School is Better When Your Child is Here

Going to school every day is the most important part of your child’s education. There are no safe number of days for missing school – each day a student misses puts them behind and can affect their educational outcomes and their social connectedness. The best thing you can do is support your child to get to school every day.

Have a read of the article below for tips on establishing positive habits to promote attendance, changes in your child's attitude towards school and what you can do if you see the signs.

Positive Behaviours for Learning

As part of our ongoing development as a PBL school we continue to explicitly teach & model expectations from our matrix.

The foci for the next couple of weeks are:

Respect: 

We use sports equipment appropriately

We listen to and follow the instructions of all staff

Responsibility: 

We keep our hands, feet and objects to ourselves

We stay on task

Resilience:

We show good sportsmanship

We always try our best

These expectations will be explicitly taught during Wellbeing Hour & revisited throughout the week. It would be great if you could also reinforce these expectations at home and ask your child/children how they are following these at school.

The Junior Learning Groups are trialing a simplified, visual version of the PBL Matrix. We will share this with all families via the newsletter later in the term. Stay tuned for more information.

I am on Long Service Leave for the next few weeks. If you have any concerns or need help at any time please contact your Learning Centre Leader or the school office.

Cheers
