3. Emails should be brief. Anything that requires a lengthy email needs an appointment.
4. Emails should not deal with lost property items.
5. Do not send sensitive information through emails. Instead, send an email requesting a meeting time to discuss your concern or incident. Sensitive issues are best dealt with face to face.
6. Do not send emails in anger or haste. Consider the facts and consequences of sending an email before you click ‘Send’. Intimidating emails will not be tolerated and will result in parent emails being blocked.

The next stage of our undercover walkway was completed earlier this week. The area outside Rooms 29 and 30 now links up with the covered areas outside Rooms 27, 28, 31 and 32. Most of the materials to be able to complete this work were supplied by the Department free of charge. The next stage will be completed in 2014. This will consist of extending the area outside Rooms 12 and 13, and linking the area outside Room 24 to the area beside Room 25 which will provide coverage outside the Library. We will also be looking in to linking the area outside Room 26 to the area outside Room 28 but this will depend on whether there will be enough materials to complete this.

RADIO SHOW NEWS
School Radio Local Celebrity
Troy McVay has been working with Mrs Bearup this year to redevelop the school Radio program. He kindly offers his services each Thursday and has been working with students to produce a talk show here on Patto FM. Now that the program has expanded Troy is helping train students in radio craft as well as produce the pre-recording of the Troy segment which forms an important part of the student created radio broadcast each Friday. Nosey Bear interviewed Troy and this is what he said…
For members of the staff, parents and any students that may have recognised a young-ish man walking in and out of the radio studio every Thursday and can’t quite recall who it is, let me help you.
My name is Troy McVay, I’m a former student here at Patto (Class of 2006) and was one of the first students to use the radio station when it was first put in place back when I was in grade 6.
Since then I’ve graduated from Mordialloc College and am now studying Media and Communications at Swinburne University. But that doesn’t really have much to do with why I returned to P.L.P.S.
You see, around about the middle of my high school years I remembered how much I enjoyed being a part of the radio program at Patto and wondered if there was some way I could once again be a part of the radio scene. Which is why, in 2010 I signed up to be a member of 88.3 Southern FM located in Mentone.
After a quick meet and greet with the president of Southern FM, I was then thrown into the deep end and given a 2 hour slot in the programs, all I had to do was come up with some kind of show, however it was immediately after that I knew what I wanted to do.
So from then on I was presenting Rock The House Down, a Rock music show presented every Saturday from 2-4pm during Southern FM’s Summer season of August to April, which I had to not only present on my own, but I also had to produce and prepare every show by myself, but I’m not complaining because it’s given me complete freedom with how the show works.
Towards the end of 2011 I was enjoying my work on Southern FM, but I felt like I had nothing to do during the other half of the year where Southern FM presents it’s Winter season programming. So I decided to sign up for another radio station, the Student Youth Network, or better known as SYN which is located in the city, right next to the state library. After doing SYN’s under 18 training program which involved me presenting a show every week for 10 weeks with 2 other presenters, I was given the opportunity to present whatever I felt like at SYN.
So since then I have now presented 2 different shows, the first one was basically another version of Rock The House Down titled Dust in the Wind of Objection (Objection being SYN’s program for presenters under the age of 18), and the second show which I am currently presenting titled The Smackdown Hotel. A show dedicated to professional wrestling, and think of it as you will but this show is currently in its second season and has been given the prime time of Fridays from 6pm.
Along with the shows I have also been doing voice over work for online radio station Hitz247, as well as just starting some voice acting roles for various YouTube animators. But that’s a whole other story.
So there’s a little back story for anyone interested, the reason I have come back to Patto however is still yet to be answered.
In the simplest way I can put it, I want to give back to the place that first put this idea in my head and have made this all possible. I’ve come back to volunteer as a trainer for the students that are interested in the rare opportunity that has been put in front of them in the form of a radio station. I want to teach them the tips and tricks I’ve learned in my 3 years in the industry and show them how much fun it can be. Most importantly I just felt this was a way I could thank everybody at Patterson Lakes for putting me on the right track to what will hopefully become an amazing career.
NATIONAL BUDDY DAY
On Thursday 6
th June students will Band together to reduce
bullying. No donation is required but we ask students to wear a splash of purple. Better Buddies is an early intervention program which helps to create friendly and caring school environments reducing all kinds of bullying behaviours. Better Buddies will enhance our buddy systems and provide opportunities to build other cross age activities with the whole school community. Better Buddies develops positive behaviours, as well as building student’s self-esteem, connectedness, social skills, trust and a sense of community. We know bullying is a relationship issue that needs relationship solutions so we have built on the extremely successful concept of buddy systems in schools to build these strong connections across the school

SPORTS REPORT
CROSS COUNTRY DISTRICT REPORT 2013
A cold foggy morning did not stop our cross country team from producing an outstanding effort last Friday at the Cornish Campus.
Our kids were ready to race the 2km/3km course with determination and confidence and it was also great to see our new Patto
sports tops being worn. We are proud to say that 21 out of 62 students made it through to the next round at the Mornington Race
course next Wednesday 5th
June. This is a fantastic achievement. Well done to all students who participated on the day. A special
thanks must go to Henry Hanssen for helping out and to all the parents who came along on the day to support our kids.
The competitors highlighted in bold have made it through to the Northern Peninsula Division 2013 Cross Country being held at
Mornington Race Course, Tyabb Road Mornington on Wednesday 5th June. Congratulations for making it through and good luck!
Students are required to make their own way to the course. Please refer to the information notice for specific details

It was a chilly and foggy morning but that didn’t stop Patto students and their families walking or riding to school last Friday on
‘Walk Safely to School Day’! What a fantastic turn out it was and a great atmosphere at the breakfast. Well done to everyone who
participated and made it a great morning!
The free breakfast was all made possible thanks to the City of Kingston who organised donations from Jalna Yoghurt and Bakers
Delight and supplied all of the wonderful healthy food. They also provided us with their Traffic Engineering Team who helped set up
and prepare the breakfast.
As students walked or rode into school they were also lucky to receive some excellent giveaways supplied by the City of Kingston
such as slap bands, bike bells and lights!
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of the parents and teachers that volunteered their time to help out and made the
breakfast run smoothly. Running these special events would not be possible without you!
