SUSAN McLEAN PRESENTATION - CYBERSAFETY
Susan McLean will be our guest presenter on Thursday,
September 20th at 6.30pm. Susan is a lead expert in the field
of Cyber safety and young people. I would encourage all
parents and carers to attend this informative session. If you
use social media as a personal tool, it maybe also
advantageous to come and see if you have confidence in your
ability to comply with the Federal rules and compliances.
Please see the attached flyer in this newsletter for booking
details and place this date in your calendar, as it is an event
that all parents should attend. Students and staff will be
working with Susan throughout the day in separate sessions.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILD SAFETY
Patterson Lakes Primary School is committed to the safety and
wellbeing of all children and young people. This will be the
primary focus of our care and decision making. Patterson
Lakes Primary School has zero tolerance of child abuse.
Patterson Lakes Primary School is committed to providing a
child safe environment where children and young people are
safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions
that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the
cultural safety of Aboriginal children and those from culturally
and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety
of children with a disability.
Every person involved in Patterson Lakes Primary School has a
responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/
she plays, individually and collectively, to ensure that the
wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the
forefront of all they do and every decision they make.
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
FITNESS STATIONS
Earlier this week, seven new fitness stations have been
installed, creating a fitness trail across the back of the oval.
This has been made possible due to the fantastic support the
Student Leadership team received from our school community
through the Colour Run afternoon. We will be having a special
opening ceremony on Friday, September 14th 2018 at 2.45pm.
DISCOVERY NIGHT
Our new Foundation students for 2019, enjoyed an evening
with the current Foundation teachers last night. It was
fantastic to see so many families take the opportunity to
‘discover’ the learning spaces and activities with their children.
AMBULANCE COVER
Just a friendly reminder to parents and carers that it is strongly
encouraged for families to have up-to-date ambulance cover.
Parents should be aware that they are responsible for any
medical expenses, such as ambulance costs incurred if their
child is injured or requires an ambulance at school, or whilst
participating in a school activity.
LOST PROPERTY
With the very changeable weather we are having, there are a
vast amount of school jumpers located in the Lost Property
area. If your child is missing an item of clothing please have
them check the Lost Property and reclaim ownership!
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

In line with our SunSmart Policy - the wearing of school hats
in the playground is required from Monday 3rd September
2018 until the end of April next year.
Could you ensure your child(ren) bring their hats to school
each day, to avoid having to play in an undercover area.
Please note that we have a very limited supply
of school hats that can be purchased from the
office for $5.00, if your child has misplaced
their hat.
SUN SMART POLICY FOOTY DAY
We are holding our annual Footy Day on Friday 21st
September, the last day of Term 3.
We are inviting children to come to school wearing their
favourite team colours in support of this day and also invite
students to bring in coins to form a coin line. All proceeds
raised from the coin line will be donated to the State School
Relief and the Fight Cancer Foundation.
Thank you for your support.
MAGPIE NESTING SEASON
MAGPIE NESTING SEASON
Magpie nesting season is upon us. It is important to realise
that not all magpies swoop, and the few that do, only swoop
while chicks are in the nest – usually around 4 to 6 weeks.
A few tips to avoid being swooped are:
Stay away from the magpie area where possible, or
move through the area quickly without running.
If you walk through a magpie area, locate the bird and
watch it constantly.
Wear a hat and sunglasses or carry an umbrella.
Students who ride their bikes should dismount and
walk.
If the magpie swoops you, don’t stop or crouch down.
Move on quickly but don’t run.
A possible solution to avoid magpies swooping is to try
attaching a few cable ties on the bike helmets and have
them sticking up. The cable ties can be purchased at
Bunnings or Mitre 10.
For more information on living safely with magpies, call the
EPA Wildlife Hotline on 1300 130 372.
