Dear Parents/ Carers

Term 1 Parent Teacher Interviews - Optional

Parent/Teacher interviews at the end of Term One will be optional, where the interviews can be either teacher or parent

initiated. The standard Parent/Teacher interviews will remain for all students at the end of Term 2. Now is the time to

indicate to your child’s class teacher if you require an interview before the end of this term. Similarly, you may be

contacted by your child’s class teacher to attend an interview to discuss your child’s progress.

From now until the end of the term please make phone, personal or written contact with your child’s teacher to

arrange an interview time convenient to both parties. Do this by:

1. Calling the office on 9587 3717 and giving your details. The office staff will give your information to the teacher

who will reply to you with possible times.

2. Write a note and give it to the teacher or put it in the office collection box. The teacher will reply to you with

possible times. Make sure you include your name, your child’s name and class in the request.

3. Make written contact with the teacher by sending an email requesting an interview by putting Parent/Teacher

Interview Request & Teacher’s Name in the subject line. Make sure you include your name, your child’s name and

class in the request. Send emails to carlton-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au

4. Make personal contact with the teacher before or after school.

If your child’s teacher sends you a request for interview, he/she will indicate available times. Please respond quickly to

make a time convenient to both of you. I’m sure families and teachers will benefit from sharing information at this time

of year.

Harmony Day Tuesday 21 Harmony day is a special day where we celebrate the different cultures of Australia. It is not only a special day at our school but a day celebrated all over the country.

The ‘Everyone Belongs’ program is all about inclusiveness, respect and acceptance of all people.

Orange is the official colour of Harmony Day and represents multiculturalism. This is why we are invited to wear orange on Tuesday 21 March and why our special class activities are based around that colour.

Head lice It’s very common for children to get head lice, especially once they go to child care, preschool and school. You can usually treat head lice at home. Head lice are often called nits. Please check your child’s hair for nits/lice regularly. If you find any eggs or lice, please commence treatment as recommended by NSW Health and /or your local GP or pharmacist.

For more information on how to monitor and prevent head lice, please download the parent resource below from the NSW Health website: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/headlice/Pages/default.aspx What are the signs of head lice? Because lice move very fast, they are not always easy to see. Here's what you can watch for: * Frequent scratching * Small red bumps on the scalp, neck and shoulders * Lice eggs, also called nits, which look like tiny, oval shaped, white or clear dots. Nits usually stick at an angle on hair shafts. If you think someone in your family has head lice, it's best to check everyone in the family. Please consult with your local doctor or pharmacist if you have any queries.
