Dear Parents and Caregivers, A very warm welcome to all our school community to the beginning of 2020 school year! It is great to see our students return with big smiles on their faces ready to embrace their learning and resume their friendships with their peers. I would also like to extend a very big welcome to all our Kindergarten students who started today, our new enrolments of students in Years 1 – 6 as well as all of our new parents and caregivers to our school community. I am sure you will find our school a fun, safe and nurturing environment for your child to learn. I hope the years ahead at Bankstown North Public School enable your child to achieve their personal best and leave our school as confident, well-educated individuals who will have received the very best that public education has to offer.

If at any time you wish to make an appointment to see either myself, a member of the executive or your child’s class teacher, please contact our school office and make an appointment. Principal Awards This week’s Principal Award recipients are:

• Levi W - 1Blue • Miguel B - 1Blue • Ali A - 1Red • Aina S - 1Red

Congratulations. These awards will be presented at the K-6 Assembly to be held on Thursday 6 February. Parents are welcome to attend.

2020 Classes and Teachers Currently we have 14 classes this year at Bankstown North Public School, however this may change depending on a number of factors including class size and dynamics, as well as mixed ability levels. As we still have new enrolment enquiries, classes will be looked at next week and class names and teachers will be advised in the following newsletter.

Coronavirus There has been much concern over the reports of Coronavirus and we have endeavoured to keep families updated via notes home, on our Facebook page and website. A note is also attached to this newsletter from the Department of Education dated 2 February. The health of students and staff is our number one priority so the Department is working with NSW Health to monitor and respond to the unfolding international Novel Coronavirus situation. The NSW Government has requested that children, students and staff who have visited China in the last two weeks not attend school, childcare services or work until 14 days have lapsed from their date of departure from China. The following is a link with all updated information from Department of Education. https://education.nsw.gov.au/news/latest-news/coronavirus-department-of-education-statement?fbclid=IwAR2OYt1a7IBKzIcp0dChcXsqO6FGYA95hyy0k55n9EjGdCMKTnQGrB3jShg

This is a time for general information and not an interview regarding your child. 2020 Captains and Prefects We have pleasure in announcing our 2020 Captains and Prefects.

Newsletter The main source for parents to get information about our school is our fortnightly newsletter. This will be published on a Wednesday of an even week of term, on our Parent Sentral App. If you have not already done so, please download the app and you will receive a push notification once the newsletter has been uploaded. Playgroup Our parent/caregiver run weekly playgroup will be held on Monday mornings from 9-11am in our school hall. We are looking for additional volunteers to help with this important community outreach. If you can help, please contact playgroup co-ordinator Mrs Zeina Harrouk on 0420 264 538 for further information. Annual School Contribution Fee Bankstown North Public School’s Annual Contribution fee is used to purchase necessary teaching and learning resources for your child’s classroom. The contribution fee is $44 for a single child or $83 for a family of 2 or more. I understand that families face additional expenses at the beginning of the school year; however, I consider the amounts to be both fair and reasonable. If any parent or caregiver is experiencing difficulty in making the payment, please make an appointment to see me through our school office. Technology Fee The school is requesting that parents and caregivers pay a Technology Fee of $25 to assist us making annual subscription payments for programs such as Mathspace, Mathseeds and Literacy Planet. It also helps to cover the cost of general wear and tear of hardware used in the classroom. The fee is also used to assist the school in purchasing computer programs and licences which are used by all K-6 teachers to assist students with their learning. In addition to this fee, all students and parents must acknowledge ‘Bankstown North Public School Information and Communication Technologies Acceptable Use Policy’ and return a signed copy of the ‘ICT Code of Conduct’ to the office by Friday 21 February. Please look out for these important notes in your child’s school bag. Your prompt payment of the above fees is appreciated. P&C AGM Our next P&C Annual General Meeting (AGM) followed by a P&C meeting is on Friday 28 February 2019 at 9.15am in the Staffroom. It is important that as many parents and caregivers attend this meeting so that we have a good representation of our school community

present. As it will be an AGM, we will be filling the following positions: P&C President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer

If you are interested in taking up one of these positions, I encourage you to come along and express an interest. Kindergarten Times and Arrangements We welcome our new Kindergarten’s to their first day of school. Please take note of the following to make your child’s transition into Kindergarten as smooth as possible. MORNING DROP OFF Before the 9.00am morning please, please walk your child to the school toilets. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS ASSIST US IN TRAINING THE NEW KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

TO USE THE TOILET SHORTLY BEFORE CLASS TIME BEGINS!

On the first day, New Kindy’s will meet under the COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) at 9.15am where they will meet their teacher. They will need to meet their teacher in their classroom at 9.00am on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th February. They will practise lining up with their teacher on Thursday and Friday this week. • New Kindy’s will up under the COLA (Covered Out-

door Learning Area) from Week 3 (Monday 10 February).

AFTERNOON PICK UP • All children to be picked up from their classroom at

3.00pm on Wednesday 5, Thursday 6 and Friday 7 February.

• Pickup under the COLA at 3.00pm from Week 3 (Monday 10 February onwards).

• We encourage all families to make arrangements for their Kindergarten child to be personally picked up by an adult.

• Please plan where you are going to park as parents will not be able to park on school grounds or in the cul-de-sac (Beresford Road).

• Many of our parents have found it practical to park across the road in Jacobs Street and cross the Hume Highway on foot to collect their child/children.

Bankstown North Public School Annual Swimming Carnival Our school swimming carnival for Years 1-6 will be held on Monday 17 February (Week 4) at Whitlam Leisure Centure (Memorial Ave, Liverpool) Information and permission notes were sent home this week. If you require a copy after it has been sent home, please look on our website under Notes to Parents. Please see Mr Formica if you require more details, or are able to assist staff on the day. Music Bus Music Bus lessons re-commenced lthis week for 2020. The Music Bus provides our students with the weekly opportunity to learn a musical instrument e.g. keyboard, drums, guitar, ukulele or, participate in singing lessons at very reasonable cost. I cordially invite all our parents and caregivers wishing to enrol their child to visit the following website: www.themusicbus.com.au or phone 1300 168 742. The Music Bus is a wonderful music program that many of our students are already enjoying – a brilliant and cost-effective way for students to get fun and specialist music lessons without parents having to travel all over the area after school. Cost of lessons is only $16 per week (Drums $18). If you’re interested in your child having music lessons through The Music Bus, check out their website at www.themusicbus.com.au or call 1300 168 742. Our School Canteen Staff Our school canteen is managed by Ms Marissa Saad. Marissa and her team are very approachable and are very welcoming of any ideas or suggestions you may have.

I encourage all parents and caregivers to utilise the canteen facilities when possible remembering that lunch orders should be placed before the morning bell rings at 9.00am. Children who are in line to order their lunch at this

time will be served first, as they should be at morning lines so that they listen to important teacher messages. So that children are not late for morning lines parents and caregivers need to ensure that children arrive at school by 8.30am (not before as there is no teacher supervision). By doing so children have plenty of time to order their lunch and/or have a healthy breakfast (also available from the canteen) as well as play with their friends before the bell rings. Your cooperation with these matters is appreciated. Attached to this newsletter is the school canteen menu and Daily Specials. School Weeks Q: Why does the school use ‘week 6’ instead of dates? A: We find it useful for planning each term. Here are the actual dates for the rest of this term for public schools in NSW: Term 1

Week 3 - 10 February Week 4 - 17 February Week 5 - 24 February Week 6 - 2 March Week 7 - 9 March Week 8 - 16 March Week 9 - 23 March Week 10 - 30 March Week 11 - 6 April

School Uniform We strongly encourage all students to wear our school uniform and demonstrate a belonging to our school and it is expected that ALL students will be correctly dressed in the new uniform in 2020. This also includes hats and correct shoes.

Yeronga Uniforms 900 Canterbury Road, Roselands

(between Flora and Remly Streets) Ph: 9759 1555

A reminder that Bankstown North Public School is a uniform school and that BLACK LEATHER SCHOOL SHOES are the correct school uniform footwear. This type of footwear not only protects the children’s feet but raises the standard of dress of our students. For this purpose, black leather shoes are required footwear for all our students under our current school uniform policy.

DON’T FORGET TO LABEL YOUR CHILDS BELONGINGS

You can: • use a permanent laundry marker to label

clothes, hats and shoes, or sew or iron on personalised labels

• go through your child’s bag with them each night

• check that labels haven’t faded with washing • if something doesn’t come home, check the lost

property bin located in the staffroom building No Hat No Play

All students need to bring their school uniform hat every day to wear at recess and lunch and during sport. Any child who does not have a school uniform hat MUST sit in the COLA area under the shade. Parents and carers please check that your child has a school uniform hat labelled with their name. If they do not,

please purchase one from the school office for $16.00. As part of our School Uniform Policy, children are not permitted to wear a non-school uniform hat! Any child who wears a non-school uniform hat will be asked to remove it until a school uniform hat is purchased. P&C Breakfast Club Ms Lisa Lofthouse (P&C Treasurer) is continuing the morning Breakfast Club starting at 8.30am five days a week. A variety of food as well as healthy milk is being served free of charge. To help them provide this service, the P&C is asking for donations of the following:

• rice crackers • jatz • tasty cheese (sliced, block and sticks) • small tubs of fruit flavoured yogurt • long life milk • paper towls and teaspons

Lisa is also looking for volunteers to help serve the breakfast from 8.30-9.00am. If you are able to help, please contact her on 0408 200 787 for further information.

School Opal Card A School Opal card is available for public transport travel between home and school. Students who were issued a School Opal card last year should have automatically received a new School Opal card for 2020. Students who require a School Opal card this year will need to make an application online at.

transportnsw.info/school-students

Once the application is completed, please print, sign and date the application, then submit it to the school office for endorsement. The school will then send the form to Transport for NSW. Once approved, the School Opal card will be sent to the address on the application. To be eligible, the following distance applies:

• Years K-2 (Infants) There’s no minimum distance

• Years 3-6 (Primary) 1.6km straight line distance or 2.3km walking

Parents/Caregivers Visiting The School ALL parents and caregivers are requested when visiting the school during school hours, to sign the visitor’s book located in the school office and wear a visitor’s badge. Parents and caregivers will be directed by school staff to do so if they are in the school grounds without having complied with our regulation. The primary purpose of this exercise is Safety! Firstly, we are aware of who is in our school for the safety and wellbeing of all our students, and secondly, it will enable us to determine who is in the school should we need to implement our evacuation or lockdown procedures. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter. Dropping Students Off Before 8.30am A number of our parents and caregivers are dropping their children at school BEFORE 8.30am. This is a safety concern for your child as there is NO TEACHER SUPERVISION BEFORE 8.30am. Parents and caregivers are therefore required to use our Before and After School Care facility for this purpose. If you require information regarding this service, please see our school office staff. In the interest of student safety, I will be contacting parents and caregivers who continue to abuse this important safety request. Are Your Details Up To Date? Please ensure you advise the school office if there is any change in your contact details (ie: address, mobile or home phone, email, emergency contacts). Often we are unable to contact parents due to not having the most up-to-date contact information.

Bell Times A reminder that the bell times for lunch and recess are as follows:

LUNCH 10.50 - 11.00am (eating time) 11.00 - 11.40am (play time)

RECESS

1.40 – 2.00pm

Equipment List We have included an equipment classroom list at the end of the newsletter. It is a fact that children with their own classroom equipment work more independently. Please note that these items must be replenished throughout the year as needed. We appreciate your response to this. Smoking Parents please be advised that smoking is not permitted in the vicinity of the school gates. If you want to smoke you will need to cross the road Health Care Plans We welcome information from parents about your child’s health, even if you are not requesting specific support from our school. Our school asks for medical information when you enrol your child. It is also important that you let us know if your child’s health care needs change or if a new health condition develops. This is particularly relevant if your child suffers from asthma. Information about allergies, medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes and other health care related issues (including prior conditions such as medical procedures in the last 12 months) should be provided to the school by parents. Please provide this information in writing to the principal. This will greatly assist our school in planning support for your child’s health and wellbeing. Please also remember to notify staff in the school office of any changes to your contact details or to the contact details of other people mentioned as emergency contacts. We appreciate your assistance in this regard and assure you that any information you provide the school will be stored securely and will only be used or disclosed in order to support your son or daughter’s health needs or as otherwise required by law. Medication If your child needs to take medication, please bring it to the office and fill out the necessary authorisation for its administration. Under no circumstances are children permitted to have any form of medication in the classroom or in their school bags.

Make School Aware Any changes to your child's family situation can impact on their emotional and academic well-being. Inform your child's teacher and principal about any changed circumstances so that the child can be supported if necessary. Examples of special circumstances include the birth of a sibling, divorce or the death of a loved one.

If Your Child Is Absent From School If your child has to be absent from school for any reason, please tell your child's teacher or send a signed note explaining the reason for the absence within seven days. You can also fill in through the Parent Sentral App.

Late Arrivals Children who arrive at school after the morning assembly must go to the office and collect a late note. If this is not done, then they will be marked absent for the whole day as the front office staff amend the class roll not the teacher. Please do not accompany your child to their classroom if they arrive late as this tends to unsettle the classes and interrupt valuable learning time. Children should proceed to class themselves. Any messages may be left with our office staff, who will pass them on to the teachers at the next break time.

Mobile Phones If you deem it necessary for your child to bring to school a mobile phone, they must sign it in at the office before school and collect it when school is dismissed.

Whole School Assembly Our fortnightly formal whole school assemblies will be held on a Thursday afternoon (even weeks) from 2.00-3.00pm in our school hall. The assembly will coincide with Newsletter week - therefore students who will be receiving Principal Awards or other significant awards at the assembly, will have their names published in the School Newsletter enabling you advanced notice and the opportunity to attend the assembly.

Our first assembly for 2020 will be held on Thursday 6 February from 2.00-3.00pm and will

include Years 1-6 only. Kindergarten children will join us at the next assembly.

Your attendance at our assemblies is always welcome! Thank you for your continued support. Jon Godwin – Principal PSSA Summer PSSA for students in Years 3-6 will commence on Friday 21 February. Permission notes and Code of Conduct notes will be sent home with all students selected in a team. Please read through these notes with your child.

The permission note and both Code of Conduct notes must be returned to school prior to sport starting. Without the return of these notes your child will not be able to participate. 2020 School Terms Parents and teachers both get concerned when students fall behind in their studies because of long absences. Families who travel are encouraged to do so during school holidays. Parents are reminded that they must seek permission from the Principal to take a student out of school during term time. If you are planning to take your child out of school during term time, please see the front office as forms may need to be completed for your child’s period of absence. To assist in planning your holidays, please find listed the school terms for this year.

Term 1 Tuesday 28 January to Friday 10 April

Term 2 Monday 27 April to Friday 3 July

Term 3 Monday 20 July to Friday 25 September

Term 4 Monday 12 October to Friday 18 December

School Development Days occur on the first day of Terms 1, 2 & 3 and the last two days of Term 4.

RULES

1. Be Responsible

2. Be Considerate

3. Be Honest Please go over these with your children

Student Pick Up Arrangements Please notify the office on 9709 5506 if there are any changes to your child’s after school pick up arrangements so this information can be passed on to their class teacher. This will help ensure the safety and well-being of all students.

If you are going to be late picking your child up it is also important that you contact the school prior to the 3.00pm bell so that your child can be found and notified. Important News It is important that parents/carers carefully read all notes that are sent home. Teachers put a great deal of thought into all notes and therefore we ask that you read them thoroughly and contact the school if you need help understanding them. All permission notes for excursions, book club, sport etc have a closing date clearly printed on them. All notes and money must be returned by this date. If you are unable to return a note or money to the school by the closing date, we ask that you let the school know so that your child does not miss out on any event. If your child pays for an excursion and is absent on the day we are unable to offer a refund as excursions and bus hire are paid prior to the day of the event. Getting Involved at School Did you know research shows that children do better at school when their parents are involved in their child’s education? Children love to see their parent/carer at the school whether it be helping out in the classroom or being involved in other ways.

• Introduce yourself to your child’s class teacher.

• Keep the school informed of any changes that may affect your child.

• Read the school newsletter and keep an eye of Seesaw and the website for important information.

• Attend information sessions at the school.

• Talk with your child about their day.

• Attend Parents & Citizens (P&C) meetings.

• Volunteer in classroom activities such as children’s reading.

• Participate in school social activities.

• Speak to your child’s teacher about how you can be involved.

Kiss and Drop Reminders Important information for parents and carers who use Kiss and Drop:

1. If you have not already done so, you need to come to the school office and register. The office staff will process your registration and your child will be given a laminated piece of paper with a number and the names of the children you have nominated to pick up each afternoon. After receiving your number, you MUST DISPLAY this on your front passenger side sun visor with two elastic bands (please see example). If you have two cars then please ask the office staff for an additional copy.

2. The passenger side sun visor must be down when entering the Kiss and Drop zone each afternoon so that it is clearly visible for the teacher on duty to see.

3. For student safety reasons, CARS WITHOUT A REGISTRATION NUMBER WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE THE KISS AND DROP.

4. Once your car is in a safe position in our Kiss and Drop zone, the teacher on duty will call out your number (eg: 26). Only then will your child be permitted to leave the school grounds to enter your car.

5. Your child (children) must know their registration number and be listening for the teacher to call their number over the microphone.

6. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to call your child to come to the car. This is a safety issue. If you choose to disobey this rule you will not be permitted to use the Kiss and Drop zone.

7. READ THE COUNCIL ROAD SIGNAGE! Many parents and caregivers have received an infringement notice because they have not obeyed the road rules. You are not permitted to park in the Kiss and Drop zone for more than TWO MINUTES. New signage has been installed on the fence at our Kiss and Drop zone as well as on the Hume Highway and Davis Lane gates to remind you of the rules.

8. If you need to get out of your car, please be advised that the rules state you are to remain within a 1 metre radius of your car. Please ensure you follow these rules as police will be making regular checks, particularly during the afternoon peak Kiss and Drop period.

9. To avoid an infringement notice, you are advised to arrive in the Kiss and Drop zone at around 3.10-3.15pm. Children will be assembled by this time and ready to be dismissed from school, eliminating the issue of you having to wait more than the permitted two-minute period as well as cars backing up and blocking the Hume Highway.

10. Your cooperation with this process is expected.

For safety reasons, parents and caregivers are not permitted to drive onto the school grounds.

If any parent or carer is interested in training and delivering the

wonderful maths program as outlined below at our school, please see Mrs Ricchiuti.

Coronavirus update 2 February 2020

Update advice for Parents – 2 February 2020

Current advice from the Australian Government Department of Health for parents in regards to the Novel Coronavirus is:

• Any student and staff arriving in Australia from 1 February 2020 who has been in mainland China or transited through mainland China (not just Hubei province) is excluded from school and child care services for a period of 14 days from the date they left mainland China as the Novel Coronavirus’ incubation period can be as long as two weeks.

• Any confirmed case of Novel Coronavirus will be excluded until they are medically cleared to return

• Close contact of a confirmed case of Novel Coronavirus will be excluded for 14 days since last contact with the confirmed case.

• Any student and staff arriving before 1 February our previous advice remains that students and staff who were in Hubei province are excluded from school or child care services for 14 days, and those who were in the rest of China are requested not to not attend school or child care services for a period of 14 days after leaving China.

• More information can be found at NSW Health.

Students who returned to Australia from mainland China more than 14 days ago and have shown no symptoms are able to return to school. The Ministry of Health has processes in place to identify any close contacts of cases confirmed in Australia. Advice about not attending school would be provided to these close contacts by the Ministry of Health.

There has been a small number of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in NSW.

Consistent with current guidelines, staff and students who are unwell with respiratory illness should remain at home until symptoms resolve. In accordance with our current practice if any child becomes unwell we will implement our infection control guidelines and follow the advice provided by the Ministry of Health as appropriate.

The Department of Education will continue to work with the Ministry of Health to monitor and respond to the unfolding international novel coronavirus situation.
