Principal’s Report:
I would like to thank everyone for being so flexible
with the change from Friday to Monday of the
Family Fun Day.
The amusement company that supplies the rides
and other activities contacted us early on Thursday
informing us that they would not run the rides on
Friday due to the wet conditions.
As a result we were forced to postpone the Fun
Day and move it to Monday. I know many working
parents had planned to have the Friday with their
child and were unable to do so on the Monday.
This was not ideal for everyone however it was the
best option available to secure the amusements and
food stalls.
Prep Enrolments 2016:
Due to our high number of preps for next year we
are no longer able to accept enrolments from
families who live outside the Cairnlea area.
If you have not yet enrolled your Prep child for
2016 and you live in Cairnlea can you please do
so as soon as possible.
When enrolling, parents are required to supply the
following information:
Proof of residence in Cairnlea
Proof of age (birth certificate or passport) Immunisation certificate
Is Your Child Leaving At the End Of 2015? If your child is not returning to our school in 2016,
could you please notify the office. This
information assists us greatly in the planning of
grades for next year.

Family Fun Day Once again the children, staff and families of Cairnlea Park Primary School
enjoyed an action-packed Family Fun Day. Thankfully, the weather was on our
side this time and there was no sign of the rain which had seen the original day
cancelled. There were plenty of rides and activities and an assortment of
delicious treats to eat. Teachers put a lot of work into the day’s preparation
and manned many of the rides and stalls.
Many thanks go to all of you who contributed to the success of the day.
On Family Fun Day I enjoyed Meltdown because I was always falling and when I fell I nearly did a flip. When I fell I held on the line and tripped Kyle over. I also enjoyed the Octopus Slide because it went very fast and it was fun. Micheal A 1JB
On Family Fun Day I went on the cars, train and swings. I went to see the animals and loved seeing the guinea pigs, rabbits, chicken and sheep. I really liked the hair spray. Maddison had blue, pink and purple hair. Jelena M 1JB

Christmas Food Hampers
Once again our school is
supporting the Salvation
Army’s annual Christmas Food
Drive for less fortunate
families in our community.
Any canned or packaged food, drinks,
sweets or Christmas themed produce
would be most gratefully accepted at
your child’s classroom.
Last year we managed to collect well
over 15 large boxes full of a variety of
goods to be distributed to local
families, proof that Cairnlea Park
Primary School really does
live by our first school rule of
‘Be Kind’.

available:

The sessions will provide an outline of the program, including information about how the iPads will

Cyber Safety Parent Information
Session Knowing how to use online technologies safely, and how to deal with issues, is
essential to young people having positive experiences online. Parents have an
important role to play in helping to educate and guide their children in their online activities.
CPPS has arranged a Cybersafety Internet Safety Awareness Presentation for Parents on
Monday 7th December from 5.30-6.30pm in the school Library.
This session has been arranged through the Cybersmart Outreach program (run by the Australian
Government and ACMA) and will be presented by one of their Outreach Trainers. The presentation
will provide an overview of cybersafety issues focusing on the interests and needs of parents. The
presentation runs for around 60 minutes, and will provide parents with an understanding of
cybersafety topics and advice on how to help children and young people stay safe online.
Further cybersafety information and resources can be found at www.esafety.gov.au

B4UACT As part of our school’s ongoing review procedure, our B4UACT document has been upgraded
to reflect the needs of the school more appropriately. The Student Engagement Committee
has worked during the course of the year to develop this new template for behaviour, and has
sought advice and opinion from both the student body and the staff. It is important that our
parent body and wider community also have an input into developing our behavioural
expectations, and for that reason, the blueprint of our new B4UACT matrix is presented to
you now. Please feel free to add any suggestions you may have, or call in to see me to discuss
any points.
**Please be aware that the expectations accumulate as you read across the matrix….what is
expected as a student is also expected as a class member, community member and as a global
citizen.
I look forward to hearing from you.
