It is also a busy place that offers many opportunities and this handbook serves to help navigate and understand the information and procedures throughout the year. The Junior School Handbook is designed to assist you as a reference point, whether you are transitioning to Hale or an existing family. The most up-to-date version of the handbook is available via the Hale School Portal (Community/New School Year Information/Handbooks). Being the entry point for many Haleians, the Junior School is an integral component of the wider school community. We enjoy the support, facilities and sense of pride that are evident across the whole school.

In 2020, we have a student population of approximately 385 boys that will be supported by over 30 staff. The teaching team includes the Junior School Executive, year level teachers and specialists in Learning Support, Mathematics, Music, Drama, Visual Arts, Learning Hub, Health and Physical Education, Chinese (Mandarin), Religious and Values Education (RAVE), and Personal and Social Development (PSD).

The Junior School is committed to responsive and data-informed curriculum, teaching and assessment. Teachers are encouraged to respond to their deep understanding of the individual needs of the boys, enabling them to develop teaching and learning activities that are differentiated and responsive to the boys’ needs. The Junior School is focused on developing cognitive, social, spiritual, physical, emotional and dispositional learning. We value the opportunity to join you in your son’s journey as he strives to prepare for a rewarding and fulfilling life that is underpinned by the School’s motto of ‘Duty’. As companions in this journey we look forward to your support of Hale School’s vision and values, and genuinely hope that the Hale experience meets all your expectations and nurtures your son as he finds his frontier

2 Welcome to Hale School

Welcome from the Acting Head of Junior SchoolWelcome to the Junior School, a place of learning, vibrancy, community and proud history. Founded in 1858, Hale is the oldest boys’ School in Western Australia. At the entrance to the Junior School, there is a significant nod to this history with a large image showing Hale School boys from decades ago. Their faces capture the joy, enthusiasm and buoyancy of youth and their days in the old school yard. Years on, the emotions and feelings that this picture captured is still very much evident in the shining eyes of our boys of today. As you wander around the new grounds of the Junior School, it is true that we are blessed with incredible facilities and infrastructure, but more than this, we have a student, parent and teaching community who build strong relationships and work together to create an environment where our boys can thrive. Our teaching team offer learning experiences that engage, motivate and instil a love of learning and in so doing create enduring memories for our boys that

The Junior School design focuses on three main learning centres with additional purpose-built specialised spaces. The three main centres are:

• Lower Junior (Pre-Primary to Year 2)

• Middle Junior (Years 3 and 4)

• Upper Junior (Years 5 and 6)

Other learning spaces include the Learning Hub, Gym, Art Room and Drama Room.

A key element in the design of the buildings is the focus on flexibility and collaboration, allowing the learning spaces to be modified in response to the needs of boys and the teaching and learning process. Retractable glass panels in each class allow the rooms to be defined when such a space is required for explicit teaching. Just as easily, the rooms can be opened to a range of configurations for inquiry and collaborative learning experiences. Classrooms can also open to a large breakout area and landscaped courtyards. The buildings capture natural light and the views make the most of Hale’s stunning natural surrounds.

Each centre has a smaller learning space, which can be used for smaller group work and specialised programmes. Numerous writable walls, both inside classrooms and in the breakout space, allow the boys and teachers to explore their thinking and share ideas. These spaces have an open area for team teaching and collaboration.

The flexibility that the learning centres offer will enable the Junior School to be responsive to the needs of the boys and teachers now and for years to come. We are confident that these visionary buildings that maintain a village feel will serve Hale well as we prepare the boys for their future.

Childhood is a time for discovery and curiosity. Early learning at Hale creates a physical and social space that cultivates inquiry, promotes a curious mindset and presents students with opportunities to build strong foundational skills and engage in playful learning.

With a deep understanding of curriculum, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and Western Australia’s School Curriculum Standards Authority, our educators create a balanced environment where your son will be intentionally and explicitly taught foundational literacy and numeracy skills while engaging in play activities that match individual development, interests and promote cross-curricular links. Specialist subjects taught in Pre-Primary are Health and Physical Education (including Fundamental Movement Skills), Music, Personal and Social Development (PSD), Learning Hub and Drama.

Pre-Primary information

Our understanding of playful pedagogy ensures students are engineers in their own learning, engaging in opportunities for:

• voluntary play – providing choice and opportunities to make decisions

• pleasurable play – fun and enjoyable

• engaging play – intentional and responsive to the individual

• symbolic play – making connections to your son’s world and beyond

• meaningful play – tailored to the needs of the individual

The dispositions for future, successful learning – such as curiosity, openness, optimism, resilience, concentration and creativity – are developed in play.

Here are some suggestions to assist you and your son in his transition to Pre-Primary:

• Our doors open at 8.15am and we encourage you to stay with your son in his classroom as he settles. This is also a great opportunity to meet other parents.

• The school day begins at 8.30am and this is the time to say goodbye. Talking about this and maybe rehearsing prior to the start of school may help.

• Pre-Primary finishes at 3.00pm and boys can be picked up at the classroom.

• In Pre-Primary the boys will wear their hats all year round during outside play and other activities. We have a ‘No hat, no play’ policy. Having a School hat that is clearly labelled is important. These can be purchased from the Clothing Shop.

• Label all items from lunchboxes to shoes. This will ensure that if an item is misplaced it should find its way back to you

• Hang something on your son’s school bag to make it easily identifiable.

• Have a go at learning to tie shoelaces before the school year begins. Until this skill is mastered your son can wear shoes with velcro straps.

• At Pre-Primary, it is age appropriate that children are toilet trained. However, we understand that accidents do happen; therefore, please supply a spare pair of pants and underwear.

A parent information session will be held by the Pre-Primary teachers at the start of the 2020 academic year. More detailed information about the teaching and learning programme and other organisational matters will be discussed on this occasion.

6 Teaching and learning

Extensive research shows that the quality of teaching has the most significant influence on student learning. Junior School teachers plan engaging learning experiences and work collaboratively to ensure that all boys, regardless of their starting points, are reaching their potential and have every opportunity to excel.

Our teaching and learning philosophy, programmes and practices are informed by research into best practice in education. Teachers continuously respond and plan according to the specific learning needs and strengths of boys. These are regularly reviewed to ensure that data-informed, boy-responsive programmes and pedagogy pervades all elements of teaching and learning in the Junior School.

Boys are actively involved in a range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities, focusing on elements of the academic, physical, spiritual, emotional and social domains, providing for holistic development. Teaching and learning programmes include a balance between explicit teaching and inquiry learning methods. The skills and knowledge required to be future-ready

learners, including the 4Cs of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking are key elements to the educational experience in the Junior School. Developmentally appropriate learning experiences aim to equip boys with the skills, values and knowledge to be independent and successful lifelong learners.

Our students are living and learning in a technology-rich environment. The influences of a rapidly changing society cannot be ignored in educational settings and are embraced in the Junior School. Our teaching and learning leverages the technology available to actively engage, motivate and enable boys to experience learning contexts that are rich, relevant and real.

Academic excellence is achieved through comprehensive programmes in the following learning areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Technologies, the Arts, Health and Physical Education (including Personal and Social Development), Religious and Values Education, and Chinese. Teachers use a range of

Teaching and learningPHILOSOPHY

KEY PRINCIPLES

• Positive relationships with students are a necessary condition of learning.

• Teachers with a rich understanding of curriculum and effective pedagogies inspire deep learning.

• High expectations of students’ learning and behaviour are upheld by active and enthusiastic teachers.

7Teaching and learning

assessment tools to inform their teaching and to provide individualised feedback to students. Information gathered from assessment tools (both standardised and non-standardised) enables teachers to determine individual learning progress and performance against year level achievement standards. These are regularly communicated to parents through a variety of formats, including a biannual report and weekly diary entries. Student self-assessment and regular reflection on their learning, forms an integral component of the teaching and learning cycle.

A parent information session is held in the first few weeks of Term 1 to provide you with more detailed information in regard to teaching and learning in the Junior School.

GIFTED & TALENTED EDUCATION

Hale School aims to nurture the learning needs of all students and encourage all students to achieve their personal best. This includes providing challenge and opportunity for students who may be achieving at a level beyond their peers. We aim to identify gifted students in order to engage them in learning

experiences appropriate to their ability, maturity and individual strengths and weaknesses.

Quality teaching underpins the provision of learning experiences appropriate and relevant to the individual needs of high-potential learners. To ensure teaching and learning experiences are responsive to individual learners, a team approach enables the delivery of an innovative and enriched curriculum. Both teaching and specialist staff, including the Junior School Psychologist, work closely to implement strategies that make the necessary curriculum adjustments to meet individual learning needs, strengths, interests and goals.

The identification of students who may be gifted is a process of collecting and comparing information from various sources and developing a student profile to determine what strategies are appropriate for each individual. We believe that the identification of a child’s gifts and talents to be an ongoing and evolving process that occurs throughout the schooling years to assess and accommodate individual growth and change. The key purpose of identifying high-potential learners is to provide

8 Teaching and learning

opportunities that meet their individual needs. Information from any of the following sources may be used:

• independent psychometric assessment

• data from tests of achievement or potential

• parent information

• teacher nomination

• information from previous schools

We acknowledge different provisions are appropriate for students at different ages and circumstances. It is Hale’s intention to ensure that all teachers are skilled in differentiating the teaching and learning within their classroom so students of all abilities can learn and experience challenge at their level of ability. In addition, students who are identified as gifted may be offered access to the following provisions:

• cluster grouping with like-minded peers

• co-curricular programmes such as University of New South Wales competitions (ICAS Mathematics, Science and English), Tournament of Minds, da Vinci Decathlon and Talented Young Writers Programme, music ensembles, drama and sports workshops

• community programmes such as Service Learning

• differentiated curriculum

• clubs/interest groups such as Gardening Club or Chess Club

• lines of inquiry such as a ‘passion project’

• external workshops such as those held by universities or Fremantle Literature Centre

• Middle or Senior School enrichment opportunities

LEARNING SUPPORT

In every class, each student has a unique learning profile with individual strengths and areas to be developed. Teaching and learning experiences aim to provide rich opportunities that promote growth and instill a love of learning. To complement this, Learning Support teachers provide a pathway that ensures all students have access to appropriate support in order to reach their potential.

This is achieved by a responsive identification, assessment and intervention schedule. This provides a solid foundation for early identification and support across the whole school. Learning Support teachers work in consultation with parents/caregivers, classroom teachers, specialist teachers and outside agencies. Programmes used are research based, systematic, explicit and target individual needs. Students who are working with a member of the Learning Support team will be reviewed regularly with feedback provided to all stakeholders. Learning Support teachers may work with individuals or small groups. They also work in collaboration with class teachers to plan for modifications to teaching and learning in the classroom.

The Junior School psychologist is a member of the Learning Support team and can provide assistance in the collaborative process of identifying and planning for boys with learning and/or attentional difficulties. Access to the Psychologist in these instances occurs as part of the referral process from the classroom teacher. The School psychologist will also consult with parents and staff if provided with psychometric and educational assessment reports from external psychologists, to ensure that the individual learning needs of the boys are supported.

We have high expectations for all boys, underpinned by the belief that all students can learn. In partnership with parents, we aim to provide opportunities to build strong foundational skills and understandings to support future learning.

REPORTING TO PARENTS:SCHOOL REPORTS & PARENT INTERVIEWS

Parent-teacher interviews are held during Term 1. Reports are available on the Portal to parents at the end of Terms 2 and 4. Parents are invited to attend interviews, open classrooms or learning journeys during Term 3. Ongoing communication and informal weekly reporting are maintained through the use of the Junior School Homework Diary. Teachers are always willing to discuss a student’s progress and appointments can be arranged personally or through the homework diary.

NATIONAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME: LITERACY AND NUMERACY (NAPLAN)

All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are tested in the areas of Reading, Writing, Language Conventions and Numeracy as part of a national initiative to assess and monitor standards in education. NAPLAN tests provide information on how students are progressing and support improvements in teaching and learning. Test results will be provided to parents once received by the School. This information will indicate each student’s performance in relation to other students, against the state and national average and the national minimum standard. The NAPLAN test dates for 2020 are 12 to 14 May. Parents are best able to assist students by making them feel comfortable about the nature and purpose of the tests. Further information will be distributed to parents prior to this date.

ASSEMBLY

A regular assembly is held on Friday in the John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre auditorium. Boys are awarded with Honour Certificates and performances are presented. The Head of Junior School presents special Honour Certificates when informed of boys’ achievements in culture, sport or other fields outside the school curriculum. Parents are welcome to attend. Specific dates for assemblies are listed in the Junior School calendar.

DIARY SYSTEM & HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework is an important component of the Junior School curriculum. Homework in the Junior School focuses on the mastery of sight words, spelling, mental computation and mathematical processes. Reading is also a critical part of homework each evening.

Homework is regularly set each week. All homework is entered into the student’s diary, which parents are required to sign each night. The teacher will suitably acknowledge and assess the student’s work and provide a weekly summary of progress. In Years 4 to 6, where boys fail to complete an assigned homework task, a ‘Homework Not Completed’ sticker will be placed in the student’s diary. However, homework should not be a highly stressful or overly demanding adjunct to the school day.

When a task is not understood or the demands of the family routine do not allow homework tasks to be completed on a particular evening, a note in the student’s diary from parents will suffice in preventing a ‘Homework Not Completed’ sticker.

The following time allocations are suggested for each year level. This includes daily reading for pleasure:

• Pre-Primary: Not applicable

• Year 1: 10 minutes

• Year 2: 15 minutes

• Year 3: up to 20 minutes

• Year 4: up to 30 minutes

• Year 5: up to 30 minutes

• Year 6: up to 45 minutes

Homework also allows for positive communication to take place between the School and home by establishing a partnership to recognise what is happening in the classroom. An effective homework routine assists long-term habits of achievement, planning and study organisation.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

It is up to each student to:

• inform their parents of set tasks

• manage time to complete tasks

• complete work to a high standard

• complete the tasks within the allocated time

• return the tasks to school as required

• talk to the teacher if difficulties arise

PARENT RESPONSIBILITY

Parents are asked to:

• encourage and acknowledge independent learning

• take an active interest in their son’s homework

• assist with time management and establishing a consistent homework routine

• sign their son’s diary each night

• inform their son’s teacher if he is having difficulties with homework tasks

DISCIPLINE

When dealing with boys and their parents regarding discipline, the key is communication. Writing in the homework diary and talking with your son’s class teacher, the Head of Lower Junior,

the Deputy Head or the Head of Junior School are all valid and important options when you have a concern.

Bullying is an issue that is dealt with immediately. Sanctions for poor behaviour or an error of judgement range from ‘time out’ to notes in the diary and communication with either the Head of Lower Junior School (PP-2), the Deputy Head or the Head of Junior School. More significant issues might involve an interview with the boy’s parents, a Friday afternoon detention from 3.30pm to 4.45pm, or ultimately, after meetings with the Headmaster, a review of his place within the School.

The Junior School is a happy environment where honest consultation helps resolve any issues very quickly. The focus is on the right for all to attend a school where learning is paramount, where all are respected for who they are, and where all have the right to feel safe, respected and valued. We expect a high standard of behaviour based upon each boy’s strong and positive response to the educational opportunities provided.

HOMEWORK AND UNIFORM STICKERS

When a boy fails to complete his homework without a valid reason he will receive a ‘Homework Not Completed’ sticker in his diary. Similarly, if a boy’s uniform fails to meet acceptable standards or is incomplete, an ‘Unsatisfactory Uniform’ sticker will be placed in his diary. Two of either stickers over the period of a week will result in referral to the Deputy Head of the Junior School.

11Teaching and learning

12 Pastoral care

Pastoral care is the commitment to and concern for the growth and well-being of each student as well as the broader school community. Pastoral care is everyone’s responsibility and is a central focus for all boys, parents and staff. Together, we support students to develop their social and emotional competencies to enable them to understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, resolve conflict, show compassion, make thoughtful and sensible choices and cope with challenges. A comprehensive and developmental pastoral care programme is delivered to all students. Some of the programmes include:

FRIENDLY SCHOOLS (PP-6)

• evidence based, whole school approach that supports the development and maintenance of the friendly and supportive culture of the School

• social and emotional learning: helping students make good choices now and in the future

KEEPING SAFE (PP-6)

• knowing we all have the right to be safe

• helping ourselves to be safe by talking to people we trust

• building relationships

• recognising and reporting abuse

• learning protective strategies

ROCK AND WATER (YR 3-6)

• The concept of the firm and unshakeable character of rock as opposed to the mobile connecting nature of water.

• Through activities involving movement, inquiry and reflection, these sessions develop body awareness, emotional awareness and self-awareness.

Pastoral care

13Pastoral care

HIGHWAY HEROES (PP-2)

• Using the metaphor of travelling along the highway of life, students develop highway tools that enable them to deal with life’s inevitable challenges.

• The sessions will aim to develop proactive skills (forming friendships, gaining inclusion, thought/mood management) and reactive skills (dealing with play refusals, friendship difficulties, teasing and bullying).

Should a pastoral care concern arise or advice be sought, the class teacher is the first point of contact. Depending on the nature of the concern, it may be appropriate to communicate directly with Tracy Heldt, Deputy Head of Pastoral Care PP – Year 6 in Semester 1 2020.

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST

Hale School employs a part-time psychologist in the Junior School to assist with enhancing student mental health, well-being, social competency and educational achievement. The School psychologist draws on a professional body of knowledge that is applied via evidence-based individual, group and system level interventions. It is practised through processes of problem solving, collaboration, consultation, assessment, counselling and liaison with external agencies. The School psychologist uses a reflective and flexible approach to provide a range of intervention strategies to support school and student outcomes across all year levels and transition points.

School psychologists are bound by the professional standards and codes of ethics set out in their codes of practice by Federal and/or State legislation and by the School’s procedural guidelines and policies. They are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Agency (AHPRA) and hold educational qualifications.

REFERRAL PROCESS

Consultation with the psychologist for student learning concerns is arranged by the classroom teacher through a referral to the Learning Support team (see Learning Support, page 9).

When there are concerns regarding a student’s mental health and well-being, contact with the psychologist can be arranged through the classroom teacher or the Junior School Executive. Parents who have concerns for their son are encouraged to speak with the classroom teacher first if possible or can alternatively choose to contact the psychologist directly. Consultation may result in the recommendation of accessing support through an external professional.

PARENT CONSENT

The psychologist must have parental consent before providing services for an individual student. In some cases, informal consultations may take place to ascertain whether involvement of the psychologist is appropriate.

CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS

Psychologists are required to keep and maintain records as outlined by the Australian Psychological Society Code of Ethics. The psychologist will safeguard the confidentiality of the information obtained during the provision of services, with access strictly restricted to the School psychologists. When requested and consented to by parents, relevant information may be forwarded to an outside agency.

CHAPEL SERVICE

Specific dates for Chapel services are listed in the Junior School calendar. Contemporary Anglican worship services are led by our Chaplain and parents are welcome to attend.

Chapel services include Bible readings, a short talk, prayers and songs of worship. Services generally run for half an hour.

A house system operates at Junior School with four houses named after Rhodes Scholars who attended Hale School. All boys are allocated to a house with a number of House Teachers whose role is to supervise and coordinate house activities. Each house has one House Prefect and house points are awarded to boys across the curriculum as well as in major sporting events.

Student leadershipLeadership is evident at many levels within the Junior School. It may be on the sports field, amongst the Pre-Primary boys in the sandpit or on the stage during a rehearsal. It is a quality to be celebrated.

Leadership does have its rewards. There is the privilege of being seen to be given the gift of a certain degree of influence and being able to guide the actions of others. Our sincere goal, however, is that our boys see leadership as being far more than this. We aim to promote our Year 6 students, in particular, as a group of boys with whom the staff can enjoy companionship, conversation, academic rigour and good humour in a spirit of engaged and productive optimism. We want our Junior School leaders, namely School Captains, Prefects and Councillors to animate the Year 6 community, to model a high level of response to the opportunities provided by Hale School and, as a result, inspire all the boys in the Junior School to believe they can do the same.

During Semester 2, the Year 5 boys will be led through a leadership programme that will prepare them for their roles and duties when they are in Year 6. At the culmination of the programme, the boys are asked to nominate themselves and explain how they can contribute to the school community. These nominations are then voted on by boys and considered by the whole Junior School staff.

Health and physical education

AIMS

In Pre-Primary to Year 6, students attend Health and Physical Education classes twice a cycle. The focus is on learning in, through and about movement. Developing fundamental movement skills, applying these into a range of movement contexts, improving understanding of what it means to be healthy, and development of interpersonal skills allows students the opportunity to enhance their well-being. The Health and Physical Education curriculum supports the sporting carnivals and JPSSA weekly sport, ensuring students have every opportunity to develop a love for physical activity.

BEFORE SCHOOL TRAINING

Tuesday before school sports training is compulsory for all boys in Years 5 and 6, and optional for boys in Years 3 and 4. This training is conducted in all weather, from 7.30am to 8.20am.

JPSSA SPORT

Every Thursday afternoon boys from Years 5 and 6 are involved in sporting activities against the other PSA boys’ schools. Summer sport options include basketball, volleyball, cricket, tennis and water polo. Winter sport options include rugby, AFL, soccer and hockey.

INTERSCHOOL SWIM TRIALS – TWILIGHT MEET

In Term 1, boys from Years 4 to 6 have the opportunity to participate in the Twilight Swim Meet. This meet is the selection process for the interschool swimming team.

YEAR 4 SPORTS PROGRAMME

The boys take part in sporting carnivals against other JPSSA schools six times per year. Leading up to each carnival, the boys develop the relevant skills during Physical Education lessons and on Thursday afternoons during sport time. This is an opportunity for the Year 4 students to sample some of the JPSSA sports they can choose when they move into Year 5. The carnivals are for basketball, cricket, hockey, AFL, soccer and rugby.

INTERHOUSE CARNIVALS

Throughout the year, boys from Years 1 to 6 will participate in four carnivals (one per term) for their house. The carnivals are:

Term 1 – swimmingTerm 2 – cross countryTerm 3 – athleticsTerm 4 – triathlon

(Pre-Primary students will participate in some of these carnivals in modified events).

HALE CONNECT TRIATHLON

The programme is designed to connect Hale students with other community groups in a fun and inclusive manner. Using the multi-discipline sport of triathlon (swim, bike, run), students in Years 4 to 6 from Hale School and other local primary schools test their personal boundaries while interacting and supporting each other through the challenges that triathlon presents. The programme starts in Term 3, with the final training session in Term 4 being race day.

SING 2 LEARN

This classroom singing programme harnesses the power of Music Education to aid in the development of numeracy, literacy, social skills and emotional and physical wellbeing. It’s also lots of fun! Boys will be involved in short, targeted sessions of singing and movement designed to engage their bodies and minds for the learning ahead.

PRE-PRIMARY - 6 CLASSROOM MUSIC

All boys in Pre-Primary to Year 6 attend Music class during each cycle. Through an engaging and sequential curriculum, boys will explore and develop skills in listening, singing, reading, moving, composition, musical literacy, improvisation and collaborative music making using a range of instruments.

MusicTHE JUNIOR SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAMMES

20 Music

The classroom Music programme supports our highly-effective Instrumental and Ensemble Music programme, ensuring a comprehensive, practical and vibrant approach to every boy’s musical development.

YEARS 2 - 6 ENSEMBLE MUSIC

Throughout Years 2 to 6, boys will have the opportunity to participate in the Ensemble music programme designed for all boys to learn a musical instrument in a band or orchestra context within the school day. The ensemble programme is an exciting way to learn music that will engage boys through learning music concepts in a practical and collaborative setting.

While it is not a requirement for boys to take individual instrumental tuition to be involved in an ensemble, regular practice is essential and individual tuition is highly recommended after group lessons cease. Please see below for details for particular year groups.

YEAR 2

SCHOOL SONG

We are called together in God’s spirit, filled with faith each day.

Precious hist’ry we recall with pride to guide us on our way.

Seek to conquer roads to justice, take the path to meet our fears.

Let us go as one united in trust throughout the years.

We will rise with mighty wings on high, our honour will prevail.

Duty stands with us from strength to strength, eternally at Hale.

We are brothers standing side by side, companions to the end.

With our hearts and minds open wide to serve and to defend.

Lift our voices, lead our nation, toil and not to seek for rest.

Be it knowledge or wonder we strive to do our best.

We will rise with mighty wings on high, our honour will prevail.

Duty stands with us from strength to strength, eternally at Hale.

There are also four chartered buses servicing the School. These run from Craigie, Dianella, Mosman Park and Ocean Reef.

Timetables and further details are available via the Hale School portal. Timetables are also available from Junior School reception.

SMARTRIDER CONCESSION CARDSAll students are eligible to receive Student SmartRider concession cards. An application form is available from the Junior School reception.

ABSENTEES & LATE ARRIVALSAll boys are expected to attend school punctually. If they are late to school, boys or parents must report to the Junior School Reception to sign in and advise of their late arrival before going to class.

Absences from school and late arrivals are to be reported to the Junior School Reception on the day of the absence by 8.30am. Parents are encouraged to email this notification using the absentee email address absenteejunior@hale.wa.edu.au or phone the Junior School Reception on 9347 9739.

LEAVE CARDSLeave cards for external appointments during school hours can be obtained from Junior School Reception, but only if parents have advised the School by either phone, in person or email absenteejunior@hale.wa.edu.au. Please advise the following details:

• date• estimated time out of school• estimated time back in school• reason for leave

27General matters

Boys are not to leave the school at any time during the school day without a leave card being collected by their parent/guardian from Junior School Reception. Parents must collect a signed leave card from Junior School Reception before collecting your son from class. When returning your son to school, the parent must hand the leave card to reception before he goes back to class.

ALLERGY AWARENESS

Food allergies are becoming more and more common and allergies to peanuts and other varieties of nuts result in alarming and dangerous reactions.

Whilst our canteen has a policy of not providing any forms of nuts, and we ask that boys do not bring any nuts or nut products to school, it is impossible to regard Hale School as a nut-free environment.

The parents of boys with severe allergies are asked to contact the Health Centre so that precise information can be distributed to all staff involved in teaching them. Boys are also discouraged from sharing lunch. The School will assist parents in developing their son’s awareness of his condition.

Special dietary procedures are put in place for all boys with food allergies on all of our camps. Hale School will always work with parents to ensure as safe an environment as possible is provided.

HOLIDAYS DURING TERM TIME

Parents are asked to respect the term dates when planning holidays. It is difficult for class teachers and the school as a whole to operate effectively and efficiently when there are absences during term time. Where such trips are unavoidable, parents are asked to inform the form teacher as well as Head of the Junior School requesting leave from the School. The Head of Junior School will reply to all correspondence regarding a boy’s departure from school when it is for longer than two days and not as a result of illness.

Teachers will not provide a programme of work for boys who are leaving during term time.

BICYCLE HELMETS

Boys who ride a bicycle or scooter to school must wear a helmet.

MOBILE PHONES

Mobile devices are a part of everyday life and provide parents and their sons with a degree of security with regard to missed buses and changes in expected routines after school. Where boys are provided with a mobile phone or device, it remains their responsibility at all times and may not be used during the school day for any reason. Communication with parents during the school day must be done with the teacher’s permission and conducted from the front office.

AFTER SCHOOL CAREOUTSIDE OF SCHOOL CARE (OSC) PROGRAMME

The Camp Australia Outside of School Care (OSC) programme is an extension of Hale School, providing the boys with a safe environment in which they can explore and play. The OSC programme at Hale allows time for homework, relaxation, educational activities and a healthy snack.

To find out more about OSC at Hale

Phone: 1300 105 343

or visit: www.campaustralia.com.au/Schools/HaleSchool/E729

Registration is free.

The Federal Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is available. Eligibility for the subsidy is determined by three key elements – your combined family’s annual adjusted income, your child care fees (hourly rate caps apply for each service type) and your fortnightly activity (paid and unpaid work or study). For more information on what you are entitled to and how to claim, contact the Family Assistance Office on 136 150 or log into MyGov and complete your CCS assessment.

28 Parent involvement and communication

Parent involvement and communication PARENT & FAMILY CONTACT

MEDICAL FORM & EMERGENCY CONTACT DETAILS

A strict condition of enrolment at Hale School is completion of our standard Health Record.

An Emergency Contact form is issued at the beginning of each year to every student and has to be completed and returned. Parents are responsible for keeping the School informed of any changes during the year.

The issue of medication at school is a complex one. It is most important that:

• the classroom teacher be advised of short-term medication requirements

• the Head of Junior School, School Nurse and the class teacher are advised of the full nature of long-term medication requirements

Medications for ADD or ADHD are kept in the school safe. They are distributed by the Junior School Receptionist and a daily record is kept. This security and accountability are essential and are taken extremely seriously in accordance with the Poisons Act 1964.

PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT

The Parent Information Night will be held on the evening of Monday 3 February 2020 and gives parents the opportunity to meet the Head of Junior School and all of our Junior School team. This gives parents an insight into the curriculum and the requirements set by individual teachers and includes details on our homework policy, discipline and the role of the parent.

PARENT REPRESENTATIVES

Each year group has a Parent Representative. This voluntary position provides the opportunity for informal or social functions

to be arranged for the parents of that class. Representatives sometimes also organise functions out of school hours for the boys in their son’s class. It is important that such events are adequately supervised by volunteer parents and that functions held off campus are not booked under the School’s name. Class teachers, the Head of Junior School and Community Relations are happy to give guidance on such events, which can be very positive opportunities for social interaction.

EXCURSIONS

Parents are asked to sign a consent form at the beginning of Term 1 for any excursions planned for the year. Details of excursions are uploaded onto the Portal under Correspondence.

PARENTS’ & FRIENDS’ ASSOCIATION

The Parents’ and Friends’ Association provides all parents with the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the large number of school-related social activities that take place each year. You are invited to attend the P&F meetings held in the Senior School Administration building twice a term.

CANTEEN

The Canteen Manager readily accepts any assistance from parents. The canteen opens from 8.15am and will take lunch orders until the first bell at 8.30am. There are different menus for summer and winter that are constantly reviewed. These can be viewed and ordered on the Hale School Portal. However, since learning to handle and count cash is important, snacks are to be purchased by the boys using cash.

All boys are expected to have lunch each day, either provided from home or purchased from the canteen. Where a boy needs to purchase lunch from the canteen and has no money, a debit note will be placed in his diary.

29Parent involvement and communication

PARENT HELP (PRE-PRIMARY TO YEAR 2)

Throughout the year there will be opportunities for parents to share in their son’s learning. Parent assistance may be required during excursions and class-based activities such as literacy/mathematics groups, science afternoons, cooking, craft, or reading. These opportunities allow parents to become immersed in the classroom atmosphere, to communicate with boys, and to share in the unique learning activities within each class. It should be noted that parents will not always be working directly with their sons. Grandparents, relatives and special friends are also very welcome to come and assist.

PARENT RESPONSIBILITY

Please:

• Encourage your son to be responsible for his belongings by requesting that he carries his own bag, unpacks his books and places his lunch order in the class basket.

• Have your son’s name written on all articles, including his library bag and school bag. It is important to clearly and permanently label all articles.

• On days when your son has Physical Education, he is required to wear his sports uniform to and from school.

• Remind your son to bring his library bag to school on days when he has Learning Hub.

• Contact the Junior School office before 8.30am if your son is sick or unable to attend school. Please email this notification to absenteejunior@hale.wa.edu.au or phone 9347 9739. Boys or parents must report to Junior School Reception to sign in and advise of their late arrival before going to class.

• If head lice are detected in your son’s hair, you will be contacted by the office to collect him from school. The Health Department states that exclusion from school is until the day after treatment has commenced. Regularly check your son’s scalp for signs of lice or their eggs (nits).

• Do not allow your son to bring personal toys to school as loss or damage can be upsetting.

• Give out invitations discreetly and preferably to the parents if your son is celebrating his birthday with a party.

• Limit the amount of money brought to school if your son is purchasing food or drink from the canteen.

• If you have any concerns or queries, please seek advice directly from your class teacher. Positive and considered communication between parents and the School will result in issues being addressed professionally and constructively.

• Informal interviews often take place around the school. However, parents are asked to appreciate that often it is not possible for a teacher to stop and talk when they are involved in the busy routine of daily professional life. An alternative time can always be arranged with a phone call, email or request in the student’s homework diary.

HOMEWORK DIARY

As previously explained, the Junior School Homework Diary is an important feature of the day-to-day routine for a student at Hale School. Each day, homework is recorded and each evening parents are requested to sign the diary after checking their son’s homework. The amount of time spent on homework is also to be noted. Each Friday, the classroom teacher or specialist teacher will provide a brief written summary of your son’s work habits for the week. The homework diary also serves as an important communication tool between school and home. Parents’ comments and replies to staff comments should reflect the School’s intention to communicate in an open, positive and honest spirit.

PRIVACY

From time to time, the School may photograph and film boys within the school environment. Such material, which may identify your son, is used by the School for promotional purposes on its website, social media and in various publications both within the School and the wider community. Should you not wish for your son’s photograph to be used for promotional purposes, please advise the Director of Community Engagement on 9347 9729.

EMAILING STAFF

All teaching staff at Hale School have a fully networked notebook computer and email is the formal method of communication in the Junior School. Parents should not hesitate to contact staff directly via their Hale email address or via Junior School administration at jnradmin@hale.wa.edu.au
