Fri 24th Nov COUNTRY FAIR FETE

Dear Parents, Staff and Students,

Welcome back to Term 4 which, as always, promises to be a

very busy one with a range of learning opportunities, our

Country Fair Fete and transitional programs in readiness for

next year. Key dates are listed in ‘Calendar Events’ on our

Skoolbag app. Weekly reminders are also included in our

newsletters to assist you in keeping track at this busy time of

the year.

Preparations for our Country Fair Fete continue in earnest. As

you could imagine there is much to be done over the next few

weeks. The Fete committee would appreciate any assistance

you can provide leading up to and on the night of the Fete.

The next meeting of the Fete Committee will be held in

the staffroom at 6:30pm next Tuesday, 17th October.

Please come along or call the office on 97444566 and leave

your name if you would like to offer your support. A huge

thanks goes out to all who have given their time so far or who

have already committed to assist us with this exciting com-

munity event. Look out for next week’s Fete newsletter

which will provide important information.

Unfortunately works didn’t proceed as quickly as planned,

resulting in restricted access at the front of the school for the

first few weeks of term. We thank everyone for their patience

and understanding. Importantly those works that need to be

completed in time for our Fete are still on track.

If there is any information that we may not be aware of that

may affect your child’s class placement next year please put

the details in writing and forward to the office marked

Attention: Mr Glenn McConnell by Friday 27th of October.

This is not a teacher / class selection process, but an oppor-

tunity to provide information which may assist with your

children’s social and academic grouping. While all infor-

mation will be carefully considered we can not guarantee

that all needs will be met.

A number of NAPLAN results are still awaiting collection at

the office. Those not collected by Friday 20th October will

be sent home with students.

To assist us with our forward planning we ask any families /

students who are moving to another area and not returning to

Kismet Park in 2018 to notify the school office as soon as

possible. This information is critical in terms of class struc-

tures and staffing. Thank you for your assistance.

obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about

a child’s safety, which we follow rigorously.

Kismet Park Primary School is committed to preventing

child abuse and identifying risks early, and removing and

reducing these risks. We have human resources and recruit-

and respect all children, as well as our staff and volunteers.

We are committed to the safety of all children. Kismet Park

At Kismet Park Primary School:

· Everyone connected to our school can help children be

safe.

· We have zero tolerance for any abuse of children.

· We already have policies and processes in place to protect

the care, safety and welfare of children.

community may interact with the children. These are set

out in our school’s Child Safe Code of Conduct which will

accompany next week’s newsletter.

A copy of our Child Safe Policy and Child Safe related

documents are available on our school website.

Have a great week!

Weekly recap

Welcome back to the last term of 2017! We can't believe how quickly this year is going. We had a fantastic time over the school holidays. We had a karate incursion, went to the Royal Botanical Gardens to go ponding and went to

the Fairy Park! The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun creating new games and new friendships with the children from other schools in Sunbury.

We are looking forward to all the adventures Term 4 will bring. Stay tuned to hear all about our next adventure!
