Welcome to week 10 from Cienna and Mason

Welcome to our week 10 Newsletter


Hi Carrum families,

We can't believe there is only one week left! How exciting, but also sad.
In our last few exciting weeks we have many things still to enjoy.

Last Thursday we had an open afternoon to showcase our learning, thanks to our families and other classes for visiting.

Last week our marine ambassadors were lucky enough to swim with some dolphins and see some seals and had a great day out.

We know the 1\2s enjoyed their mini beast incursion learning all about creatures and more. 
Our school also had an environment day that Ruby in year 6 organised for the whole school with different activities and prizes. Thanks to the leaders that worked hard wih her on this day

For an end of year celebration the year 5\6s  and their teachers went to the gravity zone which was so much fun! 

On Thursday we had an amazing Christmas concert and a big thank you to Miss Chivotti for all her hard work arranging that for us! The Christmas songs were spectactular!

Next Wednesday the year 6s also have their bike ride to Bicentennial park.

On Monday the 15th of December its' the grade 6 graduation which will be a sad but an exciting night for our year six parents and families.

It's so exciting that there is only one week left of school!! Soon the year sixes will be off to their high schools! How crazy is that? We know you will miss us!

This is also our last newsletter piece for the year, we hope you have enjoyed reading our front pages.

Fundraising-Boxxi kits

We're excited to be partnering with Boxxi for an exclusive school ordering program. Our wonderful Carrum PS families and community are being offered discounted pricing and free shipping on Boxxi Maths Kits - the perfect way to support numeracy skills through play.

Each kit includes 100+ hands-on maths resources and manipulatives, plus one full year of downloadable maths activities designed for primary school children. The activities take just 5-15 minutes and make it easy for families to support maths confidence at home.

For every 10 kits sold, our school will receive a free kit to use at school. Thanks for helping us build confidence in maths at CPS!

Orders can be placed through this compasstix link, and kits will be delivered to the school in late August/early September.

Please see the attached file for further information or reach out to Kathryn Kenner with any questions.

Wellbeing

 

To support the wellbeing of our students and teachers a friendly reminder on our procedures.

Visitor Procedures and Parent Enquiries

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students and staff, and to minimise disruption to teaching and learning, all parents and visitors are asked to adhere to the following procedures when visiting the school:

  • All visitors must report to the school office upon arrival for all enquiries and are required to sign in before entering the school grounds. Visitors must also sign out prior to leaving the premises.
  • Parents and visitors are requested not to approach teachers in classrooms, staffroom or on the playground during school hours. Teachers have a duty of care to supervise students and are engaged in teaching and learning responsibilities throughout the school day.
  • If you wish to speak with your child's teacher, please contact the school office to arrange an appointment. Meetings will be scheduled before or after school, or at another mutually convenient time, at the teacher's discretion.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in supporting our commitment to maintaining a safe, orderly, and respectful learning environment for all members of our school community.



Respectful school communities start with respectful behaviour

Parents, carers, staff and students can help keep our school community safe, supportive and respectful
 Good relationships are based on:
  • Open and honest communication
  • Trust and respect
  • Working together
  • Fair and reasonable expectations by all
These behaviours are not okay in our school community:
  • Threats
  • Violence
  • Rudeness
  • Harassment
  • Discriminatory and derogatory comments
  • Aggression
  • Intimidation
  • Threatening gestures

This includes in-person, over-the-phone, email, text message, social media and online.

For more information ask your school about the Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy.
