Welcome to this week’s newsletter.
We were scheduled to have a Cyber-Bullying talk to Stage 3 by Vanessa the Youth Liaison Officer but
unfortunately she could not make it today so we are rescheduling for next term. I have, however, included
some information in this newsletter about what it is and some advice about talking to your child about this
issue. I hope you find it useful.
Our gymnastics program will begin on Friday 14 October and continue for 5 weeks. This program is part of our
Personal Development, Health and P E Curriculum and the students enjoy the activities provided. A note will
come home next week about this.
Stage 3 are getting very excited about our excursion to Ballarat on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next
week and so am I. Looking at the itinerary we are going to be very busy and should come back exhausted but
happy. We will ring the school at about 3pm on our way home and there will be a sign near the front gate
giving our estimated time of arrival back at the school in case we are not running to time.
Congratulation to Lucy Clarke on being nominated to sing in the choir at the School Spectacular at the Sydney
Entertainment Centre.
Mufti Day/Wonky Tree Day tomorrow Friday 16th. Come along dressed wonky. Gold coin donation.
Enjoy your weekend, sunny weather and mild temperatures are forecast.

Cyber-Bulling
Cyber-bulling involves the use of information and
communication technologies (ITC) to support
deliberate, repeated and hostile behaviour by an
individual or group that is intended to harm others.
This form of bulling is often committed using mobile
phones or the internet and includes such activities
such as: Posting hurtful messages on social
networking sites.
Sending repeated unwanted messages either by
SMS, Instant messaging (IM) or email.
Excluding someone from an online group.
Creating fake social networking profiles or websites
that are mean and hurtful.
ADVICE
It is vital to talk to young people about behaving
appropriately online and with their mobile phones.
They need to be aware that there are real world
consequences for their virtual world actions.
Young people also need to know that they can tell
someone if they are being cyber-bullied. Ignoring the
problem won’t make it go away, and there are steps
that they take to address the cyber-bullying. What is
most important is that they tell someone.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
In order to prevent cyber-bulling, a useful acronym
to remember is I-CURRB:
Investigate what your child is doing online.
Communicate with your child.
Use family safety software to keep track of what your
children are able to access online.
Research your school’s and internet service
provider’s policies on cyber-bulling. Online
applications, such as IM, will also have their own
policies.
Report cyber-bulling to your child’s school and/or
ISP. If you have serious concerns for your child’s
safety, contact your local police.
Block communications from cyber-bulling. Most IM
applications, chat rooms and email account
providers allow you to block messages from
identified people.
