Term 1— Issue 9
3rd April 2019
Dear Parents, We have come to end of a very busy Term 1 and I congratulate staff and students for their efforts to ensure we stared 2019 so well. Uniform Policy At the School Council meeting last Tuesday, School Council approved some modifications to the school uniform policy. This will be sent home to every family so you can read it thoroughly and we can have EVERY student in the school wearing the correct uniform. There have been a few clothes sneak into our students’ apparel that are not items of our Uniform so Term 2 will be the start of everyone wearing the correct uniform as stated in the policy. Please take note of the points below: Leggings can be worn at school but they must be navy blue and full length Shorts, skorts or dresses must be at least three quarter length to the knees –
there have been some people wearing shorts that are simply a bit too short. Head bands must be navy blue or white and be plain with no bows etc
on them Hair that is shoulder length or longer must be tied back Wrist watches and ear jewellery are the only jewellery to be worn at school.
These must be plain standard studs or plain standard sleepers ONLY. At the moment there are a number of students with studs and sleepers that are not plain. These are not permitted to be worn.
Apart from school shoes there should be no other item of the uniform that is BLACK
We take pride in our school as a school community and wearing the correct uniform is a major part of showing that pride – so please read the uniform policy when you receive it and talk it over with your children. I ask you all to ensure over the holiday break and ensure the correct items are ready for the first day of term 2.

Final Assembly We will be holding a final assembly at 12.20 on Friday to meet together and complete the term. You are most welcome to attend. Hopefully the weather is fine and we can do it outside and actually look at the Australian flag when we sing the national anthem as the flag poles have finally been returned and installed. Footy News
Oh dear – five goals up in the final quarter and lose by three goals – not a good finish to the game on Sunday. I am certainly hoping over the holidays that the Hawkers can find their mojo and get back on the winning list to have more wins than loses when we return next term. Ho Hawkers!

At Kilberry Valley Primary School, we believe that student success is dependent upon
good attendance at school. Students need to attend school regularly in order to
participate fully and gain maximum benefit from their schooling. Daily attendance
enables students to access a full education, allowing them to reach their full potential.
Students with poor patterns of attendance in primary school usually have poor patterns
in secondary school and often disengage from school. There is a direct link between
school attendance and achievement in later life. Poor attendance also makes it difficult
for children to form positive relationships with their peers therefore, we feel that regular
attendance is essential for KVPS students.
Monday 25th March — Friday 29th March
CHANGE OF CLOTHING FOR STUDENTS
We would like to remind parents to provide a change of clothing in children’s
school bags—preferably some clean underwear, track suit pants,
windcheater, shorts or a dress.
This is handy for ALL children in ALL grade levels .
We ask for your co-operation with this matter as our Sick Bay is unable to cope
with the large volume of people requiring changes of clothing.
One of our children in the school community is receiving medical
treatment which puts them at serious risk if they are exposed to
infectious illnesses, in particular: Chicken -Pox, Measles,
Mumps or Shingles.
It is also important that while your child is unwell they remain at home until they
are no longer contagious. Please let us know immediately by calling
the school office on 9702 8688.
As a school community we value your support in relation to the wellbeing of
all our students.
Any parent who wishes to help out in
our classrooms or on excursions, must provide a current Working With Childrens Card (WWCC) to the office.
On the day you come to assist, please come
through the office and sign in using the visitors kiosk you will be given a “Classroom helper Privacy Agreement” to read and sign.
Please ensure you bring your Working With
Childrens Card with you, to display in our lanyard, which you will wear while in the
classroom or on excursions.
If your child is absent from school, please ring the office on 9702 8688
before 9.30am on the morning of the absence or notify us by e-mail
