Principal’s Report

Thank you to absolutely every student, parent and staff member who have made this term a successful one!!! But wow hasn’t it gone fast!!

After the AGM, last week, Congratulations and Thank you to Su King, President and Canteen Manager, Matthew Farran, Vice President and Lesley Rowley, Treasurer. We do have a vacancy for Secretary, so please consider and come along to the next meeting. I would like to thank them for their continuing commitment in these important volunteering roles. I’m sure 2018 will be another successful year.

Due to some mandatory Professional Learning in Literacy and Learning Progressions across the Eden Monaro Network, we need to change the dates for the BDPSSA Athletics Carnival. The Field events (only the students nominated) will be Monday, 7th May and the whole school Athletics carnival, K to Year 6, will be on Tuesday, 8th May. The Delegate Athletics Carnival will be Thursday, 3rd May.

ANZAC Day in 2018 is in the second week of the school holidays. Attached is a confirmation note that your students will be in attendance. We need to allocate some roles for the day and would appreciate knowing who will be available. Please return by Tuesday, 10th April so we can choose people for the necessary roles.

Middle School Day for Years 5 and 6 students will be on Thursday, 12th April at Bombala High School. Students are expected to travel on the High School buses. A $5 fee will cover recess and lunch.

As this is the final newsletter for Term One, have a fun, restful and safe holiday!

Parent Helpers

We love to see our parents getting involved in the children’s learning.

Parent helpers are a very sought after school asset. We ask all our

volunteer parents to apply for their WWCC (Working with Children Check ).

You can apply online for your (WWCC) @

https://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/child-safe-organisations/working-with-

children-check.

The Working With children check is a requirement for anyone who works or

volunteers in child-related work in NSW. It involves a National Police check

(criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace

misconduct.

The outcome of a check is either a clearance to work with children or a bar

against working with children. If cleared, the check will be valid for 5 years,

however applicants are continuously monitored.

If you’re applying and you are a paid employee or self-employed, there is

a fee for the WWCC. If you are a volunteer, a student on a professional

placement, potential adoptive parents or an authorised carer, you won’t

need to pay the fee
