorship will help to make the Blue Room in the Student Resource Centre a more student friendly learning space. It is hoped that the funds raised will enable us to purchase and build a resource bank to utilise the technology capabilities (more green screen props, storage for props and green screen, charging stations etc) and to create a ‘special’ reading nook where students will be able to chill out whilst emerging themselves in their favourite books.
All you have to do is:
- Take a look at what your child plans to read, or help them complete their list of books read. Remember students can read whatever they want: books, e-books, poetry, comics – anything goes! Sharing books is fine too (in fact recommended!) as well as listening to audio books. Record this information on the purple reading log form. Students may also want to record ‘books’ that they have read at school during this time. This tracking tool will be helpful if students are receiving sponsorship per book.
- Help your child find sponsors among family and friends. This information should be collated on the blue donations form. Sponsors can donate $1 for a ‘short’ text (e.g. picture book, poem), $5 for a ‘long’ text (e.g. novel, graphic novel, magazine) or can make a lump sum donation. Please return this form with your funds raised. All money collected will need to be deposited via FLEXISCHOOLS under the READATHON tab, or alternatively cash can be deposited into the slot in the office in an envelope which is CLEARLY MARKED with your child’s name, class and READATHON. All funds raised will need to be returned to school by Wednesday 6th September 2023. One off donations can also be deposited online or by cash.
Reading Log and Donation Forms are being sent home this week!

Year 6 Camp
Departure Sunday 23rd July
Camp was great fun, departure was on Sunday night, 6:30 pm. Everyone was nervous but excited at the same time but we all knew it was going to be a great and exciting time. All of us were nervous to leave our families with the thought of being in a whole entirely different state for 5 entire days. We took little stops throughout the night. During those stops everybody looked very tired as they probably were!
At Sydney Monday 24th July
It was raining when we arrived in Sydney. We drove over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to a place where we stopped and had a little snack then went to explore the Sydney Opera House. After we explored and took photos, we took a ferry to Taronga Zoo. The ferry was fun and large, it was cool on the inside. When we arrived at Taronga Zoo and we saw monkeys at the place where we entered. We then headed to the Koala exhibit. After the koala exhibit, we headed into the reptile exhibit and saw many animals, such as lizards, turtles, snakes, and many more. It was a cool experience as we saw the world’s most venomous snake, and the world’s largest snake. We then watched an amazing seal performance with many wonderful and unique tricks. We had dominoes for lunch at an outside seating area. We were surrounded by birds and many birds came close and almost stole our pizza. After pizza, we departed for Canberra. My bus buddy and I were excited but weren’t excited for the drive, it was a 4-hour bus ride to Canberra which ending up being alright.
At Canberra Monday 24th July
The drive there wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be, we arrived at accommodation (Cabins) and took showers. My cabin only consisted of 4 people so we showered pretty quickly. We left our cabins to go to dinner. We had chicken and other side dishes. After dinner we went back into our cabins and had a cosy night in. Lights out was at 9:30, we then went to bed and had good sleeps in comfy beds which we hadn’t been in for 2 days.
Canberra Tuesday 25th July
We woke up the next morning and went for breakfast and we had bacon and eggs with spaghetti on toast. We then went back and grabbed our gear ready for the da. We saw kangaroos off in the distance. We got on the bus and went off to go to the Embassies and High Commissions. There were many different Embassies with different styles of buildings and flags. After driving by the Embassies and high Commissions, we drove over to the National Museum of Australia and then had a little morning tea snack. We went inside of the National Museum of Australia and saw iconic Australian things. After a tour, we got back into a bus and headed off to go to the Parliament House, we had pies for our lunch, they were amazing. After lunch we went inside the new Parliament House and saw a lot of interesting designs. We participated in a roleplay of Parliament and then left. We then travelled to old Parliament House and went into the Senate and saw costumes, old compared to new. We then drove back to the accommodation and had showers and went to dinner. For dinner we had sausages and mashed potatoes with peas. Then Mr France got us lost in the middle of the campsite in the cold. He was trying to find the room where we would watch a movie, but turns out we didn’t know where it was. After a bit of travelling in the dark, we finally found it. The 3 choices of movies were, Little Rascals, Shrek, and Paper Planes. We watched Little Rascals and it was a very funny movie.
Canberra Wednesday 26th JUly
We woke up and had bacon, eggs, and spaghetti on toast once again. We departed to go to the royal Australian Mint, after the Royal Australian Mint, we had morning tea outside of the building. Then moved over to the National Gallery of Australia. We saw many different paintings. We also saw a painting of Ned Kelly and a bunch of bushrangers. After that, we went over to the Commonwealth Park and had lunch. We had sandwiches; we were surrounded by many big black swans. The swans would follow us a lot, John was really scared and would run away if it came close because he had a bad experience with swans when he was younger. After, we went to see how Canberra was designed and we were able to design our own capital city in the National Capital Exhibition. We also saw a small model of Canberra and how it came to be. We then went to the Arboretum where there was a giant playground. The giant playground was so fun. John, Kevin, Raymond and Ivan sat on top of the giant A-corn that led to a huge slide. We made random noises when kids came up, and they couldn’t see us because of the angle and height we were on. Eventually It had been an hour or so, Raymond said: What if they left us already? I hopped down and looked down the window, and I saw them in a line leaving the playground. I told them to get down there and we nearly hit 5 kids going down. We made it to the line and didn’t get lost luckily. After that, we took a 30-minute drive to go over to the Australian Institute of Sport. It was super fun at AIS and I bought some souvenirs to remind myself of the experience. There were many activities to do, basketball, wheelchair races, biking races, and many more. We drove back to accommodation after we left, we had dinner the second we arrived. After dinner, we went into our cabins to tidy it up as we would depart tomorrow. There was also a challenge for the cleanest cabins, Cabin 5 and 8 won. After cleaning our cabins, we got soft drinks and played card games. Afterwards, we went to bed excited to go home finally.
Canberra Thursday 27th July
Waking up was very exciting, as everyone knew today, we would finally depart for Brisbane. We had breakfast at accommodation for the last time, then packed up our gear for the bus ride to Brisbane. We would do a few more activities before we would officially be headed home. We drove over to the electoral education office so we could learn how elections worked and even voted on won ourselves. Then went over to go to Cockington Green. Cockington Green was a mini village it was a recreation of another village in England but in a small version. We then had lunch, and drove off to go to Questacon. There were so many activities, science and natural disaster related, then we headed to the gravity drop. The gravity drop was a tall slide (about a 5-metre drop) where you hold onto a bar for 3 seconds and then drop, experiencing zero gravitational pull for a few seconds. After doing other activities inside of Questacon, we drove off to go to the Australian War Memorial and silently listened to last post ceremony while remembering all the soldiers. The last post ceremony told a story about a man who died fighting in World War II, we watched old soldiers place wreaths solemnly and our captains laid a wreath on behalf of the school. They also wrote a message on a card which is now part of the museum’s collection. It was quite cold at the ceremony place as it was outside near the infinity flame. It finally ended and we were pretty excited as we would now officially be headed back to Brisbane. Maccas was en-route, I already knew it was going to be an amazing meal as we remained hungry for multiple hours while we waited on the bus to arrive there. After dinner at Macca’s, we continued heading to Queensland. Taking little stops every so often, we watched Madagascar Escape to Africa 2 on the bus. It was a great movie!
Brisbane Friday 28th July
After multiple hours of a boring bus ride, I had never been so excited to see a Queensland License plate. I was finally back in Queensland. We waited to get home excited to see family. Seeing the school was super exciting especially the welcome home banner and staff. Everyone finally saw their families after 5 days. A big thank you to all our teachers for taking us on this exciting camp and a special big thankyou to our families for letting us go! It was an amazing adventure!

Environment Club News
The Environment Club has continued paper and cardboard recycling. This has been happening on a Thursday or Friday. So far, the collection has been going well with most classes remembering to only put paper and cardboard in these bins. Just a reminder that tissues must not be placed in the Recycling Bins.
Collection of plastic bottles, poppers etc for the Containers for Change program is also going well. Year 5/6 students place clear containers in both junior and senior eating areas each day. The large Wave of Change wheely bin is filling up and we are waiting for a replacement. So pleased that Runcorn State School families are accessing the green bins as well. The Runcorn State School Scheme ID is below, if that is easier to use. All funds raised goes towards resources for the school.
We now re-established the Heritage Garden beds by planting tomato and lettuce seedlings kindly donated by Bunnings, Underwood. The 5/6M and Prep C students lovingly planted these seedlings during Buddies and will work together to water and tend to them. Hopefully, we will start supplying salad for the Tuckshop. Lettuce and tomato are the most frequently used items in the Tuckshop.
Ever heard of GREENWASHING?
Be Inquirers and investigate this concept with your class or families. Another space where we need to be THINKERS!!
Looking forward to working alongside everyone to make a difference to the thinking around the Environment and Sustainability within Runcorn State School.

First Aid Processes
If children are injured or become ill at school they will receive treatment within the classroom or in the Health Room. Parents/Carers will be contacted if necessary. Please note that staff must give Parents and Carers a courtesy contact home for all head related injuries (no matter how minor).
When a student is considered too unwell to remain at school, parents will be contacted to collect in a timely manner. If a student's condition deteriorates while waiting to be collected an ambulance may be called if deemed necessary.
If a student presents to the health room with a suspected alergic reaction, parents/carers will be contacted. As per Education Queensland policy, if a student requires an EpiPen to be administered parents will be notified. An ambulance must be called and student will be transported to hospital for further treatment. Children with known allergies will have their own school based EpiPen. We also hold a school EpiPen for any unforseen emergencies.
Medication must be prescribed by a doctor or dentist and may only be administered to students by school staff. The medication must be taken to the school office in its prescription container and administered according to the doctor’s instructions.
Non prescribed oral medication such as Panadol and cough mixtures can only be administered by school staff with a pharmacy label and medical aurthorisation. Education Queensland prohibits students from carrying their own medication to school and require Parents/Carers to deliver the prescribed medication to the office and collect after school or before weekends as needed. A school register of all medicines administered is kept.
Student Resource Scheme (SRS)
The SRS provides students with cost-effective resources. It was unanimously agreed at the P&C Meeting on 20 November 2022 that the cost of the SRS Scheme for 2023 will be a flat fee of $40.00 per student with no family discount as per departmental guidelines. This is a reduction of $20.00 from the 2022 SRS fee. Forms and invoices will be sent to parents at the commencement of the 2023 school year.
