Volunteer Training

This term there will be one opportunity to complete your volunteer training. Here are the steps to becoming a newregistered volunteer:

Step 1: Organise a Working With Children Check (WWCC).  Complete the form below and bring to the school office with your 100pt identification.

Step 2: Complete the Valuing Safe Communities online training. This takes approximately 30 minutes.  Please note that the certificate issued at the end of the training is to be shown to School's front office staff for verification. Instructions on accessing the online training  can be found via the attachment below.

Step 3: Read the following policies from our school website here. 

Step 4: Complete the declaration form below to declare that you have read these policies. This is to also be brought to the School's front office.

Step 5: Attend one of our in-house Volunteer Training sessions which will be held on the following dates: 

• Week 2 - Tuesday 24th October at 2:30pm 

Please contact the school front office if you are planning to attend one of these sessions or if you are interested in the training.

Scholastic Catalogue

Scholastic catalogues have been sent home with students this week. Orders are only being accepted via the Loop ordering system. No cash will be accepted.

If you need help to do this please come and talk to us at the front office. Scholastic apps are available to download for both Apple and Android devices to make ordering through the Loop system easier. There is the option to mark your purchases as GIFTS. When these books arrive you will be contacted directly, rather than books going home with students.

Please also note that some titles offered, differ from the Christian ethos followed by the school. Orders need to be placed via LOOP by Thursday 26th October 2023.  

Happy reading everyone!

Equipping Resources

I thought that I’d reshare the ‘Equipping Resources’ that I mentioned just before the school holidays. Three ideas to try out with your families to nurture faith at home. Sometimes people feel a little reluctant to engage in conversations that involve faith, preferring to leave that kind of thing to the ‘experts’. 

The ‘Encouraging faith at home’ resource outlines the four keys that underpin Grow resources: Caring Conversations, Devotions, Service and Rituals/ Traditions. There is a ‘Sharing your faith with your children’ resource, with ideas to try out. If you would like a copy of the Talk Time cards, I’m happy to share them with you. The last resource gives you some ideas to help you explore the bible with your family.

Seesaw Update

We wanted to keep you in the loop and share that on October 27th, 2023, Seesaw is launching an exciting new logo, app icon, and website. The functionality of the Seesaw platform will not change. 

How will this affect families?

We recommend families update the app as soon as possible. We have created and are sharing resources for teachers to share with families to help them update at home.
