Dear Parents, Welcome to the 2020 school year. Congratulations on choosing
to send your child/ren to a Catholic School. Naturally every
family wants the very best education possible for their child/ren.
We promise to do all in our power to ensure that throughout
this year your child is happy, feels safe, enjoys friends and
achieves the highest academic outcome possible.
We will also work hard, in partnership with you, to provide a
Catholic environment where each one of us is challenged to live
in ways that witness love, compassion, forgiveness and peace.
Bushfire Crisis Over the holiday period we have all been mindful that Australia
and much of Victoria has suffered devastating bushfires. Our
thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted by this
terrible event. We know that some school families found
themselves in holiday destinations close to fires and experienced
the resulting trauma of needing to evacuate and return home
often on busy smoke filled highways.
We are also conscious that many school families have relations
and friends in the bushfire areas and that the past weeks have
been a time of worry and stress for all involved. As a school
community our thoughts and prayers remain focused on those
whose lives have been touched in any way by the fires and our
admiration and respect for the fire fighters and volunteers’
contributions makes one very proud to be Australian.
Our School
Vision:
“Creating
authentic
relationships for
successful living
within a
Catholic
tradition.”
Bethany Catholic
Primary School is
committed to the
safety, wellbeing
and protection of
all children in our
care.

Child Safe Bethany is a child safe school. The school’s Child Safe Policy can be found on the school website
and we encourage everyone to familiarise yourself with this policy.
Keeping Children Safe All school aged children are expected to attend school. Punctuality and daily attendance at school is
expected.
Absent from School Should a child be absent from school or will be arriving late, where possible the school needs to be
notified in advance (the day prior to being absent). Please either complete the form at the end of this
newsletter, phone the school or call into the office.
Should a parent decide unexpectedly not to send a child to school, a phone call to the absentee line
would then be required by 8.30 a.m. on the day of absenteeism. To report an absent student by phone
you will be requested to Press 2 and leave a message with your name, the student’s name, hub, date/s
of absence, and reason for absence. Messages can be left 24 hours a day but must be made by 8.30 a.m.
on the day of absence.
Attendance at school is expected and students should only be absent if they are unwell or where
parents deem the circumstances necessary.
Where possible, please let us know in advance if your child will not be at school or phone
the school (Ph. 9742 9800) by 8.30 a.m. on any day when your child is absent or will be late.
Additional School Phone Number - Important
The school has added another number 03 9218 4300. You may see this number when the school
calls you. Please save this number to your contacts for Bethany. The existing number 9742 9800 will
continue to be one of the numbers you can call.

Advice from Catholic Education Commission Victoria Coronavirus You will be aware of the emerging outbreak of novel coronavirus. Cases have been reported
predominantly in the city of Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China, as well as other Chinese cities
and in other countries, including at least one confirmed case at the time of writing in Victoria,
Australia.
The Australian Government has advised that there is no cause for alarm with respect to the
coronavirus and that the risk to the Australian public remains relatively low.
The Catholic Education Commission of Victoria Ltd (CECV) has consulted with the Department of
Education and Training which, in collaboration with Vitoria’s chief Health Officer and Department of
Health and Human Services has provided the following advice to schools and local communities:
Everyone can protect against infections by practising good hand hygiene and respiratory hygiene.
Cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing with a tissue, or cough into your elbow,
dispose of the tissue into a bin and then wash your hands afterwards. Wash your hands regularly, after
using the toilet, and before eating.
The recommendation (as at 30 January) is that parents/guardians/carers of students should ensure
that any student is isolated at home and should not attend school for 14 days if they:
• Have had exposure to any confirmed novel coronavirus case; or
• Have recently left Hubei Province (the 14 days isolation at home is from the time they left
the province.)
The Chief Health Officer’s current advice is that staff and students do not need to be isolated at
home if they have recently travelled in other parts of China or other countries and are not showing
any symptoms of the virus.
Parent Advice and updated info available at:
https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/department/Pages/coronavirus.aspx
As always, we will be responsive to ongoing Government and Catholic Education advice regarding
this situation.
In the meantime you are welcome to chat with the school leaders if you have any concerns.
Anaphylaxis There are a number of children in our school at risk of anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic
reaction which is caused by certain foods. Peanuts and other nuts are the most likely foods to cause
anaphylaxis.
All of our staff have been made aware of this situation and have been instructed in the correct
procedures in recognising and responding to anaphylaxis.
An important understanding in the prevention of food anaphylactic reactions in school children at risk,
is the essential step for the children to develop strategies for avoidance of particular foods at school
and in the wider community. This occurs at the appropriate age for each child.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 6
However as an additional support to children at risk of anaphylaxis, we ask that you do not send
foods to school that contain peanuts or nut products.
This is helpful as in a school setting, cross-contamination is the greatest risk for this type of allergy. It
would therefore assist the children at risk if you do not to send these foods.
Change of Address / Phone Details In the interest of child safety it is most important that you notify us immediately if you have a change
of residential address or phone number. You are required to also update this information for your
Working With Children Check if you hold one.
Early Arrival – PLEASE NOTE THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY Students are asked not to arrive at school prior to 8.30 a.m. as there is no direct supervision
available. If you need supervision prior to 8.30 a.m. it is expected that you access care at Quantin
Binnah (Ph 9742 5040).
No Student to arrive at school
before 8.30am
After School Safety After school, parents and carers are responsible for the supervision of the children in their care. It is
very important that parents and carers collect their children from outside their Centres unless they
have arranged for them to go on the walkers line, bikers line or After School Care. As children cross
the carpark it is expected that they would walk with their parent or carer.
The Fitness Track, Fort, Oval and Sandpit are out of bounds after school.
If parents choose to allow their children to play on the larger play equipment at the Heaths Road end
of the school, then the children must still follow the rules set by Bethany. This means that children can
only play on the age appropriate equipment that they are allowed on during school time.
Children in the Junior School can use the middle playground
Children in year 3/4 can use the equipment closest to Heaths Road
Children in year 5/6 can use the equipment closest to the carpark.
Parents with a child in Prep need to be aware that at this stage Prep students have not been briefed by
the school regarding safety when using the junior play equipment.
If children play on the equipment, then an adult must be present at the equipment and supervising
the play.
The school will not be held responsible for any accidents or difficulties that
arise after school when the children are in the care of their parents and carers.
Children may not be on the equipment without a supervising adult.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 7
All school gates, except the main gate, will be locked between 3.45 - 4.00 p.m. daily. The Retford
Close bottom gate will be locked at 3.10 p.m.
No Smoking A reminder that Bethany is a no smoking zone. Thank you for respecting this policy.
No Pets In the interest of student safety we also ask that no pets are brought onto the site.
Communication Creates a Vital Link Our school vision challenges us to “create authentic relationships so that we can be successful in our
living”. Such relationships are based on our ability to create trusting dialogue.
To this end, I strongly encourage parents and teachers to take every opportunity to communicate with
each other - in person, over the phone or through letters.
On Thursday, 27th February, there will also be an Open Night - an opportunity to spend time touring
the school and chatting with all our educators.
In the meantime, we encourage parents to take the opportunity to chat with teachers any night after
school.
Tangible Ways to Strengthen our Community Leadership Assembly – Thursday, 27th February at 9.00 a.m. Attend the first assembly of the year and support our Year 6 leaders as they respond to the call to
leadership. All students from Foundation (Prep) to Year 6 attend this assembly and we are hopeful
that a large number of parents will join with us for the celebration.
Open Night – Thursday, 27th February from 5.30 – 7.15 p.m. Keep this evening free – an opportunity to visit the school, to tour the Centres and informally chat with
teachers. The evening is scheduled from 5.30 – 7.15 p.m. There is no set organisation. Some families
visit for a short time. Some families linger longer. A great night to meet all teachers in all Centres.
Our Open Nights are optional events, but those who respond to this invitation always benefit from the
experience.
The Bethany Festival The Bethany Festival will be held on Friday, 20th March.
The Festival is a great night – a great way to both experience and help create the Bethany Spirit for
which we are so well known.
The Festival is an opportunity for Foundation (Prep) to Year 6 students and their families to enjoy a
great fun night. The evening consists of bush dancing, a picnic tea and a series of great acts.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 8
In particular I encourage all families who are new to the school to make every effort to attend the
Festival – a great way to connect – a great family night – a great opportunity to see your child connect
with their friends.
Festival tickets will be on sale in early March.
Parent Sub-Committee News
Fundraising Incorrect information – The holiday news provided incorrect winners of our Christmas raffle. The
families named were the 2018 winners and not last year’s winners.
Our 2019 winners were:
The Christmas Stocking was won by the Cutropia Family.
The Giant box of chocolates was won by Scicluna Family.
Congratulations!!
Thanks to the generosity of the community we raised $16,000 in 2019. This money will be added to
school funds to now enable us to air condition the school hall and to upgrade the school playground
equipment. The community has long been aware that air conditioning the hall was to be our next
priority in facility upgrade. The decision to upgrade the playground equipment was determined by the
parents who regularly attend our School Community Group meetings.
School Fee Raffle The first fundraising activity for the year is our School Fee Raffle. This raffle is always extremely
popular with the first prize being the payment of a school fee (valued $1,600).
Should you have already paid your fees you can claim the money or use the prize to pay 2021 school
fees in advance.
A book of tickets will be sent to each family in the coming weeks.
Hospitality Members of this group are responsible for our term one cuppas and chats. Join with us on:
Tuesday, 4th February: 8.50 – 9.30 a.m.
Thursday, 13th February: 8.50 – 9.30 a.m.
Thursday, 27th February: after assembly 9.20 – 9.45 a.m.
All welcome – a great way to meet other parents.
Service The leaders of this group are calling for volunteers to assist with the icypole roster. Without such
generous volunteers the various services offered in the school couldn’t take place. If you are able to
assist, please return the slip at the end of this newsletter.
Finances Student fees of $365 per student were due by Friday, 31st January. Thank you to those families who
have made payment. We invite all families to finalise this payment this week.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 9
Should you not be in a position to finalise your account, it is vital that you communicate with us.
Schools, like homes have to make ends meet and it is always helpful when families trust us with their
difficulties so that we can adjust the school budget accordingly. Such discussions are always held in
confidence. Rest assured that no child will ever be denied a Catholic Education due to difficulty in
finalising fees.
Payments are invited at the school office in person or by phone.
The school office is open Monday – Friday 8am - 5pm
We accept payment by EFTPOS, cash, cheque at the office.
You may also pay by direct transfer into the school bank account.
School Fees A reminder that if you selected to pay by instalments the first instalment of $535 is due by Friday, 14th
February.
Health Care Card Holders Families with a Health Care Card current on Wednesday, 29th January 2020 may be eligible for the
CSEF (sports and excursion fund) payment of $125 per student.
Applications for this fund can be made at the Admin Centre office. It is most important that you
provide a copy of your Health Care Card when making an application.
If you received the CSEF payment in 2019, you will not need to reapply unless you have a new child
beginning school.
If you are a new family to Bethany and received the payment at your previous school, you will need to
reapply at Bethany.
Families eligible for this fund will only need to pay $240 per student for the Student Fee. The CSEF
will cover the remaining $125.
Student fee: $240 (general resources)
$125 (sports / excursion)
$365 per student
All applications must be completed by Thursday, 20th February 2020
Working in Partnership Reading Helpers ~ Lots of Help Needed The Grade One Reading Tutor program involves parents coming into the school two mornings per
week (Wednesday and Friday) for thirty minutes to assist grade one children with reading skills. (You
do not have to have a grade one child to participate).
Parent volunteers will be trained in how to support the skills that are being covered in the classroom
reading program.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 10
The program gives:
Parents an opportunity to be involved in the school program.
Strategies to help parents work with their own children at home.
Students the opportunity to receive positive feedback and build confidence.
Over time we have come to see that the single biggest benefit of this program is the close relationship
that builds between the tutor and the student. The children experience the support and
encouragement of an adult who is there ‘just for them’. We would really appreciate your support with
this. Ideally we would like parents to commit to both Wednesday and Friday mornings from 8.50 -
9.20 a.m., but we can also offer you either a Wednesday or Friday if this suits your personal
arrangements better. If you are able to assist, please return the slip at the end of this newsletter.
Parent Tutoring will begin on Wednesday, 11th March at 9.00 a.m.
A gentle reminder that volunteers will need a current Working With Children Check.
Athletics Carnival Helpers Bethany Athletics Carnival, Friday, 6th March.
Victoria University Sports Complex
Hoppers Lane, Werribee
As you are already aware, the date for our whole school Athletics Carnival is scheduled for Friday, 6th
March. To make the day a huge success for your children we do need your help on the day. We know
many people prefer to come along and support their children on the sidelines but we do really need
your support and assistance to make our day run smoothly.
We would like to especially invite new prep parents to come and assist on the day. You would
actually be helping at your child’s events and still get to see them compete in the now famous Prep
sprint events.
If you are interested in supporting this amazing sporting event, please indicate by returning the slip at
the end of this newsletter. Even if you can only help out for part of the day let us know and we will
have a job for you.
Our Sports Committee will run a parent meeting on Friday, 28th February from 9.00 - 9.30 a.m. The
meeting to be held in the Staff Room will give you more information on your task for the day.
However, this is not compulsory for helpers as the committee will still send home your task and you
can catch them at 9.00 a.m. on the morning of the carnival at the track.
Please indicate if you will be attending this meeting so we have a seat ready for you. If you have any
queries at all about the carnival, please chat to Gemma, Kirrily or to Centre Leaders. Looking forward
to your support.
A gentle reminder that volunteers will need a current Working With Children Check.
School Uniform We do expect students to wear the school uniform each day and thank families for your support in this
regard. All school uniform items must be labelled with the student’s name. There is no lost property at
Bethany.
A reminder that all students need to wear a Bethany school hat.
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 11
Sports Uniform Days Students need to be in full sports uniform on the following days for term 1:
Exploration Centre: Monday
Discovery Centre: Tuesday
Bridging Centre: Wednesday
Leadership Centre: Friday
Punctuality This week and every week of the year we will be stressing the importance of punctuality.
All students are asked to go straight to their hubs from 8.40 a.m. when a welcome bell will ring. It is
important therefore that children arrive at the school gate at 8.45 a.m. at the latest.
We need to encourage every student to be conscious of the need to develop a habit of punctuality.
Arriving on time is a matter of courtesy. Arriving late for class makes life extremely difficult for
teachers and for other students.
Daily Timetable Session 1: 8.50 a.m.—10.50 a.m.
Recess: 10.50 a.m.—11.20 a.m.
Session 2: 11.20 a.m.— 12.50 p.m.
Lunch: 12.50 p.m.— 1.30 p.m.
Session 3: 1.30 p.m.— 3.00 p.m.
Please do not collect your child during morning or lunch recess times unless it is an emergency.
Collecting Children from School at Times Other than 3.00 p.m. If you need to collect your child before the official dismissal time at 3.00 p.m., we ask that you come to
the office before 2.45 p.m. and sign them out. Once you have signed your child out, you will be given a
slip, which you then take to your child’s hub and give to your child’s teacher. If you go to the Centre
without the slip, the teacher will send you back to the office before you can collect your child. Unless it
is an emergency, no child can be collected between 2.45 – 3.00 p.m.
Lunch Orders Lunches can be ordered on any Monday from Monday, 10th February. Lunches are prepared by a local
provider.
Lunch orders are collected from the school by 9.00 a.m. so if your child should arrive at school after
this time it is not possible to place an order. A current price list is included with this newsletter.
Icypoles Students are able to purchase icypoles every Thursday during Term 1, beginning Thursday, 20th
February.
Zooper Doopers (30 cents)
It would assist class teachers greatly if correct money could be provided. Children are free to purchase
Bethany Catholic Primary School, 80 Thames Blvd, Werribee, Vic., 3030, Ph. 9742 9800
Page 12
one icypole only. Orders and money are collected first thing in the morning. It is not possible to
accept late icypole orders.
Newsletters 2020 Our newsletters are emailed to each family fortnightly on a Monday.
We will continue to send home a printed copy of our Mini News on alternate weeks.
If however your family would prefer to receive your fortnightly Newsletter as a paper copy please
return the slip at the end of this Newsletter to the Admin Centre office.
If you need to update the email address where you receive the newsletter please also return the slip at
the end of this Newsletter to the Admin Centre office.
If we do not receive a response from you, we will email the next newsletter to the email address you
provided previously to the school.
Help Needed A family requires transport for their daughter each afternoon. If you are in a position to transport a
Year 4 student to Baden Drive in Hoppers Crossing we would love to hear from you. Naturally
payment would be made by the family for this service. Should you be in a position to assist or should
you wish for further information regarding this request please chat to Bron in the Admin Centre office.
