NEXT SHOW AND SHINE MORNING

The Community Engagement team invite you to the next Show and

Shine morning on Thursday

November 7th. If you haven’t had a

chance to call into your child’s room as yet this year

please make an effort to do so. The Year 4s are also

opening their doors to showcase their Project Based

Learning activities on this morning.

SUSTAINABILITY DAY

Each year we hold a whole school Sustainability Day

where our students gather in their Sustainability

Teams: Water, Waste, Energy or Biodiversity to learn

new ways to care for our environment and to share

their ideas. Today the teams were very busy around

the school

Planting garden beds with new tress and

plants,

Mulching to reduce water evaporation,

Riding bikes to make healthy fruit smoothies,

Making games to be used in classrooms,

Raising funds for sustainable projects by

wearing their team colours,

We hope you enjoyed the photos posted on our

facebook page throughout the day. Please talk with

your child to learn a little more about the fun

activities they participated in.

YEAR 6 UNIFORMS - 2020

Orders are currently being taken for personalised

Polos and Jackets for our 2020 Year 6 students. The

Year 5s have voted on their Polo and Jacket design.

Please ensure you place your order by October 31.

Details for ordering are on Compass.

MISSED PHONE CALLS

When EVPS staff phone you and you do not

answer they leave a message. Please listen to

these messages so that when you are able to ring

the school back our office staff know who to

transfer your call to. We have almost 150 staff

members so it is important that you can tell the

office staff who you are needing to speak with.

TAKING CARE OF OUR BOOKS

We love that our students have a wide

variety of take home reading and library

books to borrow. We ask that you assist your

child to value these books by keeping them in a

safe place when not in use and using the school

satchel to keep them waterproof and safe when

being taken to and from school. We thank

everyone for respecting our resources. If you do

not have a satchel they can be purchased from the

office for $15 on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday

or from the uniform list online every day.

MULTICULTURAL SCHOOL

One of the things I really value about our school is

the multicultural mix of families and the things

that I learn about so many different cultures. As

each celebration approaches I enjoy hearing from the students

the exciting things planned by

their families. One of the most

colourful celebrations is Diwali

also known as the Festival of

Lights. Not only are the colours

and lights beautiful but so is the wonderful food

eaten at this time. I am looking forward to October

27th.

Pedestrian Safety - Walking with Children aged 0- 12 years old

Our school supports students and families walking for leisure and transportation. Not only is this a great way to stay fit and healthy, but it helps reduce traffic on the roads and helps the environment.

It is important to stay safe when walking though, so remember these tips:

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK

To be a safe pedestrian, use your eyes, ears, judgement and common sense. Follow the safe road crossing procedure – stop, look, listen and think:

• STOP one step back from the kerb or shoulder of the road if there is no footpath.

• LOOK in all directions for approaching traffic.

• LISTEN in all directions for approaching traffic.

• THINK about whether it is safe to cross the road – when the road is clear or all traffic has stopped.

Research shows that young children do not have the skills and experience to be safe in traffic on their own. So take special care:

Up to 5 years - Parents/carers must always hold childrens’ hands when near traffic or the road. Once a child is mobile, especially walking, they must never be left unsupervised. Young children lack the skills, knowledge and judgment to be able to cope with traffic and so need to be constantly supervised.

5 years to around 10 years - Parents/carers can help children by providing plenty of practical supervised experience in using the road safely, as a part of the journeys taken every day. Research shows that children under age 12 do not have the skills and experience to be safe in traffic.

Up to around 11 to 12 years – children should be supervised by an adult in traffic. Teach them safe traffic behaviour and set a good example.

From 11 or 12 years – children may become more independent in their travel, however in complex traffic situations they still require supervision. Check regularly to ensure that children remember and follow safety procedures. Work with them to plan safe walking and cycling routes.
