WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Bigger does not always mean better.

Smaller schools are generally better for most purposes in education. Many studies conducted during the

past 20 years have found that small schools, particularly at the primary school level, have a positive

effect upon student achievement, extra-curricular participation, student

satisfaction, student behaviour and attendance. (Small Schools and Education Outcomes )Trevor Cobbold, July 2011

Welcome to our wonderful school. It is a great place to be. Our school offers a rich

curriculum delivered by highly trained and skilled teaching and support staff.

Many small rural schools like Jugiong started life in the late 1800’s. They are at the centre of small

communities and provide a focal point for their local community.

Australia is all about the diversity that abounds in small rural communities. Small schools

provide great educational and social opportunities, which are enhanced by the high level parent

and community collaboration and involvement in our school programs and

decision making. We want you to become an active member of our school community and share in

your child’s learning adventure.

Even though we are a small school we teach the same content as every other school with the

added advantage of a family atmosphere, exceptional resources and committed staff. At JPS we

offer a small staff to student ratio which means we can give each student

individual attention. We know our students well.

Jugiong Public School is part of the Murrumboola Learning Community. Our learning partners

include Murrumburrah Public School, Binalong Public School and Murrumburrah High School. Links

with our learning partners enables us to give the children learning experiences with students of a

similar age and helps to reduce our isolation .

The introduction of video-conferencing, social media and other digital interaction is a powerful

factor in the educative process. At JPS we offer each student individual access to up to date

technology to enhance learning opportunities.

Our school is always improving. We look at ways to enhance student, staff and community learning

by evaluating what we do, looking at our results and planning programs that meet the needs of

each student.

We are in exciting times at JPS. We already have some fantastic facilities including modern

classrooms, modern technology, a well equipped library and attractive grounds. We have plans to

move towards flexible indoor and outdoor learning spaces.

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN

Our students are given opportunities to be involved in all aspects of school life and attain

exceptional results. Our results in national testing have been very pleasing with strengths in literacy

and numeracy being identified. Students take part in a range of tests and

competitions including ICASS and perform well.

We are constantly developing programs that enhance student learning:

HOW2Learn underpins all that we do at Jugiong for both the staff and students.

We are a Sporting School and offer opportunities for our students to compete in a wide variety

of sports at all levels.

A tutor from Young Regional School of Music visits each week to support our music

program. The school funds class marimba and ukulele lessons. Mr Hyde also tutors

students in private, and group guitar and keyboard lessons.

Students participate in public speaking competitions and choral eisteddfods.

We have a gardening and cooking program that has great community support.

Thank you for looking for the many benefits of a “Rural Education” at Jugiong when

choosing a school. Bigger does not always mean better.

I look forward to working with you and developing relationships that ensure all students in the

school are able to receive a quality education. We want them to reach their full potential in an

environment where learning is safe and fun.

HOW2Learn

HOW2Learn is a strategy focused on students’ capacity to learn.

HOW2Learn is not a program, but an attitude, which involves a change in school culture. It is a

way for students to learn, teachers to teach and the community to be involved in our school.

There has been a whole school focus of:

Building a growth mindset of our students

Explicitly teaching the language and dispositions of successful learners

Understanding that intelligence is grown

Students reflecting on their own learning through goal setting and using the Literacy and

Numeracy Continuums.

The HOW2Learn strategy empowers learners by developing five dispositions of

Resilience, Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Reflectiveness and Reciprocity.

Within these dispositions there are 22 habits that improve all round learning fitness.

This is an ongoing strategy in our school, which continues to embedded into all areas of

our school.

Literacy and Numeracy

The Jugiong Public School staff are committed to enhancing the literacy and numeracy skills

of all students. The school provides programs for all students including special programs to sup-

port Gifted and Talented students and those experiencing learning difficulties.

Quality Literacy

Our literacy programs are based on what used to be known as Accelerated Literacy and doesn’t

simply teach spelling, grammar and vocabulary.

It also teaches the ways of thinking that underpin what these mean. This knowledge is an essential

part of being able to decode text and therefore succeed educationally.

Through our effectively quality literacy programs we are able to awaken a sense of the 'what', the

'how', the 'when', the 'where', and ultimately the 'why', of language choices in a text.

As a result of QL teaching, our students gain control over how to put it all together

PRIME Maths

At Jugiong our mathematics program is based on specialised world-class PRIME Maths Programs

designed specifically for your child.

The students are taught different strategies for solving problems that are linked to real-world

problems.

Computers and Technology

At Jugiong Public School, computer technology and Internet access are an important part of the

information learning process.

Computers are located in each classroom and the library and other devices are also accessed

and integrated into the curriculum.

The school has modern Smart board technology and Video Conferencing facilities.

Kids Matter

Childhood is a crucial time for growing healthy minds. All children need care and support to

develop and learn. Some children need additional help to reach their potential.

KidsMatter is a mental health and wellbeing framework for primary schools and early childhood

education and care services, and is proven to make a positive difference to the lives of

Australian children.

Kids Matter will be introduced at JPS in 2017.

Sport

Sport is an important part of the school curriculum and essential to the

development and achievement of many outcomes of the PDHPE syllabus. All students

are encouraged to participate unless prevented by ill health or injury.

The school encourages and provides opportunities for all students to compete in school, District,

Regional or State organised competitions. We encourage and expect children to display a high

level of sportsmanship at all times.

JPS is part of the Sporting Schools program, an Australian Government initiative

designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport, and to connect children

with community sport.

JPS participates in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge each year.

Kitchen Garden

In 2016 JPS joined the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden scheme to introduce pleasurable

food education to the students during their learning years, in order to form positive food habits

for life. The project is new at JPS and will continue to develop over the coming years.

Project Based Learning

Project-based learning is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore

real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge.

In 2016 students at Jugiong have been involved in:

Genius Hour

During genius hour students of all levels are empowered to explore their own passions.

The ARCHIBULL Prize Program

2016 Theme: Feeding, Clothing and Powering a Hungry Nation is a Shared Responsibility

The Archibull Prize is an innovative and fun program which provides student participants with

opportunities to meet young farmers and engage in genuine farm experiences, gain knowledge

and skills about the production of the food they eat, fibres they use and the environment they live

in.

Music and Dance

Mr Rupert Hyde visits JPS each Wednesday from Young Regional School of Music.

Mr Hyde teaches each class marimbas and ukuleles. He also offers private and group

tuition in Guitar and keyboard.

School Uniform

Rationale:

A uniform dress code reinforces in students a pride in their own appearance, instils recognition

of themselves as an integral part of the school community, and assists in developing pride in

representing their school. Issues of equality, health and safety, and expense are also factors

that contribute to the establishment of the Dress Code.

Aim:

To promote equality amongst all students.

To further develop a sense of pride in, and identification with our school.

To provide durable clothing that is cost effective and practical for our school

environment.

To maintain and enhance the positive image of the school in the community.

Please find listed all items agreed by the P&C in consultation with parents for Summer and Win-

ter Uniforms.

School Routine

School commences at 9.10am.

Supervision does not officially commence until 8.50am. This is a good time for students to arrive so

that they can be ready for the start of the school day.

A bell rings at 8.40am for students to put bags away and prepare for classes. Classes commence

at 8.45am and finish at 3.15pm. Session times are as follows:

The bell is rung 5 minutes prior to the end of recess and the end of lunch. This is to remind

children to pack up equipment, go to the toilet, wash their hands, get a drink and line

up ready to begin learning. This eliminates interruptions during lessons and prevents

students from being late to class.

Student Safety

The end of the school day is a busy time. Some students are collected by parents/guardians, some

ride bikes, some travel by school bus and some walk. Regardless of how your child travels to and

from school, it is important that they do so safely.

Whilst schools supervise students during school hours and on school grounds, parents/guardians

have responsibility for the care and supervision of students exiting the school and travelling from the

school at the end of the day.

For safety reasons, parents are asked not to drive into the staff parking area .

Students should be dropped off and collected at the bottom gate.

Enrolment Requirements In NSW public schools, children may commence Kindergarten at the beginning of the school

year, if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law all children must start school by

their sixth birthday.

Students are allocated to public schools according to the zone they live in and should attend

their local school. Before considering an alternate school parents should contact the local

school principal to discuss enrolment possibilities.

Students transferring from other NSW schools are placed in their current grades. Interstate pu-

pils are enrolled in the grade appropriate to their chronological age.

Birth Certificates

When enrolling Kindergarten children (or Yr 1 to Yr 6 children from interstate) an original Birth

Certificate or current passport is mandatory for verification of date of birth and correct

name. The name used on school records is the same as that recorded on the child’s Birth

Certificate. This is a requirement through schooling to tertiary education. If you wish to know

more about name changes, a Department of Education Legal Bulletin is available at the of-

fice.

Immunisation Records

Immunisation records are requested for students beginning in Kindergarten. Please advise the

office staff if your child has not been through the immunisation process).

In line with the Department of Education’s privacy policy, knowledge and information about

children and families is respected by the school and kept private.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a crucial year for all children so we have structured a comprehensive transition

program and plan for students in their first year at school.

This includes:

Three orientation days for students to attend in Term 4.

Additional orientation days as needed.

Specific Programs to support student learning.

Best Start assessment in literacy and numeracy during the first week of Term 1 allowing

teachers to develop individual programs for the students as they start school.

Parents are also interviewed to enable us to gather as much information as possible

about ways we can support and motivate your child.

Parent Involvement

Parents are strongly encouraged to:

Be involved in classroom reading , creative arts, sport and support programs

Become members of the P&C

Be connected with our school community

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN

Parents and Citizens Association

Our school P & C is a vital organisation in our school and we urge you to join or

become involved in P & C activities. The association plays an active role in decision making

and school planning as well as undertaking fundraising aimed at improving learning

opportunities for our students. Their efforts in recent years have seen support of learning

programs through extra staffing, funding Footsteps Dance, the provision of technology,

classroom resources, direct student subsidies for excursions, blinds in the primary classroom

and many other kinds of support.

The P & C is a vibrant and passionate community of parents who play an important role in

supporting the school principal, teachers and non‐ teaching staff to make our school an

inspiring and creative place for our children. If you want to know what's going on in the

school, if you have an issue to raise, or if you have the seed of an idea you would like to plant,

come along to a meeting. It is an exciting time for Jugiong Public School with many initiatives

in the pipeline.

Absences

If your child is absent from school for any reason, you are required by Law to advise the school

in writing of the date/s and reason for absence. A note explaining the absence must

accompany the child on his/her return to school. Long term planned absences should be

advised in writing, in advance. If your child is ill and will be absent for more than a few days

please advise the school.

Home Reading

Regular reading at home is vital to a student’s progress in literacy. Each day the students read

to parent volunteers and then take the book home to read with their parents. The book is then

returned and the system is repeated.

School Library and Computer Technology

Our library is filled with a huge range of wonderful books to whet the appetite of readers of all

interests and abilities. All classes have at least one library session per week. Library bags are

needed for the children to borrow books.

Computer Technology lessons occur each week for all classes. The children learn basic

computer skills through to more complex presentations. All computers are linked to the internet

and both classes have their own computers also linked to the internet.

Assemblies

Whole school assemblies are held on three times a term in the school hall. Each class is given

the opportunity throughout the year to conduct their own assembly and they usually present a

specially organised performance. Students are invariably very enthusiastic about their class

assemblies and put a lot of thought and effort into their preparation and performances.

Scripture

Special Religious Education (SRE) is provided in public schools throughout NSW by authorised

representatives of approved religious groups.

Combined SRE classes are currently provided at our school each Thursday morning.

Non‐Scripture activities are available for students when requested.

Excursions

The school has a program of excursions for students as they progress from Kindergarten through

to Year 6. These experiences form an integral aspect of the curriculum and are always enjoyed

by the children.

General Information

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN

Student Health and Well being

If your child has a condition which may require special or emergency treatment (eg medical

problems or serious allergies) please make sure you inform us upon enrolment or by contacting

the school to enable a Health Care Plan to be formulated.

Prescribed Medication

Students should not carry medication with them or in their bags (other than asthma

puffers – see below). In general, medication is not administered by school staff unless it is

prescription medicine. Should your child require regular prescribed medication to be

administered at school for a chronic or ongoing condition, there are policy procedures that

need to be followed. Please contact the school should you need more information about this.

Regular Prescribed Medication

Meetings are arranged between parent/caregiver and the school to discuss

requirements. Paperwork is then completed, accompanied by a letter from doctor with details

of condition, prescribed medication and dosage. If medication dosage changes from time

to time, the change must be advised to the school in writing.

Asthmatics

Some students carry their Ventolin/other puffers in their bag and this is permitted by

Department of Education & Community. Some parents prefer to leave a puffer in the school

office for their child’s emergency/ intermittent use.

Anaphylaxis

Parents must inform the school if a child suffers from anaphylaxis so a school management plan

can be drawn up to ensure availability of Epipens.

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN

Code of Cooperation

The code of cooperation at Jugiong Public School outlines some unique principles and

practices as developed at this school in response to our particular needs.

Basic Principles

The following are the principles on which the JPS Code of Cooperation is based:

Students are increasingly responsible for their own behaviour.

All behaviours have consequences.

Students have a right to learn in a safe and orderly environment.

Students learn and behave well when they experience success in the school

environment.

Student behaviour is the joint responsibility of parents and teachers.

Some students need an individual behaviour plan if their behaviour is to be changed.

School and Classroom Code of Cooperation

Our classroom and school code of co-operation is negotiated and developed with, and

agreed to by the students at the beginning of each year. Each classroom conducts

regular reflection meetings.

Rewards and Consequences

A range of strategies and rewards is used to highlight positive behaviour. Eg assembly awards.

The following consequences have been developed:

Reminder – comment on the behaviour and associated class/playground rule.

Warning – relate the behaviour, rule and consequences should the behaviour continue.

Reflection time.

Discipline Meetings – to include appropriate teachers and parents and other

persons as necessary.

Exclusion – suspension or expulsion as outlined in NSW DOE policies and

guidelines.

At all times it should be stressed that the first priority is to discourage unacceptable behaviour by

highlighting acceptable good behaviour, eliminating situations where unacceptable behaviour

might occur and providing programs which teach understanding, processes and skills that lead

to acceptable behaviour.

Teachers, parents and students deal with unacceptable behaviours by using specially designed

processes in a consistent, systematic and cooperative way.

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN

Our School’s obligations under duty of care and under various pieces of legislation require that all rel-

evant staff (including executive, teaching and non-teaching staff, part-time, temporary and casual

staff) be appropriately trained, including:

reinforcing the School Child Protection Policy and the Staff Code of Conduct;

raising their awareness of child protection issues (recognising child abuse and neglect);

advising staff of their statutory obligations under the School policy and provide guidelines for appropri-

aand inappropriate behaviour;

• ensuring all staff have participated in an initial child protection induction and annual updates;

• ensuring all staff are aware of the indicators of abuse and neglect of children and young people;

ensuring all staff are aware of their obligation to advise the principal or workplace manager of

concerns about the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children and young people that arise dur-

ing the course of their work;.

Working With Children Check

In accordance with the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012, the safety, welfare and

well-being of children and, in particular protecting them from child abuse, is the paramount

consideration of this school.

The Working with Children Check is an important part of the NSW Department of Education's

recruitment process to prevent people who pose a risk to the safety, welfare and well-being of chil-

dren from being employed or engaged in child-related work. All workers must obtain a WWCC

clearance prior to commencing in a child-related role.

Volunteers

The vast majority of volunteers in schools are parents of a child attending the school at which they are

volunteering.

Most parent volunteers coming into the school are exempt from obtaining a WWCC clearance,

regardless of the volunteering activity they are undertaking or the length of time the activity takes.

All parent volunteers are required to complete complete an appendix 5 form (which can be found on

the school website under policies) and provide 100 points of ID.

Evidence of this must be given to the school .

School Communication

The Jugiong Journal, our weekly newsletter, is emailed to a nominated address. Copies are also

available at the BP service station. This contains important information regarding school events,

as well as items of interest and news. A calendar of upcoming events is also included for your

reference. Please read The Jugiong Journal regularly to ensure that you are informed about

school activities and other important information. The newsletter is also available on our school

website www.jugiong‐p.schools.nsw.edu.au (or Google Jugiong Public School) . The school is
