PARENT REQUESTS FOR LATE PAYMENTS

Please be aware that when you request to make a

late payment after cut off dates the team planning

the event may have already organised

arrangements according to numbers paid and your request cannot be accommodated. It is

rarely just your payment that is late as there are

usually other parents that miss the cut off time

as well.

I would request that you contact the school before

the cut off date if you are worried you may not be

able to meet the payment deadline. Our school is

very caring of our students and we do want

everyone to participate and share the experiences that the class teachers organise. Our staff are

conscious of the minimising the number of extra

curricula activities they plan for the year however

parents need to do their bit and meet the

timelines given.

We have worked hard to give long time lines and

it seems that some parents forget to put a

reminder in their phone to meet the cut off dates. Threatening to go to the Department will not alter

the arrangements that the school has in place.

We are like many other schools and have had to

be strict with timelines given the number of

students and activities we are arranging.

Please note that the office staff are

following directions when they tell you that the activity is closed and as

such deserve to be spoken to

respectfully. We have four Assistant

Principals and myself who are here

to confidentially assist if you need to discuss late

payments etc. Please add reminders to your phone or written diaries and access compass

weekly.

2020 PLANNING

The teachers have been busy over the past few

weeks creating grades for 2020. Please remember

that just as we gave you the opportunity to

request student separations other parents have also made requests. Parents have also requested

specific teachers and friends for their children to

be with. We use a number criteria to place

students in classes coupled with parent

separation requests and student friendship

requests.

We understand that at this time

of the year students, parents and

staff are keen to know this information and we are working

through our planning as quickly

as we can. YOU can assist your child by

encouraging resilience and being positive

about the new year and new friendship opportunities that may arise.

2020 PREP TRANSITION SESSIONS

Yesterday we welcomed some of our 2020 Prep

students for their first official Orientation Day. It

was wonderful to see their smiling faces and the ease with which they settled into the

session. It takes a great deal of

planning and people to manage such

sessions and I thank our team for all

their pre planning and work on the day. We will have two more Wednesday afternoon

sessions and then the children will join us for the

Whole School Transition Day on Tuesday 10th

December. If your child is not going to be here at

EVPS in 2020 they will not be required at school

on the Whole School Transition Day.

in the final.

GAMES IN THE PARK

The weather is getting warmer and it’s a great time to be outside! Put on some comfortable walking shoes and go for a stroll, or head down to the local park with the family and get active - take a ball, skipping rope or other fun game to play, such as this one:

Meet a Tree Game

The Meet a Tree Game tests how well kids know the trees in their favourite park -- and how well they remember details. Kids use every sense but sight to explore a tree, and then see if they can find that tree again once their sight is restored. Play this easy outdoor game for kids in a wooded area or a park with lots of trees.

What You'll Need:

Area with a lot of trees

Partner

Blindfold

Step 1: Pair up, or work together as a family. One person in each team puts on a blindfold.

Step 2: The partner turns the blindfolded person around two or three times, and then leads the person in a zig-zag path to a tree. The partner must be very careful to lead the blindfolded person around dangers.

Step 3: The blindfolded person explores the tree, taking as much time as he or she needs to feel the texture of the bark, find bumps or hollows, and find patches of moss or other features.

Step 4: When the blindfolded person is done, the partner leads him or her in a zig -zag path away from the tree, turning the blindfolded person around two or three times in the middle.

Step 5: The blindfolded person takes the blindfold off and tries to find the same tree.

Step 6: The partners switch places and explore another tree.

Why should students drink in class? Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. By the time a person is thirsty they are usually already dehydrated to some extent.

Children rarely drink enough during break times at school and often forget to drink unless reminded. Allowing and reminding students to drink water in class increases the likelihood that they will drink more. Drinking often, especially before, during and after physical activity is the best way to stay hydrated.

How much water should children drink?

The recommended daily amounts of fluid for children and adolescents are:

5 glasses (1 litre) for 5 - 8 year olds

7 glasses (1.5 litres) for 9 - 12 year olds

8-10 glasses (2 litres) for 13+ years * a glass is 200 ml

More water is needed if children are exercising or sweating due to heat.
