Newsletter Term 3 week 4 BullyStoppers Initiative As part of the Bully Stoppers Program we have been working with the
Bayside City Council Youth Forum on ‘Bayside Says no to Bullying’ as an
avenue for the students to voice their concerns and discuss issues around
bullying. On Wednesday July 29th the Bayside City Council hosted a ‘Say No
to Bullying Forum’ at the Brighton Town Hall for a representative group of
years 5 and 6 students from Sandringham PS, Hampton PS, Brighton Beach
PS, Beaumaris PS, Sandringham East PS, Gardenvale PS, St. Finbars PS and
St. Agnes PS. The School Captains and the Year 5 SRC members attended the
Forum on behalf of TRBPS.
The students attended a variety of workshops to discuss the issues of bullying,
wellbeing, friendships and cyber bullying. This forum provided students with
an opportunity to actively participate in raising awareness in the local
community around the issue of bullying. Students were given time to discuss
and brainstorm strategies that can be used to address bullying in schools and
the local community. This forum was hosted by the Bayside Mayor Felicity
Frederico and students listened to and worked with various expert guest
speakers, including ‘Project Rocket’. Students gathered ideas and strategies
that they can use to promote positive behaviours back at their school and to
take a stand against bullying. The students really enjoyed the day and are
currently writing their own reflections which will feature in next week’s
newsletter. Thank you to Mrs Rachel Kushnir and Mr Peter Seddon who
accompanied the students on this day.
KidsMatter News KidsMatter is an Australian mental health and wellbeing initiative set in
primary schools and in early childhood education and care services – like
preschools, kindergartens and day care centres. It’s not a program, but a
framework that helps these places take care of all their mental health needs.
At Tucker Road Bentleigh Primary School we are at the beginning stages of
implementing this framework.
To find out more about KidsMatter, we are inviting parents to attend either
one of the briefings to be held at the school. An invitation was sent home
early this week with the eldest child in the family. Please return the reply slip
if you are attending either one of the sessions. Sessions are scheduled for
Monday August 10 at 9.30am - Parents Resource Room or September 8 at
7pm in the Hall.
Working Bee News Last Sunday morning August 2, we held a working Bee at the school under
the guidance of the BAGs team. It was very successful and those who
attended managed to complete the various work projects scheduled for this
Working Bee. Please see the report on the next page from Kel Segbedzi, the
team facilitator. Thank you to all of the families that attended to make sure
our school is always well presented and safe. Thank you to Mr Kel Segbedzi
for coordinating this event on behalf of BAGs. As I have said many times
before, we really appreciate your effort and commitment to the school.

Levelled Literacy Intervention (LLI) news and Maternity leave. On behalf of the school community I would like to wish Mrs Hope Ahern and
her husband Brent our very best wishes for the impending birth of their first
child. Hope’s final day at TRBPS will be August 7. We wish both Brent and
Hope great excitement and congratulations as they enter the next phase in their
life as parents. Best wishes Hope for the future!
The LLI program will continue to be implemented by Mrs Leonie Wallis; a
past teacher of TRBPS who has been on Family Leave. Leonie will be
working part time and will ensure that this program continues to be
implemented effectively for the remainder of the term. Leonie will work
closely with Mrs Ahern and Mrs Mehl to learn all about this literacy support
program and understand where the students are placed so she can continue to
assist their literacy progress. If you have any concerns please contact Mrs
Marie Chalas to discuss your child’s needs. Welcome back Leonie!
Have a great week!

Working Bee Thank you The working bee on Sunday 2nd of August was a well-attended affair with a
great number of essential tasks completed.
These ranged from clearing and raking of playgrounds and sandpits, mulch
general maintenance to scoping out of future works including repurposing of
the rear shelter shed and an office refurbishment. The team have identified
several other opportunities that we would like to tackle if we can similar levels
of support for the last 3 working bees of 2015.
The BAGS team would particularly like to thank the following attendees,
James Ireson, Martin Day, Andrew Lardner, Tim Ellis, David Metzke, Ronen
Saig, Eliza Bennett, Stacey Knight, Tripp Family, Diarmuid O’Malley,
