school council elections

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our

School Councillors of 2019 for their commitment and

contribution to our school. Parents on School Council

help to shape the direction of the school and have a

direct influence on the quality of education provided

for our students. It is time for our annual School

Council elections. Information regarding the role of

School Council and the process involved in becoming

a member has been sent home with the children

today.

We are currently calling for nominations for 4

parent positions and 2 DET positions. Please

refer to the additional information sent home

today if you are thinking of nominating and would

like to become a part of our School Council for

2020.

Nomination forms are available at the office on

request and are due in by 4 pm Thursday 20th

February.

Changes to assembly

As a result of feedback from students and teachers,

along with an increase in school numbers, we have

made the decision to trial a change to assembly. We

will be alternating each Monday between a Junior (P-

2) and Senior (3-6) assembly with the final assembly

at the end of each term for the whole school. The aim

of this change is to provide greater space for our

increase in numbers and provide our students with

additional learning time. We are hoping that

assembly will become more relevant to the age of the

students and that we can have additional student

items to keep them engaged. Please refer to the

assembly timetable on the calendar page of this

newsletter. We will also flexibuzz an assembly

reminder each week.

Road work on Mornington Tyabb Road

We have been notified by the Shire that there will be road works on Mornington Tyabb Road during February and March. These road works may lead to a part closure and detour. We have expressed our concerns to the Shire that this is our main access, drive through and carpark and have been told that they will provide us with greater detail closer to the time. At this stage we are unsure of the impact of this and will keep you up to date as we are provided with

further information.

School leaders

Our Year Six students have had a great start to the

year. During the ‘start up’ program it is reinforced that

all of our Year 6 students are leaders of the school

and role models to the younger year levels. The

beginning of the year also brings with it an

opportunity for our senior students to take on

leadership positions across the school. I congratulate

the following students who have been appointed

leadership positions for 2020:

SCHOOL CAPTAINS Bethany and Tadhg

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL Emma and Alex

BENTON HOUSE CAPTAINS Georgia and Lukas

JONES HOUSE CAPTAINS Emma and Ryder

BAXTER HOUSE CAPTAINS Amelia and Tom

Year 6 camp

Last week Ms Grinsted and Mrs Howden visited the grade 6 students at Camp Woorabinda. The children enjoyed hiking, flying fox, high ropes, canoeing, raft and hut building and a visit to the farm. Our students had a fabulous time and are to be congratulated for their excellent attitude and for making the most of every opportunity. Well done grade 6!

READING ROCKS AND SO DO YOU!!

It was terrific to hear that many students continued their

love for reading over the holidays. Sophie, Emily and

Hannah from 3A proudly showed me that they read most

nights during the holidays. Now that we are back at school

we will start to count our nights of reading ready for our

100, 200 and 300 nights of reading.

Canteen

The canteen is looking for more volunteers. If you are

able to assist at all, can you please let the office know

or contact the Canteen Manager, Jantina Forecast.

Canteen helpers are required on Tuesday mornings,

Wednesday mornings and afternoon and Friday

afternoon. Volunteers will require a Working with

Children's check. These are free for volunteers.

REBEL SPORTS MORNINGTON

Tyabb Primary School when you make your purchase.

RITCHIES SOMERVILLE

Ritchies Community Benefit Program donates 0.5% of

the money you spend on groceries to our school. All

you need to do is scan your Community Benefit Card

in any Ritchies store. If you do not have a Community

Benefit Card, forms and cards are available from the

office.

BELEZA UNIFORMS

By shopping at Beleza Uniforms the Tyabb Primary

School receives 5% commission that goes back to the

school.

Rugby jumper update

At the end of last year, the

company that provides us

with our rugby jumpers

informed us that there will be

a substantial increase in

price, due to the small

number of jumpers that we

order each year. As the price for these jumpers was

already $75 we have decided to go with our current

uniform company Beleza who can provide us with a

very similar rugby jumper with school logo for

approximately $50. These will be stocked at Beleza

and parents will be able to buy them directly from the

store. Parents who paid for their jumpers last year will

be refunded so they can purchase directly from

Beleza. These may not be available until June/July.

Students will be able to wear old jumpers until they

gradually phase out.


We appreciate that we have parking and traffic issues

at drop off and pick up time, especially at 3.30pm due

to the high volume of students leaving both Tyabb PS

and Flinders College. With patience the traffic is

always clear by 3.50pm. We would fix these problems

if we could but are restricted by a lack of funds, lack of

land owned by the school and the fact that we do not

own the land that the drive through sits on .

Our School Council has been in constant discussions

with both the Local Council and Vic Roads to see what

can be done to improve some of the parking issues.

There have been many ideas put forward over these

years including a turning lane on Mornington Tyabb

Road, extending the drive through in to the reserve,

widening the drive through to include a path and angle

parking, carpark in the old tennis court of the reserve

and a carpark at end of the oval. The problem is that

significant projects like these need approval from

various authorities and cost thousands of dollars.

Funds which are well out of our reach.

In the meantime our School Council have

implemented small measures to improve the flow.

These have included pushing for new paths and the

parking lane on McLaurin Drive. We worked with the

Local Council to implement the 5 minute pick-up zone

out the front of the school which has significantly

helped with the flow of traffic.

We share the concern of our community and urge you

to consider your children’s safety and the safety of

others when you are dropping off and picking up from

the school by being patient and considerate. Please

consider some of the following:

Please do not stop and wait in the middle of Jones

Road for a spot.

If there is not a parking spot please keep moving

along to see if there are spots further on. Parents

often stop when there are spots further on.

If there is not a spot continue along Jones Road,

turn around and come back for another attempt. To

turn around you must drive around McLaurin Drive

and turn back on to Jones Road or continue to the

Bungower Road roundabout.

Obey all parking restrictions and signage including

NO STANDING zones. Parents are not permitted to

park opposite the school and crossing this road is

extremely dangerous for both you and your child.

NO STANDING zones are there to keep people

safe and are fully enforced .

Obey the NO ENTRY sign on Mornington Tyabb

Road as entering this may lead to a collision with

vehicles using the drive through correctly and

threaten the safety of students and parents.

Obey the 5 minute parking rule at the front of our

school between 3.30 – 4.00pm. Stress to your child

to ‘watch and wait’ so you do not need to get out of

the car to look for your child. A speedy changeover

of cars improves the flow of traffic.

Police patrol local schools to improve the flow of traffic. The

Mornington Peninsula Shire also send out officers to

enforce the rules listed on the following document. All of

these rules are aimed at improving the flow of traffic and

ensuring the safety of our students, drivers and

pedestrians. Please note that infringements are from last

year and may be higher in 2020.

Warning: Parents that enter the driveway through the middle exit on Mornington

Tyabb Road by ignoring the NO ENTRY sign are posing a real risk and threat to

the safety of our students and parents. Please obey all signs!!!


Parking Awareness Program

Many schools on the Mornington Peninsula face challenges in relation to the amount of available parking close to school entrances and this limited parking leads to problems with traffic flow and safety during drop off and pick up times. The School Parking Awareness Program aims to reduce the congestion and improve the safety of pedestrians and drivers specifically during these times by ensuring drivers are aware and observe road rules and signage which is in place. Council Officers will be attending schools on a random basis across the year. Officers will identify drivers committing offences, drivers may be verbally cautioned, or issued with an infringement notice. The types of offences relating to the Road Safety Road Rules 2017; Rule 171 – Stopping on or near a children’s crossing: ‘A driver must not stop on a children’s crossing, or on the road within 20 metres before the crossing and 10 metres after the crossing’. Infringement notice: $161.00 Rule 167 – No stopping signs: ‘A driver must not stop on a length of road or in an area to which a no stopping sign applies’. Infringement notice: $161.00 Rule 183 – Stopping in a bus zone: ‘A driver must not stop in a bus zone unless the driver is driving a public bus’. Infringement notice: $97.00 Rule 197 – Stopping on a path, dividing strip, nature strip, painted island or traffic island: A driver must not stop on a bicycle path, footpath, shared path or dividing strip, or a nature strip adjacent to a length of road in a built-up area: Infringement notice: $97.00 Rule 189 – Double parking: ‘A driver must not stop on a road if to do so would put any part of the vehicle that the driver is driving between a vehicle that is parked on the road and the centre of the road’. Infringement notice: $97.00 Rule 203 – Stopping in a parking area for people with disabilities: A driver must not stop in a parking area for people with disabilities unless: the driver’ vehicle displays a current parking permit for people with disabilities; and the driver complies with the conditions of the use of the permit. Infringement notice: $161.00 Rule 169 – No stopping on a road with a yellow edge line: A driver must not stop at the side of a road marked with a continuous yellow edge line. Infringement notice: $97.00 Rule 205 – Parking for longer than indicated: A driver must not park continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies for longer than the period indicated by information on or with the sign or, if rule 206 applies to the driver, the period allowed under the rule. Infringement notice: $81.00 Drivers should be aware that at times Officers will take notes or photographs of drivers parking in contravention of the road rules. Any notes or photographs taken are used for the sole purpose of proving evidence that an offence has taken place. The Shire works directly with many schools to improve the traffic flow and availability of parking. However, the reality is such that there will never be enough parking during the high demand periods. Other options to reduce congestion may include walking to and from school, carpooling or arriving earlier or later to

the main peak which often lasts only a short time.

VISITING PSYCHOLOGIST / COUNSELLOR

In 2018 we secured the services of ER Psychology

for the students requiring assistance with their

mental health.

Liz will be offering her services on a fortnightly

basis at Tyabb. The students accessing this service

at the school require an up to date Mental Health

Plan to access up to 10 sessions with Liz. Some

students require less than 10 sessions. These

sessions are held at the school during school hours.

If you feel that your child would benefit from the

services of a psychologist/counsellor, please do not

hesitate to make contact with Kris Grinsted (Acting

Assistant Principal) / Welfare co-ordinator. Please

read the information below as to the services that

are offered.

Liz Russell

B.A., Post Grad Dip. (Psych), M. Psych (Health),

MAPS

Registered Psychologist & Director at ER

Psychology

Fully registered as a psychologist with the Australian

Health Practitioner Registration Association (AHPRA)

since 2008, Liz has completed a Master’s degree in

Health Psychology at Monash University, and also a

Supervised Practice Plan in Darwin and Melbourne.

Liz has 18 years of counselling experience, and has

worked with adults, adolescents and children in

individual and group settings. In addition to seeing

private patients at ER Psychology located at the

Humphries Road Medical Centre, Liz provides on-site

psychological therapeutic care to children ranging in

age from 5 – 11 years, at several Peninsula based

primary schools.

Liz has worked with a range of presenting problems

including health related concerns, chronic pain,

depression, anxiety, stress; loss of confidence, poor

self-esteem, adjustment disorders, grief and loss, and

behavioural disorders.

Liz’s approach to presenting problems is to examine

the biological, psychological, and social components

that underpin the issues presented by clients. She

takes an integrative approach to counselling, and

mainly uses client-centred, cognitive behavioural,

and strength based therapies.

Liz and Dominique visit the school on a regular basis

and have been very proactive in helping a number of

students at Tyabb PS over the past 12 months.

Sessions are held at the school during school hours.

They have a passion for helping children and their

professional approach to a range of requests from

parents has been outstanding.

I highly recommend their services for any children

who are experiencing stress, anxiety, school refusal

or personal issues in their life.

Welfare


Curriculum Corner

Mathletics At the beginning of the year, all

parents paid for a Mathletics account

as part of their booklist payments. We

encourage your students to use

Mathletics at home as well as it is an

online program. Students will be able

to challenge students from all around

the world and increase their

knowledge of concepts they have

been learning at school.

To use Mathletics at home students

need to visit www.mathletics.com

and enter their username and

password. Please contact your child’s

teacher if you do not have the

username and password at home.

Maths Workshops Students from grades one through to

six will be learning about Number and

Place Value in Term One this year. This

will help build the foundational

knowledge of number that is integral

to understanding harder concepts.

Students will be completing pre-tests

to show what they already know.

They will then visit a variety of

teachers to learn with other students

at their point of need. This helps to

target the needs of students and

ensures students are learning the

next steps in their Mathematical

journey.

Prep Our prep students have begun

learning their numbers and basic

counting. When they aren’t counting,

they are learning about location,

including under, beside and next to.

Grade 5 Students in grade five have been

learning about measurement and the

many different formal and informal

ways to measure objects. They have

been focusing on estimating how

many objects make one metre.


Grade 6 students visit Woorabinda Camp Woorabinda is located in Yallourn North, on the beautiful Lake Narracan. It was the perfect setting for

our Grade 6 week long camp, which focuses on building cooperation, courtesy and consideration for others.

Over the course of the week, the students cooked their own lunch on a campfire, built rafts, went canoeing,

fed alpacas at the farm, balanced on the High Ropes, zoomed down the zip line and shot arrows at the

targets during archery. The week ended with The Quest but “ssshhhhhhhh”… The secrets of the Quest will

be kept for future students who attend this camp. Mr Emmett, Mrs Monea, Mr Davies, Yashmin and Jaye

were so impressed with the students’ behaviour and attitudes throughout the entire week. Thanks go to

Jenny Johnson and Simone Kingston for volunteering their time to help our students during camp. We all

left camp feeling exhausted but completely thrilled and grateful for all of the fun that we had.


Music Instrumental Program: Our Instrumental program has begun so if you would like your children to learn an instrument please obtain a form from the office to fill out and hand in. We are offering guitar, vocals, piano, violin, drums and some woodwind instruments.

On a sad note one of our long time teachers is stepping back from teaching piano at Tyabb. Julia Furneaux, now Johnson, has been at Tyabb for 18 years and taught many of our students successfully, some doing exams and passing well. Her contribution to the music program has been outstanding. Thank you Julia.

At this point Nathanael Furneaux is teaching piano on Tuesday mornings and hopefully will be able to take on some of Julia’s students.

Band: Monday lunchtime beginning 1:30. There has been a lot of students joining band from Grades 5 and 6 as evident at the whole school assembly. Well done to the band for their first performance playing the anthem. Great job. Keep practising.

Choir: Tuesday Lunchtime 1:30 – 2:00. This has also started. Students in grades 3-6 are welcome.

Merran Wyatt.
