BUZ (Build Up Zone)
Thornlie Primary School is now a BUZ school! BUZ Life Skills is a proactive, wholesome approach that enables children to develop emotional and social well being.
Students in Rooms 4, 5 and 6 have participated in a 3 hour BUZ Feel Safe Feel Right program to help them develop their Protective Behaviours. They will learn valuable principles like:
Sometimes children don’t know why they feel unsafe or not right or don’t know how to ask for help when they do. So, each child doing Feel Safe Feel Right has been given a red ladybug help card to help them to “get help and tell someone” they know and trust.
For more information, see Mrs Thomas (Chaplain).
www.buildupzone.com
- “Everyone has the right to feel safe and be respected” - “One thing 'worries' don’t like is being talked about, it makes them go away.” - “Find people you trust that you can talk about the things that wor-ry you.” - “If something doesn’t feel right it is best not to do it - talk to some-one you trust.” - “Nothing is so terrible that you can’t tell someone about it.” - “Your body has private parts – no one has the right to touch them unless they are helping you with a problem, but only with your per-mission” - “It is important to say NO to someone when”;
They are not treating you properly They are scaring or threatening you They touch you in a way that isn't right or you don’t like
They are teasing or hurting you or someone you love

Thornlie Primary School
School Board Nomination Form
Why does Thornlie Primary School have a School Board? Thornlie Primary School is an Independent Public School (IPS). An IPS is a Public School where the Principal has been given increased flexibility and responsibility to make local decisions across a range of school operations to enhance education outcomes for Students. Principals of Independent Public Schools establish a School Board who represent the school community. Establishing a Board is an opportunity to attract a broader cross-section of people with a range of experiences and expertise. Strong community and business representation ensures the Board can make an even more significant contribution to the development of the school. What is the purpose of a School Board?
Work with the Principal and their communities to achieve the best outcomes for Students.
Provide a broad range of experience, advice and expertise to the Principal, and participate in key decisions as listed below in the policy making, enforcing and reporting of the school.
Promote the school to the community.
