Welcome to week six, the term is certainly going fast. Parents, students, teachers and NDIS providers have completed the Personalised Learning and Support meetings and set goals for the next six months. It is exciting to read the learning goals and plans around each of our students. Last week the whole school celebrated the last five weeks of engaging or re-engaging in the Positive Behaviour for Learning focus of “Hands by your side, feet on the ground and hula-hoop”. Students did a great job dressing in colours of the Australian flag. Autumn has arrived and the variable weather with it, a reminder that students are encouraged to wear their hats and sunscreen (please send in some if you have not already). Mornings are often cool and then the day warms up, please make sure that clothing items are clearly labelled so that they are not lost. Just a reminder that in extreme weather, such as heat, cold or rain, students have playtime with their buddy class inside. The whole school is participating in the “Clean Up Australia” program this week. This afternoon classes will clean up in different areas in the school grounds and this activity will continue to be supported by explicit teaching around sustainability. Your Sincerely Charmaine Borchert

Chaplain at Wewak Street School. Carla Humbley Our Chaplain works alongside the staff to facilitate the wellbeing of our students and their families. Our Chaplain runs breakfast club every Monday morning and lunchtime activities. She is caring and has an approachable presence in the school, providing a listening ear and comfort for those in a difficult time or in need of a friend.

What does a chaplain do? A Chaplain is an additional support for school communities to assist with the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of their students. Chaplains also provide one-on-one care, mentoring and support for students, parents and staff. Chaplains network with the local community to provide a broad range of support services to the school.

• Provide pastoral care for students, staff and the wider school community. • Facilitate breakfast club Monday mornings. • Facilitate small group programs and one-on-one meetings with students. • Facilitate lunch time activities to assist students in building healthy relationships. • Network with welfare services, local churches and other agencies in the local

community to provide a broad range of support services to the school. • Facilitate groups, events and activities to support spiritual wellbeing with voluntary

student participation. • Build mentoring relationships and assist students with goal setting. • Support staff at school excursions and other activities as required.

How is school chaplain funded? School Chaplaincy is funded through a variety of ways in schools throughout NSW. Many schools receive a government grant which covers hours until the end of 2023. Some schools have also sourced funding from local grants, P&C activities, business sponsorship, community groups, churches and individual supporters. Contact Carla at Wewak Street School - Families are able to make an appointment during the school term to discuss student concerns.

We are a sun smart school. Students are encouraged to wear hats (supplied by the school) or stay in the shade. Due to allergies the school does not supply sunscreen, parents/carers are to supply sunscreen clearly labelled with students’ name.
