After School Procedures

Students riding or walking home after school should promptly leave the school grounds and be left by no

later than 3:05pm

•

No children (school age or not) are allowed on the playground equipment (including the Prep Area and

the Prep Adventure Playground) after 3:00pm. This direction is for safety reasons as the students cannot

be supervised by staff and they are not being supervised by parents.

•



All other students will be supervised out the front in the pickup area until 3:20pm Unless prior

arrangements have been made with the teacher or the office staff, all students should be collected by no

later than 3.20pm.

•

Early Collection of Students

If you know you have an appointment or need to collect your students early, please send a note for the teacher

so the student/s can be sent to the office at the appropriate time by the teacher.

Electronic Devices (Mobile Phones, Ipods etc (stude nts) – (As per Parent Prospectus)

Children may bring electronic devices to school. They should hand them in at the office on arrival at

school and collect them at the end of the school day.

•

Children are not permitted to have electronic devices in the classroom or playground. If the need to

make a call arises during the day, students may seek their teachers’ permission to come to the office and

make a call.

•

This policy protects the learning time of all students and minimises the chance of loss or damage to

electronic devices.

•

Keep a watch on our school these holidays

Parents and students can help take care of our school by reporting any suspicious after-hours activity to School

Watch on 13 17 88. By keeping an eye out we can work together to create a safer school community and help to

reduce vandalism, theft and arson in our school. If you see something suspicious, plese don't intervene. Call the

School Watch number and let the local police or State Government Protective Security Service deal with the

matter.

This September holidays, Campbell Johnston (year 5) will be playing in a soccer team called Northern Thunder

in the Gold Coast Youth Cup Competition. This competition includes teams from all over Australia and New

Zealand. All the best Campbell!

As this is the last Newsletter before the holidays, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and

happy holidays. As Monday, 6th October is a public holiday, we will see everyone back at school on Tuesday,

7th October to commence a busy Term 4.

Curriculum Update

HOMEWORK

Term 4 Week 1-5 homework will come home on the first day of Term 4 Tuesday 7th October and will also be

available on the school website for you to download.

Term 3 homework is due this Friday 19th August as per the school website.

You can download a copy of the homework sheet from our school website homework tab.

Please be aware that although homework is not compulsory

it is imperative that children read every night to ensure success with reading

There will be minor changes occurring to the homework sheet for next term based on feedback from staff and

parents. We appreciate your patience and support during this new approach to homework.

SCHOOL WEBSITE UPDATES

Curriculum – Teaching and Learning – Reading and Spelling tab

Powerpoints have been uploaded to help you work with your children on LEM Phonics and assist in your

understanding of our school phonics program. These documents are locked for copyright reasons however the

password for our school community to use is - cranbrook

Term 4 Assessment tasks are now available for you to request.

You can now request your child’s assessment tasks for the term to support them at home. The purpose of this is

not to have your child memorise the test (as this would give a false indication of their understanding) but to allow

you to complete similar problems at home to reinforce their learning. Please click Request Assessment Tasks to

access this option.

You can now view when your child’s assessment tasks are due for Unit 3 & 6 for all subjects. Download the

relevant year level from the Testing and Assessment Term 3 tab for relevant information.

Please remember the school website is one of our major communication tools we are using to encourage

community involvement at Cranbrook State School.
