Dear Parents,
YEAR 6 STUDY TOUR OF CANBERRA
Parliament and Civics Education Rebate
Our Year 6 students are leaving on their Canberra Study Tour on Sunday 12 May. They will return on Thursday
16 May. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus
on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national
capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion
the Australian Government is contributing funding of $240 per student under the Parliament and Civics
Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the
excursion. This rebate has already been deducted from the total cost that parents are asked to pay. We are
sure the students will make the most of this very exciting opportunity. They will experience some amazing
places and learn so much about our national capital. We look forward to hearing all about it on their return.
READY READERS
Thank you to all our parents and volunteers who have supported the school in past years with our Ready
Readers program. Unfortunately, this year to date we have only managed to recruit 3 parent volunteers for this
highly valued and needed Ready Readers.
Due to the lower number of volunteers, we will only be able to provide this additional reading support to
students in Years 1 & 2 at present. If you have haven’t yet heard of the volunteer program and you can afford
an hour a couple of times each week please email Alyssa at [email protected] or phone
Cherie Raymond, Assistant Principal on 9583 8800 and Cherie will help you make the connection with Alyssa.
Alyssa provides training, talks you through the use of the Ready Reader books and question cards, stays in
close contact, and meets with you at regular intervals throughout the year. The training is really valuable and
the joy you will experience as a volunteer seeing young people advance with their reading is exceptionally
rewarding.
CONNECT
Please remember that all semester one and two reports will be sent to you via connect from this year forward.
Cherie Raymond, Assistant Principal, can be contacted via email on [email protected]
should you still require assistance with your logon.

By making money management interactive, engaging and fun the program equips students with the confidence and competence to make smart decisions about money.

Parenting Workshop Overview
Circle of Security - For parents of children 0-18years Circle of Security is an early intervention workshop for parents and carers, which focuses on the child/parent relationship and how to create a secure attachment. Our trained Facilitators work with parents and care givers to help them: • Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read their emotional needs • Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions • Enhance the development of their child's self esteem
1-2-3 Magic & Emotion Coaching - For parents of children 2-12 years
1-2-3 Magic & Emotion Coaching is a parenting workshop which gives parents and caregivers a
simple and effective approach to discipline 2 - 12 year olds. It provides parents with the
knowledge and practical skills to set limits confidently and calmly when required and the ability
to follow through with reasonable consequences.
Protective Behaviours - For parents of children 0-18 years
The Protective Behaviours program is a proactive approach to provide children, teens and
vulnerable people with the skills and strategies to recognise when they are feeling unsafe and
where to go to for help. Delivered in a safe format, this program is designed to leave parents
feeling positive about equipping their children with positive life skills, such as assertiveness,
emotional literacy and problem solving. These skills assist children to better cope with anxiety
and know when to take risks, where to go for help and how to speak up against peer pressure,
bullying and abuse.
Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD) - For Parents of children 0 -17 years
Children experiencing SPD have difficulties with organising and responding to sensory input,
which can lead to learning difficulties, developmental delay, anxiety and stress. This session is
designed to inform parents of what SPD looks like, how it can affect children, basic strategies and
coping mechanisms for parents and correct referral pathways for support and therapy.
