Dear Parents and Caregivers, We create and maintain a safe school environment by
protecting the wellbeing of our students and promoting positive relationships between students. We assist students to develop skills in recognising and responding to unsafe situations. The following information may
serve as a guide for you to discuss and reinforce this important aspect of your child’s education. Safe People, Safe Place Tips
Make sure your parents or another adult you
know, knows where you are at all times
Always walk straight home or to the place you
are going to. Walk near public areas that are busier and not isolated.
Be aware of safe places and if you ever feel
frightened go to one of these places
immediately.
Don’t talk to people you don’t know and never
get into a car with someone you don’t know.
If someone tries to grab you, yell out “Go
away, I don’t know you.” This lets people in the vicinity aware that you have been
approached by someone you do not know.
Discuss with parents other safe people you
can look for and talk to if you need help—police officers, teachers, adults you know and trust.

Canteen News
The new “Fruit and Veggie FeVer” menu has
been sent home this week. This menu supersedes any other menu. It begins next week for weeks 7, 8 and 9. From the 28th August to 13th September. The menu is filled with many homemade, tasty and nutritious meals
and snacks which include fruit and veggies. Trying something new is not always easy but if you give it a go you may find some new foods you really like. If you really can’t eat what you have ordered return the uneaten
portion, stickers and lunch bag to the canteen and we will make you a sandwich so you don’t go hungry. Every lunch order will receive 4 stickers for a chance to win a prize. All other fruit and veggie purchases receive a
sticker for each 50c spent. Come along to the canteen and see what all the excitement is about. Try something new you may love it!
Thanks Terri
