Welcome to the Office Mrs Mewburn:

You might have noticed a new friendly face in the office the last couple of weeks. We would like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs Mewburn who has joined the front office team. Mrs Mewburn has been busy completing training and getting to know the various systems of the front office. If you haven’t been assist by Mrs Mewburn yet, I am sure you will see her smiling face in the front office soon.

Mrs Mewburn has provided a little information about herself below:
Hello Aspley SS community!

My name is Lara Mewburn and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the wonderful team here as your new Administration Officer. From the moment I arrived, I’ve felt incredibly welcomed by both staff, students, and the wider school community – thank you all! I look forward to meeting more of you in the coming weeks. When I’m not at school, you’ll most likely find me soaking up the sunshine at the beach, camping with my family, or chasing after our crazy labrador, Sonny. I’m so excited to be part of the Aspley SS family and look forward to a fantastic year ahead.

Please ensure to use QParents or the BPOINT link on invoices to make payments to the school. If payments are received directly to the bank account you must use your students EQ ID number as the reference, without this the payment will not be able to be matched to the student or applied to an invoice.

If you have a credit on your student/s account, please contact the office requesting it be applied to an invoice/s on your student/s account. Credits on student accounts are unable to automatically be applied to invoices by the school.

Did you know you can use the BPOINT link on School invoices to make multiple payments? Simply click the link on your invoice and enter the nominated amount you wish to pay in that transaction. You can repeat this process until the invoice has been paid in full. This can be useful when paying for larger expenses like school camps. If you happen to lose track of the remaining balance just reach out to the front office and they will be able to provide the outstanding amount for you. You can also check for outstanding amounts through QParents.

Term 2 Gala Days:

Thursday 12 June, Year 5 & 6 families received an email with updates regarding the Term 2 GALA Days. As the third GALA Day did not occur this term, a credit of $16 has been applied to participating student accounts. This credit can be used on future invoices; please ensure to email admin@aspleyss.eq.edu.au requesting the credit be applied when you are next invoiced. If you wish for the $16 to be refund, please complete and return a Request for Refund form, this can be located on our School website.

Facilities

On Friday, 13 June we were happy to have softfall re-installed to our playgrounds ready for students to use Monday, 16 June. While not all the works were completed on Friday, they will continue over the weekend to support the students accessing the playgrounds again next week.

In Week 9 we have two new chilled water bubblers getting installed. One is replacing the existing bubblers at the hall (near the top oval), and the other is replacing the existing bubblers under F Block (near the Year 1 and 2 playground). These new chilled bubblers were purchased with donations raised by our P&C. We look forward to students accessing additional chilled water closer to the oval and lower years playgrounds.
