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
Our school song which the students sing at assembly each week incorporates our key values:
We are the kids from Melton South.
We are the best without a doubt.
We love to learn, run and play,
School is great in a special way.
There’s tolerance, care and honesty,
Fairness, respect and responsibility.
Co-operation and when the day is done
Fulfilment through learning is really fun.
SCHOOL COUNCIL ELECTIONS: School Council elections are now open. Nomination forms are available at
the office. The completed form must be returned to the office before the end of the school day on
Monday 18th February. There are 4 parent vacancies, if the number of nominations exceed the number of
vacancies we will have an election. I would like to thank the members of the 2018 School Council for their
ongoing commitment to MSPS.
ALPHA SHOW: On Monday the 29th of April students will have the opportunity to attend a production of
the SNOW QUEEN at school. The cost of this incursion was not part of the 2019 subject contributions. Notes
will be sent home later this term and the cost will be $10.00 per student. The show includes full lighting,
props and costumes. The company has performed a number of shows at our school and students and
staff are always engaged and enthralled with the performance.
SCHOOL HATS: It is compulsory for all students to wear a school hat in term 1. 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 CROSSINGS: Students and parents are reminded to always
use the school crossings around our school. Please do not cross at the speed
humps and only use the designated supervised crossings.
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.
SMOKING BANNED ON SCHOOL GROUNDS AND AT SCHOOL ENTRANCES: Just a reminder that smoking is
banned on school grounds and within 4 metres of any school entrance. We seek your co-operation in this
matter.
EARLY ARRIVALS: I have noticed that many students arrive at school before 8am. There is no supervision for
the children at this time. Supervision in the yard begins at 8:35am. Even though many teachers are at
school before 8am they are in the classroom preparing for the day. Many of our students attend the
before and after school program at St. Anthony’s across the road. The students are collected at school
after school and in the morning bought to the office to be signed in by our office staff.
Mrs Marilyn Costigan, Principal

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,
