FREE BREAD, MILK AND FRUIT EVERY WEDNESDAY

Breakfast Club Baskets continue to be popular. Our Health Ambassadors and their teacher mentors are managing the program with great enthusiasm and diligence. Goodies are available at 8.30am, as we try to support students who may not have had any breakfast. 

PENINSULA THERAPY DOG NETWORK

Here is Bella in attendance at the Peninsula Therapy Dog Network.  Dogs of all shapes and sizes are working in various settings....aren't they cute!

No Dogs On School Grounds Please We are fortunate enough to have Bella, our school Therapy Dog, on site 3 days a week. She has gone through extensive training to make it safe and permissible for her to be on the school grounds. She wears a Therapy Dog vest so you can clearly see that she is a trained Therapy Dog.

Unfortunately, other dogs are NOT permitted on the school grounds. It is unsafe for the students as untrained dogs can be unpredictable, some students have a fear of dogs, and the mess left can be a problem.

We have signs on our fences to show that dogs are not permitted on our school grounds. Could you please help us keep our students safe by ensuring that you do not bring your dog onsite.

Assembly  will be on Fridays on odd weeks of this term during session 5.  Dates remaining are Friday, Dec 2 and 16. They are held in the Gym starting at 2.00pm and we have a video link you can watch also. 

Attendance We continue to look closely at our attendance data and support students who may have trouble with regular attendance. Weekly meetings are offered to support students and families.

We also have weekly meetings with the families of students on Behaviour Support Plans so we can work together to understand situations happening and how we can best support the student to make great choices. 

We will recognise student attendance at the conclusion of every term. 

Just a reminder that we are an accredited Sunsmart school. This means students are strongly encouraged to wear their broad brimmed school hat or stay in the shade. From September until May, no hat means no play. UV rays increase in intensity from September—these are what burn the especially sensitive skin of children—even on cloudy days.
