“Learning Today for a BeTTer Tomorrow”
School Values: Tolerance, Excellence, Responsibility, Inclusion, Honesty, Care &Respect
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that we are past the half way mark of
first term. Our classrooms are very settled as is our school
yard. I walk around our school at most recess and lunchtime
breaks and our children generally get along really well!
Prep Picnic
It was wonderful seeing so many children and families at our
Prep picnic last night. I believe our school is a terrific place
to be and our preps have certainly developed a love for their
school. We encourage parents to become involved in our
school as much as they can.
House Captains and Vice Captains
On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to
congratulate the following students who were voted house
captains and vice-captains by their peers.
Gold House
Captains: Anthony and Jessica P
Vice Captains: Darcy and Polly
Blue House
Captains: Angelo and Shenay
Vice Captains: Michael and Priscilla
Red House
Captains: Pat and Giada
Vice Captains: Flynn and Isabelle
Green House
Captains: Marcus and Cindy
Vice Captains: Nathan and Emily
Easter Raffle
We would greatly appreciate it if parents can donate an
Easter Egg for our annual Easter raffle. Like previous years,
we are asking all parents to donate an Easter Egg which we
will put into hampers to use as prizes for our Easter raffle.
The Easter Eggs can be dropped off at the office area. The
money that we raise from the Easter raffle will be used to
upgrade school furniture throughout the school.
Raffle tickets have been distributed to all families. It
would be greatly appreciated if raffle tickets and raffle
ticket money is returned to our school.
Public Holiday
It is the Labour Day public holiday on Monday March 11 th.
Please note that our school will be closed on this day.
Parking
It is very important that everyone shows patience and
courtesy when dropping off and picking up their children.
The parking outside the front of our school is no longer a
two minute drop off zone. I believe the Brimbank Council
will re-examine the parking situation outside both our school
and the Secondary College next door.
Staff Car park
It is imperative that parents do not park their car in the staff
car park. Our car park is not a monitored safe zone for
children and I am concerned for children who walk in this
area. Our car park struggles to meet the needs of our staff
and I must insist that it is not used by parents.
2014 Prep Enrolment
I have already started doing Prep tours for prospective
parents for 2014!
It would be really helpful if parents who have a younger
child starting at our school next year to come to the office
quickly and fill out an enrolment form.
In the past two years we have been able to cater for five Prep
classes. Due to limitations of space, I cannot guarantee this
in 2014. So please get your enrolment form completed in
term 1 this year for your own piece of mind.
If you know of family or friends who are looking to enrol
their children at our school next year can I please ask that
they call the office to arrange a tour and interview with me
promptly to avoid any possibility of disappointment?
Assembly
Our school assembly will occur every Friday afternoon. If
the weather is suitable we have a whole school assembly on
the basketball court starting at 2.50. If the weather is too hot
or wet we have two assemblies in the hall. We have an upper
school assembly (Grade 3-6) beginning at 2.20 and a junior
school assembly (Prep- 2) beginning at 2.45.
Two Minute Noodles
I would like to let all parents know that we will unfortunately
not be adding boiling water for students who bring two
minute noodles to school. It is quite dangerous for the
students to walk back to class with a cup of scolding noodles
in their hands.
Regards, Chris

Mr Sevior, Mr Rayner and I were extremely proud of every
child’s effort, behaviour, positive attitude and
encouragement of each other.
Our small team of 11 swimmers and three emergencies came
4th out of nine schools (missing out on 3rd place by just one
point), which was an amazing effort.
Congratulations toThese swimmers will proceed to represent the Sydenham
District in the Keilor Division on Tuesday 12th March. The
students who qualify will be invited to the Western
Metropolitan Region Finals at Oak Park pool on Tuesday 19

Sport Monitors Semester 1, 2013
Over the past few weeks two responsible and trustworthy
students from Grades 1 to 6 were chosen as Sport Monitors.
Their roles include: set-up and pack-up equipment for
physical education classes, generalist classroom sport
sessions and fitness classes; lend classroom sport equipment,
monitor its use and return; and, maintain the equipment and
the classroom-equipment borrowing systems.
Those children were presented with an identification badge.

BRIDGES Literacy Program
The Bridges Program is an individual Literacy program
designed for students who require additional support in
literacy.
We are keen to have this program operating at Taylors Lakes
Primary School. A key factor of the BRIDGES program is
the use of volunteer tutors from our school community.
Without volunteers the program cannot be successfully
implemented.
We are looking for volunteers who could devote
approximately 30 minutes for a minimum of three days each
week. You would be required to participate in a short
training session and to hold a 'Working with Children' check.
We would then match you one-to-one with a student and
provide everything you need - all we need from you is your
time and commitment.
If you are interested in participating in this innovative
school-community reading program as a Literacy Assistant
please contact us on 9390 3388:
