Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to interview week! I would like to take the opportunity to thank staff for their effort in
completing assessments to inform their reporting to parents and students. It takes an enormous amount
of time to prepare for reports and staff efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you to parents for booking
their interview times. If you haven’t made a booking please do so as soon as possible.
Lunches
If you are bringing food/lunch boxes to school for your child, please leave it in the office to be collected.
As part of our compliance with Child Safety Standards we are monitoring adults in the yard at break
times. It would assist us greatly if you could drop lunches in to the office (marked with your child’s name).
Thank you for your support.
Foundation students growing up!
As we move into the second part of the year it is timely to think about our Foundation students becoming
more independent! It has been wonderful to watch them develop this year, they know the routines of
the school and are feeling very comfortable in our school environment. At this stage of the year, students
should be carrying their own bags and be happy to come into the classroom and get themselves
organised and ready for learning before the bell rings – after they have given you a hug goodbye! As par-
ents it can be tricky to start and take a step back and allow your child to increase their independence,

Consent forms
Last week I attended a Law and Order day in Bendigo. One important item I took away from the day was
regarding consent forms for excursions etc. The Lawyers stated the only person who can legally sign a
consent form is the legal guardian or parent, step parents do not have the rights that parents/legal
guardians have. If this impacts on your family, can you please ensure that the parent or legal guardian
signs the form. Thank you for your support.
Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews
Thank you to those parents who have booked in for their interview next week. Don’t forget you will need
to allow time before the interview to read your child’s report, look at the communication book and
then go into the interview. Students will set some academic and/or social goals for the remainder of
the year as a result of their discussions with parents and their classroom teacher. Interviews are spread
over four nights to enable all parents the opportunity to book in. Reports will not be sent home with
students. The opportunity to sit and discuss your child’s report with their teacher is a valuable one and
will provide a clear direction for learning for the remainder of the year. We appreciate your support and
involvement in this process.
Late Arrivals
Late arrivals to class in the morning interrupt student learning, often students are missing out on instruc-
tion time. Classroom teachers have noticed an increase in the number of late arrivals to their first session
in the morning. Students should be at school by 8.50 to allow them time to organise their belongings and
get ready for learning. If a student misses 10 minutes per day, that equals 50 minutes a week, nearly 1.5
weeks a year. If a child misses an hour a day, that equals 1 day a week, that equals 8 weeks of school
per year. Lateness and absence from school have a significant impact on student learning. Please make
sure your child is here on time every day before 9.00am to start their learning.
Jobs around the school!
Please contact the office if you are able to help out with any of these jobs.
We have a number of jobs that need to be completed around the school. We have moved our working
bee to early next term. We are happy for people to volunteer and come in at a time that suits their family
to help out. The school does not own a blower vac or mower. All help is greatly appreciated.
Rake and refill the soft fall under the playground equipment
Blower vac around under the veranda’s of the classroom/gallery building
Blower vac the gutters down from the staff carpark and at the brown wooden gate at the car park
Cleaning windows
Weeding around the staffroom building, garden beds
Planting under the large trees outside the office
Mowing near the staffroom under the bike rack, mowing near the kitchen

Have a great weekend.
