Our Vision

Nungarin Primary School exists to provide a place that promotes student enjoyment and the necessary knowledge, skills and values that empower all students to realise their potential as independent, responsible, active members of our community. Our vision is achieved in partnership with families and the community.

General Information

Nungarin Primary School is a Level 3 Primary School and provides educational services to the children of Nungarin and surrounding farms. Our school has students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Nungarin Primary School is currently staffed by 1 Principal, 2 Teachers, 1 Manager Corporate Services, 1 School Officer, 1 Library Officer, 1 Mainstream Education Assistant, 1 Special Needs Education Assistant, 1 AEIO, 1 Cleaner and 1 Gardener.

The current middle classroom is utilised as the Computer Lab and LOTE area. Our students enjoy well maintained and presented gardens and play areas.Nungarin Primary School has a tradition of high standards of student academic achievement and behaviour.

These forms are available from the office.

No medication will be given to a student without a written record of parental consent being held by the school.

Book Club (Scholastic)Mrs Robyn Lee operates the Book Club activities throughout the year, through Scholastic Australia. Parent and students can purchase low cost books and puzzles through this scheme and parent purchases enable the school to engage in a reward system (points) in purchasing books for our school library.

Contributions, Charges & FeesStudents are entitled to participate in an educational program that satisfies the requirements of the Australian Curriculum Framework. Principals, in consultation with their School Council, and in aaccordance with the School Education Act 1999, the School Education Regulations 2000 and this policy, determine all payments requested of parents for the education of their children.

These are extra-cost, optional components of the educational program for which parents are asked to contribute. Charges are made for student participation in activities such as:

School Camps; In-Term Swimming Lessons; Excursions; Interschool Excursion Events (sporting events); Incursions – visiting performers and attractions; and Participation in programs where extra cost consumables are involved.

In consultation with parents and the family doctor, an agreed emergency action plan

will be drawn up by the school.

ExcursionsExcursions enrich our school programs and foster student enjoyment – the first key word of our school vision. We aim to provide opportunities throughout the year for students to participate in excursions – generally one per term. Parents are sometimes asked to contribute to the cost of excursions, and to fill in permission slips to consent to their child leaving the school grounds.Internet And Online services Online services are defined as any services including, but not limited to, email, calendaring, instant messaging, web conferencing, discussion groups, online file sharing and storage, Internet access and web browsing, that may be accessed using the computer networks and services of the Department.Online servicesto students in public schools will only be used for learning related activities and require informed parental consent and appropriate management.Our school’s policy on online services is carefully monitored within set guidelines (a copy is enclosed in this booklet). Students sign a contract to cover their use of the online services.

InterviewsInterviews with teachers are vital in fostering the link between school and home, and in sharing information about the progress of your child. Parents are invited to contact the school office to arrange an interview with your child’s teacher.

Languages Other Than English (LOTE)All students from years 1-6 study a Language Other Than English (LOTE- Indonesian). Nungarin Primary School, in partnership with Schools of Isolated and Distance Education (SIDE) offer Indonesian lessons delivered via the internet on Wednesdays and Thursdays and are interactive web-based lessons.

Leaving School GroundsStudents may only leave the school grounds during the day, where a written request has been received from parents. The Principal will issue a leave pass for students departing during the day, which must be carried by the student for the duration of their absence from the school grounds.

Lunch OrdersLunch orders are available from the local shop, Wegner’s Rural—Monday to Friday. Parents should contact the shop to order a child’s lunch on 9046 5507. Orders are delivered to the school at 12.30pm. No “red” foods are to be ordered, including sweet drinks. We promote a healthy school so please ensure you provide sufficient & appropriate recess, lunch, fruit & a water bottle for your child.

NewslettersSchool newsletters are issued fortnightly. These are sent home with the family representative (eldest child) in each family. It is most important that parents check their child’s school bag for the newsletter each fortnight, as this is the major source of information and communication from the school. If you wish to be included on the email list for a copy of the newsletter, please notify the school office.A planner of planned events is issued once per term, and in each fortnightly newsleter

Non-Prescription MedicationAnalgesics (aspirin and paracetamol) are non-prescribed pain suppressants and can have undesirable side-effects. They cannot be administered at school to students without a parent’s written instructions and parents must supply this medication. The school does not

Page 5: HOMEWORK POLICY - nungarinps.wa.edu.au€¦  · Web viewwill be drawn up by the school. Excursions. Excursions enrich our school programs and foster student enjoyment – the first

supply the paracetamol or any other analgesic medication.

Permission SlipsStudents are issued with permission slips for each activity off the school site. This can create a mountain of paperwork at various times of the school year, but we ask parents to complete the permission slips and return the next day, to alleviate a lot of time being wasted chasing up on individual children’s paperwork.

P&COur school has an active P&C which gives the school valuable support throughout the year. Parents are invited to join the P&C and take part in the fundraising and activities. General meetings of the P&C are held once per term at school. Dates of meetings are advertised in the school newsletter. Current P&C President is Gemma Coumbe, Secretary is Jayne Witham & Uniform Co-ordinator and Treasurer is Kim Holland for 2018.

Payments to SchoolContributions for 2018 can be paid directly to Nungarin Primary School—$25 per child K—6. Other occasional payments are required for excursions etc. throughout the year. Money should be placed in an envelope with the student’s name, the amount enclosed and the purpose. Where possible, the correct amount should be sent as giving change is difficult. We ask that parents pay their voluntary contributions ($25 per child) as soon as possible, from the beginning of the school year. EFT Payments are available with school bank account details being: BSB-306-018, Account number: 5173829. Please include family name for reference—eg. M Smith Vol Conts Payments by cheque should be made out to “Nungarin Primary School.”

Personal Items (Book List)Items for personal use in the educational program include stationery items, workbooks, library bags and any equipment used in the day-to-day program in the classroom. The school has issued a personal items list in this booklet and makes recommendations as to where the items may be purchased. Students are expected to commence the year with their own set of personal items which are clearly marked with the child’s name. Please ensure items are replaced as needed throughout the school year.

School Behaviour ManagementOur behaviour management program aims to make the school a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment for students and staff.

While we endeavour to reward students for appropriate and positive behaviour at school, it is important for children to learn that consequences exist for inappropriate behaviour.

Breaches of the school code of behaviour may result in: Loss of privileges; Exclusion from class; Time-out; Parent notification and/or interview; Suspension from school.

In some cases, parents will be informed of our intention to suspend their child and have 24 hours to arrange an interview to discuss the matter. Following the interview, the student may be suspended, or an alternative measure implemented as a result of the meeting. In cases where the behaviour of a student poses a threat to the safety and well-being of themselves or others, they may be immediately suspended from school.

Page 6: HOMEWORK POLICY - nungarinps.wa.edu.au€¦  · Web viewwill be drawn up by the school. Excursions. Excursions enrich our school programs and foster student enjoyment – the first

Where student suspensions occur, parents are notified in writing. One copy of the suspension notice accompanies the child home, another is mailed to the parents and a third copy is forwarded to the Wheatbelt Education Office, to be noted against the student’s record.

School LeadersOur school leaders are comprised of elected representatives from the Classroom (2) for 2018. Each leader serves for a term of one year. School Leaders are elected by their peers and staff and often lead the school in assemblies, attendance to visitors and at various school events.

School Bus Our school is serviced by one bus route. The bus contractor for the Nungarin bus route is Peter Geraghty: Telephone 9047 1031 (Work), 9047 1221 (Home). The school bus has a mobile phone and can be contacted on: 0428 471 032 or via VHF Two Way Radio Channel 40.

It is important that if your child is not catching the bus on a particular day that the bus driver is contacted. This is most important both morning and afternoon. Communication between home and school is most important, so that delays do not occur when trying to ascertain which students are on the bus, or being picked up by a parent. This is particularly the case in the afternoon. Young children should be sent with written instructions if they are not on the bus in the afternoon, or alternatively please contact the school via telephone to let us know where your child is going. On the occasion of a sports carnival, it is most important that parents on the bus route liaise with the bus driver as to their requirements both morning and afternoon. This is not a school responsibility and your compliance would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact the school if you have any queries regarding eligibility for school bus services. Application for new bus service is now completed on-line through the Public Transport Authority, as is applying for Conveyance Allowance should parents not be able to utilise the bus service due to distances. The Public Transport Authority website link is http://www.pta.wa.gov.au/ and then follow the links through School Bus Services to access on-line forms and to make application for bus services. The Public Transport Authority can be contacted on 9236 2000.Complimentary passengers are carried at the discretion of the school principal. Please contact the school to gain permission for your child to travel on the bus. The school bus is not able to deviate from the designated bus route at any stage.

School CouncilThe Principal will provide members of the school council or board with the following information to enable them to undertake the functions of the school council or board: The council or board has the following functions, as stipulated in the School Education Act 1999, School Education Regulations 2000, associated delegations and, if incorporated, the Associations Incorporation Act 1987: 1. to take part in: a) establishing and reviewing from time to time, the school’s objectives, priorities and general policy directions; b) the planning of financial arrangements necessary to fund those objectives, priorities anddirections; c) evaluating the school’s performance in achieving them; and d) formulating codes of conduct for students at the school; 2. to determine in consultation with students, their parents and staff a dress code for students when they are attending or representing the school; 3. to promote the school in the community; 4. to approve: charges and contributions for the provision of certain materials, services and
