Principal’s Report

If your child has come home complaining about an incident with another

student, I ask you to please communicate your concerns to the school as

soon as is practicable. The school has two student welfare teachers that

are here to sort out these difficulties when they occur. Under no

circumstances are parents to approach children in regard to the

complaint. Parents/Adults who approach other children in the school yard

are at risk of being given a trespass order banning them from being on the

school grounds or police intervention.

School Toilets

To ensure the safety of all our children, adults are not to use or enter the

children’s toilets under any circumstances. If you need to use toilet

facilities I ask that you use the public toilets across the road in the

shopping centre. The boys and girls toilets are not designed for use by

adults. I thank you for your cooperation here.

Parent-Teacher Information Exchanges

Parent-Teacher Information Exchanges have been on Tuesday and again

tonight. This gives parents and teachers the opportunity to get to know

each other and share information about the students. In addition to these

meetings if you feel you need to speak to your child’s teacher at any time

please call the school to make an appointment.

New Flagged Crossing Over the summer holidays Brimbank Council have installed a children’s

crossing on the south side of Shepperd way. Currently this crossing is not

manned by a crossing supervisor, however when the crossing is flagged

all the same road rules apply.

I ask everyone to follow the road rules pertaining to flagged children’s

crossing, 40kmh speed limits and parking regulations around the school

Children are especially vulnerable around vehicles and roads due to their

size and capabilities.

When walking with your children make sure you are using the school

or pedestrian crossings rather than taking potentially unsafe shortcuts.

Talk with your children about the importance of stopping and looking

both ways before you cross any road.

Always demonstrate responsible and safe behaviours when driving, as a

passenger or while walking anywhere around vehicles and roads.

The school is in regular communication with Brimbank Council about

making pedestrian crossings around the school safer for all users.

Hopefully it won’t be long before Brimbank Council agrees to provide a

crossing supervisor for the new crossing.

Supervision At School & Out Of School Hours Care

The school grounds are supervised from 8.30am until 8.55am in the

Hours Care program where fees apply. These measures are in place to ensure the safety of your children.

Supervision cannot be guaranteed before 8.30am and after 3.35pm.

The Out of School Hours Care program run by Camp Australia provides a safe and secure service for

Helping Hand Mission Once again this year, one of our community minded students, Natalia, is working to collect

funds for the Helping Hand Mission. This charity works to assist families in need in the

western suburbs of Melbourne by providing food and other necessities. Collection tins will be

placed in classrooms on a rotating basis throughout the term, and children are asked to place

any small change they may have into the tin. There will also be a collection tin at the front

reception desk for parents and friends to contribute, and one in the staffroom for school staff.

Thank you for your support of Natalia’s initiative.

CONGRATULATIONS

We would like to congratulate Mr Matthew Tomkins and his wife Breannan on

their marriage which took place in January and wish

them a very happy future together.

We would also like to congratulate Mrs Rhiannon McLay

on the arrival of her son Oscar born in January.




ORDERING A LUNCH ORDER 1. Please print your child’s name & room number clearly on a paper bag.

2. Place the correct money inside the bag.

(If your order has change, it will be taped inside the bag,

please let your child know.)

Please do not staple or tape lunch bags,

instead just fold them.

3. Your child will place the bag in the lunch order tub in

their classroom.

If the money is not correct your child will be supplied with lunch to the

value of the money given.

No foreign money.

BIRTHDAYS AT SCHOOL

If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday at

school, please do not send in large cakes.

Alternatively, send cupcakes (due to food allergies, a list of ingredients

is required), donuts or lolly bags.

Let the teacher know in advance that you are planning to do this.







EMERGENCY SNACKS AND

LUNCHES FROM THE CANTEEN

In the second half of last year there were many students having

emergency snacks or lunches from the canteen.

These emergency meals are for students who genuinely forget to order

or bring their snack or lunch from home. Students, in this case will be

provided with an emergency snack or lunch of either a vegemite or jam

sandwich from the canteen.

An account will then be sent home to parents requesting payment of

50 cents for the snack or $1 for the lunch provided which is to be

paid back to the canteen the next day.

For students that receive these emergency meals and have spending

money for the canteen, their spending money will be used as payment

for the outstanding amount.

Thank you.

Second Hand Uniforms If you have any uniform items that your children have grown out of,

please consider donating them to the second-hand uniform shop.

The items must be washed and clean & in good condition.

Items can be handed in at the office.

All proceeds from the uniform shop are donated to State School Relief.

Thank you.

Second Hand Uniform Shop Hours

Thursday ONLY 8.40am - 9.00am
