Our rich heritage and vision for the future

orwood Primary School is a highly regarded,

Reception to Year 7 School of approximately

405 students. Norwood is a category 7 school,

with a culturally and socially diverse cohort, having approximately 50% of

students from non-English speaking backgrounds. It is an inner metropolitan

school with a proud heritage, strong traditions and identity dating back to

1877. It is also a school with a strong sense of Community demonstrated

through an emphasis on:- Community, Diversity, Creativity and Opportunity. The school is

situated close to the Norwood business precinct. The school adjoins the historic Norwood

Oval, which was once part of the school’s property. The oval was transferred to the City of

Norwood Payneham and St Peters in 1928. An agreement is in place from that time which

allows the school access to, and use of, Norwood Oval most school days under established

agreements and conditions.

Norwood is acknowledged as a school with a strong heritage, tradition and identity. This is

built on a firm foundation of multiculturalism, a strong sense of community and a

celebration of diversity. These aspects of our school’s history continue to influence the

development and operation of our school.

The school offers a strong Language program. Italian is our language of study for all

students and we provide lessons in Hindi and Chinese Mandarin for students who are

eligible for First Language Maintenance. We also have small numbers of International

Students and a small enrolment of indigenous students.

The school’s buildings and facilities reflect its diversity and are highly valued by the local

and wider community for their heritage value. A major and extensive school redevelopment

was completed at the beginning of 2010 which has successfully brought the school more in

line with flexible approaches to C21st. learning. The addition of a new, architecturally

designed Performing Arts Centre, as part of the Commonwealth Government’s ‘Building the

Education Revolution’ scheme, has greatly enhanced student learning opportunities. In

2015, we redeveloped our Year 7 learning spaces to accommodate changes to pedagogy in

line with the development of C21 skills.

There are several joint user agreements in place – with the Norwood Out of School Care

Program, the DECD Instrumental Service, Primary Schools Orchestra, the Norwood

Football Club and various external hirers.

A Community School at Work

Norwood is an Arts Focus School. It implements a highly successful school musical

program, an art show, a stringed ensemble group and choir programs which contribute to

the school’s successful curriculum fabric.

Our curriculum priorities across 2016-17 through the school’s Site Learning Plan are

implemented through an Inquiry based approach. The focus is on

‘’Developing Powerful Learners’

Our priority areas include:

Literacy

Numeracy

Student Voice/Engagement

TfEL, Assessment for Learning & C21 skills

Communication

The school community is also very clear about other valued aspects of the school,

including:

Its strong sense of community

Its social and cultural diversity

The encouragement of creativity

The provision for opportunity

Its high expectations of student achievement

Its concern for the individual

We wish all students, staff and their families to feel very much an integral part of the

Norwood Primary School community.

Norwood Primary School Enrolment Protocols

Norwood Primary School numbers have risen considerably since the beginning of

this year and we are still receiving many enquiries daily. We are now over 80%

capacity which places us under significant enrolment pressure. We are zoned and

will shortly be implementing an Enrolment Management Plan.

Please note, any new enrolments from out of zone siblings will be on hold and no new

International students (full fee paying) will be accepted.

DECD ‘Proof of Residence Requirements’

If you own your own home, a copy of the contract of sale for the property or a recent council rates notice, and a recent gas or electricity bill for that property.

If you rent a home, a rental agreement and a bond receipt lodged with Consumer and Business Services showing the current place of residence—the rental agreement should cover at least the first 12 months the child will be attending the school, and a recent gas or electricity bill for that property.

Renting a room or rooms at a property for your child, does not constitute a primary place of residence. Families must rent an entire property in order for it to be their primary place of residence.

The Principal is responsible for determining whether proof of residence has

been satisfied and may use professional judgement in circumstances where

families are not able to meet these requirements.

It is the responsibility of the parents to verify that the information provided

is true and factual.

Upon receipt of evidence to the satisfaction of the school, the processing of

the enrolment application may be finalized.

TEACHING & L EARNING AT NORWOOD PS

orwood Primary School is proud to be at the leading edge of educational practice. The latest

thinking in education is used to explore and develop models of best practice in student learning.

Our school caters for students of diverse background and ability. Our teaching staff provides broad

curriculum options and opportunities for all students. Additional specialist teachers are provided in

the Arts, Physical Education, Italian, STEM, English as an Additional Language, Special Education and

Learning Assistance Program (LAP). We also provide First Language Maintenance for eligible students

in Hindi and Chinese Mandarin.

Our school has excellent resources and facilities to support our teaching & learning programs. A

comprehensive Library collection services the needs of students and teachers. Students from

Reception to Year 7 use information communication technologies (ICTs) as an integral part of the

curriculum. These include a mixture of desktops, laptops, tablets and ipads as well as interactive

whiteboards and digital cameras.

Norwood Primary School aims to foster a love of learning and the development of the individual’s

capacities. Students are encouraged to strive for personal excellence in all areas of the curriculum.

We have a strong focus on the development of the General Capabilities contained within the Australian

Curriculum, as well as a site direction towards the development of learning muscles, in line with C21

skills and dispositions. These include the teaching and development of RESILIENCE,

RESOURCEFULNESS, REFLECTIVENESS and RECIPROCITY in our learners.

The Australian Curriculum and Cross Curricular Priorities form the remaining aspects of teaching and

learning, as well as the Keeping Safe Child Protection Curriculum and a range of social skills/wellbeing

initiatives.

The seven general capabilities are literacy, numeracy, information and communication technology

capability, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding, and

intercultural understanding. Learning continua are available for each capability, which describe the

relevant knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions at particular points of schooling.

The Australian Curriculum focuses on three cross-curriculum priorities: Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander histories and cultures, Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia, and Sustainability.

We have an active student voice, with various structures in place to develop student leaders, including

SRC, House Leaders and Year 7 Team Leaders. There are also many self-initiating groups that pop up

during the year to support charities/fundraising or plan special events at our school.

Throughout the year students are exposed to a wide of variety of performances, either in the school

hall or other venues easily accessible because of the school’s close proximity to Norwood Parade and

the city centre. Camps and excursions are a complementary part of Norwood Primary School’s

educational program.

OUR COMMUNITY

Families and Staff of Norwood Primary School share a sense of community which could well be

described as an extended family, committed to the education of the students. Parent groups assist

the school in meeting its objective of providing excellence in education. Many parents help in the

school library, classrooms and with sporting teams. In these ways our parents help create the family

atmosphere of the school. Several parent events are held through the year, including a Quiz Night

and Multicultural Evening. There is also a growing number of social groups amongst class parents who

arrange a variety of gatherings for parents and/or children.

UT OF SCHOOL SPORTS

A Sports Management Committee, consisting of staff and parent representatives, provides

opportunities for Norwood Primary School students to participate in organised (inter-school) sports.

The Sports Management Committee reports to Governing Council.

All sports are offered on the basis of participation, education, fun and availability of appropriate

coaches or managers. The committee will identify sports, monitor student participation, supervise

appointment of coaches and managers, provide appropriate equipment and resources, and ensure that

Out of School Hours Sport at Norwood Primary School is conducted in accord with the School’s Sports

Policy which includes documented codes of conduct and behaviours. Currently sports on offer are:

Cricket, Netball, Basketball, Soccer, Aussie Rules and Pedal Prix.

ARENT GROUP

Parent Group plays a very important role in the life of our school. It provides strong positive

community support for the school and encourages parents to be involved in the school in a variety of

ways:

Its role is to:

work with Governing Council and the Leadership Team to support school events

welcome new families to the school

provide opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the school

co-ordinate and implement special events that will enhance school life eg. Fruit Days, Milo days

fund-raise for additional purchases for student benefit. In the past, donations have been made to

support play equipment purchase, a portable freezer for outdoor events, seating in the grounds and

many other items.

The Parent Group usually meets in the staffroom twice each term. Everyone is welcome.

OVERNING COUNCIL

School Governing Council is the parent body responsible for the general oversight of the school.

Governing Council works with the Principal to guide the management and development of the school by:

providing input to the development of educational policies for the school

participating in the assessment of needs of the school in relation to the provision of facilities,

resources and funds.

managing the school’s finances, particularly in regard to developing the annual budget

developing relationships between the school and the community

Governing Council usually meets twice each term. Members are elected at our Annual General Meeting,

which is held in early February each year. It has a number of sub-committees which support its work.

Parents may raise matters by attending meetings, writing a letter or approaching individual members.

There are many potential benefits when parents become involved in the school.

Research shows that children are more likely to succeed academically and socially, and to enjoy school,

when their families are involved in their education.

At Norwood Primary School, we invite you to become involved in our school community in any of the

following ways:

helping in class – eg. listening to reading, helping with stories or going on excursions

coaching sports

LAP tutoring (Learning Assistance Program)

helping at working bees

coming to school functions

covering books in the library

working on any of the school’s committees or sub-committees

helping your child with homework

helping with our performing or visual arts programs

Welcome to Norwood Primary School!

The whole community; students parents and staff, are aware of the school’s position on bullying. This is achieved through information packs to new families, newsletter articles, policy update information, quality teaching programs and the teaching of values.

Prevention strategies include:

Using the curriculum to teach students our school values about respectful relationships, civics and citizenship.

Providing opportunities through class meetings and Circle Time, for students to discuss issues & concerns openly in a supportive environment.

Ongoing dialogue throughout the year with students about the school’s guiding principles of Creativity, Community, Opportunity and teaching for and about Diversity.

Developing programs to help students participate and have a say in their own learning.

Teaching students about conflict resolution, anger-management and problem solving and promote student safety (eg. social skilling program-‘Play is the Way’).

Having in place induction for new students and staff to ensure they understand the school’s vision.

Distribute policy to parents making explicit the statement, guidelines and policies that underpin it.

Providing professional Development for staff in collaboration with local agencies

Intervention strategies:

Bullying is the deliberate abuse of power.

Bullying is not a normal part of growing up or part of any ‘toughening processes’ that a child has to go through.

Bullying is not simply about difference. It may occur because of people’s inability to accept and value difference.

Bullying is everyone’s business. Just because it has always happened is no reason to let it continue.

Bullying can seriously affect wellbeing and engagement. Students will find it difficult to engage with learning programs if significant physical, social and emotional issues distract them.

Discipline is based on establishing a supportive learning environment where expectations and consequences of both appropriate and inappropriate behaviours are clearly understood by all students. The policy focuses on students

understanding that they are responsible for their own behaviour and that they make choices about their behaviour. It encourages students to use appropriate negotiation skills, conflict resolution skills and appropriate grievance

procedures to resolve conflict.

Norwood Primary School School Wear Guidelines

At Norwood Primary School we believe that the wearing of school uniform promotes a sense of belonging, pride, safety and unity in our school. Wearing of uniforms enhances our public image, reduces peer pressure and encourages appropriate clothing for school activities. Equality is fostered by a policy common to all students.

Our uniform guidelines are in accord with the dress code guidelines and policy for public schools under the Education Act and are endorsed by the School’s Governing Council, the Principal and the school community. Issues of health, safety, equity and expense have been considered when developing these guidelines.

It is expected that all students will wear school uniform.

The Uniform: The uniform is based on the school colours of navy blue and red and consists of:

Plain navy pants or track pants (no denim jeans) or plain navy skorts, skirts or shorts Navy or red short sleeved polo shirts (school logo preferred). Navy blue windcheaters/polar fleece (school logo preferred). Summer dresses of blue/white or red/white check. Navy blue legionnaires, broad brimmed hat or navy bucket hat with school logo. Winter dress or skirt. School Musical T-shirts.

Year 6 & 7 Students : To encourage a greater sense of identity and responsibility, year 6/7 students may also wear a navy blue ‘seniors’ windcheater.

House T-Shirts These may be purchased and worn for Sports Day and Swimming Carnival only.

School Wear Guidelines: The school has an active learning program in most areas of the curriculum and in our grounds there is a range of outdoor play equipment. All children should be suitably attired with comfortable, practical clothing and footwear. The school uniform is ideal for active participation at school. Additionally:

Sandals may be worn in summer (thongs and slip on shoes are considered dangerous and are not permitted), whilst the wearing of closed in shoes is encouraged at all times.

Hats are to be worn between 1st September and 30th April (unless UV level reaches 3 or above). This is part of the school’s sun smart policy

Jewelry can frequently be a health and safety risk and is therefore not permitted, other than sleeper or stud earrings, watches, or medically required identification.

Face makeup and nail polish are not permitted. The wearing of brand names on clothing is not permitted (this includes local sports clubs and SAPSASA).

The Principal may exempt students from wearing the school uniform upon written request from a parent or caregiver on cultural, medical or religious grounds.

The Governing Council will review this policy annually.
