BAND CAMP
A large number of our Lake Cathie Public School band students joined me at the annual Community of Schools Band Camp at the Francis Retreat, Bonny Hills. We joined students from Kendall, Laurieton, North Haven, Moorland Public Schools and also some great kids from Camden Haven High School. Mrs Skerritt, Mrs Bruggeman and Mrs Menzies from North Haven, along with Mr Richardson, music teacher from Camden Haven High School and a large number of volunteers, joined Mrs Irving and myself for three great days at band camp. The kids were fantastic and the final band camp concert was brilliant. There were great meals, games nights, developing friendships and a good deal of fun and we encourage more of our band members to join us next year.
DIABETES TRAINING
Staff have recently undertaken another professional learning session to support students with Type 1 Diabetes in our school. Thanks to our Local Area Health Team and Vicki Barber for helping to provide us with current information to assist us with daily routine support for our students.
BUS SAFETY MESSAGE
Busways, in partnership with the Department of Transport and Schools across the state, have for a number of years maintained a policy of “Bags on the Front” when getting on and off the school buses. This is in relation to student injuries sustained when boarding the bus where a bag may contain sharp objects at eye level for the student lining up and boarding behind. When getting off the bus, bags on the front makes sure a child’s bag is not caught in the door as it closes as happened to a primary aged student unbeknown to the driver. We are in the process of arranging our annual bus safety talk with Busways where this issue will be reinforced. When children are safely off the bus, it is highly appropriate for the bag to return to the correct position on their back.
NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA
As mentioned in previous newsletters, students with a confirmed disability, physically or mentally, are required to be identified on a National data collection register called the NCCD. Details of personal information are held confidentially in line with national privacy regulations and are used to assist Government initiatives and support mechanisms for students with a disability. Collection of this data is finalised this Friday 5 August. This process is conducted by the Principal, counsellor,
WELLBEING FRAMEWORK - LAKE CATHIE PUBLIC SCHOOL
CHILD PROTECTION MODULES - TERM 3
As part of our School’s planning and commitment to the Wellbeing Framework, physical, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing are being addressed through a variety of targeted programs. During Term 3 all students K-6 will participate in a regular series of lessons relating to the Department of Education’s Child Protection policies and lesson material. Content is very appropriate for each age group and staff will work carefully to ensure topics are followed sensitively and comfortably. As part of this process, the Bravehearts organisation will provide free the Ditto Show as outlined below.
FREE BRAVEHEARTS KEEP SAFE SHOW
Show supported this year by the local Braveheart Committee as a free educational experience. Last year students were asked to pay for this show. Thanks to our local Bravehearts volunteers.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will participate in ‘Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure Show’.
The purpose of ‘Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure Show’ is to teach children personal safety in a non-confrontational, fun and engaging fashion. Bravehearts’ Education Teams deliver the shows messages into schools, day care centres, shopping centres, sporting clubs and other facilities (relating to the care of children) to provide students, parents, teachers, carers and the general community with specialised child sexual assault awareness and education.
The shows main contents address:
• Yes and No feelings
• Warning Signs
• Scared and Yucky Feelings
• Private Parts and Privacy
• It’s OK to say NO if you don’t feel safe
• What to do if you feel unsafe or unsure
In addition to the performance and to continue communicating Ditto’s personal safety messages, the team also provides an Activity Book for each student to take home and share with parents and carers.

An updated price list is attached.

SCIENCE FAIR - NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK
As our schools are committed to STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) to enrich the learning, social and future learning opportunities for our students, our senior students will join other primary students from local schools at Panthers Port Macquarie for the 2016 Science Fair. Students from Camden Haven High School, Hastings Secondary College and Wauchope High School will display and demonstrate Science Projects to foster an interest in Science. The Science Fair is on Monday 15 August and transportation is free on buses provided by the local Public High Schools. This is a great initiative and one we hope students in lower grades will have the opportunity to be involved with in the coming years.
BOOK WEEK - COMING SOON
We will have our Book Week Character Day on Thursday 25 August where all students, staff and parents can dress up as a book character to celebrate our love of books and literature. This is advanced warning to get your costume ideas going.

TERM 3 WEEK 2
ASSEMBLY AWARD WINNERS
We have just under one week until our first P&C meeting of the term, on Tuesday 9th August at 7pm. We would very much like to see some new faces. Come and find out more about the P&C and the role it plays within our school, and have a say in where fundraising funds get spent.
Fundraising – Gazebo purchaseAny day now our first major purchase to benefit the school will be delivered. Our ironman fundraising (and a little bit more) has purchased 3 sturdy gazebos/sun shelters. We have 1 sized 6 metres by 3 metres and 2 sized 3.5 metres x 4 metres. The largest has the school logo on it’s roof and the smaller two have ‘Lake Cathie Public School’ around the valances. A great branding opportunity wherever we go, and we can’t lose them either! Well done to all involved in the fundraising and the decision making.
Fundraising – School DiscoWhat a fantastic turn-out for a great cause. We added in the teachers’ contributions and will be writing a cheque for $1200! It was great to see so many children attend the disco and the fun factor was obvious. Thank you again to all the volunteers and teachers who made it such a success, especially Mrs McCleary.
Fundraising – Election DayOn the 2nd July we opened up the canteen at 7.30am and got the urns switched on for a big day. We kept the Lake Cathie Bonny Hills Lions Club well watered and they tempted our wallets with bacon and egg, sausage, and steak sandwiches. We raised $256 in sales of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and cold drinks. The Lions made nearly $1400 from their BBQ, which we handed over at about 5pm. It was a great day and a great joint effort with ourselves and the local Lions. They support us and it
was our chance to share the opportunity. A big thank you to the executive committee and volunteers for covering the canteen for the day.
Father’s Day Stall – 30th & 31st AugustOur fundraiser Father’s Day Stall will be held on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st August. There will be a wide variety of gifts available including surf wax made locally at Crescent Head.
All gifts are $5. We have stock available for multiple purchases, however these will be limited to 2 items on the first day, additional items can be purchased on the 31st. Don’t forget your money kids!
CanteenWith the last school newsletter we sent home a roster for Term 3, hoping to attract some more volunteers. Unfortunately our call for help has gone unanswered. The same 6 volunteers are doing their best to cover the 30 shifts for the term. Simple maths, if we had 30 volunteers, that would be one session a term each. Even if you only have a spare hour, we would like to hear from you. Please contact Kylie Whiting in the canteen or myself as soon as possible. Your children will love seeing you behind the counter, believe me!
Uniform Please note new uniform prices are now in place. Uniform forms are available from the office.
