Please take a seat and admire the view! 1 Too sick for School In the first column of the front page we have included a link to information on when your child is too sick for school. It will appear in each newsletter. The Partners in Learning Feedback Survey We have only had a small number of parents complete the survey so far. This survey asks parents and carers questions about different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement. Running this survey will help our school understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at school. These include: communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted between today and 21 October.

Always wear a helmet, check your bike for safety and get on and off on the left side of your bike. Firstly, always wear a helmet for safety because they save heaps of bike riders lives. The helmet has cushioning in it for your head so when you fall over on your bike your brain and skull is not going to get damaged and shut down. Secondly, you should always check your bike before going on a ride. It’s important to check your bike because your brakes might not be working properly and when you put your brakes on they’ll not work and you will crash. Also make sure that your bike chain is on the gear and it’s oily. Lastly, it’s important that you get off on the left side of your bike. The reason why you should get off on the left side is if your bike falls on you and you’re on the right side you land on the road and you get hurt. If you get off on the left side your bike can fall on you and you’ll be safe. So at CARES I learnt a lot of things for when riding on the road. I also learnt to wear bright colours, scan and listen for cars but the most important rules of the road is always wear a helmet, check your bike before riding and get on and off on the left side of your bike. By Eliza P 5C CARES On the 12th of September 2016, Year 5 went to CARES. We learnt how to ride our bikes on the road. We learnt three things we learnt to always wear a helmet, wear bright colours and check your bike. Always wear a helmet, it protects your head. If you hit the left part of your head you won’t be able to see, if you hit the back you won’t be able to talk. Always wear bright colours. At night you need to wear bright colours or people won’t be able to see you and you will get run over. Always check your bike to make sure it all works. If you don’t check your bike you could fall and hurt yourself. Riding is fun but always wear a helmet, wear bright colours and check your bike. by Jacob B 3 SCHOOL CALENDAR The Calendar is updated each week.
