At White Hills Primary School we provide students with
skills to be lifelong learners. We are a community which
caters for academic, physical, social and emotional needs,
preparing our students to contribute productively to an
increasingly globalised world.
Parent Opinion Survey: Random Sample
The use of opinion data as a measure of school performance
is a very important step towards making our school the best
it can possibly be.
The Department of Education requires all schools to
conduct annual and anonymous opinion surveys for staff,
students and parents. We use this information to inform and
direct our plans for school improvement.
As in previous years, the Department of Education selects a
random sample of parents to complete a survey.
Next Monday, 28th July randomly selected families will
receive the Parent Opinion Survey. If you receive a survey,
could you please complete and return it in the sealed
envelope to the office before next Friday, 1st August.
Walkathon: Thursday, 7 August
th
The school Walkathon will be held next Thursday, 7 th
August and is one of our major fundraisers for 2014.
Information and sponsorship forms have been distributed to
families this week. Children are encouraged to collect
donations/sponsorships leading up to the day. Children will
be able to order a Subway lunch and order forms will also
be sent home. Subway lunch orders will close on Friday, 1 st
August by 9.30am and no late orders will be accepted.
5T (Trewartha) Student Led Conferences
Postponed
Due to unexpected circumstances, Mr Trevor Trewartha is
away this week, and most likely next week as well.
Student Led Conferences that had been organised for
this Friday and next Wednesday have been postponed.
5T parents will be advised of an alternative date and time
when Trevor returns.
A note was sent home to all 5/T families yesterday.
Chocolates Due Back Tomorrow
Chocolate money is due back tomorrow Friday, 25 th July.
See Parent Club News below for further details.
Wet Clothing: Parents Phoned
With the spate of wet weather, there are areas of the school
yard that are quite damp. Classroom teachers remind
children to stay away from puddles and wet areas. We have
cordoned off certain areas and duty teachers are keeping
children away from these spots. The office stock of
clothing is limited and is not for the purpose of changing
children who are wet and muddy. If your child is wet or
muddy we will phone you to bring dry clothes to the school.
We appreciate your support in encouraging your children to
stay dry at school.
Educational Maintenance Allowance: 2nd Instalment
Eligibility date for the 2nd instalment of EMA is from Monday, 14th July. New parents to the school who are eligible, and existing
parents who have now become eligible who weren’t at the beginning of the year, will need to apply before Friday, 1st August
2014. Application forms are available from the office.
Please supply a copy of your healthcare card and driver’s licence with your completed application form.
If you are no longer eligible for EMA please contact the office so that the EMA system can be updated.
Gym Program
Gym notes have been sent home to parents last week. Gym starts Monday 25th August. Payment of $28.00 is due by Wednesday,
20th August.
Transition
Prep teachers will be visiting pre-schools to get to know the children enrolled at our school for 2015. If you have not yet completed
your enrolment form we ask that it be returned to the school office as soon as possible so that your child can be visited. Parents or
older siblings can pick up enrolment forms from the school office or Mrs Ellis.
School Nurse Visit
Our School Nurse, Leona Evans, will be visiting our school over three weeks from Monday, 18th August. Leona will offer vision
and hearing tests for Prep children if requested by parents. This service is free and we encourage all parents to consider having their
child’s vision tested as each year at least 2 children have been assessed as needing glasses. Parents can request to attend the
assessment or make an appointment with Leona to discuss any queries they may have about their child’s health, development or
behaviour. Even if you don’t wish your child to be seen by the School Nurse, the form sent home this week must signed and
returned to your child’s classroom teacher. All forms for the School Nurse must be returned to school by Friday 1 st August.
If you have misplaced your form please see Mrs Ellis for another.
Parents with children in other grades can also ask for sight and hearing assessments for their child during this time. Please see
Mrs Ellis for further information
Keeping Kids Safe Part 2
From an article from "Parenthood" by Robin Barker.
Using the Internet.
Internet safety is now a major concern, particularly the possibility of children being lured and groomed by paedophiles on the
internet. Other safety issues include cyber-bullying, children posting unsuitable personal images and giving out identifiable
information to strangers. Here is an internet safety checklist from NetAlert.
*Talk to your family about the importance of staying safe online and the need to have an internet safety plan at home.*Keep the
computer in a public area of the house so it's easier for you to supervise. * Make sure you have safety software installed on your
computer .NetAlert can give you advise on what to choose. *Discuss the benefits and risks of going online with our children and
reassure them that you're there to help if they get into trouble. *Create an internet-safety contract with your children and set up
house rules for internet use. Teach your children to make the right decisions and increase their responsibility levels as they get older.
Getting Ready For School Nights
Our popular Getting Ready for School Nights will be
held on Tuesday, 29th July (Maths and Social) and
Tuesday, 5th August (Language). These nights are
designed to assist parents of children who start school
next year to prepare their child for school. The nights
run from 6.30pm-7.30pm in the Grade 6 rooms, with
childcare being available both nights in the Prep
rooms. Further information concerning these nights
can be obtained from Mrs Ellis.
Lost Property
There is a large amount of lost property in the box
located near the office. Most of these are unnamed.
Please make sure all items of clothing are clearly
named, especially jackets, as the students tend to take
them off whilst playing outside. If unnamed items are
left in the lost property box for more than 4 weeks,
they will be given to the sickbay or charity.
Canteen: No Slushies
During colder weather slushies will not be available in
the canteen until further notice.
Congratulations to our birthday children
It’s Not Okay to be Away
Children should attend school every day unless they are ill or have a valid reason for being away. For example, a child’s birthday is
not a reason for being away from school. Studies show that children with more than 20 days of absence in a school year are
seriously at risk in their learning. They miss so much work and are not able to keep up with their peers!
If your child is absent for more than a day, please call the school and advise the classroom teacher of the reason. Our school’s
policy is for the classroom teacher to phone the parent after more than one day of unexplained absence. When your child returns to
school, please send them with a signed written note, explaining the reason for the period of absence.
Your support with regular attendance is appreciated.
Mr Damien Jenkyn
Principal
Alison Byron - Wellbeing Officer
Hi, I’m Alison Byron and I’m the Wellbeing Officer at White Hills Primary School. My role is to ensure the
students feel safe and happy within their life, which then allows the students to do their very best in class. I
work with individuals and small groups of students on many facets of life such as social skills, protective
behaviours, study skills, understanding feelings, dealing with conflict, bullying and challenging behaviours,
just to name a few. I also assist teachers and families with strategies for individual students. I am very
passionate about working as a team to get success for our children. I have a long history in primary teaching as
well as teaching children with intellectual disabilities and children on the Autism Spectrum.
The days I work are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If you would like to have a confidential discussion
with me, please ring me at school on 54430799 on one of these days to make an appointment.
Music / Drama News
Choir
The choir is continuing to meet on Mondays at 3.00pm and we are working on a program of new and known songs for our next
concert. It is planned to have the choir visit an aged facility late in Term 3 and perform for the residents. I will be sending home
permission notices soon and these will need to be returned to school ASAP. We will also require some parent helpers to help with
supervision on the day.
Drum, Keyboard And Singing Lessons
There are still positions available for lessons in drums, keyboard and singing. If you wish to have your child begin lessons, the costs
are approximately $18 – $20 for a half hour lesson and a note should be sent to the office with music lessons written on the front.
Lessons are taken by professional teachers on either Tuesday or Friday. Please note, if there is sufficient interest then singing
lessons will commence term 3.

Prep News
Shoes for Junior School Children
With the wet weather, in an attempt to protect our carpets, children with muddy shoes have been removing their shoes when they
come to school, after recess and lunch times and placing them on a trolley near the door. This requires teachers to tie children’s
shoelaces several times a day. If your child is unable to tie their own laces and you need to buy them new shoes please consider
purchasing pull on boots or shoes with velcro that your child can put on and take off by him or herself. Please name all shoes.
Term 3 Integrated Unit
Our Term 3 unit of work will focus on Indigenous Australians and the importance of Australian animals in their culture. You may
like to look for books, pictures, DVDs or information on the Internet about Indigenous Australians and Australian animals and bring
them along to school to share with us.
Prep Excursion To Ballarat Wildlife Park
As part of our study of Indigenous Australians and Australian animals we will be visiting the Ballarat Wildlife Park on Thursday,
14th August. The bus will leave school promptly at 8.30am and return to school at approx. 4.00pm. Children will need to be at
school by 8.10am on this day. As the cost of our major excursion is not covered by the pre-payment of minor excursions, the total
cost of our Ballarat excursion for all Preps will be $34.00. In line with our school excursion policy, this excursion must be paid for
by Monday, 11th August. Late payments will not be accepted. Please do not send any money until the full details are sent home.
This excursion, as with our camping program, is designed to develop independence and resilience in our children. A permission form
with final details will be sent home towards the end of July. Four parents will be able to assist us on this day and children will not be
placed in a group with their parent. Under DEECD regulations no toddlers will be able to come on this excursion. Parents interested
in attending are asked to see a Prep teacher. Parents coming must have a Working with Children Card. The form for this can be
obtained from the Bendigo Central Post Office and costs approx $10 for a photo. A volunteer can commence work in a school when
they provide a receipt as proof they have applied for a Working with Children Check with the Department of Justice. This card is
valid for 5 years, transferable between volunteer organisations and free of charge for volunteers, but cannot be used for paid
employment. For further information please see Mrs Ellis.
Language Hint For The Week
When you are reading your child a bed time story ask questions about the book you are reading like“What can you tell me about the story from the picture?”
“What do you think will happen in the story?”

Girls Footy
On Tuesday, 18 grade six girls made the trip out to
Junortoun to play football. As the day progressed it was
great to see the girl’s skill develop. The girls mastered the
art of tackling and from their faces they thought it was the
best part of football. We won 2 games for the day and only
losing the other games by a couple of points. Lily B
kicked our only goal for the day. It was excellent to see the
girls conduct themselves with great enthusiasm and
sportsmanship in all games. Just a reminder that if any
girls wish to further the football skills the Bendigo
Women’s Football League are conducting a free come and
try five week program starting on Friday 25th July.

behaviour and attitude on the day. It was a pleasure to
attend the carnival with these boys. All of the boys played
well as a team, helping each other out and working well to
achieve excellent results. We had 5 wins and two losses
on the day, losing to eventual finalist St Therese’s and St
Francis. Wins were against Spring Gully, St Monica’s, St
Joseph’s, Strathfieldsaye and Kennington. Ethan A, Dylan E, Jackson G and Fletcher W each had some stand out games. All

Irlen Syndrome is a perceptual problem that prevents an estimated 10 – 15% of the population from being able to
read and learn efficiently. Individuals with Irlen perceive the printed page and sometimes their environment
differently. Irlen tinted filters worn as glasses or coloured overlays, reduce or eliminate perceptual difficulties
and light sensitivity
Do you have a student or a child that:
 Has difficulty reading print, numbers or musical notes?
 Has the print on the page shift, shake, blur, move, double or disappear?
 Has trouble reading letters, numbers or musical notes or words in groups?
 Has trouble judging distance accurately or depth accurately?
Find out how the Irlen method may help them to improve their reading accuracy, comprehension and speed.
When: Tuesday, 12th August Time: Arrive 7:00pm for a 7:15pm start. Finish 9.30 pm
Where: Salvation Army Hall, Gravel Hill Centre;
