2 This Welcome Back It is great to welcome everyone back to term 4! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday period with family and friends. This is an eleven week term, finishing on Friday December 22. The term includes one pupil free day on Monday November 6 and one public holiday Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday November 7. We have another busy term ahead of us with many wonderful things to look forward to including, swimming sessions, Prep sleepover and China Trip and Grade 6 Orientation Day to secondary school, Graduation, to name a few. Add to this planned curriculum, assessments and completion of reports, a number of excursions and the usual end of year celebrations and it will certainly be a busy time. Communications home and reminders about all of these along with information from particular grades and levels will take a number of forms. These will include Newsletter dates to remember Compass posts Notes home So please check school bags, read newsletters and Compass posts. Class Placements In our last newsletter an invitation was extended to parents to provide us with input regarding their child s educational needs for our consideration during the class student placement process. Any requests regarding your children being/not being placed with a particular student should be put in writing and submitted by Tuesday 24th October. Thank you to those parents who have already forwarded their requests. All staff are committed to meeting the educational needs of all students. Considerable thought, planning and time goes into placing children into classes. Every effort is made to place each child in a learning environment that is happy, productive and successful. Building and Grounds Update All going well the landscaping works will happen in early November. We are aware and have discussed with the project managers about possible disruption to the school but will be working hard to minimise these wherever possible. A reminder that the gates will be closed during this time and entry into the school will be via the front doors or the side gate near the water tanks. During the holidays, the shelter shed was repaired and painted. There is also a section that has been painted in chalk board paint for the children to CGPS News 2

3 House Mini-Olympics Next Thursday the 26/11/17 all students will be participating in a House Mini Olympics.

There are four houses at Carlton Gardens PS; Dare House (Purple) Rennick House (Red) Sergeant House (Green) Worthington House (Yellow) All students are allocated a house automatically upon enrolment. If you are unsure which house your child is in you can check on Compass or with your child s teacher. Students are asked to wear their house colour on the day. Please ensure students have their hat, water bottle and are wearing about footwear. Events will take place at school and across the road in the north west corner of Carlton Gardens.

Sunsmart A reminder to all families now that Term 4 has begun, all students will need to comply with the school s SunSmart policy, which consists of a combination of sun protection measures required whenever outdoors including: Students will be required to wear the school s close-weave broad brimmed hat. Sun protective clothing is included in our school uniform / dress code. Staff will act as role models by also wearing hats when outside. Students without approved hats or appropriate clothing will be required to remain in a designated shaded area. Parents will be encouraged to have their children apply water resistant sunscreen (SPF30+) in the morning before coming to school. Whenever possible on hot days, students will be kept inside. For more information about being SunSmart visit BYOD Information Night On Tuesday 24th October at 5:30pm we will be holding a BYOD information night for student going into Grade 3 in The night will cover purchasing an ipad, security, implementing parental restrictions, required apps and how they will be used in the classroom.
