Welcome back to Term 3 and a special welcome to the new families that have joined our school community. NAIDOC Week NAIDOC celebrations were held at the end of last term. Thank you to all staff, parents, community and students for your contribution in marking this very important event on the school calendar. Your efforts and participation made it a very valuable educational experience for all students. NAIDOC Week was celebrated nationally during the first week of the school holidays. An awards evening held during NAIDOC Week recognised Aboriginal people for the contribution they have made to their community and people. Congratulations to the following Mount Lockyer community members who were acknowledged for the contribution they have made: Mrs Treasy Woods Noongar Citizen of the Year Award Mrs Averil Dean Noongar Female Elder of the Year Award Mr Johnno Woods Noongar Volunteer of the Year Award Mrs Glenda Williams Noongar Arts Award Bill Woods Noongar Male Elder of the Year Walitj Aboriginal Corporation Noongar Organisation Award Transition to High School 2015 Last Friday a meeting was held to map out an action plan in preparation for the transition in 2015 of Year 7 students to high school. Very shortly families of students involved will receive an invitation to an information session. As mentioned in the last newsletter we will endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible ensuring all affected students will be provided with the opportunities and experiences that have historically been available to past Year 7 students. School Planning School planning for 2014 is already underway. To assist this process could any parents who know their children will not be attending our school next year please contact the office to advise us of this information. Additionally if you know of any families that are intending to enrol it would be appreciated if you could let us know. Attendance The attendance for weeks 7, 8 and 9 was extremely close for Year 4 and 7, however Year 4 just nudged ahead on 93%. Congratulations Year 4 students.

Jump Rope For Heart. Our Jump Off was held on the last day of Term 2. The weather was a little unkind with a heavy shower disrupting everyone enjoying a skip about half way through, however classes that could fit headed for the covered area and hall to continue skipping. Again I have been astounded by the support given by parents and the local community in supporting our Jump Off Day in terms of sponsorship. Over $2 300 has been raised for the Heart Foundation. A big thank you to the 36 children who took on the challenge to raise money by gaining sponsors and thank you to their parents for supporting them. This fantastic amount now takes the overall total of money raised by the Mount Lockyer Community over the years the school has been involved in the Jump Off to over $50 000. The Lockyer Leapers, who are our skipping ambassadors, travelled to Albany P.S. for a very successful demonstration last term and are going to Saint Josephs College next week and Flinders Park Primary School during Week 5.

School Fees A reminder to all parents that the Voluntary Contributions for 2013 are due. They are $40.00 per child attending Mount Lockyer Primary School.

Cross Country The Interschool Cross-Country was held at Yakamia Primary School. Thankfully the rain that threatened to fall all day never eventuated. It was a very technical course that the students had to complete, one with many turns and muddy climbs. Every student gave their best effort when racing, with several of them placing in the top ten. When not running, the students cheered on our other runners. Congratulations to all involved for displaying determination, kindness and reliability.

Parents of 4 year olds - Immunisations Children who have turned 4 years of age are scheduled to received 2 injections, MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) and DTP IPV (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, and Polio) vaccines. These are booster doses to ensure good levels of coverage against these life threatening diseases. These immunisations can now be given as early as 3.5 years of age. From 1 July 2012, families will need to have their children fully immunized or have an approved exemption to receive the Family Tax Benefit Part A end-of-year supplement. The supplement, worth $726 per child each year, will now only be paid once a child is fully immunised at one, two and five years of age, or has an approved exemption. This means that over the three immunisation check points, families will have an incentive of more than $2100. If your child still requires his/her immunisations please see your usual immunisation provider or alternatively you are welcome to make an appointment for our Tuesday / Thursday Population Health Immunisation Clinic in Albany. This is a free service, and appointments can be made by phoning 98427500. If you have any questions relating to immunisation please do not hesitate to contact me on the phone number below or by email.

MANAGING STUDENT BEHAVIOUR


The key to this approach is that the child is given a choice at each step to follow directions or face increased consequences. Students making GOOD CHOICES are acknowledged for their efforts. For students making POOR CHOICES the following consequences apply ~
STEP 1 Student refuses to follow directions. Verbal warning. STEP 2 Student still refuses to follow directionsIn-class consequence eg Time Out area. STEP 3 Student still refuses to follow directionsOut-of-class consequence eg Buddy Class. STEP 4 Student still refuses to follow directionsRED CARD is sent to the office. Parents will be requested to attend school. SUSPENSION Students will be immediately suspended for verbal abuse of staff and/or violence towards staff or students.

WHAT IS BULLYING? Bullying is when a student or group keep picking on another student. They try to hurt them physically or emotionally. The behaviour is deliberate and repeated. A fight or disagreement between equal students is not bullying. HOW TO STOP BULLYING Tell an adult, it is not dobbing to ask for help. Both victim and those bullying will be counselled and supported. Do not be a by-stander; if you witness bullying try to stop it or report it. IF YOU ARE BULLYING Step 1: Warning Step 2: In school isolation and counselling at recess and lunch, parents will be notified Step 3: For continued breaches students will be suspended.

RE-ENTRY FOLLOWING SUSPENSION Students returning from suspension must be accompanied by an adult and will attend the Intervention Centre (Room 20) where an Individual Behaviour Management Plan will be developed and implemented.
