The school is located on land traditionally owned by the Worimi people. The land once formed part of pioneer farmer and artist, James King’s property “Irrawang”. This name comes from an Aboriginal term meaning “water view”.
Since opening in September 1968 with an enrolment of 176 pupils, the school has grown with its surrounding community to be one of the largest primary schools in Raymond Terrace.

SCHOOL CURRICULUM
LOST PROPERTY
Kindergarten to Year 2
All activities at home or in play can assist children to develop a wide range of knowledge and skills including literacy, numeracy and problem solving. It should also be remembered that self-directed play in unstructured time is important. Home readers can also be introduced in Kindergarten. Language and number concepts can be introduced and consolidated in many family activities including:
shopping preparation of food listening to stories, learning songs and nursery rhymes conversations about what is happening at school interactive video and computer programs reading library borrowing family outings collecting items
For Years 1 and 2, some formal homework is usually set. For example, students may be asked to complete some simple computations, to copy letters or words, to complete an activity sheet, or do some home reading.
Year 3 to 6
Teachers will continue to provide guidance and assistance, particularly in the development of study skills, although as students’ progress, they will work more independently on their homework.
Students will experience different types of homework and the amount of time they are expected to spend on homework will be realistic.
Most homework will be set in English, Mathematics and Human Society and Its Environment. However, it can be set across all areas of the Curriculum.
10
HOMEWORK
All students need a sense of security. It comes from the knowledge that they are loved and from a feeling of self worth. It is nurtured by success. It flourishes when they are helped in solving day to day problems, when their long term needs are fulfilled.
Neither the school nor the home can hope to fulfil these needs in isolation. Each “Plays Its Part.”
There is a school counsellor who visits our school each week to assess students and to advise students, teachers and parents. When a problem of any kind arises, assistance is available. Counselling may be arranged after contact with the parent.
This school endeavours to always involve the Community. The school also involves itself in Community activities. Parents are encouraged to support the education of their children. However, Departmental Policy requires that parents complete a “WWCC number” before helping with any activity at the school.
In addition to the various parent bodies such as the P & C, parents are also involved in such activities as Reading, Craft, and Library, Sporting, Social and Musical activities.
The P & C meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month during school terms. The time and venue is advised in the school newsletter.

SCHOOL CONTACT
Contact with members of other communities, particularly with children of other schools, has an important socialising effect on children. Through sporting and cultural visits, children of our school learn to modify their own behaviour and learn to tolerate others. This is a vital aspect of the School Curriculum.
When children enrol, they will be allocated a Sporting House. Students are evenly distributed between the four houses and they are randomly selected for each house. However, if a child has an older brother or sister attending this school, they will automatically be placed in the same House Group.
The houses are:
ARMSTRONG - Yellow KING - RedMORRIS - Blue PATERSON - GreenAll students take part in Physical Education lessons each week. However on Fridays, all students engage in a longer sport session. Students are asked to wear their coloured polo shirt that day.
Students in K-2 generally engage in skill based tabloid activities at school. Years 3-6 participate in a wide variety of activities which may include activities outside school. These activities outside school will generally involve a small cost to cover bus travel, pool or gym entry etc.
Early each year, male and female house captains and vice-captains are elected for each of the four houses on which sport is based.
The sport houses are: ARMSTRONG, KING, MORRIS and PATERSON.

The Library is open from Monday to Wednesday.
Every child is issued with a borrower’s identity code. We hope all children new to Irrawang will visit the Library soon after arrival and become regular borrowers. The use of a Library bag to protect the books is essential.
Parents are also welcome to borrow.
As we have a large, mobile school community and moves to interstate are frequent, we ask that you help us by checking that all School Library materials are returned to us before leaving.

HEALTH - Illness or Injury at School
If a student becomes ill at school or has been involved in an accident, the school makes every endeavour to contact parents. For this purpose, you are asked to supply your current telephone numbers at home and work, and those of other persons nominated by you to contact in case of emergency.
If you cannot be contacted and your child is seriously injured, an ambulance will be called to transport your child to the nearest hospital. All students enrolled at this school are automatically covered by Ambulance Cover.
Minor abrasions are treated at school.
Please keep the school informed of changes to your telephone number, address, contact person etc. It is very important that we have accurate information in the event of an emergency involving your child. Please send written details of any change to the School Office so that our records can be kept up to date.
If your child is required to take medication at school, you will need to complete special documentation authorising staff to administer the medication. We ask that the medication be brought to school by a responsible adult and handed in to the Office. It MUST BE clearly labelled with the child’s name, the dosage and time to be administered.
If your child is an asthmatic or suffers from allergies, you will be requested to complete an “Action Plan”written by the GP. This supplies information to enable the school to best support the medicating of your child should they suffer an asthma attack or an allergic reaction.

20
IMMUNISATION
Other Medical Matters
Free Dental Treatment
important as Kindergarten children come into contact with lots of other children and infections can spread easily.Children starting school who have not already had booster immunisation should have:
one booster injection against diphtheria and tetanus (CDT) and whooping cough (Pertussis)
one booster dose of polio vaccine by mouth (Sabin)
A child should also have an injection of measles vaccine, which includes rubella, mumps and measles in the one injection.
The diphtheria/tetanus (CDT), whooping cough (Pertussis) and polio (Sabin) vaccine can be given at the same time. If measles immunisation is also required, it is recommended that this be given one month earlier or later.
Immunisation is available from your family doctor, from local Council Clinics, and from some Community Health Centres. It is important to obtain and keep a written record of immunisation. The Health Department will issue a record of your child’s immunisation which you then take to the School Office so it can be placed in your child’s school record card.
At 10 years of age a student can receive 3 injections over 6 months for Hepatitis B for FREE.
The canteen is open every day from 8:30am until 2:00pm. Please place lunch orders at the canteen before school commences or in your class lunch basket. Please do not ask canteen staff for credit. If an emergency lunch is required, approval must be given by the Principal.

THE STUDENT BODY
At the end of each year, elections are held to decide student leaders for the following year. Officers consist of male and female captains, vice-captains and student leaders.

MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL PARENT BODIES
Welcome to our school and district. As a parent, you automatically belong to the parent support team.
You can assist your children and your school by becoming actively involved.
There are many ways you may choose to become involved: classroom help, library assistance, canteen services, P&C, attending and participating in fundraising, sport and social functions, assisting with working bees, visiting the school regularly, getting to know your child’s teacher, taking office on a team or joining a special committee, to name just a few.
Attendance at the monthly meetings will bring together those who have a common interest in their children’s education and in directly supporting the school.
Regular school newsletters and notices include details of meeting dates and information of interest to all parents. Please read and act on these notices. When school staff and parents communicate effectively, support each other and work together, our children’s education will gain significantly at Irrawang Public School.
Irrawang Public School is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) School.23
STUDENT WELFARE
Irrawang Staff and Students are Safe, Responsible Learners who show Respect.
Through PBL lessons, behaviours that support safety and promote learning are explicitly taught and reinforced in all settings in the school.
Through its Student Welfare Program, Irrawang Public School aims to help its students to develop:
a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction in learning an ability to communicate effectively a coherent set of values to guide behaviour a sense of personal and social responsibility for their actions and
decisions a sense of personal dignity and worth self reliance a sense of cultural identity a feeling of belonging to the wider community a caring attitude towards others an ability to form satisfying and stable relationships
The school, in co-operation with parents, will work towards realising these aims. This will be done through learning programs and support services in three major areas:
general measures to promote the personal development of students preventative measures to ensure the safety and well-being of students remedial measures to overcome specific difficulties
To assist in a smooth transition from home to school parents can:
24
TRANSITION TO SCHOOL
provide a secure background give the child opportunities, before starting Kindergarten, to stay with
friends for a few hours while parents are elsewhere spend time daily with the child in conversation, in play and in the
reading of suitable stories accept that school life is part of the normal growth of an individual realise that all children are individuals, who develop in different ways, at
different rates, and are not to be compared with other children know that, for healthy development, the child must enter his new world
alone
The students, staff and parent bodies of the school have agreed on a set of values, rights and responsibilities by which our school can function at its highest level. These are designed to promote effective learning for all students in a happy and safe environment. These are on signs around the school.
These policies and practices are underpinned by the school beliefs. These beliefs were derived from extensive community consultation and discussion with the entire school community – students, teachers, parents and Community.
