Life EducationHealthy Harold will be visiting us in the Life Education
Mobile Classroom this term on Tuesday 22 September
(Week 10). Life Education provides a unique learning
experience for children instilling in them the skills needed
to make informed decisions about their health and
wellbeing.
This is a very valuable program and an important part of
our Personal Development and Health studies each year.
Our P&C has happily offered to again
subsidise the cost of the program
which is $10. The cost will therefore
be $5 per child. Hopefully this has
made it more affordable for all
students to attend. Please complete
the attached permission note and return it with the $5
payment by Friday 18 September. Students may purchase
Harold Merchandise if they choose by ordering directly
from the website:
https://www.lifeeducation.org.au/shop/
School PhotosMonday 21 September (Week 10) is the scheduled day
for our 2020 school photos.
Photos envelopes were sent home earlier this year and
will need to be returned to the office by Wednesday 16
September. If you require a new
envelope please let the office know
before Wednesday 16 September.
School Plan 2020-2022As part of developing our brand new Strategic
Improvement Plan, which will commence next year,
we would love to have some feedback from our school
community about your ideas and opinions. We have
decided to enable this in two ways.
1. A Tell Them from Me Parent Survey, which is supported
by the Department of Education, and can be accessed
through the following link:
http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/bps1361
This special link is for Broadwater Public School families
ONLY. This survey will take about 20 minutes to complete
(it is quite detailed with a few open-ended questions
at its conclusion that staff have written. The survey is
anonymous to staff at the school.
2. Additionally, staff have randomly selected twelve
students (two from each grade) whose parents will be
phoned next week (by office staff) and asked to complete a
short 4 question survey about our school over the phone.

You are not obliged to participate, but we would really
appreciate if parents could support us in this endeavour. We
would love to hear your thoughts- positive or negative.
Today’s newsletter has the questions outlined (see back
page), with some spaces which parents might use to jot
down some thoughts, just in case you have been selected
for a phone call.
Any parent who does not receive a phone call next week are
certainly most welcome to complete the survey page and
return it to school just the same. A big thanks in anticipation!
MagpiesFor our students and families who walk or ride to school,
please be aware that there is a
magpie which has been swooping
people in the lane leading to the
school carpark in recent weeks.
A reminder to all students
to not stir or provoke the wildlife.
