2018 Semester Two Summative Student Reports emailed to you TODAY Friday 7 December 2018

Today I have emailed the Semester Two 2018 Summative Reports to you. You should have received two links, The School Position Report shows your child's learning area achievement in comparison to other students in their peer group at the school. The information shows the number of students in each achievement level and the total number of students within the learning area. Please ask me directly to explain the purpose of the School Position Report if you have any queries, thank you.

If you have not received your report, please email me and I will email you a copy.

While my experience has been that many people adore having an electronic copy of their child/rens summative reports that they can download and print as many times as they wish, should you like me to

Tuart Hill Primary School

Independent Public School

Banksia St Tuart Hill WA 6060

Ph: 9349 1799

Email: TuartHill.PS@education.wa.edu.au

provide a hard copy of your child/rens Summative Report please let me know via email when I send you the link, and I will ensure that the hard copy is passed to your child before Thursday 13 December 2018.

Once you have taken the weekend to read through your child/ren’s Summative Report, I encourage you to approach the teacher concerned or me to clarify any grade or comment.

Our teachers hope that parents will welcome this initiative to distribute Summative Reports a little earlier to allow for interviews if required and celebrations of superb student achievement.

International Day of People With Disability: 3 December 2018

I invite you to join me in recognising the International Day of People with Disability on 3 December 2018.

Across the world and each year, this day aims to raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability; and to celebrate their achievements and contributions. The United Nation’s theme for 2018 is “Empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusivity and equality.”

More information on getting involved and including people with disability by removing physical, technological and attitudinal barriers is on the International Day of People with Disability website https://www.idpwd.com.au/.

Violence in Schools – Please be informed regarding the Policy Release from the Minister of Education

Violence in schools is a complex issue which impacts students, staff and community members. No matter how rare or frequent incidents are, school staff need support and guidance.

A three year action plan has been developed to help principals and school staff address violence in their schools. It includes actions that will:

provide school staff with clarity around their authority and responsibilities

provide training for school staff

clarify when suspensions and exclusions are appropriate and required

provide new learning settings for the most violent students

guide principals in developing ‘good standing’ requirements for their school behaviour policies.

The plan relates to students who are intentionally violent and want to cause psychological and/or physical harm to others. It does not relate to students with a disability who either cannot control their behaviour or do not intend to harm others.

Let’s take a stand together is the State Government’s Statement on violence in schools.
