Principal’s Report
Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership The NSW Government have education programs
targeting responsible pet ownership and safe pet
interaction. The Living Safely with Pets program is
delivered to primary schools throughout NSW and
targets students in Years K to 2. The program educates
children on what it means to be a responsible pet owner
and how to live safely with dogs.
A pet educator and their suitability-tested dog visited
our school last week to present the program to all of our
K-2 students.
During the session students learnt about how to stay
safe around dogs and what it means to be a responsible
pet owner in the home and wider community including:
when dogs should be left alone
things we should not do to dogs
how can you tell if a dog is happy, frightened or
angry
a safe way to approach and greet a dog
what to do if approached by an unknown or
aggressive dog.
Absences from School On occasion, your child may need to be absent from
school. Justified reasons for student absences may
include:
being sick, or having an infectious disease
having an unavoidable medical appointment
exceptional or urgent family circumstance (e.g.
attending a funeral)
Following an absence from school you must ensure that
within 7 days you provide the school with a note explaining
the reason for the absence. However, if we have not
received an explanation from you within 2 days, the school
may contact you to discuss the absence.
Principals may request medical certificates or other
documentation when frequent or long term absences are
explained as being due to illness.
Therefore please remember to send a note to explain
absences as soon as your child returns to school.
3-6 Excursion Last Friday, our Stage Two and Three students had an
adventurous day visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens, Police
and Justice Museum, and Sydney Museum. The students
were engaged in learning about the diverse Aboriginal
heritage by exploring plant uses, culture and artefacts.
Stage Three visited the Police and Justice Museum,
exploring the impact of the gold rush on law and order in
the colony of NSW, and of bushrangers on the Australian
identity. Stage Two students learned that the Museum of
Sydney was built over the site of first Government House.
They were guided through the museum and participated
in structured learning activities that helped them to
explain why people in the past may have behaved as they
did.
Bike Safety A reminder to parents/carers that cyclists of all ages are
required by law to wear a helmet whenever they ride in
public places. It is the school’s expectation that students
travelling to and from school by bicycle will follow the law
and correctly wear a helmet. Schools are obliged to notify
parents/carers when a student is seen to be not wearing or
incorrectly wearing a bicycle helmet when riding to or from
school. The safety of your children is paramount and the
school has procedures in place to reinforce these strategies
in lessons during the year. If you could discuss the above
message with your children at home it would be appreciated.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School
Students with Disability (NCCD) Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students
with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools
to identify information already available in the school about
supports provided to students with disability. These relate
to legislative requirements under the Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for
Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019).
Information provided about students to the Australian
Government for the NCCD includes:
year of schooling
category of disability: physical, cognitive, sensory
or social/emotional
level of adjustment provided: support provided
within quality differentiated teaching practice,
supplementary, substantial or extensive.
This information assists schools to:
formally recognise the supports and adjustments
provided to students with disability in schools
consider how they can strengthen the support of
students with disability in schools
develop shared practices so that they can review
their learning programs in order to improve
educational outcomes for students with disability.
The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the
information they need to plan more broadly for the support
of students with disability.
If you do not wish for your child to be included in the data
collection, please contact Mrs Kitsoukilias by the end of
Term 2.
Have a wonderful week!

Voluntary School Contribution
LAST Chance to Win School Vouchers/Prizes While Public Schools do not ask parents to pay school
fees, they are able to ask families for a voluntary
contribution towards the funds used to run the school.
Voluntary contributions are used to purchase exercise
books, pencils, art and craft supplies, paper and other
necessities. This enables the school to purchase more
teaching and learning resources to improve student
outcomes.
Every voluntary contribution made to date has been
placed in the draw to win one of 3 excellent prizes!
1st Prize: School Voucher $100.00
2nd Prize: School Voucher $50.00
3rd Prize: Beyblade Burst Turbo – Sling Shock Set
If you would like to be in the draw to win a prize,
please send in your payment before Tuesday next
week, when the winners will be drawn at our school
assembly!
Do you have our Seesaw app? What is Seesaw?
Seesaw is a simple way for teachers and students
to record and share what's happening in the
classroom.
Seesaw gives students a place to document their
learning, be creative and learn how to use
technology.
Each student receives their own journal and will
add things to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or
notes.
When there are new Seesaw posts, families can
be notified via app notification, email or SMS.
Parents are only notified about their own child's
work, and all data is safe and secure.
How do I connect to my child's Seesaw journal?
Your child will have their own unique QR code that was
sent home last term. Once you download the app to your
device you will be able to connect to your child’s journal
by scanning the QR code. If you have lost or misplaced
the QR code, feel free to ask at the front office or your
child’s classroom teacher for another copy.
The following link is a short video to show you how to set
Seesaw up on your device

VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION SCHEME 2019
Dear Parents/Carers, While Public Schools do not ask parents to pay school fees, they are able to ask families for a contribution towards the funds used to run the school. For this reason, we are asking parents and carers for a voluntary contribution towards the educational needs of the children at Guise Public School. We appreciate that these times are economically challenging and for schools it is the same. Voluntary contributions are used to purchase exercise books, pencils, art and craft supplies, paper and other necessities. This enables the school to purchase more teaching and learning resources to improve student outcomes. At Guise Public School, we are asking for a contribution of $25.00 per child or $50.00 per family with two or more children. Receipts will be issued for all donations. Every voluntary contribution made will be in the draw to win one of three excellent prizes!
1st Prize: School Voucher $100.00 2nd Prize: School Voucher $50.00
3rd Prize: Beyblade Burst Turbo – Sling Shock Set
Prizes will be drawn Term 2 Week 9 at our whole school assembly! With anticipated thanks, Megan Predl Principal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
