5 AUGUST 2019
Pink Class students Sam, Bronte, Jodi, Edward, Ben, Yuumi, Caelan and Anita, like the rest of the school, have had a busy start to Term 3. They participated in the “Colour Carnival” last week and received the “best dressed” award for having everyone wearing Pink! There was also great participation from all students in our class. Besides starting right in with our theme of Australian neighbours and working hard shopping, cooking and completing work skills, most students also went out to work experience last Thursday. Community Access also began on Friday. Most of Pink Class had a great time trying Mini Golf while Sam went with a group to bowling. Thank you to all parents for participating in our meetings with Suzanne in preparation for steps toward finishing school. It is also time to start recognising the achievements of our three 2019 graduates: Sam B, Jodi and Bronte. They are doing a great job of preparing for their transition to the next step in their lives.

Principal’s Message PAGE 2
Welcome to week three
Last Wednesday we conducted a
very enjoyable and successful
“Colour Carnival” at school in
which all of our students
participated in a range of physical
activities and games. The day ran
smoothly due to the preparation
and work of all staff and
additional support we received
from the students from Riverview
who assisted in setting up,
supporting the students to
participate and packing away.
The students (and staff) all
dressed in the colour of their
class and the effect was amazing.
Thank you to all of our parents
who went to great lengths to
source clothing in the colour of
their child’s class. The most
colourful class awards went to
Pink class in the seniors and
Aqua class in the primary. The
winner of the most colourful staff
member award was Mitch in Red
class. Well done and thank you to
everyone involved in this day, we
will include photos of the day in
next week’s newsletter.
Although the weather threatened
to result in our school photo day
being postponed (the
photographers were concerned
about inadequate light and
stressed students) it cooperated
enough for the photographers to
complete every group and
individual photo. Almost every
student was in full school uniform
which I know at times can be
challenging to guarantee. The
majority of our students made it to
school in time for a whole school
photo with students and staff
which is always a challenge but
always produces a great result.
Students were photographed in
their class groups and individually
and we look forward to receiving
the packages in a few weeks.
Thank you to all of our families
who have already participated in
meetings to discuss goals for
their child with the class teacher.
If you have not already done so
please contact your child’s
teacher to arrange a suitable time
for both of you to meet. If
attending a face to face meeting
is too difficult you can arrange to
have a discussion via telephone
at a mutually convenient time. We
value your input into these
meetings as our students’
progress is facilitated if we all
work together towards agreed
goals and outcomes. Following
the meeting, your child’s IEP or
ITP will be sent home for you to
read, sign and return to school.
Last week we sent home notice of
our next parent workshop which
is being conducted here at school
on Tuesday, 20 August from
10:00-11:30am. The workshop is
focusing on travel training and is
being presented by Desiree
Gallimore who has had a long
history of successfully supporting
students with disabilities to travel
safely and independently. The
workshop will cover topics such
as road crossing, using public
transport safely, risk management
including stranger awareness as
well as techniques to support
students to begin to travel in the
community as a group or, if
ready, independently. I have
placed a copy of the notice and
the flyer regarding Desiree’s
services later in this edition. If you
plan to attend please return the
RSVP slip at the bottom of the
notice for planning purposes of
delivery space and numbers of
any handouts which may be
available. Desiree has also
requested that if parents have
any specific questions regarding
travel training that they email her
prior to the workshop so she can
ensure the maximum relevance
for parents. Her email address is
dgallimore@traveltrainingsolution
s.org.
Finally, a reminder that this term on Sunday 8 September the P&C are organising a BBQ fundraiser at Bunnings. They are seeking volunteers from 7am until 4pm on the day for both the BBQ and the cake stall. As well as raising funds it is an opportunity to connect with other families. If you can’t make it on the day you can donate some cakes or slices for the cake stall and/or supplies for the BBQ! Any questions or pledges of assistance please email cromehurstpandc@gmail.com or call Karen on 0413 807 413.

Line Dancing PAGE 3
The students at Cromehurst are really enjoying Line dancing again this term. We are lucky to have Terri, a great dancer who brings her music along and teaches us lots of line dancing moves. As you can see from the photos below, everyone always has a smile on their face for line dancing and they are trying hard to copy the moves from Terri the teacher. What a great way to enjoy some fitness in school time.

P&C News
A disappointing turnout to the P&C meeting this morning but a discussion was held with those present and the notes from those discussions will be distributed shortly.
We have a couple of events coming up shortly to put in your diaries…
8 September 2019 - Bunnings BBQ
Our big fundraiser of the year is now almost a month away so please pull out your calendar and let us know what shift you can help with on the day! We need people power from 7am until 4pm on the day for both the BBQ and the cake stall. It’s always a great fun day - we raised over $3,000 last year and there’s the added bonus of getting to know some of the other families of the school - many hands = light work! If you can’t make it on the day you can always donate some goodies for the cake stall and/or supplies for the BBQ! Any questions or pledges of assistance please email cromehurstpandc@gmail.com or call Karen on 0413 807 413.
20 August - catch up after the travel training session at school
Just a heads up that a few of us plan to have coffee or a spot of lunch after the travel training session at school - please join us - always a great/informal opportunity to catch up with other families and share your experience and journeys!
Many thanks! Karen Hickmott P&C President
