Dear Parents/Carers,
You will no doubt have seen the new signage around our
school that reflect our school values. These values reflect a
change in the way we are working with students around
their behaviour. While there is a need to reprimand and
provide students with consequences for behaviour that is
hurtful and dangerous, it is also equally important to teach
children what acceptable behaviour looks like. After all, we
don’t know, what we don’t know. Our values are ones that
are no doubt shared by our community, those of Respect,
Responsibility and Resilience.
Over the last two terms we have been introducing these
words to all students at our school and discussing what each
of the values might look like in their everyday lives. Our next
step along the way is to introduce to students and families
our Behaviour Matrix. This outlines specifically what it looks
like to be respectful, responsible and resilient in each of the
different environments in our school (for example the
classroom, playground etc.) We will begin this week by
introducing the general rules of respectful, responsible and
resilient behaviour across the general school environment.
Posters have been created and lessons will be taught to all
students around what their behaviour should look like
within our school. I am sure that this is very similar to what
you expect at home and so I ask that you continue the
discussions with your children when they get home. If we
are clear in what we expect then it is easier for children to
behave in a socially acceptable way. So many of you are so
great at working with us on the important issues – this is the
next issue we are tackling.
I would especially like to thank Mrs Jacki Beale for all of the
amazing work she has done, and continues to do around our
school values project. Mrs Beale does this on top of her
teaching load and has done such an amazing job that her
work is being used as an exemplar in other schools. We are
committed to make each student an informed and socially
adept citizen of our community. Thank you for working with
us on this.
Also on this note, overnight and offsite excursions come
with issues around behaviour and safety for all involved. For

Make a Payment Term 3, Week 8
Monday 9th September 2019
What’s on ……
SEPTEMBER
9th Premier’s Spelling Bee - Blayney
13th Western Region Athletics
13th Primary Assembly 12.10pm
20th Infants Assembly 2pm
27th Last Day of Term 3
this reason I added to the bottom of the notes that I reserve
the right to not allow students on excursions if I deem their
behaviour to be of too greater risk. For clarity, this line
means that any child who has had a suspension since the
beginning of Term 3 will not be allowed to attend the major
excursions for Stage 2 & 3 at the end of the year. Students
who have received Levels will be assessed on a case by case
basis. I will contact parents if their child is no longer eligible
for an excursion and any fees paid will be fully refunded. If
you have questions please make a time and I am happy to
chat.
Finally, I would like to thank Mrs Ryan for her hard work
around preparing the Premier’s Spelling Bee students for this
week’s competition in Blayney. We wish them all the best in
their endeavours and know that they will make us proud.
Enjoy your week!
Regards,
Catherine Briggs
