Week 7 Term 2 2009

Currently there are only two confirmed cases of H1N1 (Human Swine Influenza) in Western Australia. Information from the Department of Health has changed some of the requirements of schools. The following advice is effective from Thursday 4 June 2009:  ·  Victoria has been added to the list of places of concern (Mexico, USA, Canada, Japan and Panama) regarding H1N1. Students and school-based staff who have recently returned to Western Australia from Victoria will be asked by the principal to voluntarily stay away from school for a period of seven days from the date of their return. Staff and students who returned from Victoria before 4 June can continue at school.  ·  Students and staff who have been in contact with people who have just returned from a country of concern or Victoria will no longer be subject to the voluntary period of exclusion.  ·  Students and school-based staff who are currently on voluntary exclusion due to contact with a person who has recently returned from a country of concern (as per advice last week) are to be contacted by the principal and asked to return to school as soon as practical.  ·  <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">All student and school-based staff excursions and work-related trips to Victoria or countries of concern will cease until further notice. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">· <span style="font-size: 7pt; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Principals of schools with students or staff coming to visit from Victoria need to advise the exchange organisers of the exclusion period that will apply. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">· <span style="font-size: 7pt; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">School closures or partial closures are anticipated in WA.

I__** am worried about staff who do not follow protocol with excursions. Here are some examples of what is occuring at the moment
 * __URGENT Excursions Please Read

There are students on excursions and no list has been left behind. There are kids name printed on scrap pieces of paper handed into Dani instead of a deputy. Staff are not photocoping student health and permission forms and they are not being handed into me to file. Risk management plans are not being signed. There are some excursions going on and I dont even know about until the day! Staff are not taking an organised file with a student list, health forms/contact details or permisssion forms. I do not have a contact number for the staff members on the excursion this need to be known to admin. Staff are not taking a phone with them. You are welcome to borrow the school phone in the safe or take one of the deputies.

It doesn't matter if you are going to Kununurru or down the road the processes need to be followed to the letter.
 * __The DET will not accept responsibility if something goes wrong and it will be ultimately me who wears the responsibility__**. I am put at huge risk when an excursion is on especially when I dont even know what teachers, staff or children are on it. I would lose my job. It is compromising me as much as your professionalism.

From now on all excursions will be stopped if the proper paper work is not given to the Admin team before you leave the school premises. Generally the processes are good but I think we need to rigourous in our practice when it comes to safety and duty of care. All staff will use this sheet and take it on excursion and give a copy to the Deputies.

A very well done to the yr 567 team for an excellent assemebly.
 * __Excellent Assembly__**

Well done to fabulaous Jane who has made up a new display board near the front path. She also puts articles regularly into the Bastion to promote the school. Can you all give her a well done she loves the attention!!!!!!!
 * __New display board__**

Jane and Christopher have regualalry given up their time afterschool to tutor or provide training for the high school kids. The studnets and the school are very thankful for your additional contribution to the school. Well done.
 * __Did you know?__**

It is still a mess please clean up after yourself. Liz can you give it a clean on Monday and if you are on this week please give it a quick going over before you leave on Friday.
 * __Staff Room__**

Deeanne is on for week 10 but obviously this wont happen. We will either have an assembly without an item or if some one wants to do a presentation please ask. I would like Grant and Shirley to host this assembly. [although they wont know it Jamie can you ask them if you read this before them, cheers]
 * __Week 10 Assembly__**

I have canned this idea I think I am asking enough of you guys.
 * __Interview Evening__**

The photocopy is out of action. Dani being the efficent person she is ordered the part mid May but the company did not process it until last week when it stopped working completely. It may take up to a month to get fixed, there is a photocpoier in Katie's room but it is slow. The telecentre's photocopier has also broken down. It is a problem. We may be able to Nagawa to use them but I have not approached them about this. maybe Liz could sweet talk David. The printer in the staffroom much to our annoyance may not be working either. Please bear with us during this time and we will try and come up with creative solutions. Let me know if you hae any. We could use SJPS photocopier ??????
 * __Photocopier is out__**

Part of our school focus 09 was print rich environment and displaying studnet work. There is not enough evidence of what the student have been doing around the room. In some classroom there is also not enough evidence of the theme. Can you please do some reflection on your room and attend to these issues please. If you need help with display please ask for help from Jeanette. I am in the process of creating a document of a list of miminum amount of typrs of print in each grade. These come from First Steps and help nuture the community of readers and writers in the room. I feel it is better to give this standard so you know exactly what is expected from you. Many of the charts and labels can be bought commercially and we have here at the school. Please find the K-4 expectations. Next term and term 4 I will be auditing your room and expect to see all these things as part of the staff practice in the room.
 * __Focus 2009__**

Once again we have been onto this for a very long time but we are waitging on parts
 * __The siren__**

Kylie is out this week. Hannah is out on study leave this week. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> Victor and Dean may be at ambulance training [I have forgotten] David is away Friday week 10 his class will be split
 * __Staff Out__**

The ladies will be here on Tuesday. Jan and Shirley will be away for an hour to visit Marcus's family around 10.00. Please contact the ladies direct to make time to see them with IEP's or assistance with your case management students. Jan.Witney@det.wa.edu.au and Elizabeth.Kent@det.wa.edu.au
 * __Jan and Liz__**

Kalin is making resources to run 1 on 1 lessons with students who require additional assistance Tania and Linda could you please ask Kalin to make up your home reading folders the same as Priscilla's I forgot to ask. The bags are in my room.
 * __Kalin__**

Some of you may be wondering why I have not put Erin in the class to cover relief? This is a fair question. Erin is frantatically getting Maths programs and organising the maths resources so the programs do not require extra work for the teacher. She is also part of the data review which has been pretty intense over the last few weeks and revealed some aspects of our operations which need urgent attention and change. I feel that if this foundation is not set up the programs will not be as strong as they should be and I do not want to ask staff to take on new programs without it being fully resourced. She has put so much extra time and I would like to acknowledge her efforts.
 * __Erin__**

Erin will be working with you in the classroom next term to implement the First Steps Maths program. She will be talking with you this term to discuss how the program works.

To give Jane L a bit of a break she will not be doing the program on Wednesdays this term. Instead other staff are willing to take the students over to Kununurra. Thanks to Erin, Ted and Victor
 * __Wednesday Football__**

Saff who have been working on their certificate111 at TAFE are graduating Monday 22nd of June week 9. Instead of holding our staff meeting on Tuesday it would be great if we all went to the graduation ceremony on Monday at 2.30 and give our support to the ladies. Please ask Priscilla for more information.
 * __Graduates__**

Last week revealed flaws in our organisation system for splitting classes when staff are away unexpectedly. To avoid any extra stress for teachers we will try the following 1. Each child in the PS will be given a classroom that they will go to when their teacher is away. Jeanette will get this done this week. 2. Each teacher will have a list of students who will come into their class when a split situation occurs. 3. The EA in the class that is being spilt will check each day the teacher is away, to make sure the children are in the right class and will enter their attendance on SIS and give information to administration. 4. If things seem disorganised please alert Jeanette or Jamie straight away with what is going wrong. 5. The classroom teacher will leave work for the students if they know they will be away.
 * __Organisation for when a teacher is away__**

To make a difference with a core group of students the staff in those classrooms need to collect students from home in the morning as early as possible. This is fine but in reality it is a bit disjointed and is causing disruptions to the classroom program. One strategy I would like to try is that one teacher or EA picks the students up 1t 7.30am and then they go out again at 7.50-8.00 for another run. All non teaching staff should be arriving at school at 7.30am each day. This will help with ensuring the pick up program will work. Jeanette will arrange this with staff this week.
 * __K-3 Attendance__**

The risk management and permission forms are ready. The permission forms can be collected from Dani when you are ready to give them out. Please ask Dani for a print out of the students and the amount of golden tickets your students have. If there is more than 20 students eligible we will need to run an upper primary excursion day on another week or day in week 10. We can only take around 20 students as we have 2 cars only and a third car for the extra staff. Please see Sam and Tania for risk management information. I have not had the time to tell all staff who are attending sorry if I forgot you. Here is a draft <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Monday June 29th 2009 <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> Crocodile Park at the Port in Wyndham The students will travel by bus driven by Ted Birch. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Lunch will be provided on the excursion.

We are waiting clearance from Central Office before we can advertise. Please start writing your resume and an application letter stating why you have the skills to do the job. Please ask Robin for a job description of each of the positions and write to that in the application letter. I will keep you informed as to when it will be advertised.
 * __Non Teaching Jobs__**

Please use this time to work on reports. Jamie would like to meet with the HS teachers and the PS can work in their own time at school or at home. Next term Cathy will be presenting a series of PL sessions on Tuesdays. It may be that they run 2 hours and we meet every alternative Tuesday.
 * __Staff Meeting Tuesday__**

Christopher, Jeanette, Jane L and Erin will be away at Broome with the students for Kimberley Cup
 * __Week 10__**

I will be meeting with the teaching team in the PS again for a shorter period of time during week 8. Please send me an email with the best time for you. It will be a 1/2hr meeting. I will ask Jeanette to take your class so you do not need to use your DOTT. Thanks Jeanette nothing like reading it on the wiki.
 * __Teacher Conversations__**

the transition class and ITAS will be in the same classroom and will run parallel to each other. Cathy and Erin have planned this out beautifully. I want to ensure we are getting maximum use of Katie's services. I am still not sure when Dee is coming back to work. I will ask Erin to put a copy of the ItAS timetable in everyone's pigeon hole so you can see how it works. The way we have worked it provides the students with 4hrs of individual tuition per week. The allocation is less than 1 hr so this is great news. If it works it will be a great model for next year.
 * __Transition class and ITAS__**

Linda is on leave for the rest of the year Grace will work Mon-Fri as the Kindy teacher Erin will be the ITAS coordinator and GIRN and will be the art teacher in the HS on Tuesdays Dee will be in the transition class every day except on Wednesday. On Wed she will do PP DOTT Cathy will be in the transition class on Wednesday and will teach whole group ITAS sessions. Chrissie will be in the PS transition class each day up until recess.
