Dear Families,

This week it is a short week and we can see Winter has really kicked in. Please keep warm and well.

Our teachers have already began the planning process for term 3. It is hard to believe we are nearly at the end of term 2.

Thank you to all our families who came to the Cybersafety evening. Sue McClean was very informative and shared with us a number of Social Media sites and aps that we need to be careful about. Our teachers also had some very informative Professional Learning with Susan afterschool.

St John Vianney is an esmart school and we teach the importance of online behaviour and it's value and impact if misused or becomes unsafe.

What is digital citizenship?

Digital citizenship encompasses all aspects of our online behaviour including:

how we communicate and interact with others online
how we create and consume digital media
how we share information including our personal data and that of others
and the way we present and represent ourselves in digital spaces.

Online safety, media literacy and digital literacy are all elements of digital citizenship. these are taught weekly in our digital technology lessons.

Sick or Absent

If your child is unwell or absent do not forget to ring or email the administration office to let them know.

If you like you can also send a seesaw message to let their teacher know. It is very important that with all the illness in the community to keep your child at home if they are showing symptoms.

Reports

On Tuesday 18th you receive the Semester One report for your child/Children. These reports take teachers a considerable amount of time to write. The upcoming Parent /Teacher interview are organised for you to come a discuss the report and to enhance communication between the school and families. Teacher's look forward to this opportunity to meet with families.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

Our PBL lessons officially begin in term 3. Each Monday a lesson will focus on a different aspect of behaviour and explicitly teach what is expected. Students will be rewarded consistently for displaying the positive behaviour.

Students will focus on:

I am Responsible when I...

I am Respectful when I.....

I am Resilient when I....
