21.01.2022 We had a great assembly last week full of lots of performances. Room 20 hosted and performed a song called the Notation Song which has been helping them learn how to read music. Next was the violin ensemble. Four groups performed 4 different songs. Finally we finished the assembly with performances from the junior choir and senior choir. Hope you enjoy the post!

17.01.2022 The new Education and Childrens Services Act introduces a strong new approach to attendance, including family conferencing and increased penalties for non-atte...ndance. ? A child of compulsory school age must attend the school theyre enrolled in every day. If a child fails to attend school without a reasonable excuse then each person who is responsible for the child is guilty of an offence. The maximum penalty for this is $5,000. You can find more information here: www.education.sa.gov.au/educationact And you can read the Act in full here: https://bit.ly/30chkYS

09.01.2022 Welcome to our Cyber Certificate Ceremony!

09.01.2022 Please see Vacation Care Program for September/October holidays below. Bookings are open for current families from today and other community families next Friday.

09.01.2022 . A lot of warnings have been issued for children to stay off social media, specifically Tik Tok, d...ue to a graphic self harm video thats circulating. While we do recommend that parents monitor their children or keep them off the platform, its a band-aid solution for a long-term issue due to the fact that distressing videos constantly circulate online. Instead we would like to encourage all parents and guardians to -: 1 . Understand that they will most likely use it, whether you understand the appeal or not. Ask them what apps they use, find out why they like those apps. Start a dialogue so you can start understanding why its important to them. The more you understand about it, the more you can stay across it. 2 . If you know what apps theyre using, help them make their profile as secure as possible, whether its TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch or Reddit (the list is endless). You can do this with the help of this eSafety Commissioner guide: www.esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide 3 . Be open and willing to listen. Make them aware of Kids Helpline Official (1800 55 1800), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), headspace (headspace.org.au) and Lifeline (13 11 14) so they know they have a place to contact if they dont feel comfortable approaching you. 4 . Kids often create a social media profile that they make visible to you, but keep their actual profile under a fake name hidden from you. Again, this is why we encourage you to talk to your child openly and honestly. 5 . If your child watches YouTube videos, please be aware theres no guarantee that this content will be safe for kids. People can easily edit distressing videos for kids that slip through the filters. If you cant monitor your child on YouTube then let them watch Netflix kids instead as it has stronger filters. SBS and ABC iview are both free alternatives for childrens online content. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner is a great resource for parents, guardians and kids: www.esafety.gov.au

02.01.2022 What does your child need? If children feel unwell, they should stay home to rest. A sore throat, headache, runny nose, body aches, fever and/or a cough all ...point to the same thing: kids shouldnt be at school. So keep them at home and let them take what they need to feel better (whether thats or ).
