‘The Ode of Remembrance’
was the focus and was by
all accounts very well received.
Thankyou Margaret ~ (Please see photos inside)

According to adolescent psychologist, Andrew Fuller, resiliency is the happy knack of being able to bungy
jump through the pitfalls of life.
The resilient child has:
 Social competence
 Problem-solving skills
 Autonomy
 A sense of purpose and future
Chris’ presentation provides practical strategies to assist parents to help their children develop these characteristics
This highly interactive and engaging presentation will provide an overview of the recent research in the area of
resilience. It will provide an opportunity to identify and learn about the positive factors that build resilience. It will
enable parents to consider ways of increasing and maximizing the protective factors for children and adolescents.
Chris is a highly sought after, dynamic and engaging presenter. She is a Training & Development Consultant with a
background in teaching and social work. She is currently actively involved in the tertiary sector, teaching students in
the Bachelor of Social Work and the Graduate Diploma of Student Welfare at Melbourne University.
Childcare will be available for those who need it during the session for a small fee
(children must be over 4 years or older) Booking is imperative as this can only be provided
if there is enough demand.
Please return to the expression of interest to the office or with your child by
Friday 8th May

LOST PROPERTY
Lost Property
Given the blast of winter weather lost property is
now overflowing with jumpers and jackets which get
shed as children warm up during the day. It seems
that given the sudden cold snap that many families
have not had a chance to label their winter clothing.
Please either use an iron on label or alternately a
pen or better still laundry marker to write your
child's name on the label. All labelled items are
returned through the front office to its child.

PARENTS AS TEACHER HELPERS 2015
TWO MORE TRAINING SESSION TIMES
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 Four – Tuesday 5th May at 9:15 am
Session Five – Thursday 7th May at 3:00 pm
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 4h April 2015.
Thank you,
Linda Ratcliffe

LATE BOOKINGS AND LATE CANCELLATIONS REMINDER:
Just a reminder to families if your child is ill, or has a last minute
appointment/play date and will not be attending before or after school care on
any of their usual days, PLEASE ensure to contact us to let us know that they will
not be attending. Once all the children have signed on for aftercare (approx.
3.40pm), myself or Tanya then go through the roll and assess who we are still
missing. On average each night we have 10 children who have not signed in or
had prior notice of cancellation. We then have to check with the front office if
they were away for the day, or we check at the flag pole to see if perhaps they
have forgotten to sign on not knowing they are booked in. If we still haven’t
located them, we contact the parents/guardians. 9 out of 10 times we here
“sorry Darcy has a play date tonight” or “I have collected him early”. If
parents/guardians could please ensure to remember to notify OSHC BEFDRE
2pm on the day if possible to avoid being charged a late cancellation fee of $2
plus the actual cost of that session. If a minimum of 48 hrs notice or a medical
certificate is provided, then you will not incur these fees.
STAFFING UPDATE:
Over the past few weeks we have had some staffing changes in OSHC. Sadly
Liam and Annabel have both hung up their purple T-shirts and will no longer be
working in OSHC at NFPS due to University commitments. Both Liam and Annabel
are undertaking Masters in Teaching Degrees and are finding their schedules
pretty crazy with placement and lectures and therefore can no longer set aside
time to work at OSHC. Oliver has gained part time employment elsewhere which
fits in with his University commitments. We wish them all the best for the future
and thank them for their hard work and dedication during their time here at
NFPS OSHC. We welcome a new staff member, Zoe, who comes to us with a vast
experience working in OSHC. Zoe has a background in directing and performing
arts.
