Assistant Principal's Report

Mitch Harris

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support

Respect, kindness and confidence are the values of the school and these have been explicitly taught to students throughout the year. It is pleasing to see students being acknowledged via positive chronicle entries. These can be viewed on Compass.

Mobile Phones and Earbuds

A reminder to students that the school has a no phone and earbud policy in class. This is imperative for maintaining a learning environment that is conducive to good learning routines. If students are caught using phones or earbuds (without explicit permission from the teacher) the item will be collected and the teacher/education support will follow our stages of response which will include communication with the family. The key to promoting a positive environment is awareness, early intervention and consistent and clear support. We thank parents/guardians for reinforcing this message at home.

Sunsmart

Term 4 is a Sunsmart term and we remind all students that they will be required to have a broad brimmed hat for day 1 next term. Students who do not have a hat will be restricted to indoor areas. The school has a small number of hats to loan, but this is for students who occasionally forget theirs,and are not for regular loans.
