SCHOOL REVIEW
Bellbridge Primary School has also completed a successful School Review (which is undertaken every four
years). The independent reviewer noted that:
Student learning was well planned and implemented using consistent and effective strategies
Student achievement in most areas was within a good range and in some cases exceeded the State
average
The SWPBS program successfully supported student welfare and wellbeing
The financial planning and management procedures were sound and supportive of the needs of students
and staff
The official School Review Report will be used to develop our next four year Strategic Plan that will begin in
2016. These reports and documents will be available on our school web page in the near future.
PARENTS GROUP
Our Parents Group continues to meet in the After School Care room after most assemblies on Monday morning
and at a craft group on Wednesday afternoon. This very generous and supportive group organised a recent
Bake Sale that raised $344.00 which will be used to purchase treats and prizes for the SWPBS Rewards Shop.
They also managed the Father’s Day Stalls which provided students with an opportunity to buy some lovely
gifts for their dads and other special men in their families.
We really appreciate the community spirit of our parent helpers!
LOST PROPERTY
We have quite a few items of clothing in our Lost Property tub which is outside the Gym. Some include
beanies, scarves, jackets and jumpers that are not part of school uniform. It would be great if parents could
encourage children to check the Lost Property tub for any personal items before the end term. Any clothing
that remains will be donated to charity.
BE SAFE & BE RESPONSIBLE: USE THE SCHOOL CROSSINGS! We have noticed an increase in the number of families who are using the School Crossing on Bellbridge Drive
– THANK YOU! Your use of the crossings reduces the risk of a possible injury or accident involving our
students and reinforces the learning about traffic safety that is undertaken in the classroom.
It also demonstrates a commitment to our SWPBS rules: ‘BE SAFE’ and ‘BE RESPONSIBLE’.
Let’s try to have all families crossing the road using the School Crossing every day.

OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS CARE
It is very important that the staff at the OSHC program are informed if your child/children are not attending the
program on the day you have booked them in, Failure to do so will result in you being charged for that day.
Please inform the coordinator at the program if you have changed your contact phone numbers or address. It is
important to have all details correct in case of an emergency and we need to get in touch with you.
As we approach the end of another term we ask that all invoices are finalised by the last day of school.
If you are running late to pick up your child/children we ask that you use your emergency contacts to help you
or you will be charged $2.00 per minute per child.
The program will be operating on the last day of school from 1.40pm.
NEW PHONE SYSTEM
Recently the school has had a new phone system installed. There are now 4 options available to direct your
call. Option 1: Absent notifications, Option 2: Out of School Hours Care, Option 3: Canteen and
Option 4: All other enquires. When you leave a message notifying the school of an absence, please state your
child’s name, their grade, the date of the absence and the reason for the absence. We are currently having
problems understanding some of the messages being left, so please ensure that you state all details in a clear
manner.
LATE ARRIVAL/EARLY LEAVERS
Any child arriving at school after 8.30am is required to attend the office, with a parent/guardian, to obtain a late
pass. If your child is leaving school early, the parent/guardian is required to send a note with their child on the
morning informing the classroom teacher of the time they will be collected and who will be collecting them.
The parent/guardian is required to sign the child out at the office, where arrangements will be made for the
child to come up to office.
ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
If your child is absent from school for any reason, we require parents/guardians to notify the school office that
they won’t be attending. When your child returns to school, a note must be given to their teacher detailing the
date and the reason for the absence.
If your child has any long term absences from school, (eg. holidays, extended illness etc) a note is required to
be given to their teacher informing them of the absence prior to them commencing the absence.
