SCHOOL BANKING IS EVERY THURSDAY AT
MELTON SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL
STAFF, STUDENTS, PARENTS AND CARERS ALL HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AT MELTON SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL.
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE SAFE
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE RESPECTED
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO LEARN
Parents/carers are reminded that our school values include students, staff and members of the
community. Staff members are more than happy to discuss any concerns you may have but you are
reminded to do so in a respectful and courteous manner. Unacceptable behaviour or abuse will not be
tolerated.
BREAKFAST CLUB: Breakfast club operates Tuesday and Thursday between 8:15am and 8:45am, some
students are arriving as early as 7:45am. The volunteers are busy preparing breakfast for over 100 students
so do not have the time to supervise children at that time.
EXTREME WEATHER DAYS: If it is extremely hot we keep the students inside at recess and lunchtime under
supervision of staff. All rooms are air conditioned. We encourage all students to bring a bottle of water
which they are able to keep on their table.
SCHOOL COUNCIL ELECTIONS: We still have 2 parent vacancies on School Council. If you want to know
more about the role of School Council please come to the office and collect an information sheet.
PARENT CONCERNS: If you have any concerns regarding your child, please make an appointment with
your child’s teacher, or at the office if you want to discuss the matter with a member of the Principal team.
END Of THE DAY: At the end of the school day teachers are walking students outside to meet their parents/
carers. This is to minimise congestion in the corridors. For example in the grade 1 corridor we have 5 grades
with approximately 100 students. They need to be able to access the locker area to their bags. We thank
you for your understanding.
SCHOOL HATS: It is compulsory for all students to wear a school hat until the end of April. We are an
accredited Sun Smart school so if students are not wearing a hat they need to stay in undercover areas
during recess and lunchtime.
SCHOOL GROUNDS AFTER HOURS: Melton South Primary School grounds are not to be accessed out of
school hours without permission.
PERSONAL PROPERTY: Personal property is often bought to school by staff, students and visitors. This may
include mobile phones, Ipads, bicycles, scooters, electronic games, toys, sporting games, equipment and
musical instruments. The Department does not hold insurance for personal property bought to school and
it has no capacity to pay for the loss or damage. The bike shed is locked during the day and opened at
the end of the day. We would advise children who ride bikes or scooters to school to use a chain and lock
for added security.
SCHOOL WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR: We are currently in our third year of being part of the School Wide
Positive Behaviour training. All classrooms have a learning matrix in their room outlining expected
behaviours in learning time, the yard, canteen and toilets. Students receive tokens acknowledging these
expected behaviours both in the classroom and in the yard, which they trade in for a prize after reaching
a designated number.
EVACUATION DRILLS: We have regular fire drills, both internal and external, so in the case of an
emergency students are prepared and follow the procedures. Reviews are held after each drill by
members of the Occupational Health and Safety team to discuss any issues such as what went well and
what may need improvement.

2019 SCHOOL LEVEL PAYMENT CHARGES
If you have not already done so, please pay the school level charges as soon as possible. Bulk order
supplies are arranged by the school in order to reduce costs to families. So that your child starts the year
with all items, please ensure you pay the school level parent payment charges of $180 (prep students)
and $170 (grade 1 to 6 students) to the office as soon as possible. These charges also cover school
diaries, lanyard, access to computer programs for literacy and numeracy, bulk class room supplies and
Art supplies. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please make an appointment with the Principal
to discuss a payment plan.
SILLY HAT PARADE: To celebrate the end of term 1, we will be holding a Silly Hat
Parade at 9.15am on Friday 5th April in the Gym. Students are encouraged to make a
hat at home and bring it to school on the day. Hats can reflect an Easter theme or it
could be just a ‘Crazy/Silly Hat’ - use your imagination! Parents are welcome to attend
this parade.
Grade 5 MIND & BODY INCURSION
A reminder that $11 payment for this grade 5 incursion is due by next Friday, 8th March.
No payments will be accepted after this date.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
From the 1st March, the uniform shop will run on Monday’s 2:30-3:45 (during assembly) and
Thursday’s 8:30—9:00.
Parents are able to purchase uniform from the shop which will be located in the corridor
near room 1. Cash and EFTPOS facilities will be available.
If you are unable to attend during these times, orders can be placed and
we can fill these and send the items home with students.
More details of how to order will be advised shortly.
CSEF
CSEF (Camp, Sport, Excursion Fund) is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to
cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you have a valid concession card or are a
temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. This allowance is paid to the school to use
towards expenses relating to camps, excursion or sporting activities for the benefit of your child. The
annual CSEF amount per student is $125 for primary school students. If you have not already done so,
please drop by the school office and collect an CSEF application form, complete the form and return to
the office along with your Health Care Card.
