What's Happening 

STAY WELL THIS WINTER

Symptoms of influenza (flu) can hit very quickly and may last several weeks. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting the flu.

Keeping our school community well

Parents, carers and students are encouraged to practice prevention measures, including:

· washing and sanitising hands regularly

· avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands

· covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing · staying home if unwell and consulting a general practitioner (GP) or Nurse-on-call as required

· staying up to date with flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.

Flu vaccinations

Flu vaccinations can be booked through GPs and pharmacies, many of which can also provide COVID-19 vaccinations. Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over.

Some people are more at risk of complications from flu and are eligible for free vaccination as part of the National Immunisation Program.

COVID-19 booster

The 2024 COVID-19 booster dose is available for everyone aged 18 and above.

Getting your booster dose remains the best way to prevent severe illness or hospitalisation, especially in people aged over 65 and those at higher risk of severe illness.

Children aged between 5 and 17 years who are at risk of severe illness can also receive a 2024 booster dose.

You can get your next dose at your local pharmacy or GP. To find one near you, refer to the vaccine clinic finder.

SCHOOL WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

What is SWPBS?

School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support is a framework for promoting and explicitly teaching appropriate and positive behaviours. The program aims to create a positive school climate, a culture of student competence and an open, responsive management system for all school community members. 

At Carnegie Primary School we believe that by embracing school wide positive behaviours, we can create an environment that not only supports academic achievement but also nurtures the overall well-being and growth of each student. Teaching, modelling and reinforcing positive social behaviour is an important part of a student’s educational experience. 

In the years to come our teachers will be learning about and explicitly teaching each of the positive behaviours to ensure that students gain a deep understanding of each positive behaviour in various situations and settings.

We will continue to share the Carnegie Primary SWPBS journey in our school newsletter.
