Congratulations to our birthday children
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.
Transition Next term Prep teachers will be visiting pre-schools to get to know the children enrolled at our school for 2015. If you have not yet
completed your enrolment form we ask that it be returned to the school office as soon as possible so that your child can be visited.
Parents or older siblings can pick up enrolment forms from the school office or Mrs Ellis.
School Nurse Visit Our School Nurse, Leona Evans, will be visiting our school over three weeks from August 18
th. Leona will offer sight and hearing
tests for Prep children if requested by parents. This service is free and we encourage all parents to consider having their child’s sight
tested as each year at least 2 children have been assessed as needing glasses. Parents can request to attend the assessment or make an
appointment with Leona to discuss any queries they may have about their child’s health, development or behaviour.
Even if you don’t wish your child to be seen by the school nurse, the form sent home last week, must signed and returned to
your child’s classroom teacher. All forms for the School Nurse must be returned to school by Friday 1 August. If you have
misplaced your form please see Mrs Ellis for another.
Parents with children in other grades can also ask for sight and hearing assessments for their child during this time. Please see Mrs
Ellis for further information.
Getting Ready For School Night: Next Tuesday
Our second Getting Ready for School Night, focusing on Language, will be held next Tuesday, 5th
August. This night is designed to
assist parents of children who start school next year in preparing their child for Literacy learning at school. The night runs from
6.30-7.30pm in the Grade 6 rooms with childcare available in the Prep rooms. Further information concerning this night can be
obtained from Mrs Ellis.
Keeping Kids Safe Part 3 From an article from "Parenthood" by Robin Barker.
Practising Skills with Role Play
Safety skills can become part of your child's everyday life with a bit of practice. Whether it's checking first with a familiar adult, not
giving away personal details, avoiding and getting out of risky situations or knowing what to do if he or she gets lost, there are easy
role-playing scenarios you can do in a non-threatening way. This will make sure he or she really understands what to do and has the
confidence to do it if the need arises. Outings to shopping centres or parks are good opportunities to reinforce safety skills, so they
become second nature. At the same time reassure your child that you are there for him or her. The most crucial element to personal
safety for our children is parental supervision and attention.
Hand Washing With some of our children having colds at the
moment we are encouraging all children to
carefully wash their hands with soap and ask that
you encourage them to do the same. The critical
moments for hand washing with soap are after
using the toilet and before handling food.
Hand washing is a cornerstone of public health.
Hand washing with soap is amongst the most
effective ways to prevent diarrheal diseases and
pneumonia, which together are responsible for
the majority of child illness and deaths. Hand
washing can also prevent skin infections, eye
infections, colds, flu and intestinal worms.
Washing hands with water alone is significantly
less effective than washing hands with soap.
Proper hand washing requires soap and a small
amount of water. Using soap works by breaking
down the grease and dirt that carry most germs,
facilitating the rubbing and friction that dislodge
them and leaving hands smelling pleasant.
Lost Property There is a large amount of lost property in the box located near the office. Most items are unnamed. Please make sure all items of
clothing are clearly named, especially jackets, as the 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 will be given to the sickbay or charity.
Canteen: No Slushies During colder weather, slushies will not be available in the canteen until further notice.
It’s Not Okay to be Away Children should attend school every day unless they are ill or have a valid reason for being away. For example, a child’s birthday is
not a reason for being away from school. Studies show that children with more than 20 days of absence in a school year are
seriously at risk in their learning. They miss so much work and are not able to keep up with their peers!
If your child is absent for more than a day, please call the school and advise the classroom teacher of the reason. Our school’s
policy is for the classroom teacher to phone the parent after more than one day of unexplained absence. When your child returns to
school, please send them with a signed written note, explaining the reason for the period of absence.
Your support with regular attendance is appreciated.
Asbestos Audit An asbestos audit will be conducted at our school on Friday, 15
th August by a contractor appointed by the Department of Education
and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). This is a precautionary measure as all previous audits have found the school to
be asbestos-free.
The information below has been supplied by DEECD:
As part of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s Health and Safety Management Plan , new labelling
will be installed at schools.
The labels remind people to contact school reception prior to undertaking any works at schools, to ensure they have up-to-date
information from the school’s asbestos register.
Asbestos - which was used extensively in building materials in the past but is now banned - is considered safe unless damaged or in
poor condition.
The new labels form part of a comprehensive program to ensure Victorian government schools remain safe.
Children’s safety is our number one priority. That is why we are taking this extra step as a precaution.
Mr Damien Jenkyn Principal
Music / Drama News Choir The choir will be performing at Strath-Haven residential home on Friday, 5
th September. The children will be travelling to and
from the venue by bus. The children will depart during lunchtime and return by 3.30pm. Permission notices will be sent out in a
week or so. Please ensure that they are completed and returned as soon as possible.
We will also require some parent helpers to assist with supervision on the day.
Drum, Keyboard and Singing Lessons There are still positions available for lessons in drums, keyboard and singing. If you wish to have your child begin lessons, the costs
are approximately $18 – 20 for a half hour lesson and a note should be sent to the office with ‘music lessons’ written on the front.
Lessons are taken by professional teachers on either Tuesday or Friday. Please note, if there is sufficient interest then singing
lessons will commence Term 3.
Mr Vern Wall Music / Drama Teacher

Father’s/Special Person’s Day Stall: Friday, 5th September Father’s Day is fast approaching and we are seeking donations. All families are asked to please donate a gift to the value of $2.00
per child, and drop them into the office ready for our stall.
Some gift ideas could be: chocolates, socks, hankies, pens, notepads, mugs, tools, plants and we welcome any new ideas, etc. Items
must be new. Please note that all gifts will be sold at $2.00.
If you are able to help on the day of the stall, please contact the office.
School Fair: Friday, 7th November, 4.30pm-7.30pm
We have commenced working towards our School Fair and are currently asking for donations from local businesses for prizes and
activities. If there are any families in our school community who have a business and can help out with donations of vouchers or
items, can you please leave them at our school office. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
Parents Club & Fundraising Committee
Prep News Shoes for Junior School Children With the wet weather, in an attempt to protect our carpets, children with muddy shoes have been removing their shoes when they
come to school, after recess and lunch times and placing them on a trolley near the door. This requires teachers to tie children’s
shoelaces several times a day. If your child is unable to tie their own laces and you need to buy them new shoes please consider
purchasing pull on boots or shoes with velcro that your child can put on and take off by him or herself. Please name all shoes.
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.
Prep Excursion to Ballarat Wildlife Park As part of our study of Indigenous Australians and Australian animals we will be visiting the Ballarat Wildlife Park on Thursday,
14th August. The bus will leave school promptly at 8.30am and return to school at approx. 4.00pm. Children will need to be at
school by 8.10am on this day. As the cost of our major excursion is not covered by the pre-payment of minor excursions, the total
cost of our Ballarat excursion for all Preps will be $34. In line with our school excursion policy, this excursion must be paid for by
Monday, 11th
August. Late payments will not be accepted. Four parents will be able to assist us on this day and children will not be
placed in a group with their parent. Under DEECD regulations no toddlers will be able to come on this excursion.
For further information please see Mrs Ellis.
Hint For The Week Read aloud to your children for at least 15 minutes every day, even if it is the same story three times over. Read with animation.
Listen to your own voice and don’t be dull, flat or boring. Don’t rush when you read. Pause at the end of each page to give your
child time to ask questions, talk about the story and characters and give his or her opinion. By talking through the story children
develop important speaking and listening skills.

Naming Jumpers We are currently finding that there are a lot of jumpers and bomber jackets coming to school without names on them. Please ensure,
if you purchase a new item of clothing for school, that your child’s name is clearly marked so that it can be returned if it is removed.
Grade 2 excursion Grade 2 students will be going on an excursion to the Melbourne Aquarium this term to coincide with our integrated unit ‘Nemo’s
Playground’. More information to come.
School stationary All students stationary was supplied in the book packs at the beginning of the school year. A lot of children have lost essential items,
such as grey lead pencils, rulers and whiteboard markers. These items are used daily and the school does not have enough spares to
cater for the amount of students who have misplaced theirs. We are asking if parents could please ask their child if they have these
items and replace them if needed. We appreciate your support.
Learning Portfolios Parents please ensure all learning portfolios are
bought back to school as soon as possible.
Classroom teachers need them back to start
organising term 3 items to showcase.
Students work For the past 2 weeks Grade 2 students have been
focusing on writing clear procedures. Here are
some examples.

BOLD is hosting an information evening How to Colour your World? - Irlen Dyslexia Syndrome and Perceptual Disorders
Irlen Syndrome is a perceptual problem that prevents an estimated 10 – 15% of the population from being able to
read and learn efficiently. Individuals with Irlen perceive the printed page and sometimes their environment
differently. Irlen tinted filters worn as glasses or coloured overlays, reduce or eliminate perceptual difficulties
and light sensitivity
Do you have a student or a child that:
Has difficulty reading print, numbers or musical notes?
Has the print on the page shift, shake, blur, move, double or disappear?
