Double Parking - WIDFORD STREET
It is important that parents park legally to provide a safer
environment for children. Double parking restricts the view of
drivers, forces children onto the road and obstructs the flow of
traffic.
Parking within 20 metres before a designated school crossing or 10
metres after is illegal. Fines will be ISSUED by Moreland Council
Parking Officers.

STUDENT WELLBEING – UPDATED STUDENT BEHAVIOUR PROCESS
Dear Families,
Student Wellbeing has always been of utmost priority at Corpus Christi. We continually strive
to refine our practices to ensure our school community is a safe and positive environment for
all.
We have recently updated our Student Behaviour Processes. Some main points are explained
in this newsletter.
DOJO RECORDING SYSTEM
For the last 18 months student behaviour has been recorded electronically via the CLASS
DOJO app. This data has informed Behaviour scores for student reports and allowed us to
monitor closely the frequency of our student behaviour incidents and provide the necessary
supports.
HOW IT WORKS
Every student across the school is awarded 5 points at the start of each day
This assumes compliance for 3 learning sessions and 2 playtime sessions each day
If a child is given a consequence for non-complaint behaviour (in line with our Positive Be-
haviour Process) they lose a point (includes class, yard and with specialists)
This data can then be collated to track individual student progress as well as whole school be-
haviour frequency
Student scores then inform their Behaviour score for their June and December reports
The DOJO is recorded discreetly and most students do not have access to the DOJO
Students and their parents can have access to the DOJO when it is used as a tool to monitor
and reflect on their behaviour
LEVELLED BEHAVIOUR PROCESS
This process is being introduced this term to closely monitor Student Behaviour and provide
the necessary support and Intervention for students, staff and their families.
HOW FAMILIES CAN HELP
Parent Communication is vital to our success in improving Student Behaviour.
For parents we encourage you to keep it simple;
- Model your own positive behaviour
- Praise their positive behaviour and spend quality time with your child
- Set clear, concise and consistent expectations and logical consequences
Please also refer to our Student Wellbeing Booklet for more information on our Wellbeing
practices. We welcome any parent feedback and questions.

Prayer for Forgiving Others
Dear Merciful Lord,
Thank you for your gift of forgiveness.
Your only Son loved me enough to come to earth and experience
the worst pain imaginable so I could be forgiven.
Your mercy flows to me in spite of my faults and failures.
Your Word says to “clothe yourselves with love,
which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” (Col. 3:14)
Help me demonstrate unconditional love today, even to those who hurt me. AMEN
Letter From St Vincent de Paul Society
To the children of Corpus Christi
I take great delight and pride in thanking you for your wonderful generosity and I thank your families as well. The tins of food gathered by you will be used to boost the content of the food parcels given to the needy in our area. Surely they will delight in the items and give thanks to our almighty father for these gifts. May the blessings of our lord be with you and your families.
Yours sincerely Frank Crisapulli Vice President
