Child Safe Standards 2016 At Wembley Primary School the processes for responding to and reporting suspected child abuse are outlined in our Child Safety Policy. All teachers are mandated to report child abuse to the appropriate authorities (Child Protection or the Victoria Police). Before the end of 2016 all Staff is required to complete a Mandatory Reporting on line training module, which will inform them of their responsibilities and the process to be followed when reporting suspected abuse. All personnel working at or visiting Wembley Primary School (teachers, education support staff, parents, helpers and contractors) are required to present a current, valid Working with Children Check to the front office upon arrival. Parents are asked to ensure that their Working with Children Check is current and to present their new card (when updated) to the office for verification and copying. All teachers undergo regular Working with Children Checks and Police Checks as part of their annual Victorian Institute of Teaching Registration process. At Wembley we take our role of ensuring a safe and supportive environment for every student, seriously. We empower all students to speak up and seek support when needed and we aim to be proactive in providing timely interventions.

New Payment Option-QKR! We are excited to announce the launch of our new school payment app called QKR! (pronounced ‘quicker’) by MasterCard. This is a secure and easy way to pay for school items from your phone at a time and place that suits you.

Clubs and Activities Students are continuing to enjoy the many lunchtime clubs and activities provided at lunch times. Clubs run for 15-30 minutes and range from dance & coding to sport training & singing, and everything in between! Some clubs have changed since Term Three, so students are reminded to check the timetable sent around at the start of the week. A copy of this timetable will be in next week’s newsletter. A huge thank-you to the teachers and ES staff who support these clubs during their lunchtimes, providing students with different opportunities to engage while at school.

From the Principals

With QKR you can:

• Pay for school fees, camps, excursions and more; • Pay and order Canteen lunches with the ability to order lunches in advance; • See your receipts on the app and get them sent by email if required.

(Please note Canteen payments will appear as ‘Jude Corporation’ on your credit card/bank statement. All other payments will appear as ‘Wembley Primary School’). Please click on the QKR! page located on the Wembley PS Website for further information and tips. More information is also contained in this Newsletter. Please email: sentral@wembleyps.vic.edu.au for any assistance with QKR! Planning for 2017 Planning has commenced for the new school year and several parents have already informed the office that their child/children will not be returning to Wembley in 2017. Early notification of your intention to transfer will assist us in the finalizing our class numbers and forming the new classes. If your family will not be attending Wembley next year it would be appreciated if you could notify the office as soon as possible. Prep Transition The transition program for the 2017 Prep cohort commences next week and continues through until their first day in February next year. The program is as follows:

If you require additional information please refer to the school’s website.

Road Safety around the School A concerned neighbour telephoned the school today to report a potentially serious incident that was avoided earlier this week. While driving along a local street, at a speed well below the recommended 50kms for the area, two students from Wembley ran out in front of his car causing him to quickly brake and avoid hitting them. Upon reflection, the gentleman decided to report this situation in the hope that parents can be more vigilant with their children when they are accompanying them home from school. Safety around the school is a matter of concern for us all as our student numbers increase along with the increasing amount of traffic in the local area. Parents please take a moment to discuss road safety with your children and practise safe skills in crossing the road. Road safety is covered in the curriculum and regularly mentioned at our school assemblies. We all have a responsibility to ensure that our children are safe from harm in all situations.

Landscape Masterplan Over the last twelve months School Council has worked closely with Urban Initiatives, Landscape Architects and Urban Design Consultants, to develop a Landscape Masterplan for the redevelopment of the school grounds. Input was sought from students, teachers and parents and the Landscape Masterpan was completed and is displayed on the Community Noticeboard in the main foyer near the office. Urban Initiatives were then commissioned to develop detailed plans and tender documents for the following areas:

MR K comes to WEMBLEY The students at Wembley worked with Mr.K. last week. Year two were very fortunate to have Mr.K. in their class and as he read a text titled: ‘Ordinary Things’, by Ralph Fletcher. Then they wrote poetry in response to this wonderful text. Read on to enjoy some of the poetry they wrote.

The Owl The owl stalks his prey. In a flash he takes off like a jet and scoops up a mouse with his talons. The mouse struggles, but it’s no use. The mouse will become the owl’s dinner. The owl won this time! Jack 2E

Water Slurp, slurp. The water goes to my oesophagus, into my stomach. Water as clear as oxygen that people are breathing. I am bursting to drink water. Refreshing you, and smartening you up. Clear, refreshing. Best drink in the world. Jake 2E

Sandy Feet I see the steps of someone’s gentle feet that somehow scurried across the light sand. I sense a breeze of rushing winds as I run to the footprints to examine them closer. The mysterious scars that sat still flashed through my mind. I take a photo, in my mind, like a photographer. I love footprints. Olivia 2E

Water Fun

When I went past

on the train,

I saw these teenagers

playing in freezing

splashing water

toppling over them.

It was like

a tree

toppling over them.

I was amazed

at what

they were doing.

I wish

Dog“Roof!Roof!Roof!”Kandybarkedassheputherpawsonhereyes.Sheisasfastasmyfamily.I’mfeelinghappybecausesheisfasterandhasbeenpractisingrunningmornings,afternoons,andnights. Hamilton2E

The Girl “Walk, walk, walk.” The girl heard words in her head that made her do it. But gentle whispering goes through the forest. But then ... it stops. She peeps through the trees. there was nothing. So she peeped into a tree. And there it was ... Milla 2E

Water Time Shhhh went the water falling into the bucket. As I grab the bucket, water falls out like a waterfall. I tip the bucket on my head. It is as cold as ice. I walk into my house, grab my towel, dry myself off. And I am not cold anymore. Elizabeth 2E

Dog and Man A dog seeks a bird, and a bird seeks a dog. the dog covers his terrified eyes. He was running away while scared. He could hear the only noise ... his own footsteps. It was as silent as silence. The dog ran and the bird flew. Dog got to man, a dog’s best friend. Some fly, some run, some swim; but the guy he likes is the guy who drives. Cooper 2E

Tessa Tessa is hiding under the couch. Nobody found her for one hour. I am hungry and I want my lunch. I can’t see anybody, but I can see dog. “I found you Tessa,” says dog.

Zane

Something Appeared

As a dog was counting in hide-and-seek,’ nobody was to be seen. He was scared,worried, and lonely as somebody appeared. His heart beat was very fast. He started moving forward. And then a shadow moved towards him ... kept on moving forward.

Suddenly he realised it was his owner. They played another game of hide-and-seek until it was evening.

Vitthal 2E

The Dark Owl

As an owl glides through the sky he hoversabove a tree, searching for its prey.

He slowly lands on a tree. The owl is getting furious, so he dives down and hovers on the surface.

He spots his prey. He swoops down. He grabs his prey with his talons.

The owl flies at the speed of light. He arrives at his nest. He tears his prey. When he ate the rat he went crazy. It was likehe was going to burst.

Keilan 2E

Boysie the Dog

“Ruff, ruff! Let’s play hide-and-seek,”said Boysie. “I will countand you hide.” “Okay,” said Milla, Charlotte,Tessa, and Jemma. “Boysie, you count to ten.” “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. I am coming!” Sniff, sniff. My nose is sniffing. I found you Milla.” “I know where they are,” said Milla. “Where are they?” said Boysie. “They are behind the couch,” said Milla. “Found you Tessa, Jemma, and Charlotte!” said Boysie.

“I love you Boysie,” said Milla. “Let’s play another game,” said Tessa.

Neve

Hide-and-Seek Woof, woof. I’m going to find you. I’m counting now. Go hide!

I’m covering my eyes. I’m coming, ready or not.

Here I come. I ‘m going to find you.

They don’t know that I have 600 times better smell than people do.

Tessa 2E

The Bug and the Flower

I wonder why that ladybug is climbing that flower?

It was an extremely hot day. The ladybug was hungry and decided to eat nectar.

The ladybug went to the nearest flower. It climbed and climbed until it reached the top.

It grabbed as much as he could and took it home.

Rian 2E

Bob Bunny

“Do you know how good it feels to be his pet?”

“I am Bob Bunny,” he says. “I am as cute as a teddy, as fast as a cheetah, and as small as an ant.”

“My owner is a boy, a boy with blond hair. The boy plays with me, cuddles me, and loves me.”

Noah

Watching

Four children named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy were watching the war. “Edmund, get away from there!” said their mum. “Mummy!” said Lucy. “Oh come on Lucy,” Susan said. “Come on. Get in the hunch,” said Peter. “Father,” said Edmund, as he tried to race back to get a photograph. “Stop!” yelled Peter. “Why can’t you do as you’re told?”

Jemma 2E

Riding My Motorbike

Brum, brum, brum! As my uncle starts up my motorbike.

I felt so nervous because it was my first time, and I only have a helmet.

Then I started to get better and better.

By about the fourth time I was great.

Connor 2E

Waterfall

Mist flies into my face.

Water drops at speed, caught by rocks.

A leaf falls, and gets carried away slowly down the stream.

It’s a beautiful sight. The land is flooded with crocodiles.

Sunita 2E

An Amazing Experience As an after-school activity we learn jazz dancing at Lifestyle for Kids in Williamstown. Earlier this year we were chosen out of two hundred dancers to be part of a group of seventeen dancers to go to dance at Disneyland in Anaheim, USA.

We were the youngest dancers to go and the oldest was twenty-three.

We had to learn four dances to perform while overseas. The dances were called ‘In the Mood’, ‘Fireball’, ‘Too Darn Hot’ and ‘Disco Inferno’.

We performed twice at Disneyland, once at Universal studios, and once at Hollywood Boulevard and it was really exciting.

We were in Los Angeles for ten days.

When we weren’t dancing, we went to Disneyland and went on to all the rides.

Reporting As we move to our ongoing reporting, we see great value in seeking feedback about our practise. In Term Three we gained valuable insights into the reporting at WPS by engaging with:

• Junior School Councillors: 600+ responses • Teaching Staff: 40 responses • Parent Reporting Survey: 86 responses. • Parent Opinion Survey: 60 responses

With these four sources of input, we have been able to analyse and use this feedback to guide our actions for the future. We would like to thank all those who have contributed to the feedback, especially those with suggestions for improvement. Overall, the shift to ongoing reporting has been well received, especially by students and teachers. The purpose and overall vision “makes sense” and aligns with our mission ‘To empower all students to learn at high levels to become successful, independent, lifelong learners’. Our focus for the remainder of the year and 2017 will be to provide workshops, information sessions and online mini tutorials to support parents in the use and understanding of our systems, while also updating some options on the Parent Portal. These will be begin in November and continue into the New Year. Attendance Our Term Four, Week 3 attendance average was 93.1%. Our Annual Implementation Plan target is 95%. This is currently below our target, however you can see in the graph below that our attendance is tracking upwards after a decline at the end of Term Three and start of Term Four. While every effort should be made to attend school, we understand that sometimes children are sick or other circumstances may mean a child cannot attend school. If a child is absent, can parents or guardians please provide an explanation to the school. This can be a signed note or you may speak with the teacher. Students cannot provide their own explanation.
