24.01.2022 Tomorrow is R U OK Day which is about more than one question. Its about checking in with someone more than once a year. Its about being prepared when some...one says no, Im not okay. Its about looking for the signs that someone might not be okay. Its about checking in after that initial conversation. And its about checking in with yourself and making sure youre okay too. Lets normalise these conversations 365 days of the year, not just 1. Learn what to say at www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #TheresMoreToSay #RUOKDay #RUOK

20.01.2022 This year we have introduced 'Aussie of the Month' at Pimpala Primary which recognises personal endeavour, achievement and contribution to the community and reflects some of the values we share as Australians, such as fair go, mateship, respect and inclusion. 'Aussie of the Month' is a primary school recognition program, that's been running for more than 20 years and is delivered by the same network that presents the Australian of the Year Awards. Pimpala staff w...ill nominate students each month and then one student will be selected to receive this special award to celebrate their commitment to the values we embrace at our school. The first student to receive this award at our school is Ariehonor from 3/4 S. Arie is receiving our 'Aussie of the Month' award this month for: contributions to the school in the areas of classroom and playground where she demonstrates care and concern for others by including them in genuine ways. She receives a certificate, a special badge and a great pencil pack as recognition of her award today. What a fabulous first candidate as our school's first Aussie of the Month. We are very proud of you Arie!

13.01.2022 . 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, it's 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 there's 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 can't 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
13.01.2022 Over the weekend our school was vandalised with a number of base panels in exterior walls deliberately broken and offensive graffiti scratched into the asphalt area near the COLA. One of these external walls is comprised of asbestos and consequently, immediate action was taken to cordon off any affected areas. While this may be concerning, correct procedure was followed and no students or staff were exposed to the area of breakage and there is no risk to anyone on site. St...udents are remaining inside for recess only to allow external management and personnel clear access to the affected areas, without disruption by pedestrian traffic. The most disappointing aspect of this incident is the willful damage done to our school and the money we now need to find within our budget to repair it. We work very hard to maintain our school and grounds and may need to ban any out of school-hours access if this type of behaviour recurs. A Police Report has been filed, so if you know anything about this incident, please contact the school through the Administration Office. See more
