Principal’s report
Welcome back
I trust all of our families enjoyed a relaxing holiday. We
are in for another huge term of events and learning
opportunities for our students. To provide parents with
a picture of all of the events, (at this stage!) I have
included a term calendar at the back of this newsletter.
Various permission notes and other pieces of
information regarding these many events will be sent
out in due course.
Sun Safety
The staff and I will be reviewing our school’s sun safety
policy early this term. Whilst we have had an on-going
expectation that hats must be worn during the hotter
terms (namely Terms 1 & 4), this needs to be reviewed
in light of the concern with harmful UV rays being
present at all times of the year. Indeed sun protection
in the form of protective hats, clothing and sunscreen
is recommended as soon as the UV reading is above 3.
It is expected that all of our students will be wearing
their school bucket hats at all times during the day
when outside. Our ‘No Hat Play in the Shade’ policy is
being enforced daily. Please ensure that your child’s
school hat is labelled with their name!
Megha, Grace & Ellie understand the importance of sun
protection
Spring Fair is nearing!
A reminder to all of our families that next Friday 18
October is our Spring Fair. A huge thank you to all of
our families who supported our bottle stall drive – we
have stacks of wonderful bottled-up treats! Other ways
we need help are by offering to assist at a stall, making
lots of cakes, slices and treats for our cake stall (these
need to be brought to school the day of the Spring
fair), keep selling those raffle tickets (all tickets and
money must be returned by Friday 18 October. Bring
your family and friends and support this wonderful
event!
Kinder 2014
This term we will be welcoming our 2014 intake of
Kindergarten students and their families. Next week we
will be holding a special Story-time session in the
library where I will be sharing a favourite story of mine
with the new kinders. Some of our Year 5 students will
also get the opportunity to meet their new buddies for
next year and share a story with them.
New landscaping – thank you P&C!
During the holidays the areas in front of the
Kindergarten room and the hall were revamped,
making them much tidier and greatly improving the
aesthetics of these areas. These works would not be
possible without the funding support of our very
generous P&C – thank you!
Thank you P&C for enabling this landscaping work to be
completed

Child Protection lessons
Every year, as part of our PD/H/PE curriculum, all
classes participate in Child Protection lessons. The aim
of child protection in primary schools is to assist
students in developing skills in recognising and
responding to unsafe situations, seeking assistance
effectively and establishing and maintaining
relationships and strengthening attitudes and values
related to equality, respect and responsibility.
This term Mrs Kimber and Mrs Commins will be
delivering the Child Protection lessons as part of their
PD/H/PE programs. Throughout the program the same
three themes are discussed, with topics aimed
specifically to cater for the age level of our students.
These themes are:
Recognising abuse
Power in relationships
Protective strategies
There are certainly some sensitive topics which are
covered, but it is vitally important that we provide our
students with the knowledge and strategies to deal
with unsafe situations. Teachers are provided with clear
guidelines for dealing with these topics and a very
prescriptive lesson is provided for each topic covered.
Whilst it is mandatory that we teach Child Protection to
our students, parents may choose for their child not to
participate in these. If parents do not wish their child to
participate please contact Mrs Thurston in writing.
Alternative activities will be provided for children not
participating. Parents wishing to view the content of
these lessons can visit them at:
http://www.curriculumsupport.education.nsw.gov.au/pr
imary/pdhpe/safe/cpe.htm
Physical education sessions
This year Mrs Kimber and Mrs Commins are instructing
all classes in our PD/H/PE curriculum. Each week every
class participates in a physical education (PE) skills and
fitness session. We request that children wear their
sports uniform on their PE day (as well as on Friday
sport day). PE days for each class are:
Tuesday: Kindergarten, K/1, Year 3 & Year 4
Wednesday: Year 1, Year 2,5/6g & 5/6B
Fresh and Fit
On Wednesday we had 3 visitors from the Griffith Fresh
and Fit team who presented a session to the Stage 3
children on healthy eating and sensible lifestyle
choices. Here are some of the things they found out!
If you aren’t a smoker it can still affect your
health. (Eilee)
There are over 4000 chemicals in cigarettes.
Some can give you heart disease, make you
have a heart attack and give you cancer.
(Matthew Y)
Fresh fruit and vegeyables are important in our
diet. (Erin H)
Energy drinks are not for children. They can
cause heart attacks. (Courtney)
Chips with gravy and a coke blended up looks
and smells disgusting! (Maddison)
Healthy fruit smoothies were a treat!
Community News Confirmation
Parents of confirmation candidates are asked to send
their email address to Catherine Armstrong at their
earliest convenience for weekly correspondence that
