Dear Families and Friends
Representing our school with pride
It is important to remember that whenever we go to sporting events, high school visits, swimming lessons, camps or are just out and about in the community, our students are expected to represent their school with pride. This is an important part of being RESPECTFUL. This expectation can be shown in many different ways, from wearing the correct uniform to being considerate of others in the community. The feeling we get when someone outside of our school says, “Wow! Those Dayboro kids are really well-mannered” or “I am really impressed with their behaviour”, is really encouraging and something to be celebrated.
A few ways you can encourage your child to represent their school with pride is:
- ensuring they are wearing the correct uniform and it’s neat and tidy;
- discussing behaviours that are appropriate when out in the community;
- role-playing scenarios of interactions with others; and
- talking positively with your child about their school experiences and encouraging them to talk and think positively about their school.
Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of your children and equip them with the skills to
BE RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTFUL, POSITIVE, PROUD, KIND, TOLERANT citizens.
Please remember that children are expected to wait in the CSA before School between 8:15am until the bell goes at 8:40am. The children are supervised during this time.
There should not be children playing on equipment or waiting outside classrooms before this time. A reminder that all mobile phones and Ipads should be put away in bags on entry and exiting the school. They should then be handed to the class teacher on arrival to class.
BUS BEHAVIOUR
It has come to our attention that some students have been behaving inappropriately on the buses. The bus driver has a very important job to do and that is to get our students safely home. They cannot be distracted by students that cannot control their own behaviours. Please talk to your students about appropriate behaviours on the bus such as sitting still, (not moving around) talking quietly to the person beside them (not shouting at others) and certainly keeping their hand and feet to themselves (not hitting or contacting others with objects). Please help to keep all our students safe by reinforcing with your students how important it is that the bus driver can concentrate and get our students to and from school safely.
NAPLAN
A reminder that Years 3 and 5 will be taking part in the annual NAPLAN Online assessments from Monday 17th March until Friday 21st March. Please try to ensure that students are on time especially during this period and also please limit outside appointments during school time and planned absences if possible.
Playgroup is on every Friday morning. 9am starting at the Helping Hands house. Come along and join in the fun!
Year 2 and 4 Swimming
A reminder that because swimming for Years 2 and 4 was cancelled last week. They will now be swimming in Week 9 as well. Thursday 27th March and Friday 28th March will now be swimming days as well.
Thank you Mrs Ryan!
