Assistant Principal Report

Hello Everyone,

Please use the supervised crossing

When picking up or dropping off your child/ren, please use the supervised crossings. 

We have been noticing a number of adults, with children, just crossing the road directly in front of the main school gate. While you may not see this as an issue, it is demonstrating to students that this is ok. Young children can form the belief that this is safe behaviour and they try to copy. I have had to stop some children from running across the road.

Please assist by being an excellent role model and use the supervised crossing.

Volunteers

Should you wish to volunteer at any time during the school year, you must complete a Volunteer Induction Session. It is a requirement of the Victorian Education Department, that any volunteer be inducted into the school.

There are many ways that you can volunteer at our school. Some possible ways could include: 

• Assisting with the preparation and supervision of our breakfast club program
• Assisting with supervision of students during excursions or special events
• Assisting with preparation of whole school events
• Assisting with our specialist programs, such as Art, PE and the library
• Working in classrooms, with small groups of students e.g. reading a story, playing learning games, publishing writing
• Facilitating or assisting with a lunchtime club e.g. gardening, art, sport, science, etc

You will need to have a current Working With Children Check (the form to apply for one is available from the Post Office) and complete the school induction program annually (every year).

For more information, please see the DPW Information and Upcoming Events section of this newsletter.

The first Volunteer Induction Session will be held on Wednesday March 6th at 2.15pm. Please contact the office if you wish to attend.
