                                   The technical issue we were experiencing with Edumate and the App, particularly
                                   with attendance, has now been resolved.

                                   You are now able to explain your child’s absences via either of these two channels
                                   within 7 days from the date of the absence. If you have any questions regarding
                                   how to do this please contact Mrs Sharon Walker via College Reception or via

                                   In response to Government expectations, the College will only approve leave for
                                   justified reasons. Justified reasons for student absences may include:

                                           • being sick, or having an infectious disease
                                           • having an unavoidable medical appointment during school hours
                                           • being required to attend a recognised religious holiday
                                           • exceptional or urgent family circumstances (e.g. attending a funeral)
                                           •
                                   When an absence is explained with a justifiable reason, either before the absence
                                   or within 7 days after the absence, the College will record the leave as justified and
        In This Issue              approved.

       Principal’s Message         Please note, if your child is late to school, simply writing ‘late’ or ‘late to school’
     From the Deputy’s Desk        will result in the absence being recorded as unjustified. This is because the entry

Cambodia Service Trip

Last December school holidays, a team of students and staff participated in the Cambodia Service Trip. They had a great
time exploring the history and culture of Cambodia as well as serving the children at the HOPE Community Centre and
O’Mony II Elementary School. Below is an article from some of the Year 10 students reflecting on their experiences.

Cambodia was a very confronting and beautiful trip. It
taught us many lessons, especially thinking about how
grateful we should be for what we have. We saw some
magnificent scenery such as the beautiful Angkor Wat
temple and its high walls with such amazing detail, or the
floating village and all the smiling kids who were happy to
have new faces appear in their village.

The people in Cambodia were all so friendly to us. A great
example of this was when we went to the markets in Siem
Reap. It was filled with the voices of shop keepers, trying
to strike up a conversation and sell their products. They
had a great sense of humour despite having experienced
great pain during the awful genocide.

One of the major highlights of our Cambodia Trip was the
service work we took part in at the Hope for Cambodian
Children centre and the neighbouring school. This
included a variety of jobs, such as painting playgrounds,
making cement for a toilet block, rendering walls, building
gardens, teaching English lessons and playing games
with the Cambodian kids. All very entertaining considering
the language barrier. Our work at both HOPE and the
neighbouring school was tough, yet rewarding and fun.

It was excellent to work with the children and visit a
village, giving out a number of basic supplies to help out
the families as well as a number of small, fun items for
the children to play with that they might never be able to
afford. We worked hard as a team to do our part in making
a safer, cleaner and a better functioning environment
for the people we met in Cambodia. We hope they will
remember us and have benefited from our visit.

Secondary School Happenings

An addition to Edumate!

As Mr Ramsay mentioned in the last edition of The Vine, parents will be interested to know that they can now access more
information about their child/ren on Edumate. Staff at the College are keen to improve the ways in which we communicate
with parents and this allows for simple, timely communication on a range of everyday issues, both the positive and the
negative.

Clicking on the “Wellbeing” tab under each student’s
name will show you the following:

           •   Commendations
           •   John Lambert points
           •   Uniform Demerits
           •   Detentions
           •   Incidents in the classroom or playground

You will be able to see the category of incident (Academic / Sport / Community Service / Classroom / Playground / Demerit
etc), the teacher who issued the commendation or demerit. At this stage, this information is not available on the mobile
College App. So you will need to log in on a computer to access this information.

We hope that this is a way for parents to have more information about the progress of their child/ren during their time at the
College.

  Call To Action - Year 12 Needs Your Help!
  We are looking for members of the College and wider community who would be
  willing to come and share a meal with our Year 12 students. The aim of this meal
  is to share your experiences of work and life with our students and for them to
  engage in good old fashioned conversation with new people.

  We have found this extremely valuable in the past and the students really enjoy to
  experience of meeting new people as they start planning their lives after school.

  When: Thursday, March 12 (time TBC)
  Where: Mt Victoria (location of Year 12 CEP)
  Why: As part of our program preparing senior students for life after school

Year 10 Career Aptitude Counselling

In Week 4 our Year 10 students taking part in the Career Aptitude
Testing attended interviews, together with their parents, with
Professional Careers Counsellors from Career Avenues.

This unique program will enable students to gain an understanding
of their skills, strengths, personality and interests to provide them
with an indication of the types of careers they may be suited to. The
process will help them to make informed choices around subject
selections for senior school and work experience later in the year
and encourage them to imagine and build their bright future paths.

                                   Pedro Guilherme Oliveira Sampaio

                                   Pedro is our newest Pre K sponsor child. He is
                                   4 years old and lives in Brazil with his mum and
                                   two siblings. He loves to play ball games and go
                                   to kids’ church.
                                   He doesn’t have any chores to do because he
                                   is too little. Pedro has been waiting quite a while
                                   to be chosen as a sponsor child as his family is
                                   extremely poor. What an answer to prayer that
                                   his family can now receive food, medical care
                                   and Pedro will receive an education when he
                                   is old enough to go to school. His family is so
                                   grateful to us.

                                   We welcome Pedro to our PAC family!

Cranmer House Charity Day

                                            Cranmer House Charity Day
                                              Friday 28 February 2020
       Dear Parents and Carers

       On Friday 28 February Cranmer House will be holding their charity day to raise money for the Anglican Aid
       Bushfire Appeal.
       Funds donated to the Anglican Aid Bushfire appeal will be distributed through Anglican churches in the
       affected areas where specific applications are made, and aims to deliver help to people who may miss out
       on NSW government emergency assistance. For more information website found at the link below:

       https://anglicanaid.org.au/nsw-bushfire-appeal
       The students can pre-purchase a sausage sandwich and apple juice popper, as well as tokens to use for a
       few fun games! For years 3-6 activities include a lolly jar guessing competition, a football pass challenge
       and a basketball hoop shooting challenge, and for K-2 activities will include a lolly jar guessing competition
       and the ‘chicken throw’ competition! The activities will be run by Senior Cranmer students assisted by the
       Cranmer Primary House Captains and Year 6 students.

       This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to have a fun time together as they support people in need
       through the Anglican Aid Bushfire appeal.

       $5.00 will purchase a sausage sandwich ($3) and Apple Juice popper ($2)

       Tokens will be $1.00 - with each of the games available for one token. (Please note each student will only
       be able to play each game once so a maximum of 3 tokens may be purchased)

       Please complete the slip below and return to your child’s class teacher with the correct money enclosed in
       an envelope by Wednesday 26th February to order food and tokens. Class teachers will distribute the
       tokens to the children before lunch on Friday 28th February.

       Primary students in Cranmer House may wear their sports uniform on the day.

       Yours sincerely
       Mrs Sue Kennedy - Head of Primary

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friends' Association is excited to announce our 2020 Fun Fair will be

                               a new playground with equipment and soft surface for the junior school area.

            Our Fair has strong well established relationships with the community and brings family and friends of students past
                                        and present, together with members of the wider community.

             Businesses selecting full sponsorship of a ride may also set up a complimentary stall at the ride promoting their
                                                                business.
            Full sponsorship will also receive additional advertising in social media and links to their business and larger logo
                                                                    space.

WWCC Renewal

WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK RENEWAL - HOW TO GUIDE

You might not be aware of this, but Working With Children Checks (WWCCs) only last for 5 years. If your WWCC is about
to expire, there’s a pretty good chance you will have already received an email notifying you. If you have not received such
an email, it might be in your junk mail or sent to an address you no longer use.

Please note, it is illegal to work with children in NSW without a valid Working With Children Check, and this
includes both paid and volunteer work.

The good news is that the process of renewing your WWCC is straightforward, and is free for volunteers. However, please
note that a volunteer WWCC is not valid for paid work in NSW involving children.

       There are 3 steps to complete in order to renewal your WWCC:

       Step 1 of 3 Please go to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/check, update your details (particularly if you did
       not receive the aforementioned email) and then click “Renew your WWCC”.

       If you do not know your WWCC number, go to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/check and click “Lost my
       WWCC number”.

       Please note the system will only allow you to renew your WCCC within three months of the expiry
       date. Please also make sure you click “Renew” and NOT “Apply for Your Check”, as the latter starts a
       new application which will cost you more time and more money.

       If your details are already linked to the College, we will receive notification of your renewal for our records.
       This will also enable us to verify you as a College volunteer.

       Step 2 of 3 Please note volunteers do not need to pay for the Working With Children Check. However,
       at this point you will need to verify your identity at your nearest Service NSW branch. Unfortunately, this part
       of the process cannot take place online.

       Step 3 of 3 Once your identity has been verified, you will receive a confirmation email. Please forward the
       email containing the details of your renewal (including your date of birth) to our College receptionist,
       Mrs Maxine Nielsen (m.nielsen@penrith.nsw.edu.au), who will update the College system.

If you require any further information, please go to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/check/renew or contact me at the
College via email m.clarke@penrith.nsw.edu.au.

Thank you again for all you do at the College, we very much value your contribution.

Mr Mitchell Clarke
Director of Teaching and Learning

2020 Student Residential Address Collection
                       and Other Information Collection

                                      For parents/guardians of students:

             2020 Student Residential Address and Other Information collection notice

     This notice is from the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment (the
     department), to advise you that the department has requested that your child’s school provide a
     ‘statement of addresses’, in accordance with the Australian Education Regulation 2013 (Cth) (Regulation).
     A statement of addresses contains the following information about each student at the school:
            Student residential address (not student names)
            Student level of education (i.e. whether the student is a primary or secondary student)
            Student boarding school status (i.e. whether the student is boarding or a day student)
            Names and residential addresses of students’ parent(s) and/or guardian(s)

     Schools generate a record number for each student for the purposes of this collection, which is also provided
     to the department.

     Purpose of the collection
     This collection is routinely used to inform Commonwealth school education policy, and to help ensure that
     Commonwealth funding arrangements for non-government schools are based on need, and are fair and
     transparent.
     The information collected in the statement of addresses will be used to inform school funding calculations. It is
     combined with data held by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to calculate the estimated capacity of a
     school community to contribute to the schools’ operating costs (capacity to contribute). Australian
     Government funding to non-government schools takes this estimated capacity to contribute into account.
     On 20 September 2018 the Government announced that it will implement a new, improved capacity to
     contribute methodology used in the calculation of the Commonwealth’s needs-based funding arrangements
     for non-government schools. Known as the direct measure of income (DMI), the proposed new methodology is
     based on the median income of parents or guardians of students at a non-government school. This is in
     contrast to the current area based measure which is a point in time analysis based on average circumstances
     in 2011 of the area in which students at the school lived. This change follows a review of the existing
     methodology by the National School Resourcing Board. Further information about the review and the
     Government’s response can be found on the department’s website: https://www.education.gov.au/review-
     socio-economic-status-ses-score-methodology.

     Use and disclosure of personal information
     Your personal information is protected by law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Any use and disclosure of
     your personal information relating to the statement of addresses will occur in accordance with the Regulation.
     Your personal information may be used by the department, or disclosed to the ABS, for the purposes of
     reviewing capacity to contribute methodology, calculating capacity to contribute and Commonwealth school
     education policy development (including school funding), or where it is otherwise required or authorised by
     law.

The Vine - Issue No 2, 2020
Your personal information will be provided to the ABS for capacity to contribute calculations and analysis as
part of the Multi-Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP). Departmental staff will use the ABS’ secure
DataLab to undertake analysis and calculate capacity to contribute scores for schools using de-identified data
(i.e. data that has had identifiable information such as name and address removed). The linked information
will not be used for other purposes. Further information on the MADIP can be found here:
http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564/9099c77cb979d55
8ca258198001b27a0/$FILE/MADIP%20iPIA_2018.pdf.
The department may, from time to time, carry out audits of school submissions. In the event of an audit,
contracted auditors may seek to compare a school’s statement of addresses with student enrolment
information held by the school. These contractors will not use the information for any other purpose.
The department may also be required to disclose your personal information to its service providers for the
purposes of the provision of information and communications technology (ICT) support services to the
department.

What do you need to do?
You are not required to do anything. Your school is responsible for providing the requested details to the
department, however, you may wish to ensure that your school has the most up-to-date and correct details
for your family.

Contacts for further information
Your school can provide additional information about the process of the address collection.

If you have any further questions regarding the collection, you can contact the department by:
       Email: seshelpdesk@dese.gov.au
       Phone (free call): SES helpdesk on 1800 677 027 (Option 4)

The department’s privacy policy is available on the department’s website at www.dese.gov.au. The privacy
policy contains information about:
       how individuals can access and seek correction of the personal information held by the department;
       how complaints about breaches of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) can be made; and
       how the department will deal with these complaints.

School Opal Card

              School Opal Card
              As part of our campaign against fare evasion, and our on-going
              commitment to provide the level of service needed to transport
              students to and from your school, Busways conducts regular checks of
              School Opal card.

              All students must be in possession of a valid Opal card or pay a fare.

              Students in possession of an Opal card must also tap on/off with their
              card when boarding our buses.

              This is important, because the Opal data collected determines the level
              of service we are able to provide to your school. If students don’t tap
              on and off, the services will appear underutilised and may be
              considered for cancellation based on low passenger numbers.

              To apply for a School Opal card or to report a lost or stolen card, go on-
              line to www.opal.com.au/en/about-opal/opal-for-school-students/

              Students who are ineligible for School Opal will need to purchase a
              Child/Youth Opal card or pay a fare to travel on our buses.

              Thank you in advance for your assistance and support.
