Student Supervision after School
I remind you that we have staff on duty supervising students till 3.45pm each day. After 3.45pm any
child in the school grounds should be supervised by parents. If you are unable to collect your child be-
fore this time Camp Australia run our After School Program. This is a tremendous way to ensure your
children are safe and getting a very high level of care after school. We have the contact details at the
office. Students are not to be left at school playing after 3.45pm unless you are supervising them. I
know there are groups who use the time to catch up with friends and allow their children to have a play.
This is great and I encourage that, but some students are telling the yard duty teachers that they have
been told to play on the equipment until their parents arrive. This is not OK, so I ask you to make other
arrangements to have your children collected so they are supervised. Unsupervised students at this time
will be taken to the office until you arrive and collect them.
Student Safety
We are very fortunate to have four School Crossings that service our school. Please use them. It is scary
seeing some parents dash across the road through the traffic to collect your children. I look forward to
seeing parents setting a safe example when around the school precinct.
Book Week Celebrations
What an amazing array of characters we saw last Thursday when the school donned many costumes to celebrate Book Week
Footy News
What a Game!! What’s the concern of a 30 point deficit in the second quarter? Nothing at all really… as long you kick the
next 10 goals? It was certainly a mixed game with the Cats taking the hold in the first half then the Hawks let fly and
showed their depth and ability to work hard and together to ensure a positive result. A final Home and Away game with a
win over the Magpies on Friday night will see the second spot secured and a rematch with Geelong the following week. It’s
been a tough run home for the Hawkers, but hopefully this has ensured the minds are sharp and the tough football that has
been needed will continue into the final series.
Go Hawkers!
Have a great week and keep smiling!

The Flying Bookworm Incursion
By Chelsea.W and Loren from 3JW
On Thursday the 21st of August, most people from Kilberry
Valley dressed up as characters from books to celebrate book
week. Everyone brought their favourite books to school to
celebrate all the wonderful books that have been published.
On this day the company The Flying
Bookworm performed 3 acts from 3
books. 3JW and 3JP saw 2 actors act out
the books ‘The Bear Hunt', 'Custard The
Dragon’ and ’The Gingerbread Man’.
Some lucky students got to act out some parts in the
performances. The lucky students got to play the parts ’the
little cat’, ’the little dog’, ’the little mouse’ and ’the big
dragon’ in Custard The Dragon. Some other lucky students
got to play the parts ‘the chef, ‘the little old lady’, ‘the little
old man’, ‘the cow’ and ‘the horse’ in The Gingerbread Man.
We all hope you had a fantastic Book Week!

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IDEAS Fresh air and regular physical activity is essential to maintain a healthy body. There are many non-structured ways to encourage activity for children and the whole family.
If school is within walking distance, walk instead of driving them to
school. Enquire about Walking School bus in your state or territory.
Visit the beach or park and take the cricket bat/ball and frisbee.
Take the dog for a walk.
Do some backyard gardening and build a vegetable patch .
Visit the local swimming pool .
Visit the local park with playground equipment or take a footy .
Take a bike ride and find favorite local spots for a picnic or drink stop.
Find out, through recreation/community centres about your surrounding areas and organise
a bush walk in the hills or outer city.
Find outings that involve walking, e.g. visit the zoo or a museum.
Participate in a community walk (e.g. all Australian states have a ‘city to surf’ fun run / walk
plus many more community walks).
Choose presents for children that encourage activity, e.g. kites, outdoor equipment, gift vouchers to outdoor activity parks, canoe hire, roller rinks.
Encourage children and the family to help with household chores, such as painting, washing
windows or sweeping leaves.

WELFARE CORNER
Parenting is rarely easy
Being a parent in a new country has added challenges.
Just as it can be difficult for children to learn to be part
of two cultures, learning to parent ‘between’ cultures can
be stressful for families too. Taking a ‘best of both’
approach can help you work out ways to adapt your
parenting to suit your child’s needs, and your own.
Things parents and carers can do
Tell your children stories that help to share a sense
of pride in your culture.
Talk to children about the Australian cultural
values you appreciate. This will help them see
how they can be part of both cultures.
Seek support and advice from people you trust.
Talking with relatives and friends who understand
your values can help you think through the
different problems you might face as a parent.
Take an active interest in activities at your child’s
school. Get to know your child’s teacher and look
for ways to get involved at school.
