Please get your certificates written in the book before Wednesday. Chrissie will write them up. We need as much time as possible so we can laminate these certificates and get enough time to ring parents to left them know their child is being honoured. Sam and Priscilla is running the assembly.

When Jeanette is not there, Stuart, Christine and Christopher are in charge. Please ask them if you are unsure of any decision you are about to make which may be contensios.

If you are sending children home make sure they do not walk home themselves.They need a staff member to take them. Do not send a child home without telling Chrissie or Stuart first. At no time should a child be sent home by themselves without their parent being contacted first or without a note. There are no exceptions with primary kids. We are opening ourselves up for breaching duty of care if we do.

JF in Mr Lee's class is here until the end of lunch. If you teach JF please see david to look at his BMIS plan. We all need to be consistent with his care and education.

Start preparing for reporting now. Be familiar with what you will be reporting on. I suggest you start collecting evidence to make reporting judgements. Also your evidence files need to be updated. Please become familiar with the new changes. They can be found on this link. []

We got knocked back by DET to enclose the undercover area. Instead they will accept a new K-1 classroom block.

We have 125,000 for use on shade under the Rudd renewal program.This is great news I think so we get maximum value from the playground.

On Thursday, the last day of term I have invited parents to stay after the assembly to view their childrens classrooms. Please send notes out if you want to do something special with this.

AUSTRALIAN EARLY DEVELOPMENT INDEX  The Australian Early Development Index is on track to be administered in all Australian primary schools during May, June and July 2009. In early April 2009 an AEDI information pack will be delivered directly to schools from the AEDI National Support Centre. The pack will contain: a covering letter with each school’s unique 8-digit AEDI school code; a parent letter available on request in 10 common languages; an //AEDI Guide for Schools //which provides a step-by-step guide for principals; and an //AEDI Teachers’ Guide //for pre-primary teachers, which includes a training manual and an interactive CD Timing  To ensure national consistency and comparability, the AEDI collection period is between 1 May and 31 July, 2009. No AEDI checklists will be accepted after 31 July 2009. While there is a three month window to collect data, schools are encouraged to complete the checklist within two to three weeks once the data collection has started in your school.

Target students  Where possible, AEDI checklists should be completed for all students including those enrolled in special education/special needs schools and in distance education. Where there are dual placements (students attending two schools) teachers should consult with the other teacher to ensure the checklist is completed only once. The checklist should be completed by the teacher at the school where the student spends the most time.
