25th Anzac Day Issue 6 22nd April 2021

28th 5.30pm Principal’s Report Fathering Project It’s great to have the Eastbourne Team back together after a longer

30th break than usual. Cross Country As with all terms in schools, this term promises to have lots of exciting School Assembly things on the agenda for all our students and staff. Our school cross country will be held on Friday April 30th, NaPlan for Years 3 and 5 in early May, Year 3 (May 24th-26th) and Year 4 (May 3rd-5th) camps May will be held at the Briars and Phillip Island respectively, Mother’s Day 3rd—5th Stall and ANZAC Day arrangements are in full swing, Dementia Year 4 Camp sessions and Brain Development lessons for Year 5, Year 5/6 Puberty Education and our Whole School Social In School Performance visit, 5th are some of the things on the cards up to half way through this term. Year 5 & 6 Staff will also be involved in Cued Articulation, First Aid Training and Numeracy and Literacy Girls Football Boys Netball Professional Learning. Strap yourselves in for a great term, in a great school and another one that will challenge your 7th child and provide an awesome term of ‘lots to do and lots to learn’. Mother’s Day Stall Attendance Attendance at school is a compulsory requirement. Across the state we have an attendance issue that requires schools to spend large amounts of time and energy on an area we shouldn’t have too. Eastbourne Primary School has a number of students who are absent on a regular basis. This absenteeism impacts on their attainment of skills, their learning outcomes, friendships and social development and their ability to ‘do it tough’. I encourage all parents and families to make sure their child is attending school 5 days a week, 40 weeks a year.

Holiday Program SCHOOL’S BSB I’d like to thank the staff who worked so diligently throughout our Holiday Vacation Care Program. DETAILS FOR ONLINE We are the cheapest program going around and our staff provide a caring, challenging, interesting PAYMENTS and varied program for all students. We are currently looking for casual staff to assist with this program as some staff have either found other jobs or are moving on, many into teaching BSB 633 000 positions . If you know of someone who is trained or is training in Child or Integration Aide Care (Cert. 3 Minimum Requirement), please ask them to contact the school. We can also employ ACCOUNT 124505181 those who are in training as teachers. PLEASE USE CHILD’S SURNAME AND ANZAC Day ACTIVITY AS Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, there are still some things that are being adjusted and changed. REFERENCE The ANZAC Day ceremony is one of these celebrations that we are usually involved in. This year there will be a dawn service only which we will not be attending as a school (flowers will be presented on our school’s behalf). I encourage all students to purchase an ANZAC Day badge to support the great effort the RSL does for many members of our community. Allambi Av, Capel Sound 3939 - Ph. 5986 4884 [email protected]

APRIL Social Distancing 23rd Despite the relaxation in a number of areas regarding Covid 19, we are still encouraging Year 4 parents to drop their children at the gate. Keeping the 1.5 metre physical distancing from Camp Money Due other adults is also still a requirement at schools. Parents and family members attending assemblies and other such forms of congregation are still things we are discouraging at the 25th moment. Anzac Day
