Dear Glenvale Community,
Welcome back to Term 3. I hope that
everyone had a good holiday period,
and I know that the staff appreciated a
chance to recharge before launching
back into another busy term.
All of our staff attended the Special
Education Principals’ and Leaders’
Association state special education
conference in Sydney. This was a great
professional learning opportunity
where special schools present to each
other a range of the projects and
initiatives that they are developing or
implementing in their schools.
Unlike much of the professional
learning in the state, this conference
focuses on special education. It also
includes our valued learning and
support staff who usually don’t get the
opportunity for targeted days like this.
Over 1,400 teachers, leaders and
support staff from special schools and
settings around the state attended.
Thanks to staff who had an early start
and late arrival home from a long day
of work.
Back to the ongoing matter of student
health, if your child requires an
asthma management plan, epilepsy
plan or anaphylaxis plan can you
please ensure that these are prepared
and updated by your GP and returned
to the school. Some GP’s are choosing
not to use the appropriate forms, if
you can insist that would be
appreciated, but if they don’t use the
PEN forms please ensure all
information is included if they provide
it in another form. It is essential that if
we have an emergency that our staff
have the most current and in-date
health care management advice to
ensure correct procedures are
followed and that we minimise risk to
students.
Another important factor in reducing
risk and ensuring student health and
safety is that the school has at least
one primary and two additional
secondary contact phone numbers in
case of an emergency. It is a
Department of Education prerequisite
of enrolment that at least three
contact numbers are available and
working. We have had the
unfortunate and distressing situations
where the school has had to arrange
an ambulance when we have been
unable to contact any parent, relative
or carer. Please ensure that the
numbers you provide work, are able to
be answered during the school day
and that any contact listed is aware
that they are an emergency contact.
We celebrate the hand-over
presentation of our new bus this week
so there will be some photos at last
for the next newsletter in a fortnight.
The work at North Entrance campus
continues with most of the ground
clearing and cottage move complete.
We are now awaiting the
environmental assessments before
our new buildings arrive.
The Narara campus is still waiting for the installation of air-conditioning for our school hall and heating in the
student muster areas. Unfortunately all these works need to go through a centralised asset management sys-
tems which is extremely slow.
Finally, I hope that all parents and carers appreciated the new report formats that came out last term. I am al-
ways happy to get feedback.

CENTRAL COAST FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES Our grandparent peer support groups are a great way for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren to meet and get some support over a cuppa. Peer support groups meet regularly at venues across the Central Coast during school terms. We currently have 3 groups operating out of two locations on the Central Coast: Wyong SaCCs Centre - on the FIRST Friday of the month - the first group for term 3 will be on the 2nd August Erina Centre, Erina Fair - on the SECOND and LAST Friday of the month - the first group for term 3 will be on the 26th July These support groups provide a great opportunity for grandparents raising their grandchildren to meet other grandparents carers and link in with the community. Call or text Kristina on 0422 674 501 for more information. No need to register, just turn up!

Voluntary School Contributions
Every public school asks for a small contribution towards the many
costs associated with education programs.
At Glenvale, we ask that parents contribute $35 per child each year.
This has not changed for many years and is very small in compari-
son to other schools, even though our costs can be much higher.
Please consider sending in the $35 as soon as you are able to do so;
a payment can be made via our webpage www.glenvale-s.schools.nsw.edu.au. Go
to the ‘Make a Payment’ tab and follow the links.
Many thanks to those who have already done so.
All donations to the school over $2 are tax deductible as Glenvale is registered
with the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift.
Term 3
Please return permission notes and information
regarding students ASAP.
