No: 13 - Week 10 Term 3 Wednesday 16th September 2020 Welcome to week 10. I wish everyone a very restful and safe holiday. It was lovely to receive the rain last week and good to see the grass trying to send up green shoots. ATHLETICS CARNIVAL Congratulations, Castle winners of the 2020 Athletics Carnival. Dawson was not far behind this year. I feel they are closing the gap. Thank you to Mr McGill for organising such a successful day and Mr Duff for coordinating our online booking system. Thank you to all of our staff that worked on the day it certainly takes a team effort. Well done to our students, every student certainly gave 110% effort. KEEP OUR SCHOOL SAFE Please keep a watch on our school during the break. If you see anything unusual please report it. CYBER SAFETY Information for parents To help keep your child safe when they are online, you can: put computers in open spaces within your home remind your child that content can be posted instantaneously, the downfall is that they can potentially post something without thinking about the ramifications. educate your child about appropriate online behaviour and the need for respectful communication with other internet users keep an eye on what your child is doing online (both in the home and on any mobile devices they may have access to e.g. phones, music devices and tablets) set clear rules about what sites and activities they are allowed to access install software to limit their use and monitor/restrict the sites they visit discuss a plan with your child about how to address any cybersafety issues that may arise (make sure they know you will be supportive if they mention anything and that they will not get in trouble) encourage them to find someone they feel safe talking to, such as yourself, a relative, a teacher or a trusted adult.
Access Online awareness: Information for parents and caregivers (PDF, 4.5MB) which provides important
information for parents about cybersafety and cyberbullying. It suggests what parents and caregivers
could do if their child is the target of, or is responsible for, inappropriate online behaviour.
Tips for learning at home
With children increasingly using the internet and technology at home, please consider ways to protect
them whilst they are online.
Manage screen time and online content
When students are connected to the internet, consider installing some form of internet filtering and
parental control solution so you can set time limits, filter and block content and reward good behaviour.
There are many options available, including free and paid products where some cover a single device and
others cover multiple devices. The eSafety Commissioner’s Taming the Technology has more information.
Set clear rules and boundaries
Establish rules about what apps, websites and programs your child is allowed to access. Set screen time
limits that best suit your household and set boundaries about where technology can be used. Make clear
rules about who your child can connect with whilst they are online, and what language is appropriate and
acceptable. These conversations are crucial so your child understands your family's rules and
consequences.
Check online contacts and friends
Remind your child that sometimes people pretend to be someone they’re not, even using profile pictures
from real people’s accounts. Just because it looks like the profile of someone they know, doesn’t mean it
is. It’s best to check whether a profile is legitimate before accepting friend requests or messages. Where
your child is speaking with others they do know, encourage them to engage in a respectful manner and to
alert you or a trusted adult if they feel uncomfortable at any stage.
Be responsible and positive
Ensure your child knows not to share personal information online, such as their school, address, date of
birth, phone number or location. Remind your child to think before sharing any posts, images or messages
online. All posts should be positive, useful and true to present themselves in a positive way and remain
respectful of others.
Communicate with your child
This is a great time to have open discussions about their technology use and reassure your child that they
can talk to you or another trusted adult about any online concerns, if they have made a mistake, or if
someone makes them feel uncomfortable. The eSafety Commissioner’s Start the chat and stay safe online
(PDF, 2.7MB) booklet has more information.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Our PBL focus this week is:
Respect: I use a respectful voice and
gestures
In week 10 students are learning the importance of
using respectful gestures and voices. The lower
grades are learning what respectful gestures and
voices are. They are learning about and putting into
practice positive body language. They are also
learning that there is appropriate and polite tones
of voice.
In week 9 our focus was being respectful, keeping our hands and feet to
ourselves. Prep students made a video where they sang a song for us about
keeping your hands and feet to yourselves.You can also read
