Parent Opinion Survey: Random Sample The use of opinion data as a measure of school performance
is a very important step towards making our school the best
it can possibly be.
The Department of Education requires all schools to conduct
annual and anonymous opinion surveys for staff, students
and parents. We use this information to inform and direct
our plans for school improvement.
As in previous years, the Department of Education selects a
random sample of parents to complete a survey.
Next Monday, 27th
July randomly selected families will
receive the Parent Opinion Survey. If you receive a survey,
could you please complete and return it in the sealed
envelope to the office before next Friday, 31st July.

August at 7pm.
If you did not receive this letter, please contact your child’s classroom teacher now. Children in grades Prep-4 have been divided into two performance groups and have been allocated an evening that they will perform

arrangements for them on the night.
Free LED Down Lights to Replace Halogen (Switch to Save) ‘Switch to Save’ is a Bendigo Bank initiative that aims to replace every energy-thirsty halogen down lights in our community with
energy efficient LED down lights for FREE.
For every light replaced in our community’s homes and businesses, Bendigo Bank will donate $1 to our school.
Here are some important things to know about Switch to Save:
Switch to Save is available to everyone in our community, not just Bendigo Bank customers
On average, more than $500 a year can be saved by switching to LED down lights
Lights are replaced by a local, qualified electrician
Switch to Save is possible thanks to the State Government’s Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET).
There are also massive environmental benefits. For every 1000 households who participate in Switch to Save, we’ll save 17,000
tonnes of carbon going into the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to taking 5,600 cars off the road for one year!
A brochure has been sent home to all families today. Complete the registration form in the brochure and return it to the school
office or the Bendigo Bank White Hills Branch. Registrations close on 21st August, 2015. Terms and conditions can be viewed at
www.bendigobank.com.au/switchtosave or call the White Hills Branch on 54414944.
Children’s eSafety Commission The Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner was established on 1 July 2015 to handle complaints about cyberbullying
material targeted at Australian children.
The Office can investigate complaints about material considered likely to have a seriously threatening, intimidating, harassing or
humiliating effect on a child. Where possible, the material should be reported to the social media service first, before it is
complained about to the Office. To consider a complaint the Office will need evidence of the cyberbullying material.
Parents, along with schools and the government have a role in ensuring children are protected online. The Office will work with
social media services, parents and schools to ensure serious cyberbullying material is removed. For more information click on this
link https://esafety.gov.au/

Congratulations to our Birthday Children
SchoolKids Bonus: Second Instalment Paid For eligible families, the second instalment of the SchoolKids Bonus has been paid. The intent of this payment is to cover schooling
costs. Parents can utilise these funds to pay for outstanding school charges or school camps/excursions.
Wet Clothing: Parents Phoned
With the spate of wet weather, there are areas of the school yard that are quite damp. Classroom teachers remind children to stay
away from puddles and wet areas. We have cordoned off certain areas and duty teachers are keeping children away from these
spots. The office stock of clothing is limited and is not for the purpose of changing children who are wet and muddy. If your child
is wet or muddy we will phone you to bring dry clothes to the school. We appreciate your support in encouraging your children to
stay dry at school.
Lost Property There is a large amount of lost property in the box located near the office. Most of these are unnamed. Please make sure all items of
clothing are clearly named, especially jackets as students tend to take them off whilst playing outside. If unnamed items are left in
the lost property box for more than 4 weeks, they are passed on to the sickbay or charity.
2016 Prep Students: Enrol Now All Prep students for 2016 should have been
enrolled at their preferred school by the end of last
term. A package containing a letter and
enrolment form was sent home to families in the
last week of term 2 who may have a 2016 Prep
child. Parents must supply the school with the
following documents for full enrolment:
A completed enrolment form (available from
the school).
A copy of your child’s birth certificate (the
school will photocopy the original for you).
Birth certificates can be ordered from the
Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and
Marriages.
A copy of your child’s immunisation
certificate (the school will photocopy the original
for you).
This document is issued by the Australian
Childhood Immunisation Register, on completion
of your child’s 4 year old vaccine.
You are encouraged to enrol your 2016 Prep child
NOW.
Further details are available at the school office or
phone 54430799.
Keeping Kids Safe Part 2: Using the Internet From an article from "Parenthood" by Robin Barker.
Internet safety is now a major concern, particularly the possibility of children being lured and groomed by paedophiles on the
internet. Other safety issues include cyber-bullying, children posting unsuitable personal images and giving out identifiable
information to strangers. Here is an internet safety checklist from NetAlert.
*Talk to your family about the importance of staying safe online and the need to have an internet safety plan at home.*Keep the
computer in a public area of the house so it's easier for you to supervise. * Make sure you have safety software installed on your
computer .NetAlert can give you advice on what to choose. *Discuss the benefits and risks of going online with our children and
reassure them that you're there to help if they get into trouble. *Create an internet-safety contract with your children and set up
house rules for internet use. Teach your children to make the right decisions and increase their responsibility levels as they get older.

White Hills PS Chaplaincy Introducing Narelle Windridge
I am delighted to be part of
the wonderful White Hills
Primary school community
sharing with the teaching
team, caring for children,
creating a happy safe
nurturing environment so
that children learn and
thrive in all areas of their
lives.
There are 4 R’s that
children seek to master,
Reading, (W)riting, (A)rithmetic and most
importantly Relationships. I can assist your
children by providing Pastoral care services in
the playground, in class with various activities delivered by teachers; enhancing wellbeing programs that support the Whole child in
all areas of their development (Social, Emotional); delivering programs that build resilience, offering assistance to feel safe, valued
and connected to their school community.
I have worked with Primary school aged children in a variety of settings and have qualifications in Family counselling and
Community Services Welfare work.
The role of a chaplain is diverse and encompasses many different areas of Pastoral care for families who are experiencing
difficulties with separation, grief and loss, financial stress, relationships and health issues.
I can offer support to parents to find specialized services; referrals to gain tools and in equipping parents assisting with parenting
tools to gain confidence feel and produce resilient, competent and successful individuals.
I can assist with connection to local Community Family, children & youth groups; also churches for dedication ceremonies,
baptism, weddings and funerals.
Please contact me at school (ph 54430799) on Wednesdays and Fridays so that I can assist you, or be someone to have a friendly
chat with.
Yours sincerely
Narelle Windridge WHPS School Chaplain
In accordance with National School Chaplaincy Program guidelines all primary school students require signed consent, by a parent, prior to the
provision of Chaplain providing care to the student.

Prep News Pupil of the Week Congratulations to Taylah H, Kohen B, Charlotte and Kacee T, our Prep ‘Pupils of the Week’ for this week. These Preps are
becoming confident and persistent in completing class activities. Well done!
Prep Incursion: Payment due tomorrow 4.00pm
Next Wednesday, 29th
July, Wild Action Productions will be bringing their Australian Animal workshop to WHPS. The
workshop is a safe, hands-on wildlife experience for Prep students only. Each grade will attend the workshop for an hour session.
The cost of the session is $12.00 per child. This incursion and another in Term 4 will replace the Prep excursion.
Payment of $12.00 is to be made to the office or on Qkr before 4.00pm tomorrow Friday, 24th
July. No late payments will be
accepted in accordance with WHPS policy.
NB: If you have applied and qualify for the new Camps, Sport & Excursions Fund (CSEF), the cost of this incursion will be
covered in full. Please contact the office for further details.
Prep Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) Due to the sport’s shed being used for production practice on Monday afternoon and the Preps attending gym on Mondays for the
last 4 weeks of Term, we will not be able to have PMP this term. Thank you to those parents who have offered to help this term.
Term 3 Integrated Unit Our Term 3 unit of work will focus on Indigenous Australians and the importance of Australian animals in their culture. You may
like to look for books, pictures, DVDs or information on the Internet about Indigenous Australians and Australian animals and bring
them along to school to share with us.
School Uniform We have noticed over the past term that many children are not wearing the correct school uniform. As stated in our school policy
correct school uniform is compulsory. This means children are to dress in only navy or pale blue shirts, navy pants without stripes
and logos, and navy jumpers or jackets. The school uniform does not include coloured jackets, tights, leggings and skivvies that are
not navy or pale blue. If your child attends school out of uniform they will be changed into the correct school uniform using clean,
spare clothes or you will be contacted to bring up the correct uniform for your child.
Hint for the Week 1. Have a set morning routine. Kids thrive on routine and a structured morning routine will set your child up for the day,
remembering that it should always include a big, nutritious breakfast. If your usual routine includes television, just be aware that
children who watch TV in the morning are not in the right frame of mind for school. Instead, give your child responsibilities to
increase their independence, such as making their beds or packing their own bags.
2. Be on time every time. Teachers love parents who respect bell times explaining that being late to school means your child walks
into a lesson that is already underway. It is embarrassing for your child, they miss out on important instructions and learning and it
can take them a while to settle down and focus on the lesson.
Grade 1/2 News Students of the Week 2RD – Teeka Y for consistently working hard in all areas.
