From the Principal Katherine Holman
Welcome back to Term 3. We trust you had an enjoyable
holiday break and found some time to enjoy not having
school routines and timelines. Welcome to our 7 new
students that started this week and their families. We hope
all our families have an enjoyable and productive term.
Reports came home at the end of the term. Please keep in
mind that a C grade is where children are meant to be if
they are working at the appropriate level for their year
level. If you have any questions or concerns relating to your
child / children’s reports please don’t hesitate to make a
time with the relevant teachers.
Over the next term we have quite a few of our teachers and
administration staff on leave for a variety of reasons. We
will endeavour to keep you informed of the changes
especially to classroom teachers. Where possible relief
teachers are known to the school and children.
Coming up this term is our Athon, Book Week, a Show
Day and a Pupil Free Day. Please keep an eye on the
calendar included in this newsletter for when events are.
The calendar is also on our web site. The Book Week
Parade will be held on Monday the 20th of August and this
year’s theme is “Find Your Treasure”. As the parade is a
significant highlight for the week it is a good opportunity to
start thinking about costumes now. Spotlight and some of
the cheap shops are often good sources for reasonably
priced costumes.
During the term we will also be conducting a trial for
NAPLAN online and the year 1 phonics screening check
tests for all year 1 students.
This term we will also be doing our usual surveys and we
will keep you informed as to when this is happening. We
really appreciate the support we get from our community
filling these in.
Clear the Yard Bell
At the end of the day at 3.15pm we will be sounding a
clear the yard bell and locking the gates. This practice
already happens with the oval gates. The bell signifies to
parents and students it is time to leave the grounds and
lets OSHC know that they may now use the yard and
playgrounds. We thank you for your support with this
import Work Health and Safety issue.
Car Parks
Inappropriate behaviour in the carparks continues to be a
safety concern. Please do not walk through or encourage
children to walk through carpark entrances and the actual
carpark. Please use paths and pedestrian gates. Also it is
extremely dangerous to use the staff carpark as a turning
zone as well as restricting access for staff to enter the
school.

The Scout Hall next to the staff carpark has parks available
and allows room to turn around. Handicap parks are only to
be used by those people who have a permit.
Well being and safety is everyone’s business and
responsibility and we ask for your cooperation in this
matter.
SCHOOL UNIFORM - Leadership SCHOOL UNIFORM REMINDERS
As the weather gets colder we are seeing a number of ‘non
school uniform’ jumpers and jackets in the yard. It is ok to
have a jacket or parka that isn’t navy but it can only be
worn to and from school and needs to be removed when
children arrive. Therefore it is very important that students
have navy jumpers or jackets for the yard / or wear a white
or navy long sleeve top under their school t-shirt to keep
warm. Teachers will remind students and contact parents if
needed. There are spare school jumpers in the office if
children are cold or need to borrow one for the day – these
just need to be returned.
We are seeing a number of students wearing black tracksuit
pants and leggings, colourful hair bows, jewellery and
makeup – all of which are not part of the uniform policy.
Teachers will be reminding them about the school uniform
in classes daily.
Just a few reminders:
- No denim or black tracksuit pants, jumpers,
jackets or leggings
- The only acceptable jewellery is the wearing of
small studs, sleepers and watches
- NO MAKEUP or Nail polish of any description.
Students will be reminded and then asked to
remove it at the office if it continues
- School hair accessories must be navy or white
- PLEASE PUT NAMES on students jumpers and
jackets – everything that comes to lost property is
returned if names are on items

"Excellence and Care"
People Who Help us in the
Community
Rooms 1, 3 and 4
This term our reception classes have been learning about people
that help us in the community. We have been very lucky and had
visits from firefighters, police officers and nurses. In week 9 the
classes celebrated with a ‘P Day.’ All the students and teachers
dressed up as people in the community and shared a pizza lunch.
Throughout the day students participated in different activities
and role plays. Everyone had a fun day and looked amazing.
