Assistant Principal

PB4L News
Thank you for your support in helping your child understand what being safe, respectful, and responsible looks like at school. We have had a wonderful start to the 2022 school year. As the school holidays approach, remember BEING SAFE, BEING RESPECTFUL and BEING RESPONSIBLE can be used at home too. Have a conversation with your child/ren to see what this looks like at home.

Our whole school focus for the last two weeks of this term will be the hall and office area.  The expectations listed below will be shared and practised in each class. Teachers will reinforce these expectations by acknowledging students who demonstrate safe, responsible, and respectful behaviours.

AREA BE SAFE BE RESPECTFUL BE RESPONSIBLE
HALL
  • Walk to and from the hall
  • Keep a safe space from the person in front
  • After visiting the hall, move to classrooms quietly and safely
  • Keep hands and feet to yourself
  • Only go onto the stage when directed by a teacher.
  • Enter and leave in silence
  • Listen to the speaker who is presenting
  • Wear tidy and correct uniform
  • Leave enough space between yourself and the next student
  • Show manners by looking and listening to the teachers
  • When encouraging each other do so with care and appropriate applause.
  • Sit and listen to the instructions given by the teachers
  • Ignore distractions
  • Pick up and place any rubbish in bins
  • Leave the hall tidy

STUDENT FOYER

(Office)
  • Walk to and from the office
  • Ask staff permission to enter the student foyer area during break times/coming from the playground.
  • Wait patiently for assistance behind the student counter
  • Use your manners when speaking to the office staff - Please and thank you’
  • If the office staff are on the phone, please wait patiently
    in silence.
  • Only enter the student foyer under the direction of a staff member

Drink Bottle Reminder

Due to COVID safety measures and our building renovations, our bubblers cannot be accessed. We have installed an ‘easy to use’ tap near the Canteen, where the students can fill their water bottles. The staff provide disposable plastic cups when students forget to bring their drink bottle. Some students seem to be leaving their drink bottles at home on a regular basis. Could we ask parents to do a quick check in the morning to see their child/ren has their drink bottle in their bag? Thank you.

Vegetable WeekVegetable_week.jpg
Today our school joined 126,220 students registered across 514 schools for the Big Vegie Crunch. Forty-four thousand two hundred ninety-six students crunched together at 10.00 am, and a further 12,687 students crunched over Vegetable Week. Even though this was an awful lot of students eating vegetables at one time, it wasn’t enough to break the event’s previous record, but it was very close! Thank you for your support, and peas join us in 2023, and lettuce, try again! 

Chess Club
This term, we have commenced a Chess Club with some of the Year 5 students who have been interested in playing games at lunchtime. In 2023, we hope to play in a chess competition against other schools. The students enjoy the opportunity to hone their skills and learn a few tips from our resident Chess Master, Mr Murphy.
