Percentage of Attendance per year level. 

Last week we had a few students with a tummy bug and I reminded students at Assembly to wash their hands after going to the toilet and before they eat food.  The school is still being cleaned during the day so we should not be seeing too many viruses around.

The K’s, P’s, 2’s, 5’s and 6’s have all dropped attendance percentages.  Year 1 and year 3 students have maintained their attendance percentage and the awesome Year 4 students have gone up a percent.  Well done Year 4 students.  You are super stars!!

Remember every day counts and you need to be at school higher than 90% of the time or you will be missing important skills and concepts necessary for the following year.

Let’s get those percentages up over 90 again.

Parents, remember to send us notification as to why your child is absent so it can be recorded accurately on our system.

NAPLAN Testing

I am so proud of all the students in Year 3 and Year 5 who sat the NAPLAN tests.  You were all very well behaved, respected each other during testing and tried your hardest.  Well done everyone.  I think the change to using iPads made it easier for you to use and so you were more comfortable and excited to use the iPad.  A big thank you to Mr Ayres and Mr Stoneman, for being my Test Administrators and to everyone else, for being respectful during testing and walking quietly around the school.

Remember, NAPLAN is a one off test that only looks at how well you do on the day.  Your teacher has a more detailed knowledge of your ability. Hopefully we will receive results soon and parents will be given a pamphlet with your results.

Walk to School Day

Well done to all those students who walked to school last Friday.  Walking is a very healthy activity to do and it also helps keep your mind happy too.  I hope you liked your special tattoo and had fun walking with your friends and family.  Walking to school every day gets you physically and mentally ready for the day.

Life Education will be at our school in Week 6/7.  Life Education is working with schools to deliver a curriculum-based program that empowers children to make safe and healthy lifestyle choices.  The program features a range of age-appropriate modules that complement the Australian curriculum and cover issues such as; healthy eating, physical activity, positive communication, relationships, problem solving, resilience, smoking, alcohol, drugs, medicines, bullying, cyber-safety and physical safety.  Please see the attached timetable so you are aware of when your child’s class will visit the Life Ed Learning Centre (on school premise).

“There will be no cost to parents for this incursion.  Although there is a cost of $9 per student the school considers this incursion to be highly important and will cover the cost for all students to attend.”

Bedwetting, or nocturnal enuresis, is very common in children.   Bedwetting has nothing to do with dreaming, and children who wet the bed are not “just being lazy”.  If your child wets the bed, there are a number of things you can do to help, such as using a waterproof mattress cover and establishing a before-bed toilet routine.  It is not helpful to punish children who wet the bed. Fluids should not be restricted, even before bedtime. Sugary or caffeinated drinks should be avoided.   If your child is still wetting the bed after five and a half years of age, seek help through a referral by your local doctor.  A bedwetting alarm is an effective and safe method of treatment available for nocturnal enuresis and may be appropriate for your child.  Contact your local Community Health Nurse or Community Health Centre, for more information.
