Term 1 – Week 8 – Notices

We would like to thank all of the parents who attended the 3-6 and ELC morning teas. It was great to engage more with you and to be able to talk with you and answer and questions you may have.

Continuing the discussion we had around our Key Reward system, we would like to share the next key which is the ‘Others’ key. This is where we reward the children in developing their ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. The image below shows what we encourage them to do to gain signatures towards this key.

Well done to all of the students who have taken part in NAPLAN over the last week. We are very close to finishing and we have been delighted with the way the students have applied themselves during this stressful time.

Over the last week or so, we have started to see a number of students who feeling unwell and need to go home. Can we ask that, if your child is unwell, that you keep them home so that they can make a full recovery and we can prevent any bugs being passed on to other students.

Many thanks,

Hannah Lockwood-Jones & Andrew Johnston

The 3 – 6 swimming carnival was a huge success last week. Congratulations to all of the students who competed and a special congratulations to the winning house, Timae.

As always, these events wouldn’t run smoothly if it wasn’t for the support of our community, so a huge thank you to all who supported us on the day.

 

3- 6 Parent Morning Tea

It was great to have some of you in the village for morning tea today and to be able to discuss the Key reward system that we use to reward students in school. One of the big takeaways was how you, as parents feel that you can also use this at home to support and develop your child, and by this being shared at home and school, there will be a common language shared.

Over the next few weeks, we will share one of our keys with some examples of what we are looking for in the students in order to reward them.

This week we will start with the ‘Me’ key. This is where we want the children to understand their feelings and recognise their strengths and gifts. The image below shows examples of how they would show this.

 

School Worship -A Night of Giving Thanks

Please join us for our whole school Worship at the Carramar Sports and Learning Centre on Tuesday 4 April. This is an opportunity to gather as a whole school and give thanks for all that takes place in and through our school. We encourage you to attend.

Please join us after Worship this Friday for a morning tea. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and for you to meet the leadership team. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

 

ELC Swim Carnival

The ELC swim carnival is taking place this term. For this event to go ahead we are needing parent helpers to be in the water assisting with activities and to ensure that we meet the student / adult ratio requirements needed. If you able to help out on this day, please can you put your name down on the helpers list located at reception.

 

Harmony Day – 17 March

Across the Primary School, ELC and 3-6 we will be celebrating Harmony Day. Each student can wear something that represents their cultural background or something orange. Harmony Day is a very special day where we celebrate the rich and diverse community we have here at St Stephen’s School.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

Term 1 – Week 6 – Notices

We hope you were all able to enjoy a wonderful long weekend. We were certainly blessed with great weather.

The Scholastic Book Fair has started today at 3-6. We encourage you to come and have a look at some of the fantastic books and goodies you can purchase before and after school. Students can also access it doing lunch times.

The students in Years 3 – 6 are eagerly anticipating the swimming carnival on Friday at Craigie Leisure Centre. We look forward to seeing many of you there as you cheer your children on and support the community. Please ensure your child has all of their food, lots of water for the day as well as sun cream. Please also note that, although we have predicted finishing time for the swimming, it is possible that we may finish slightly earlier or later, depending on how the day runs. Once we have finished, the students will return to school by bus. However, if you would like to take your child home from the leisure centre after the carnival has concluded, you are very welcome. Your child’s classroom teacher will have a class list and you can sign them out from there. Please note that you will only be able to sign out your child. If you have planned to take another child home, we will need to have received written permission from their parent prior to the event. Equally, if your plan is to come to the leisure centre at the end of the carnival to take your child home, please be aware that, when we finish, we will return to school, which could be earlier or later than estimated.

Over the last few weeks there have been a number of concerns raised by staff and parents about the use of playgrounds after school hours. Our playgrounds are specifically designed for students of a particular age range in that location. Some of the apparatus is not created for very young or much older children. We ask that any child playing on the playground before or after school, must at all times be supervised by an adult. Outside of school hours the students must use the playgrounds respectably and safely. Areas that are clearly marked as out of bounds or any school equipment that has been packed away by staff are not to be used by the children. If we are unable to ensure the safety of students on our ELC and 3-6 playgrounds before and after school, we will be forced to close the areas after school. Please support us in keeping all students safe.

27 February – 2 March – Parent Teacher Interviews

3 March – 5MF Assembly

 

Parent interviews 

This week at the ELC and 3-6 parent meetings taking place. The meetings are an opportunity to speak with the teacher to see how your child is settling into their new class. Due to the high number of meetings taking place, time is limited. Please support our staff and others in the community by ensuring that you keep to your meeting time. If meeting time over runs, it will impact others and staff managing this load.

 

Signing in and out

Just a reminder for all parents and guardians, can you please ensure students are signed in at the Primary office by a parent/guardian when arriving late to school or leaving early. Students of a Primary age are not to permitted to sign themselves in or out.

 

Students in our community

We have been contacted by Glengarry Primary School over concerns at the speed which some of our students are cycling past their school. A student was almost knocked down by a speeding bike late last week. If your child cycles to school, please talked to them about safe speeds and cycling especially around school and pedestrian heavy areas.

 

As we approach the long weekend and the mid-point in our term, we wish you best wishes for the week and a relaxing long weekend.

 

Hannah Lockwood-Jones & Andrew Johnston

Term 1 – Week 4 – Notices

Welcome to week 4,

Last week felt like we had well and truly got into the swing of the year and it was really great seeing the students all settled and really engaged in their learning across all year groups.

In some year groups, we did see several students who were unwell and either took time away from school or ended up going home at some point. We would like to encourage all of you to stay at home if you are unwell, not only to ensure that you can get better quickly but also to avoid others becoming unwell too. We know coming to school is important, but being well and staying safe always comes first.

Below is a list of the things that are going on throughout this week, but we would also like to notify you that the parent / teacher interview slots are open so you are able to book a time to talk with your child’s teacher about how they are settling into the year and discuss opportunities and targets for them moving forward.

Week ahead:

ELC

21 February – K-2 Music Incursion, ‘Walking in the Wilderness’

24 February – Kindy Picnic & Rainbow Day

24 February – 2K Assembly

3-6

21 February – Musica Viva Concert

ELC – Pre Primary playground

Our Pre Primary and Kindy parents will be aware that the fencing surrounding our new playground has come down. All parents are able to use the Pre Primary gate to enter the school now that the fencing has been removed. In place of the fencing,  tape has been set up to cordon off the area. The playground is very close to opening but have some final elements that need to be added and completed. We kindly ask that you do not let your children play on the playground before and after school whilst further work is carried out. Thank you for your continued support.

ELC – Footwear labels

At the ELC the students have the opportunity to take their shoes off. It is beneficial for them to play in water creek, walk and run barefooted, feeling and navigating different terrains.

Whilst we love the children taking their shoes off, occasionally we miss place our shoes! To assist us in ensuring that the right shoes and socks go home with the right owner, can you please ensure that you label both shoes and socks.

Many thanks for all your support on behalf of the ELC staff.

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day

In recent years, we have received some feedback from you regarding these events. The main concerns raised have been relating to the time of day these events run, and the challenge parents have attending 2 events if they have children in both ELC and 3-6.

After careful consideration and in alignment with our Carramar campus, we have made some adjustments to the way we celebrate our special celebration days. Firstly, we will aim to rotate the times of these events each year. This year’s event will take place in the morning and next years in the afternoon. The second change is that we will no longer hold two events at both the ELC and 3-6. We will continue to acknowledge these events/celebrations with all students participating in activities in their class. There will be one community event for ELC families at the ELC. At 3-6, a class will acknowledge these celebrations in their assembly.

Further information around upcoming events and activities will be posted on the class and Primary blogs.

Blessings,

Andrew Johnston and Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Parent Interviews Week 5 Feb 2023 (PP – 6)

Term 1 – Week 3 – Notices

We hope this blog post finds you all settled into the new school year.

The year has started well. Over the last week, our students in Year 2 had a wonderful Science incursion. They had an opportunity to participate in lots of hands-on experiments and explore forces and movement as they research for their inquiry. Our Year 5 students took part in a band demo, with lots of fun and excitement as the instruments were demonstrated by Year 6 and high school students. Across the other year levels, the students are settling well into their classes.

It is wonderful to see the school community reaching out to our new families. Please continue to extend a warm welcome to them all and introduce yourself and your family. Moving schools can be an emotional time, but this can be greatly eased when new friendships and connections are quickly made.

Please take note of some things happening this week:-

ELC:

Wednesday 15 Feb – Pre-Kindy Photo Day & Catch Up Photos

Friday 17 Feb – Worship

3-6:

A message from Mr Parker;

Dear Year 5 and 6 Parents

I regret to inform that due to unforeseen circumstances, surfing lessons for year 5 and 6 students have been rescheduled for later dates in term 1. Surfing dates will now be as follows;

Year 6 – Tuesday 14 March to Friday 17 March (week 7)

Year 5 – Monday 27 March to Thursday 30 March (week 9)

Lesson times are yet to be determined and will be communicated when complete.

The delay is certainly disappointing, however it may give some students a bit of extra time to master their cutbacks or tube riding.

Parent Interviews

In Week 5 there is an opportunity for you to meet with your child’s teacher and discuss how they are settling into their new class. Parent meetings can be organised face to face or online through TEAM’s. Meetings are set to 10 minutes to ensure that all parents have the opportunity to meet with the teacher. This is a busy period for our teaching staff and we ask that you work with us in keeping these meetings on time. If you do require a longer meeting, please contact the teacher. You will shortly be notified as to when the online booking system will be available.

Service Learning

At our 3-6 Worship assembly this Monday morning, Mr Steven reminded us of the significance of our school motto – Serve God, Serve One Another. We reflected on the importance of caring for one another, our wider community and those in need further afield. As a community we were encouraged to look for ways in which we can help those around us and serve in different areas to make a positive impact on others. St Stephen’s School strives to grow students awareness of others needs and grow our empathy for others. We are fortunate to be active in several Service Learning opportunities as a school which are greatly supported by you our families, and the local community. Our hope as a school is that our students will continue to serve when they leave the school and be the impact of positive change in our world.

“This is my commandment: love each other just as I have loved you.” John 15:12

Kind regards,

Hannah Lockwood-Jones & Andrew Johnston

St Stephen’s Primary – World’s Greatest Shave 2023

 

There are many worthwhile causes to support throughout the year and this is one that I would like to draw attention to. In 2014, my then three year old daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia. Thanks to a privileged medical system and God’s mercy, my daughter is now fit and well. She is in her sixth year since treatment finished and her recovery has been very positive.

Throughout that treatment period and even beyond, the support for families dealing with blood cancers has been amazing. Fundraising initiatives like the Greatest Shave helped our family through a difficult time of our lives. We are extremely grateful to all of the selfless people who have generously given to this cause.

 

To further the cause, I would like to support the World’s Greatest Shave at St Stephen’s School. For those interested in supporting this fundraising effort, these are the details…

  1. Our Greatest Shave Day will be held on Wednesday 5  April(second last day of term 1)
  2. Participating on the day can be done in the following ways
  1. Register online with parent permission (parents please email me at daniel.parker@ststephens.w.aedu.au to express consent), fundraise and then have hair shaved or cut (you must be registered and have sent in parental permission and fundraised to do the shave or cut)(some students like to participate by cutting off their pony tail)
  2. Don’t register online, but still colour your hair at home or wear a wig and then bring a donation on the day
  1. Students/staff/parents can support by giving online or registering as a participant at the link below

st Stephens School 2023 | World’s Greatest Shave | Leukaemia Foundation

*Under the red box saying “donate our team”, in little text it says “sign up and join our team” – click on that to join.

 

I am fully aware that there are many worthwhile causes to support, so please do not feel any obligation to give to this fundraising, but of course we welcome it if you are willing and able.

Year 3 & 5 NAPLAN INFORMATION:

 

Parents and carers of Year 3 and 5 students please be aware that tomorrow, Tuesday 14 February your child will bring home an information brochure regarding NAPLAN 2023. Please make sure you receive this from your child and if you have any questions, please contact Mr Johnston, or visit nap.edu.au.

 

A full timetable of test dates will be sent out closer to the testing time to enable you to advise any music tutors and specialists so that lessons can be rearranged.

 

Term 1 – Week 2 – Notices

Welcome to Week 2,

A big thank you to all the families that came along to the parent information session last Wednesday. It was great to have the whole 3-6 community together and to be able to pass on the information collectively in one night.

We have received some really positive feedback from the evening and we are grateful for all of you that have reached out to share your thoughts on the way it was run, which was different to previous years. As ever, we are reflecting on how it went with a view to making things even smoother for next year and we welcome any feedback, positive or constructive you may have.

Last week, we noticed that there were some issues at the end of the school day in relation to congestion in the school driveway with cars queuing for the kiss and ride and blocking the exit road from the school.

We understand that the layout is difficult, especially as there are parents collecting students from the secondary school as well but ask that you could please avoid blocking the drive by waiting at the appropriate place on the turning circle. There is signage there to direct you if you are unsure.

A gentle reminder that tomorrow is photo day for years 3-6. Please ensure your child comes to school in their formal uniform and not the PE uniform with the exception of 6O & 6L who will have the opportunity to change into their formal uniform before their photos.

Here’s a look at the week ahead:

8 February          Yr2 ‘Science Alive’ Show on Push/Pull Forces

10 February        K-2 School Photo Day

Wishing you all the best for the week ahead.
