MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

SOCIAL MEDIA & MOBILE PHONES It is quite disappointing

that recently we have

spent a great deal of time

dealing with social media

issues with our students.

Access to social media

sites such as Facebook are restricted

through the Department’s server.

Having spent many hours working

through these issues I have to say I am

extremely shocked by the content and

level of discussions students are having

with each other. Excessive swearing,

threats, harassment, inappropriate

comments and impersonating others

just to name a few of the issues. These

occurrences are happening out of

school hours yet the fall out is being

brought to school for teachers to deal

with. The terms and conditions of these

sites state that you must be 13 or over

to have an account. It would be much

appreciated if parents could follow this

up with their children as soon as

possible.

Attached to this week’s newsletter is a

flier advertising a workshop for parents

called “growing up online” presented

by the highly regarded Susan McLean.

The presentation is free and worthwhile

attending.

It has also been brought to my

attention that some students are

bringing and using mobile phones

during school hours. The school policy

states that all phones must be brought

to the office in the morning and

collected at the end of the day.

DREAM MAGIC There is a real buzz around

the school in preparing

for our school concert.

Not even a nasty flu can

keep Mr Frederick down. The students

have been practising hard and I am

sure we will all be proud of them as

Our School Values We shine when we are: Learning, Respectful, Safe

accomplished performers. I would like

to acknowledge the amazing work of

our fabulous parent team (Carmen

Borg, Rebecca Pattinson, Sonia

Fellowes, Karlee Griffiths, Heidi Holley

and Rebecca Webb) who have

coordinated all props and staging

accessories. Without your tireless efforts

we wouldn’t have the production we

have.

The matinee performance will

promptly begin at 1:30pm (doors will

open at 1:00pm for a 1:30pm start)

and should finish by 3:30pm. Students

will return to school after the matinee

and will be dismissed from their class.

ALL STUDENTS need to be dropped

off at the Secondary College Hall

by 6:20pm in costume.

Doors will open at 6:30 for ticket

holders. Haven’t purchased a

ticket don’t panic they will be

available at the door to purchase.

Please understand there might be

a delay.

On stage performance wil l

commence at 7:00pm and will

finish by 8:45.

Payments A reminder if you wish to pay for your child’s/

children’s incursion/excursion etc… costs,

you can pay cash, cheque, and now BPay. If you have misplaced your reference number please call the

office to obtain your family reference number.

YEAR 3-6 CAMP PAYMENTS Just a reminder to parents that camp final

payment is due on or before Tuesday 16

September. Final payment must be received by

the due date in order for your child to attend.

2015 ENROLMENTS

A friendly reminder to parents that we have

commenced our formal process of enrolment for

2015. In order for your child to participate in the

Transition Program they must be enrolled.

The program will commence on Friday 14

November for four weeks.

Students will need to turn five years of age by 30

April, 2015. Enrolment forms are available from

the office. I would also appreciate it, if parents

would let other families in the community know

that we are currently accepting enrolments for

next year. New parents to the school are

encouraged to make an appointment to see

myself for a tour of the school.
