25.01.2022 Our day has just been made! Thank you to the Whyalla Ministers’ Group for this Thank You gift! It’s lovely to be appreciated!

21.01.2022 Dear WSC families A skeleton staff will provide supervision but not a formal learning program for the next 2 days. Mon & Tues are pupil free days for staff to plan for possible home learning. Don’t hesitate to call the school if you need more information. Look after each other in these crazy times!

20.01.2022 It’s that time of the year when hats must be worn for sun protection. We’ve given students the first week to find or purchase a hat. From Monday it’s ‘No hat - play in the shade’. Hats can be purchased for $5 from the office.

18.01.2022 Jelly Cup Day tomorrow. You don’t need to order - just have money ready for Big & Little Lunches.

18.01.2022 Pupil Free Day tomorrow! Friday 4th June.

12.01.2022 Well done to our boys basketball team! They came away with the Attitude Shield! So proud of the 5 boys who played hard all day! Pics in next week’s newsletter.

10.01.2022 . 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 that’s 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 it’s important to them. The more you understand about it, the more you can stay across it. 2 . If you know what apps they’re using, help them make their profile as secure as possible, whether it’s 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 don’t 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 children’s online content. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner is a great resource for parents, guardians and kids: www.esafety.gov.au
