eSmart is a Cyber Safety ini a ve that we have implemented at Toora Primary School. We aim to give our students the tools to become safe cyber ci zens in today’s increasingly digital world by encouraging a safe, suppor ve and responsible use of ICT in school and at home. The eSmart ini a ve equips students with the skills and strategies to reduce the risk of cyber bullying occurring, while also promo ng the importance of being safe on the internet. Over the course of this term and into next year, each class will undertake regular eSmart sessions to help learn skills like making safe passwords, not publishing personal informa on, and also the importance of being responsible when using the internet.
If you have any ques ons regarding the use of ICT in the school, or how you can help your child understand the importance of responsible use of devices when at home and at school, you can speak to Mrs Gilbertson or Ms Penrose.

Prep-2 Classroom news All of our P/1/2 students a ended the Junior Athle cs Carnival on Friday at SGSC Oval. The weather was beau ful and the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Events that students par cipated in included 200m Sprint, 70m Sprint, Modified Hurdles, Long Jump, Shot Put, Discus and Tunnel Ball. The aim of the day was for the students to experience a spor ng event, prac se sports and do their best. It was great to see our students interac ng with their peers and making new friends of the same age from other schools.
Toora Primary School is ge ng right behind the Walk To School program by asking students to walk to school on Tuesday 25th October 2016. We have organised a “Walking Bus” for students on Tuesday 25th October. Students are to assemble at Sagasser Park by 8:30am and they will walk together from that point to school under the supervision of Mrs Gilbertson. Bus travellers will be met by Mrs Gilbertson at our Jubilee gates and walked down to Sagasser Park and back to school. Walking part of the way is OK too ‐ parents who live a distance from school and who normally drive their child to school, can s ll do so, but they may like to drop their child
off at the “Walking Bus” point (8:30am at Sagasser Park) for inclusion. Students will be greeted at school with Breakfast Club. Parents are most welcome to a end. We would also appreciate parent help for the Breakfast and the “Walking Bus”. South Gippsland Shire Council is dona ng prizes towards the “Walk to School October” project. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the month. Increased exercise is a requirement before student names go in the raffle box for their chance of winning a prize; there are limited prizes.
