Child Saftey and Wellbeing
Child Saftey and Wellbeing at Trafalgar Primary School.
Information for families and the School Community.
In 2022, the Victorian Government has announced new Child Safe Standards to further strengthen child safety across organisations, including schools. The new standards recognise the critical importance of families and the broader school community in maintaining and promoting child safety and wellbeing.
Trafalgar Primary School has reviewed and updated our child safety policies and procedures to ensure they meet the requirements of the new standards. These are available to view on our school website or in hardcopy form at the general office.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to child safety and wellbeing and welcome feedback from families and members of our school community on ways we can further strengthen our child safety policies, procedures and practices.
If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please contact Cameron Nicholls on 03 5633 1566
Chromebook Charging
We have been experiencing a high number of students arriving a school with their Chromebooks not charged to begin the day.
Could parents please remind students to place their devices on charge the night before school so they are ready to go in the morning.
Thanks you for your co operation.
Football
This term Rick White has been working on developing some AFL football rules for school with the Grade 5-6 students. The purpose of these rules are to:
- Reduce student injuries
- Reduce student disagreements about the rules
- Allow students to practice their AFL skills in an age appropriate manner
- Prepare students for the AFL rules they will experience at SSV competitions
Music Update
Festival on the lawn
The date is locked in for the 2023 TPS Festival on the lawn - Friday 1st December. Planning is well and truly underway.
Many vendors including: Parents Club Showbags, Lions Club bbq, Charli’s Donuts, Madison’s Magical Pop and Floss, Dypsy Gypsy Icecream Van and Moore’s Coffee Van are already locked in.
The classes are all voting on their songs in music class next week (Week 7), with rehearsals starting before the end of the term. Drama, dance, and the Kindagarten next door are also beginning planning their performances for the day. The art department are also beginning their planning for the art show that will run on the day.
Looking forward to it.
Stay tuned for more updates.

Breakfast Club
What another fantastic few weeks in Breakfast Club this term!
We have had so many students visit us in the mornings for delicious toasties, cereals and milos to help kick start their learning day! It’s also been wonderful to be inundated with so many students eager to volunteer their time to help make Breakfast Club an amazing experience for all!
If your child is keen to be a Breakfast Club helper, they are welcome to see Mrs Burns or Mrs Marslen to join our growing roster of amazing volunteers.
Helper of the Week awards!
This week’s Helper of the Week award has been presented to M Cochrane and A Wieman.
They have been wonderful helpers many mornings during our busy week, assisting with bringing in the dirty dishes tub, learning how to stack the dishwasher and even serving toast to our school community! It’s been wonderful watching them grow in confidence when attending our Breakfast Club program each morning!
Congratulations !
