Dear Parents and Carers,

Scripture will start next week. It is run on a Thursday with

teachers provided from respective churches and Ethics group.

All staff have working with children checks and have been

trained and approved by their governing body. There are

limits on number of students who can do Ethics and so some

students who have selected this may not get in.

Crunch and Sip is a program many schools run, including ours.

It allows students to have a quick break half way through their

morning session to eat a piece of fruit or vegetable. Please

remember how fast your child eats and the fact that they only

have a quick break. It is best if they have a whole piece of fruit

that it is cut ready for them, or in the case of an orange,

peeled. (This is critical in Kindergarten.)

Recess and Lunch

This has been a controversial topic in the media over the past

couple of weeks and the needs for healthy lunches. All classes

are supervised during the eating time. Students should be

provided with a wholesome snack for recess and a sandwich

and perhaps a treat at lunch. It is important that food is not

“junk” food as too much sugar upsets the brain and sugar

levels and interferes with students’ ability to concentrate. In

some instances some foods make children aggressive. Please

consider what you pack. Encourage your child not to share as

we do have a number of students who have Anaphylactic

reactions to some foods. For this reason we ask that you not

send nuts or peanut butter sandwiches to school. We are not

a nut free school but if we can all work together to make it a

safer place for all students is great. This goes for birthday

cakes parents might send in. It is best if they are cup cakes and

the ingredients are listed on the container. I know this is time

consuming but some students are allergic to eggs and other

food products.

Health Care Plan

I know I spoke of these previously but it is essential that you

provide the school with a Health Care Plan, in colour, signed

by your doctor. If you have indicated, on enrolment that your

child has asthma or an allergy, these need to be provided

ASAP, along with the appropriate medication, that is a puffer

or epipen.

Swimming Carnival

I must apologise for my oversight in not thanking the Ulladulla

Swim Club for their part in the successful swimming carnival

held a couple of weeks ago. Your ongoing support is

appreciated by the school and assist us in ensuring things are

done correctly and that we have enough shade and helpers to

make the day run smoothly.

School Photos are coming up next week. Please return your

note with correct money as soon as possible.

Concerns

If you have a concern in regard to your child, please contact

the class teacher in the first instance. This will, in most cases,

answer your concerns. If you are not happy with the handling

of an issue by a classroom teacher then please contact their

supervisor and they will organise a combined meeting with

you and the staff member. We need to keep open

communication and work as a team to support student

learning. Address issues quickly, don’t keep them bottled up,

but remember there is always two sides to every issue.

Harmony Day, is being held on the 21st March with

performances by students and a picnic lunch. If you have a

business and want to provide a “pop up café” for the day let

us know.

P&C are into organising Market Day. For those of you who are

not sure what this is it is similar to a school fete. If you want to

help please let the P&C know what times you are available.

Bus Passes

All students travelling to and or from school require a bus

pass. These are ordered on line. If you need help the bus

company will assist. The website for applications is

Have a great week

Thank you to all involved in the preparation, set up and run-

ning of the carnival.

This semester we are trialling a change in our school assembly routine in order to develop stronger partnerships between Infants

and Primary students and teachers.

There will be no more separate Infants and Primary assemblies. All students will be split into two groups (Assembly A or

Assembly B) and will have a K-6 Assembly every fortnight (approximately). There is a timetable below that outlines what

assembly group your child is in and when their class item is on. (Infants assembly items will be scheduled for Terms 3 & 4).

Assemblies will start at 12pm on a Friday unless specified below.

Please check to see if your child is in Assembly group A or B and note the dates of the Assembly.

In addition, there will be whole school assemblies (every student) for special events such as Harmony Day ANZAC and NAIDOC

Day.

We will send home a survey during Term 2 to get your thoughts on this trial.

Kinder News

While the new Kindergarten children are

settling into school routines, we ask that you

please do not send any money to school to

spend at the canteen. Kinder children

become confused and upset with this new

experience. Children are able to order their

lunch by placing an order in the lunch basket

in the classroom. Kindergarten will be able to

go to the canteen from Monday 27th

February.

Thank you for your support and

understanding in this matter.
