the Australian Mathematics Competition
No further enrolments will be taken
The Mathematics competition date is on Thursday 7th August 2014

For your information
Dear Seabrook Primary School Community
Enrolments for Prep students commencing in 2015 are open If you wish to enrol your child please provide the office with your childrsquos birth certificate and immunisation documentation For the school to make necessary planning for staff in the coming year we ask you to enrol your child as soon as possible Thank-you
Supporting your childrsquos safe online social networking
Social networking is an extension of offline friendships and we should treat people the same way as we do in real
life Chatting to friends using IM chat or social networking is a great way to stay in touch and make new friends
However your child should always keep in mind that there are some risks meeting people online - especially if
they donrsquot know them in real life
Discuss the following aspects with your child to help them safely enjoy social networking
Limit your friend list Do you know your online friends in the real world If not consider changing your
settings to limit interaction with them or remove them
Protect personal information Restrict information that people can use to access your finances and to identify
where you live work or go out
Check on your images Does everything about your life really need to be online
How might this affect you and your reputation in the future
Stay respectful Are your posts respectful to friends and others
This is real life being online is no excuse for bad behaviour
Think twice before meeting offline If you want to meet someone offline be safe ndash take an adult with you
meet in the daytime and in a public place Donrsquot share information too early
It is important to note that there may be age restrictions that apply to your child joining a social network
Many popular social networks are restricted to users only above 13 years of age
13 is the minimum user age required by Instagram Facebook Tumblr
Twitter is intended for people over the age of 13
Snapchat states that it is lsquointended for use by people who are 13 years of age or older and persons
under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Snapchat accountsrsquo There is a version for children
under age 13 called Snapkidz which allows children to take photos and draw on them etc but does
not allow sending of images If your child is over 13 you should still talk through the risks of using
Snapchat with them
Minecraft is an open-ended game where children explore and create There is some violence with
zombies and monsters attempting to kill players at night Players need to fight them with weapons or
hide from them There is minimal gore but young players may be scared as the creatures appear out
of nowhere
Parents should be aware that if children play online they may encounter other players who may
attempt to communicate them and make have created suggestive or offensive structures Talk to your
children about this Ensure your children donrsquot use their real names or provide any personal
information like their address their school or your work Sit with them for a couple of sessions to
see what they are doing and understand how it works Anecdotally parents say the main risk with
Minecraft is their children wanting to spend too much time playing it
Setting time limits from the beginning can help For young children a visual timer is very useful
Think about requiring your child to complete chores and homework before they can play Minecraft ndash
and stick to it
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends children be limited to 2 hours
of total media time a day with no media in childrenrsquos bedrooms They discourage any media
exposure for children under 2 years of age
If your child or someone they know wants to talk about online friendships visit the Cybersmart Online
Helpline (wwwcybersmartgovaureportaspx) or call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800

Fundraising at Seabrook Primary
Dear parents and guardians we would like to inform you that some children from 4AU
are creating a fundraiser towards Red Cross Our previous inquiry was based on natural dis-
asters and one of the organisations that donate assistance for damage after a disaster is
Red Cross Our fundraiser consists of estimating how many lollies are in the lolly jar but it
contains two different types of jars One has jellybeans in it and the other is a crazy jar
This crazy jar consists of various types of lollies and candy
To become the winner you must estimate the closest or exact number of lollies con-
tained in the jar It costs twenty cents for a guess Our fundraiser begins on Monday the 4th
of August and will close on the 15th of August We will be out at snack time for seniors and
5 minutes for the juniors We would appreciate your donations

For your information
Dear Seabrook Primary School Community
Enrolments for Prep students commencing in 2015 are open If you wish to enrol your child please provide the office with your childrsquos birth certificate and immunisation documentation For the school to make necessary planning for staff in the coming year we ask you to enrol your child as soon as possible Thank-you
Supporting your childrsquos safe online social networking
Social networking is an extension of offline friendships and we should treat people the same way as we do in real
life Chatting to friends using IM chat or social networking is a great way to stay in touch and make new friends
However your child should always keep in mind that there are some risks meeting people online - especially if
they donrsquot know them in real life
Discuss the following aspects with your child to help them safely enjoy social networking
Limit your friend list Do you know your online friends in the real world If not consider changing your
settings to limit interaction with them or remove them
Protect personal information Restrict information that people can use to access your finances and to identify
where you live work or go out
Check on your images Does everything about your life really need to be online
How might this affect you and your reputation in the future
Stay respectful Are your posts respectful to friends and others
This is real life being online is no excuse for bad behaviour
Think twice before meeting offline If you want to meet someone offline be safe ndash take an adult with you
meet in the daytime and in a public place Donrsquot share information too early
It is important to note that there may be age restrictions that apply to your child joining a social network
Many popular social networks are restricted to users only above 13 years of age
13 is the minimum user age required by Instagram Facebook Tumblr
Twitter is intended for people over the age of 13
Snapchat states that it is lsquointended for use by people who are 13 years of age or older and persons
under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Snapchat accountsrsquo There is a version for children
under age 13 called Snapkidz which allows children to take photos and draw on them etc but does
not allow sending of images If your child is over 13 you should still talk through the risks of using
Snapchat with them
Minecraft is an open-ended game where children explore and create There is some violence with
zombies and monsters attempting to kill players at night Players need to fight them with weapons or
hide from them There is minimal gore but young players may be scared as the creatures appear out
of nowhere
Parents should be aware that if children play online they may encounter other players who may
attempt to communicate them and make have created suggestive or offensive structures Talk to your
children about this Ensure your children donrsquot use their real names or provide any personal
information like their address their school or your work Sit with them for a couple of sessions to
see what they are doing and understand how it works Anecdotally parents say the main risk with
Minecraft is their children wanting to spend too much time playing it
Setting time limits from the beginning can help For young children a visual timer is very useful
Think about requiring your child to complete chores and homework before they can play Minecraft ndash
and stick to it
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends children be limited to 2 hours
of total media time a day with no media in childrenrsquos bedrooms They discourage any media
exposure for children under 2 years of age
If your child or someone they know wants to talk about online friendships visit the Cybersmart Online
Helpline (wwwcybersmartgovaureportaspx) or call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800

are creating a fundraiser towards Red Cross Our previous inquiry was based on natural dis-
asters and one of the organisations that donate assistance for damage after a disaster is
Red Cross Our fundraiser consists of estimating how many lollies are in the lolly jar but it
contains two different types of jars One has jellybeans in it and the other is a crazy jar
This crazy jar consists of various types of lollies and candy
To become the winner you must estimate the closest or exact number of lollies con-
tained in the jar It costs twenty cents for a guess Our fundraiser begins on Monday the 4th

For your information
Dear Seabrook Primary School Community
Enrolments for Prep students commencing in 2015 are open If you wish to enrol your child please provide the office with your childrsquos birth certificate and immunisation documentation For the school to make necessary planning for staff in the coming year we ask you to enrol your child as soon as possible Thank-you
Supporting your childrsquos safe online social networking
Social networking is an extension of offline friendships and we should treat people the same way as we do in real
life Chatting to friends using IM chat or social networking is a great way to stay in touch and make new friends
However your child should always keep in mind that there are some risks meeting people online - especially if
they donrsquot know them in real life
Discuss the following aspects with your child to help them safely enjoy social networking
Limit your friend list Do you know your online friends in the real world If not consider changing your
settings to limit interaction with them or remove them
Protect personal information Restrict information that people can use to access your finances and to identify
where you live work or go out
Check on your images Does everything about your life really need to be online
How might this affect you and your reputation in the future
Stay respectful Are your posts respectful to friends and others
This is real life being online is no excuse for bad behaviour
Think twice before meeting offline If you want to meet someone offline be safe ndash take an adult with you
meet in the daytime and in a public place Donrsquot share information too early
It is important to note that there may be age restrictions that apply to your child joining a social network
Many popular social networks are restricted to users only above 13 years of age
13 is the minimum user age required by Instagram Facebook Tumblr
Twitter is intended for people over the age of 13
Snapchat states that it is lsquointended for use by people who are 13 years of age or older and persons
under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Snapchat accountsrsquo There is a version for children
under age 13 called Snapkidz which allows children to take photos and draw on them etc but does
not allow sending of images If your child is over 13 you should still talk through the risks of using
Snapchat with them
Minecraft is an open-ended game where children explore and create There is some violence with
zombies and monsters attempting to kill players at night Players need to fight them with weapons or
hide from them There is minimal gore but young players may be scared as the creatures appear out
of nowhere
Parents should be aware that if children play online they may encounter other players who may
attempt to communicate them and make have created suggestive or offensive structures Talk to your
children about this Ensure your children donrsquot use their real names or provide any personal
information like their address their school or your work Sit with them for a couple of sessions to
see what they are doing and understand how it works Anecdotally parents say the main risk with
Minecraft is their children wanting to spend too much time playing it
Setting time limits from the beginning can help For young children a visual timer is very useful
Think about requiring your child to complete chores and homework before they can play Minecraft ndash
and stick to it
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends children be limited to 2 hours
of total media time a day with no media in childrenrsquos bedrooms They discourage any media
exposure for children under 2 years of age
If your child or someone they know wants to talk about online friendships visit the Cybersmart Online
Helpline (wwwcybersmartgovaureportaspx) or call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800

This is real life being online is no excuse for bad behaviour
Think twice before meeting offline If you want to meet someone offline be safe ndash take an adult with you
meet in the daytime and in a public place Donrsquot share information too early
It is important to note that there may be age restrictions that apply to your child joining a social network
Many popular social networks are restricted to users only above 13 years of age
13 is the minimum user age required by Instagram Facebook Tumblr
Twitter is intended for people over the age of 13
Snapchat states that it is lsquointended for use by people who are 13 years of age or older and persons
under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Snapchat accountsrsquo There is a version for children
under age 13 called Snapkidz which allows children to take photos and draw on them etc but does
not allow sending of images If your child is over 13 you should still talk through the risks of using
Snapchat with them
Minecraft is an open-ended game where children explore and create There is some violence with
zombies and monsters attempting to kill players at night Players need to fight them with weapons or
hide from them There is minimal gore but young players may be scared as the creatures appear out
of nowhere
Parents should be aware that if children play online they may encounter other players who may
attempt to communicate them and make have created suggestive or offensive structures Talk to your
children about this Ensure your children donrsquot use their real names or provide any personal
information like their address their school or your work Sit with them for a couple of sessions to
see what they are doing and understand how it works Anecdotally parents say the main risk with
Minecraft is their children wanting to spend too much time playing it
Setting time limits from the beginning can help For young children a visual timer is very useful
Think about requiring your child to complete chores and homework before they can play Minecraft ndash
and stick to it
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends children be limited to 2 hours
of total media time a day with no media in childrenrsquos bedrooms They discourage any media
exposure for children under 2 years of age

Fundraising at Seabrook Primary
Dear parents and guardians we would like to inform you that some children from 4AU
are creating a fundraiser towards Red Cross Our previous inquiry was based on natural dis-
asters and one of the organisations that donate assistance for damage after a disaster is
Red Cross Our fundraiser consists of estimating how many lollies are in the lolly jar but it
contains two different types of jars One has jellybeans in it and the other is a crazy jar
This crazy jar consists of various types of lollies and candy
To become the winner you must estimate the closest or exact number of lollies con-
tained in the jar It costs twenty cents for a guess Our fundraiser begins on Monday the 4th
of August and will close on the 15th of August We will be out at snack time for seniors and
5 minutes for the juniors We would appreciate your donations

Supporting your childrsquos safe online social networking
Social networking is an extension of offline friendships and we should treat people the same way as we do in real
life Chatting to friends using IM chat or social networking is a great way to stay in touch and make new friends
However your child should always keep in mind that there are some risks meeting people online - especially if
they donrsquot know them in real life
Discuss the following aspects with your child to help them safely enjoy social networking
Limit your friend list Do you know your online friends in the real world If not consider changing your
settings to limit interaction with them or remove them
Protect personal information Restrict information that people can use to access your finances and to identify
where you live work or go out
Check on your images Does everything about your life really need to be online
How might this affect you and your reputation in the future
Stay respectful Are your posts respectful to friends and others
This is real life being online is no excuse for bad behaviour
Think twice before meeting offline If you want to meet someone offline be safe ndash take an adult with you
meet in the daytime and in a public place Donrsquot share information too early

Fundraising at Seabrook Primary
Dear parents and guardians we would like to inform you that some children from 4AU
are creating a fundraiser towards Red Cross Our previous inquiry was based on natural dis-
asters and one of the organisations that donate assistance for damage after a disaster is
Red Cross Our fundraiser consists of estimating how many lollies are in the lolly jar but it
contains two different types of jars One has jellybeans in it and the other is a crazy jar
This crazy jar consists of various types of lollies and candy
To become the winner you must estimate the closest or exact number of lollies con-
tained in the jar It costs twenty cents for a guess Our fundraiser begins on Monday the 4th
of August and will close on the 15th of August We will be out at snack time for seniors and
5 minutes for the juniors We would appreciate your donations
