WE ARE AT THE END TO AN AMAZING TERM
Term 1 has been a busy but rewarding time for me and I’d like to sincerely thank Everybody ~
All staff, students and the parent community for their support. A special Thankyou to Linda Ratcliffe
and also the admin staff who have been unstinting in their efforts. Thankyou!
It has been an amazing term with the usual array of sporting events, engaging learning opportunities for
the kids, open sessions for the parents, Harmony celebrations for everyone.
The Grade One /Two Concert was a triumph! (see inside for photos) What a wonderful testament to the
talents of your children and the skills of Shelly and the Grade One/Two teachers. Bravo!
Yesterday’s TREATS DAY run by the canteen crew was a HUGE success. One would think the kids had
never had a treat in their lives by the length of the lines. An impressive effort much appreciatedThank you to Jo, Georgia and their exhausted helpers.
It’s not over yet....Tomorrow we are all looking forward to donning our masks, capes and/or dress-ups
and celebrating together at the Carnevale Parade. Hope to see you there.

PARENTS AS TEACHER HELPERS 2015
Dear Parents,
One of the avenues for community involvement we offer parents is our “parents as teacher helpers”
program. Teacher helpers benefit all the students in a class by working with groups of students designated
by the teacher.
All teacher helpers are required to present a copy of a current Working with Children Check to the
school prior to helping out and attend a training session.
It is also a necessary requirement of the school that you read and sign a confidentiality agreement
each year.
If you are interested in participating in our “Parents as Teacher Helpers” program and have NOT previously
attended a training session, please select and attend one of the sessions listed below. These sessions are
designed to inform parents about the role of teacher helpers. The issues of privacy and confidentiality will
also be addressed.
All sessions will be held in the teacher space next to my office in the Junior Building at the following times.
Parents are asked to nominate to attend ONE of these sessions.
Each session will be of approximately 15 minutes in duration.
Session One – Tuesday 21st April at 9:15 am
Session Two – Thursday 23rd April at 3:00 pm
Session Three – Friday 24th April at 9:15 am
If you are interested in being a Teacher Helper and have NOT previously participated in a training session,
please complete the form below and return it to your child’s teacher by Monday 20th April 2015.
Parents who have attended a training session in previous years need only sign a Confidentiality
Statement. These will be available from my office between 9:00 - 9:30am during Week 3 (week
beginning 27th April) of Term 2.
Thank you,
Linda Ratcliffe

We are asking you to present a session (of approximately 40 minute’s duration) to students. The lesson you choose
to provide is entirely up to you. You may wish to talk to the students about the work you do and provide some visual
aids for the students to see first hand what it is all about, or you may decide to do a hands-on activity using scientific
equipment. The school can provide some science equipment if necessary. We also have a data projector for slide
shows and other computer-based visual aids.
The Parents as Scientists program will be running this year from Term 2. Any parent who is involved in science and
would like to host a session is welcome to join.
It is anticipated that the program will run as per previous years. Sessions will be held before school on Tuesdays
(8.00am to 8.40am) for a small group of Year 5/6 students.
Please return the completed form to school and we will contact you with further details.
Thank you ALL, for supporting our students in this program this year.

Raising sensitive kids
Michael Grose
Do you have a sensitive child?
You know, a child who takes everything you or others say to heart; a child who has a thin skin and worries too much,
particularly about things out of their control.
Sensitive kids worry about what others think of them. They often sense danger well before others and they see
the consequences of behaviours well before their peers.
Sensitive kids are like mood detectives with their antennae up trying to detect subtle changes in the moods of
those around them.
In some ways this is healthy as emotionally intelligent people are tuned into the behaviours and feelings of others.
Sensitive kids generally have high emotional intelligence quotients.
If you have a sensitive child you need to see and appreciate both their sides. The side we most often see is the shy,
inhibited, fearful worrier.
The flipside is that sensitive kids generally have kind hearts; are empathetic, intuitive and usually possess a
creative streak. These are wonderful attributes to have.
Recent research into the area of children's sensitivity revealed that around 40% of sensitive kids experience some
form of real anxiety.
The secret to the 60% of kids who DON'T experience anxiety are certain 'protective' factors.
The top of this list is parenting style. Sensitive kids benefit from having an optimistic, resilient parent who
supports them but doesn't allow them to take themselves too seriously.
It also helps if parents can encourage their child to take risks socially and applaud their social successes, no matter
how minor.
Parents need to show their child how to recognise their own emotional state and in doing so better manage their
emotions so they can live happy, more productive lives.
The double whammy for kids of sensitivity and negative or pessimistic parents is not ideal. Kids need a parent who
gets across the message that there are some unpleasant events but they can cope with them.
Parents need to recognise their own emotions and response in order to help their child recognise and regulate their
emotional state.
It is good if parents are supportive; even better if a parent is resilient so that the sensitive child sees how to cope
with some of life's hurts, rejections and disappointments.
In fact, sensitive kids are less likely to develop anxiety if at least one parent is of the 'thick-skinned', positive,
even jovial type. This reinforces that the world really is a great place and not full of uncertainty and danger.
When sensitive kids are raised in a balanced way with proper understanding and encouragement, they are wellplaced to grow up to be happy, healthy, unusually well-adjusted and creative adults.

LAST DAY OF TERM 1 AFTERCARE EARLY FINISH:
Friday March 27th is the last day of Term 1 and school will be finishing at 2.30pm
on this day; therefore aftercare will be operating from 2.30-5.30pm only on this
day. If your child no longer requires care on this day please ensure to cancel their
booking BEFORE Tuesday March 24th otherwise you will still be charged for this
session. Late pick up fees will apply as of 5.31pm via the aftercare clock at a fee of
$40.00 for every 5 min late per child so we would appreciate it if you would
ensure to collect your child BEFORE 5.30PM
ASSESSMENT RESULTS:
Last week we had an authorised officer from the Department of Education and
Early Childhood attend and observe our aftercare and morning care programs.
The aim of this assessment is to ensure we are offering families a service that
meets the Education and Care Services National Quality Frameworks and
Regulations. We will receive a written report of the outcome early next time with
our overall rating of the 7 Quality Areas. Watch this space 
TERM 2 KIDS CLUBS:
Next term we are excited by the return of Kids Club at aftercare. As of week 3
children in aftercare will have the opportunity to participate in such clubs as:
Football Club, Board Games Tournament, French Cooking Club, Scrap Book Club,
just to name a few. A brochure will be emailed to family’s first week back next
term and copies will be available from the round table at aftercare. Each club will
run 1 day a week for 8 weeks from 4pm to 5pm on that designated day. Further
details about each club are outlined in the Kids Club brochure so keep your eye
out for it next term.

Host Families Needed For New Exchange
Students in 2015
Many girls and boys aged between 15 and 18 from
exciting countries like Italy, France, Belgium,
Germany, Holland, Canada, Japan, Switzerland,
Brazil, Norway, Sweden, Argentina, Finland and
Austria are hoping to come here to study for 3, 5
or 10 months from July this year and stay with a
volunteer family that is willing to host and
welcome them and can afford an extra member at
the family table. If you feel you could do this for
them for the length of their stay or even some of
it, please contact Klaus Schumann on (03)
97584279 and let me know of your interest.
Yours sincerely,
Klaus Schumann, WEP Community Coordinator

FREE COMEDY
After the roaring success of my first comedy show: Mid Life...What Crisis?, at the Station 59 Festival in

Yes. Charting my life journey over the last five years through unemployment, Bangkok, stay-at-home dadding
and now to teaching, it's a rollicking ride. People other than me that have seen it even say it's funny and very
entertaining. Ooh la la!
