Dear Families and Friends

Bullying No Way!

What is bullying?

Bullying is when someone:

• keeps picking on you again and again and tries to make you feel bad
• says or does lots of mean things that upset you
• makes fun of you a lot
• tries to stop you from joining in or make others not like you
• keeps hurting you such as hitting or punching you.

Bullying feels awful. You feel like you can’t stop it.

Bullying can happen in person or online.

 It might be something people can see or it might be hidden.

Sometimes you might have a fight or argument with someone.

If it happens once, it is not bullying even though it can be upsetting.

It is also not bullying if you sometimes fight with a friend and you can sort it out.

Bullying is not OK. Every child has the right to feel safe.

NEW INFO 26/3/20: Another source of on-line activities has been sent through to us.  

Audible who are one of the biggest suppliers of Audio Books on-line (They used to be called Books on Tape, that’s how long they have been around) have made a great selection of Audio books available for streaming for free for as long as current corvid-19 situation continues. There are books for all year levels.  Use the link below:

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. This is especially important at this current time as we are not having Assemblies and important messages are being relayed in the CSA before students go to class.

 

Parents are reminded that dropping and picking up children in the bus zone is not permitted. That area is extremely busy and congested with buses coming and going and it is an important safety issue. We do not want any of our children getting hurt. Thank you for keeping our children safe.

Every morning before school we have had a small, enthusiastic group of Year 1,2 and 3 children who are working hard on their Gross Motor Skills like jumping, skipping, throwing and balancing.

Important: We have made the difficult decision to cancel PT Club for the next few weeks.

Thank you Mrs Ryan!

Our Vision: “To inspire students to reach their full potential in a safe, caring and educationally challenging environment.”
