CALENDAR TERM 2 PRINCIPAL’S NEWS
WELLBEING WEEK – BEGINNING MONDAY 18 JUNE This week is Wellbeing Week at Pagewood Public School. You will notice a few changes to the school routine. Homework will be sent home in the form of a grid. Pease feel free to complete as many of these activities as you like. In addition there will be a series of activities taking place before school and during lunchtimes throughout the week. Please see Wellbeing Activity Timetable on page 4.
Please also remember that Thursday is a whole school mufti day. Students are encouraged to dress in bright colours. Please bring a gold coin donation for this day. This donation will go towards our new Street Library and Buddy Bench.
We hope you enjoy taking some time to look after your social, emotional and physical wellbeing.
WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTO – change of date to Thurs 5 July
Due to the weather, we have changed the whole school photo to
Thursday 5 July at 9.30am.
HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR PARENT/TEACHER/STUDENT MEETINGS?
Bookings are now open for parents to make bookings to see the child’s
class teacher. All bookings are made online using the program ‘School
Interviews’. Please see below for how to make an online booking
On Friday 29 June (Term 2 Week 9), your child’s Term 1 and 2 report will
be coming home in their bag. There have been some cosmetic updates to
the look of the report. More importantly, the middle grade, formerly
‘Sound’ is now called ‘Expected Level’. This will mean that your child has
demonstrated through a variety of assessment tasks that they are
working at the expected level for their grade at the half yearly mark.
In Week 10 (Monday 2 July to Friday 6 July), I will encourage all parents to
have a 10 minute meeting with their child’s class teacher. I would also like
your child to be present at the meeting too. This is because they are an
important part of the home-school relationship. However, I will leave the
final decision to parents as to their child’s attendance at the meeting. The
report combined with a parent-teacher-child meeting will provide richer
information about your child’s learning and social development.
Parent/Teacher/Student meetings will be held in Term 2 Week 10
(Monday 2 July to Friday 6 July).
Interviews are strictly 10 minutes and spaces are limited. If you require
more time with a particular teacher, please arrange a separate meeting
with your child’s teacher by email.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
Your child’s ‘Statement of Account’ for Term 2 was sent home in week 2 with your child (or by post if requested).
To pay your child’s ‘Statement of Account’, it is helpful to the school if Parents and Carers use the Parent Online Payment (POP)
system. This is to reduce the amount of cash being handled at school by students and staff. To pay by POP, please go to the
Pagewood Public School website at http://www.pagewood-p.schools.nsw.edu.au and select ‘Make a payment’. Parents and
Carers are welcome to pay for two or more children in one payment.

PARKING – PICK UP & DROP OFF
Bayside Council have installed 15 minute parking spaces in Holloway Street for set down and pick up only during school zone
hours. I am in the process of ordering a new gate to enter the school on Holloway Street. A reminder that these parking spaces
are limited to 15 minutes only to drop off and pick up your children. Please note the Council have been issuing fines to enforce
this 15 minute zone and I do not wish any parent to be fined.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
If parents or grandparents wish to volunteer at school, they are required to complete two documents and hand these to the school
office. These documents are called Appendix 5 and Appendix 6 and can be found on our website at: http://www.pagewood-
p.schools.nsw.edu.au/notes .
These documents replace a Working With Children Check which is no longer required for parent volunteers in schools.

every child during the second half of lunch every day. For Term 2, the following activities are on offer. These activities will change

PAGEWOOD’S PROBLEM SOLVER
If your child would like to participate in this week’s Pagewood’s Problem Solver, please have your child write their answer on a
piece of paper with their name and class, and hand this to Mr Tan by Friday. All solutions are welcome and parents are allowed to
help. The important thing is to have a go!
Last week’s task: Polly loved the colour yellow. All the walls in her new bungalow were yellow. The carpets, curtains and
furniture were yellow too. What colour were the stairs? The answer: a bungalow has no stairs
Well done to Chacha, Tora, Vaughan and Yeldon
