PARENT HELPERS/ VOLUNTEERS SPECIAL

Helpers / Volunteers, we will be holding our

school. So many of our parents support our

work in such diverse ways. From School

you to come along. Invitations will be sent

home today. We hope to see you there.

CHILD SAFETY POLICY The Victorian Government is committed to

the safety and wellbeing of all children

and young people. As part of the

Victorian Government’s commitment to

implementing the recommendations of the

Betrayal of Trust report, which found that

more must be done to prevent and

respond to child abuse in our community,

there is a new regulatory landscape

surrounding child safety, underpinned by

the new PROTECT Child Safe Standards.

The Child Safe Standards are compulsory

minimum standards for all Victorian early

childhood services and schools, to ensure

they are well prepared to protect children

from abuse and neglect. Sunshine Primary

School has recently developed a new

Child Safety Policy which is available on

our website or from the office.

2017 BOOK PACK INFORMATION Book Pack information for 2017 was sent

home last Friday with the eldest child.

If you have not received your Book Pack

information please contact the office so

we can arrange for another copy to be

sent home.
