Dear Parents/Carers,

You will no doubt have seen the new signage around our

school that reflect our school values. These values reflect a

change in the way we are working with students around

their behaviour. While there is a need to reprimand and

provide students with consequences for behaviour that is

hurtful and dangerous, it is also equally important to teach

children what acceptable behaviour looks like. After all, we

don’t know, what we don’t know. Our values are ones that

are no doubt shared by our community, those of Respect,

Responsibility and Resilience.

Over the last two terms we have been introducing these

words to all students at our school and discussing what each

of the values might look like in their everyday lives. Our next

step along the way is to introduce to students and families

our Behaviour Matrix. This outlines specifically what it looks

like to be respectful, responsible and resilient in each of the

different environments in our school (for example the

classroom, playground etc.) We will begin this week by

introducing the general rules of respectful, responsible and

resilient behaviour across the general school environment.

Posters have been created and lessons will be taught to all

students around what their behaviour should look like

within our school. I am sure that this is very similar to what

you expect at home and so I ask that you continue the

discussions with your children when they get home. If we

are clear in what we expect then it is easier for children to

behave in a socially acceptable way. So many of you are so

great at working with us on the important issues – this is the

next issue we are tackling.

I would especially like to thank Mrs Jacki Beale for all of the

amazing work she has done, and continues to do around our

school values project. Mrs Beale does this on top of her

teaching load and has done such an amazing job that her

work is being used as an exemplar in other schools. We are

committed to make each student an informed and socially

adept citizen of our community. Thank you for working with

us on this.

Also on this note, overnight and offsite excursions come

with issues around behaviour and safety for all involved. For

Make a Payment Term 3, Week 8

Monday 9th September 2019

What’s on ……

SEPTEMBER

9th Premier’s Spelling Bee - Blayney

13th Western Region Athletics

13th Primary Assembly 12.10pm

20th Infants Assembly 2pm

27th Last Day of Term 3

this reason I added to the bottom of the notes that I reserve

the right to not allow students on excursions if I deem their

behaviour to be of too greater risk. For clarity, this line

means that any child who has had a suspension since the

beginning of Term 3 will not be allowed to attend the major

excursions for Stage 2 & 3 at the end of the year. Students

who have received Levels will be assessed on a case by case

basis. I will contact parents if their child is no longer eligible

for an excursion and any fees paid will be fully refunded. If

you have questions please make a time and I am happy to

chat.

Finally, I would like to thank Mrs Ryan for her hard work

around preparing the Premier’s Spelling Bee students for this

week’s competition in Blayney. We wish them all the best in

their endeavours and know that they will make us proud.

Enjoy your week!

Regards,

Catherine Briggs
