WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Bigger does not always mean better.
Smaller schools are generally better for most purposes in education. Many studies conducted during the
past 20 years have found that small schools, particularly at the primary school level, have a positive
effect upon student achievement, extra-curricular participation, student
satisfaction, student behaviour and attendance. (Small Schools and Education Outcomes )Trevor Cobbold, July 2011
Welcome to our wonderful school. It is a great place to be. Our school offers a rich
curriculum delivered by highly trained and skilled teaching and support staff.
Many small rural schools like Jugiong started life in the late 1800’s. They are at the centre of small
communities and provide a focal point for their local community.
Australia is all about the diversity that abounds in small rural communities. Small schools
provide great educational and social opportunities, which are enhanced by the high level parent
and community collaboration and involvement in our school programs and
decision making. We want you to become an active member of our school community and share in
your child’s learning adventure.
Even though we are a small school we teach the same content as every other school with the
added advantage of a family atmosphere, exceptional resources and committed staff. At JPS we
offer a small staff to student ratio which means we can give each student
individual attention. We know our students well.
Jugiong Public School is part of the Murrumboola Learning Community. Our learning partners
include Murrumburrah Public School, Binalong Public School and Murrumburrah High School. Links
with our learning partners enables us to give the children learning experiences with students of a
similar age and helps to reduce our isolation .
The introduction of video-conferencing, social media and other digital interaction is a powerful
factor in the educative process. At JPS we offer each student individual access to up to date
technology to enhance learning opportunities.
Our school is always improving. We look at ways to enhance student, staff and community learning
by evaluating what we do, looking at our results and planning programs that meet the needs of
each student.
We are in exciting times at JPS. We already have some fantastic facilities including modern
classrooms, modern technology, a well equipped library and attractive grounds. We have plans to
move towards flexible indoor and outdoor learning spaces.

Our students are given opportunities to be involved in all aspects of school life and attain
exceptional results. Our results in national testing have been very pleasing with strengths in literacy
and numeracy being identified. Students take part in a range of tests and
competitions including ICASS and perform well.
We are constantly developing programs that enhance student learning:
HOW2Learn underpins all that we do at Jugiong for both the staff and students.
We are a Sporting School and offer opportunities for our students to compete in a wide variety
of sports at all levels.
A tutor from Young Regional School of Music visits each week to support our music
program. The school funds class marimba and ukulele lessons. Mr Hyde also tutors
students in private, and group guitar and keyboard lessons.
Students participate in public speaking competitions and choral eisteddfods.
We have a gardening and cooking program that has great community support.
Thank you for looking for the many benefits of a “Rural Education” at Jugiong when
choosing a school. Bigger does not always mean better.
I look forward to working with you and developing relationships that ensure all students in the
school are able to receive a quality education. We want them to reach their full potential in an
environment where learning is safe and fun.

HOW2Learn
HOW2Learn is a strategy focused on students’ capacity to learn.
HOW2Learn is not a program, but an attitude, which involves a change in school culture. It is a
way for students to learn, teachers to teach and the community to be involved in our school.
There has been a whole school focus of:
Building a growth mindset of our students
Explicitly teaching the language and dispositions of successful learners
Understanding that intelligence is grown
Students reflecting on their own learning through goal setting and using the Literacy and
Numeracy Continuums.
The HOW2Learn strategy empowers learners by developing five dispositions of
Resilience, Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Reflectiveness and Reciprocity.
Within these dispositions there are 22 habits that improve all round learning fitness.
This is an ongoing strategy in our school, which continues to embedded into all areas of
our school.
Literacy and Numeracy
The Jugiong Public School staff are committed to enhancing the literacy and numeracy skills
of all students. The school provides programs for all students including special programs to sup-
port Gifted and Talented students and those experiencing learning difficulties.
Quality Literacy
Our literacy programs are based on what used to be known as Accelerated Literacy and doesn’t
simply teach spelling, grammar and vocabulary.
It also teaches the ways of thinking that underpin what these mean. This knowledge is an essential
part of being able to decode text and therefore succeed educationally.
Through our effectively quality literacy programs we are able to awaken a sense of the 'what', the
'how', the 'when', the 'where', and ultimately the 'why', of language choices in a text.
As a result of QL teaching, our students gain control over how to put it all together
PRIME Maths
At Jugiong our mathematics program is based on specialised world-class PRIME Maths Programs
designed specifically for your child.
The students are taught different strategies for solving problems that are linked to real-world
problems.
Computers and Technology
At Jugiong Public School, computer technology and Internet access are an important part of the
information learning process.
Computers are located in each classroom and the library and other devices are also accessed
and integrated into the curriculum.
The school has modern Smart board technology and Video Conferencing facilities.

Kids Matter
Childhood is a crucial time for growing healthy minds. All children need care and support to
develop and learn. Some children need additional help to reach their potential.
KidsMatter is a mental health and wellbeing framework for primary schools and early childhood
education and care services, and is proven to make a positive difference to the lives of
Australian children.
Kids Matter will be introduced at JPS in 2017.
Sport
Sport is an important part of the school curriculum and essential to the
development and achievement of many outcomes of the PDHPE syllabus. All students
are encouraged to participate unless prevented by ill health or injury.
The school encourages and provides opportunities for all students to compete in school, District,
Regional or State organised competitions. We encourage and expect children to display a high
level of sportsmanship at all times.
JPS is part of the Sporting Schools program, an Australian Government initiative
designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport, and to connect children
with community sport.
JPS participates in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge each year.
Kitchen Garden
In 2016 JPS joined the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden scheme to introduce pleasurable
food education to the students during their learning years, in order to form positive food habits
for life. The project is new at JPS and will continue to develop over the coming years.
Project Based Learning
Project-based learning is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore
real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge.
In 2016 students at Jugiong have been involved in:
Genius Hour
During genius hour students of all levels are empowered to explore their own passions.
The ARCHIBULL Prize Program
2016 Theme: Feeding, Clothing and Powering a Hungry Nation is a Shared Responsibility
The Archibull Prize is an innovative and fun program which provides student participants with
opportunities to meet young farmers and engage in genuine farm experiences, gain knowledge
and skills about the production of the food they eat, fibres they use and the environment they live
in.
Music and Dance
Mr Rupert Hyde visits JPS each Wednesday from Young Regional School of Music.
Mr Hyde teaches each class marimbas and ukuleles. He also offers private and group
tuition in Guitar and keyboard.

School Uniform
Rationale:
A uniform dress code reinforces in students a pride in their own appearance, instils recognition
of themselves as an integral part of the school community, and assists in developing pride in
representing their school. Issues of equality, health and safety, and expense are also factors
that contribute to the establishment of the Dress Code.
Aim:
To promote equality amongst all students.
To further develop a sense of pride in, and identification with our school.
To provide durable clothing that is cost effective and practical for our school
environment.
To maintain and enhance the positive image of the school in the community.

School Routine
School commences at 9.10am.
Supervision does not officially commence until 8.50am. This is a good time for students to arrive so
that they can be ready for the start of the school day.
A bell rings at 8.40am for students to put bags away and prepare for classes. Classes commence
at 8.45am and finish at 3.15pm. Session times are as follows:
The bell is rung 5 minutes prior to the end of recess and the end of lunch. This is to remind
children to pack up equipment, go to the toilet, wash their hands, get a drink and line
up ready to begin learning. This eliminates interruptions during lessons and prevents
students from being late to class.
Student Safety
The end of the school day is a busy time. Some students are collected by parents/guardians, some
ride bikes, some travel by school bus and some walk. Regardless of how your child travels to and
from school, it is important that they do so safely.
Whilst schools supervise students during school hours and on school grounds, parents/guardians
have responsibility for the care and supervision of students exiting the school and travelling from the
school at the end of the day.
For safety reasons, parents are asked not to drive into the staff parking area .
Students should be dropped off and collected at the bottom gate.

Enrolment Requirements In NSW public schools, children may commence Kindergarten at the beginning of the school
year, if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law all children must start school by
their sixth birthday.
Students are allocated to public schools according to the zone they live in and should attend
their local school. Before considering an alternate school parents should contact the local
school principal to discuss enrolment possibilities.
Students transferring from other NSW schools are placed in their current grades. Interstate pu-
pils are enrolled in the grade appropriate to their chronological age.
Birth Certificates
When enrolling Kindergarten children (or Yr 1 to Yr 6 children from interstate) an original Birth
Certificate or current passport is mandatory for verification of date of birth and correct
name. The name used on school records is the same as that recorded on the child’s Birth
Certificate. This is a requirement through schooling to tertiary education. If you wish to know
more about name changes, a Department of Education Legal Bulletin is available at the of-
fice.
Immunisation Records
Immunisation records are requested for students beginning in Kindergarten. Please advise the
office staff if your child has not been through the immunisation process).
In line with the Department of Education’s privacy policy, knowledge and information about
children and families is respected by the school and kept private.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a crucial year for all children so we have structured a comprehensive transition
program and plan for students in their first year at school.
This includes:
Three orientation days for students to attend in Term 4.
Additional orientation days as needed.
Specific Programs to support student learning.
Best Start assessment in literacy and numeracy during the first week of Term 1 allowing
teachers to develop individual programs for the students as they start school.
Parents are also interviewed to enable us to gather as much information as possible
about ways we can support and motivate your child.
Parent Involvement
Parents are strongly encouraged to:
Be involved in classroom reading , creative arts, sport and support programs
Become members of the P&C
Be connected with our school community

Parents and Citizens Association
Our school P & C is a vital organisation in our school and we urge you to join or
become involved in P & C activities. The association plays an active role in decision making
and school planning as well as undertaking fundraising aimed at improving learning
opportunities for our students. Their efforts in recent years have seen support of learning
programs through extra staffing, funding Footsteps Dance, the provision of technology,
classroom resources, direct student subsidies for excursions, blinds in the primary classroom
and many other kinds of support.
The P & C is a vibrant and passionate community of parents who play an important role in
supporting the school principal, teachers and non‐ teaching staff to make our school an
inspiring and creative place for our children. If you want to know what's going on in the
school, if you have an issue to raise, or if you have the seed of an idea you would like to plant,
come along to a meeting. It is an exciting time for Jugiong Public School with many initiatives
in the pipeline.

Absences
If your child is absent from school for any reason, you are required by Law to advise the school
in writing of the date/s and reason for absence. A note explaining the absence must
accompany the child on his/her return to school. Long term planned absences should be
advised in writing, in advance. If your child is ill and will be absent for more than a few days
please advise the school.
Home Reading
Regular reading at home is vital to a student’s progress in literacy. Each day the students read
to parent volunteers and then take the book home to read with their parents. The book is then
returned and the system is repeated.
School Library and Computer Technology
Our library is filled with a huge range of wonderful books to whet the appetite of readers of all
interests and abilities. All classes have at least one library session per week. Library bags are
needed for the children to borrow books.
Computer Technology lessons occur each week for all classes. The children learn basic
computer skills through to more complex presentations. All computers are linked to the internet
and both classes have their own computers also linked to the internet.
Assemblies
Whole school assemblies are held on three times a term in the school hall. Each class is given
the opportunity throughout the year to conduct their own assembly and they usually present a
specially organised performance. Students are invariably very enthusiastic about their class
assemblies and put a lot of thought and effort into their preparation and performances.
Scripture
Special Religious Education (SRE) is provided in public schools throughout NSW by authorised
representatives of approved religious groups.
Combined SRE classes are currently provided at our school each Thursday morning.
Non‐Scripture activities are available for students when requested.
Excursions
The school has a program of excursions for students as they progress from Kindergarten through
to Year 6. These experiences form an integral aspect of the curriculum and are always enjoyed
by the children.
General Information
EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN
Student Health and Well being
If your child has a condition which may require special or emergency treatment (eg medical
problems or serious allergies) please make sure you inform us upon enrolment or by contacting
the school to enable a Health Care Plan to be formulated.
Prescribed Medication
Students should not carry medication with them or in their bags (other than asthma
puffers – see below). In general, medication is not administered by school staff unless it is
prescription medicine. Should your child require regular prescribed medication to be
administered at school for a chronic or ongoing condition, there are policy procedures that
need to be followed. Please contact the school should you need more information about this.
Regular Prescribed Medication
Meetings are arranged between parent/caregiver and the school to discuss
requirements. Paperwork is then completed, accompanied by a letter from doctor with details
of condition, prescribed medication and dosage. If medication dosage changes from time
to time, the change must be advised to the school in writing.
Asthmatics
Some students carry their Ventolin/other puffers in their bag and this is permitted by
Department of Education & Community. Some parents prefer to leave a puffer in the school
office for their child’s emergency/ intermittent use.
Anaphylaxis
Parents must inform the school if a child suffers from anaphylaxis so a school management plan
can be drawn up to ensure availability of Epipens.

Code of Cooperation
The code of cooperation at Jugiong Public School outlines some unique principles and
practices as developed at this school in response to our particular needs.
Basic Principles
The following are the principles on which the JPS Code of Cooperation is based:
Students are increasingly responsible for their own behaviour.
All behaviours have consequences.
Students have a right to learn in a safe and orderly environment.
Students learn and behave well when they experience success in the school
environment.
Student behaviour is the joint responsibility of parents and teachers.
Some students need an individual behaviour plan if their behaviour is to be changed.
School and Classroom Code of Cooperation
Our classroom and school code of co-operation is negotiated and developed with, and
agreed to by the students at the beginning of each year. Each classroom conducts
regular reflection meetings.
Rewards and Consequences
A range of strategies and rewards is used to highlight positive behaviour. Eg assembly awards.
The following consequences have been developed:
Reminder – comment on the behaviour and associated class/playground rule.
Warning – relate the behaviour, rule and consequences should the behaviour continue.
Reflection time.
Discipline Meetings – to include appropriate teachers and parents and other
persons as necessary.
Exclusion – suspension or expulsion as outlined in NSW DOE policies and
guidelines.
At all times it should be stressed that the first priority is to discourage unacceptable behaviour by
highlighting acceptable good behaviour, eliminating situations where unacceptable behaviour
might occur and providing programs which teach understanding, processes and skills that lead
to acceptable behaviour.
Teachers, parents and students deal with unacceptable behaviours by using specially designed
processes in a consistent, systematic and cooperative way.
EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN
Our School’s obligations under duty of care and under various pieces of legislation require that all rel-
evant staff (including executive, teaching and non-teaching staff, part-time, temporary and casual
staff) be appropriately trained, including:
reinforcing the School Child Protection Policy and the Staff Code of Conduct;
raising their awareness of child protection issues (recognising child abuse and neglect);
advising staff of their statutory obligations under the School policy and provide guidelines for appropri-
aand inappropriate behaviour;
• ensuring all staff have participated in an initial child protection induction and annual updates;
• ensuring all staff are aware of the indicators of abuse and neglect of children and young people;
ensuring all staff are aware of their obligation to advise the principal or workplace manager of
concerns about the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children and young people that arise dur-
ing the course of their work;.
Working With Children Check
In accordance with the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012, the safety, welfare and
well-being of children and, in particular protecting them from child abuse, is the paramount
consideration of this school.
The Working with Children Check is an important part of the NSW Department of Education's
recruitment process to prevent people who pose a risk to the safety, welfare and well-being of chil-
dren from being employed or engaged in child-related work. All workers must obtain a WWCC
clearance prior to commencing in a child-related role.
Volunteers
The vast majority of volunteers in schools are parents of a child attending the school at which they are
volunteering.
Most parent volunteers coming into the school are exempt from obtaining a WWCC clearance,
regardless of the volunteering activity they are undertaking or the length of time the activity takes.
All parent volunteers are required to complete complete an appendix 5 form (which can be found on
the school website under policies) and provide 100 points of ID.
Evidence of this must be given to the school .

School Communication
The Jugiong Journal, our weekly newsletter, is emailed to a nominated address. Copies are also
available at the BP service station. This contains important information regarding school events,
as well as items of interest and news. A calendar of upcoming events is also included for your
reference. Please read The Jugiong Journal regularly to ensure that you are informed about
school activities and other important information. The newsletter is also available on our school
website www.jugiong‐p.schools.nsw.edu.au (or Google Jugiong Public School) . The school is

We hope you and your children love being part of our small school
community at Jugiong.
