SAS Staff Recognition Week

This week, all NSW Public Schools recognise our School Administrative Support Staff, or SAS Staff. At

Chertsey, we are very lucky to have a wonderful team that support all of our students, parents and teaching

staff. Our staff include our School Administrative Officers (SAOs), School Administrative Managers (SAMs),

School Learning Support Officers (SLSOs), Chaplain, General Assistant (G.A.), Canteen Supervisor and School

Cleaners. Without these amazing group of people, Chertsey just wouldn’t be the same. I would like to thank the

wonderful SASS team who make Chertsey Primary School the supportive school that it is.



School Improvement Plan (SIP) During this term parents will receive opportunities to provide feedback about various aspects of the school. You will also have the opportunity to provide ideas moving forward towards our new Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) that will be released during Term 1, 2021. This is part of the School Excellence Cycle to continually drive improvement and excellence in schools. The SIP will take the place of the current three year school plan that concludes this year.

Schools engage in all aspects of a School Excellence cycle. This includes developing a SIP in consultation with their community (students, staff and parents). The SIP has up to three strategic directions and associated improvement measures which form the basis of each planning cycle. One of these strategic directions will be ‘Student growth and attainment’ for all schools. The remaining two strategic directions are chosen by each school to reflect and respond to their unique context.

The first stage of completing our SIP is to complete a situational analysis. The situational analysis is an authentic and rigorous assessment of our school’s current state and is used to inform our school’s improvement journey in learning, teaching and leading. Conducting a situational analysis allows our school to develop a rich and highly contextualised understanding of our school’s current situation.

To help us gather community feedback we are asking our families to complete a survey/s. Please keep your eyes open for the survey/s via each family’s email account, School Stream app and we will also add it to our school Facebook page. We need your voice to formulate our next four year vision. Please take your time and play an active part in where we can progress to as a wonderful school community.

Class Article

"4/5W has been a happy and busy class this year. We have welcomed two new students, Tyler (who was at

Chertsey a few years ago and has returned because he loves it) and Zayden. Both have settled in well with help

from our lovely class. In science we have been studying Life Cycles. We have been learning to write information

reports which is followed up in library with Mrs Darwin where they are using their research and reporting skills to

create a project on an animal of their choice. We recently created some art showing different perspectives on

Uluru. It is amazing how many different interpretations the class came up with. We are currently developing

crayon and paint-wash platypuses for a Book week mural. You will see pictures of this on Seesaw when it is

finished. 4/5W particularly enjoys going out for our 20 minute fitness time, three days a week. Favourite cardio

games are 'golden child' and 'hand soccer'. The third session is a tabloid of cardio/stretch and strengthening

exercises to their favourite music. We are all looking forward to the time when school returns to normal and we

can see some parents inside the school, helping in the classroom. In the meantime, stay safe. Kind regards,

Anne Whitty 4/5W"



Be Respectful

• Walk quietly and calmly when transitioning around the school during the day.

• Walk quietly and calmly straight to your parents and carers at the end of the day when the bell rings.

• Listen to and follow instructions from supervising teachers on the front and back gates before and

after school.

Be Responsible

• Be in the right place at the right time. Walk directly to where you need to be.

• Walk quietly in designated areas. The pathway going past K-6A is closed for transitions.

• Wait and walk across the walking zone with a teacher or parent. Do not cross the road at any other

zone, it is not safe!

• Wait and walk calmly up around the cul de sac when leaving school via the back gate. Do not cross

over the road, it is not safe!

Be Your Best

• Listen to teacher instructions about how to transition around the school.

• Stay on the pathways to keep you safe and our grass and gardens neat.

• Sit quietly and calmly on the front office silver seats and wait for the supervising teacher before the

morning bell.

We would love for you to continue these discussions at home so our students can continue to follow

and practise our PBL values during daily transitions with pride and success.
