Parent Helpers

For sporting events, it is often necessary for the support of parent/carer helpers for events to run safely and smoothly. Volunteers are often needed to supervise teams, help with scoring, walking to various venues and helping out at activities. We have many carnivals such as cross country, athletics and swimming. All of these events and the many more that are provided to your children will often need parent support. Please consider helping whenever you can, even if it is only for a short time. Thank you. :)

When helping with the children at CEPS, it is required that you wear a Working with Children’s Check (WWCC) displayed on a lanyard at all times. 

If you have not got a WWCC and wish to volunteer, application forms can be found online at: www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au

Remember to sign in each day you volunteer at CEPS via the computer at the office. This is a mandatory requirement. You will also be required to sign out. 

Teaching and Learning

During PE, students are active in moderate to vigorous activity during running and tagging games and skills. They learn fundamental movement skills that enable them to participate in a number of sports as well as learning many social and emotional skills. This term, students will practice striking skills, running, dodging and ball skills such as dribbling, throwing and catching. The students learn rules, follow instructions and work together as part of a team. The students have fun while running around and becoming more confident in their capabilities and sporting prowess.

Communication

If you have any questions or messages regarding your child that I should know about, such as not being able to participate in a PE lesson due to an injury etc, please feel free to contact me using Class Dojo as I check this regularly.  I will also use this to message any questions as well as post photos/celebrations of sporting events.
