Cooler Classrooms
I’ve read a lot of current debate regarding air-conditioning in classrooms. Many traditionalists argue that they ‘dealt with the heat’ when they were in school, therefore so should today’s generation. I beg to differ. The workload of our students and staff require optimal conditions for peak performance. We know that students who learn in a physically comfortable learning environment are much better placed to do their best work. We know that students who are achieving and demonstrating improvement in learning are more focused and therefore the opportunity for poor behaviour choices is minimised. Why am I telling you this? I need all of our Bellevue Park Families to support our next major fundraising event. Money raised from The Colour Run will go directly into the rollout of air-conditioning throughout the school. In fact, our P&C has declared that all fundraising initiatives will pay for cooling the school until the entire rollout has been completed. The Colour Run will be a blast and more importantly, you’ll be supporting your child to be active while also contributing funds towards cooler classrooms.
After School Collection of Children
Our bell rings at 2:55pm. That means that students requiring pick up should be collected at this time. If you are stuck in traffic, or running late, please call ahead and let us know. Of late, we’ve had a large number of students waiting outside and inside the office, some until 4:00pm. This poses as a safety risk as staff supervision is not provided. Please have a back-up plan and research after-school hours providers close to the school.
Didge Lessons
Every Monday, we have didge lessons at school for local men and boys. Please, if a school-age child is attending, they must be accompanied by a parent. Our session starts at 4:00pm and we finish around 5:00pm. At lunch, we have a large number of boys keen on developing their sounds through the plastic didgeridoos and I’ve been very impressed with the level of ability and perseverance shown by these students. The more the merrier, so please come if you are able.
Cyber Safety
Thank you to everyone who attended the parent cyber safety session, delivered by Ross from Internet Safe Education. We look forward to having Ross out again next year. For a library of excellent resources targeted at parents to

Positive Behaviour for Learning
Next week’s PBL focus is about learning to “use whole school play areas correctly and know
where ‘no play’ areas, quiet areas and walking zones are”. This teaching supports students to
meet our school expectations to be safe and respectful.
Signage is used around the school to mark certain zones as reminders.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
We are providing religious instruction (RI) for students in Years 1 – 6 from 8th February, 2018. Our
school will offer Connect and Beginning with God delivered by the Co-operative Religious Instruction and a representative from the Jewish community. RI will occur on Thursday afternoons at 1:55pm. Students that do not participate in RI are provided with other instruction. The information on your child’s enrolment form is used to place them in either RI or in other instruction, unless you have provided additional written advice to the school. If we do not already have clear advice from you about your child’s participation in RI please provide this to the school in writing or via email to [email protected].
