NEWSLETTER
Dear Parents,
GOLDEN BAY YEAR SIX STUDY TOUR
The year six students continue to share stories about their fabulous experiences
following their Study Tour of Canberra last week.
Russell, Stewart and Deb were very impressed with the students and their thirst for
knowledge, amazing enthusiasm as they engaged with a large variety of places
people and experiences, and how they conducted themselves at all times as young
ambassadors of our school.
Deb is creating a CD with many fabulous pictures taken over the five days away.
SOCCER GOALS
A huge thank you from our kindergarten and Pre-primary students for the new
soccer goals donated by Jeshika and Anish Chand. Our younger students will get
hours of enjoyment from having this new addition to their play area.
BOTANY CLUB
Congratulations to our young Golden Bay Primary School Botanists who are focusing
on sustainable coastal care and Aboriginal Heritage.
Eighteen students from years four and five are currently working with Craig Wilson
from Perth NRM’s Coastcare Program and Sara Metalli (parent and Environmental
Scientist).
Our students are currently identifying and sorting plant samples that were collected
from our local coastline at the end of last year. The samples are being stored in a
herbarium in order to provide a reference for local coastal plant species.
The Botany Club will be setting up a greenhouse at the school and will learn how to
propagate and grow plants for re-vegetation of coastal dunes. In the future there
will be tree planting days at the school and at the local beach.
A recent visit to our dunes saw students checking for changes to the area and
observing significant re-growth of native species following the recent fires. This
was followed by a visit to the Rockingham Men in Trees Plant Nursery to see how
plants are propagated and grown from seeds.

School Car Parks
Thanks to all those parents using the
Tangadee Road and Arizona Parade car
parks. For safety reasons I allocated the
car park at the front of the school on
Thundelarra Drive as a ‘Staff Only’ car
park. A number of families cross the car
park drive area at the start and finish of
school.
I respectfully ask that parents not use this
car park unless they have a child with a
disability requiring close parking.

Positive Behaviour Support
The staff and students are continuing with the implementation of Positive Behaviour Support at Golden Bay Primary School. The Behaviour
Expectations Matrix has been completed and is on display in all learning areas. The next stage involves developing a series of lessons to
explicitly teach and model the behaviour expectations from the
Behaviour Matrix. These lessons will be taught at point of need and will be repeated and reinforced throughout the year, with the expectation that repetition will build fluency. The lessons are adaptable for all age groups from Kindy to Year 6 and will develop a common approach to behaviour support for our school community.
We have provided several new activities and resources to engage
students purposefully and positively during lunch and recess breaks. These activities will occur on a rotational basis and will include: trikes and scooters, dolls, dress-ups, lego, toy cars, trampolines and a giant size chess set.
More activities have been planned for the near future. These activities will encourage students to engage in meaningful play, and develop the values of excellence, respect and integrity in all aspects of their day.

IMMUNISATON
It is a requirement by the Education Department to receive all immun-isation records
from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) print out. This can be obtained by calling 1800653809.
If your child’s immunisations are not recorded on ACIR it may affect your family payments.
An immunisation provider will assist children not up–to-date or vaccinat-ed overseas to receive
the correct scheduled vaccinations and have their records put on ACIR.
The nurses at the immunisation clinic at Kwinana Community Health 94192266 can also provide this service.
Please ring and book an appointment.

Program Update
Dear Parents and Children.
Welcome back to all our OSHClub family we hope you all had a wonderful holiday break!
Term 2 is well underway and so is our exciting new program at OSHClub, we are still welcoming lots
of new faces into our OSHClub family and are excited for many more to come along and join in with
all the fun we are having before and after school!
A reminder that enrolling you child or children in OSHCLUB is easy and free. All you need to do is
complete an enrolment form on line at www.OSHCLUB.com.au where you will have the option of
booking as either permanent or casual user. I believe this to be beneficial for all families as once
your child is enrolled you then have the comfort of knowing the program is available to you
anytime should any unforeseen circumstance arise. It also gives you the assurance that your child
or children will be cared for in safe, warm and friendly environment.
Please drop in and say Hello in Teaching Block 4
Opening hours are 7am to 9.00am and 2.15pm to 6pm.
We are currently updating our records and enrolments so there may be some forms that we need to
update and have parents sign over the next few weeks.
Also our lost property box is starting to over flow, so if your child is missing a hat or jacket feel free to
pop into Block 4 and have a look through if your child is missing an item.
RECYCLABLES WANTED
If you have any recyclable items laying around the house that could be used in our construction cre-
ating, feel free to drop them off at block 4. These items can include egg cartons, boxes, bottles, jars,
newspaper etc.
