Dear Parents, Congratulations Mr. Fairclough and Thank You If you weren’t at assembly last Friday you may not have heard that Mr. Fairclough (Media Arts and Digital Technology) will be leaving us tomorrow – Thursday. He has been successful in obtaining a teaching position at Staughton College (Melton) in the area of Media Arts and Drama. On your behalf, I thank Mr. Fairclough for his dedication and creativity in ensuring our students increased their Media and Digital Technology skills and enjoyed doing so in a very encouraging and supportive manner. We will miss you but wish you all the best!! ROAD SAFETY AROUND THE SCHOOL I often write an article such as this in the Valley Views and a recent event has seen me feeling the need to do so again. To maintain the safety of YOUR children, PLEASE ensure you drive carefully and slowly in the school precinct use the school crossings do not drive into the staff car parks for any reason display courtesy and patience during the busy before and after school times do not park over our neighbours’ driveways. I look forward to seeing a positive and SAFE start to term two around the school. Thank You! You Can Do It Focus – Being a Responsible Learner Once again the students have shown excellent behavior as they focus on the following Golden Rules to ensure everyone gets along. I look forward to next terms focus of Organisation.

The Importance of ‘Due Dates’ There are many activities, excursions etc. that we organise across all year levels over a year. To ensure we can book venues, arrange buses, have the correct ratios of staff to students and other factors that make an excursion or activity a positive one, we do need to set ‘Due Dates’ for the return of notices and money. We never like to say to you that the due date has passed and your child is not able to participate, as we want everyone to be involved to enrich their learning. I very much thank you for ensuring you get your notes and money back to us in time as this does assist us greatly and avoid the uncomfortable conversation. Final Day Of Term 1– Thursday 29

At Kilberry Valley Primary School, we believe that student success is dependent upon
good attendance at school. Students need to attend school regularly in order to
participate fully and gain maximum benefit from their schooling. Daily attendance
enables students to access a full education, allowing them to reach their full potential.
Students with poor patterns of attendance in primary school usually have poor patterns
in secondary school and often disengage from school. There is a direct link between
school attendance and achievement in later life. Poor attendance also makes it difficult
for children to form positive relationships with their peers therefore, we feel that regular
attendance is essential for KVPS students.
EVERY DAY COUNTS
Whole School Average Attendance - From 29/1/2018 to 26/3/2018 = 93%
Fire Restrictions are still in force
This is a reminder that you still cannot burn off as restrictions are still in force. A number of brigades have been called out in recent days to residents burning off.
We have had very little rain for the past 6 weeks so if a fire
starts it will spread through the dry fuel quickly....
If you burn off and we get called then the police will also be called.
If you see someone burning off please call 000 immediately.
Any parent who wishes to help out in our classrooms or on excursions, must provide a current Working With Childrens Card (WWCC) to the office. On the day you come to assist, please come through the office and sign in the visitors book, you will be given a “Classroom helper Privacy Agreement” to read and sign. Please ensure you bring your Working With Childrens Card with you, to display in our lanyard, which you will wear while in the classroom or on excursions.
To be eligible for Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund payment.
You will need to provide your current
Healthcare / Pension card for us to sight and photocopy must be valid past 29th January 2018.
Please hand your application form to the office before Friday 22nd June 2018
One of our children in the school community is receiving medical
treatment which puts them at serious risk if they are exposed to
infectious illnesses, in particular: Chicken -Pox, Measles, Mumps
or Shingles.
It is also important that while your child is unwell they remain at home until they
are no longer contagious. Please let us know immediately by calling
the school office on 9702 8688.
As a school community we value your support in relation to the wellbeing of
all our students.
We have a large number of school
jumpers without names, in
various sizes.
If your child has lost an item of
clothing, please check lost property
in the hall.

CHANGE OF CLOTHING FOR STUDENTS
We would like to remind parents to
provide a change of clothing in children’s school bags—preferably some clean
underwear, track suit pants, windcheater, shorts or a dress.
This is handy for
ALL children in ALL grade levels .
It makes them feel less stressed if they require a change of clothing owing to an accident or a blood nose or
they fall in the mud.
We ask for your co-operation with this matter as our Sick Bay is unable to cope
with the large volume of people requiring changes of clothing.
THANK YOU

Why not practise your Spanish during the holidays? How? Well you could… Watch your favourite cartoons in Spanish on Youtube or download a free app such as Duolingo or Funcat Spanish. Maybe, you could find out what ‘churros’ are and do some Spanish cooking. Que rico!
