Our PB4L focus for Week 6 is The Major and Minor Behaviour Definitions          

Our PB4L focus for Week 6 is The Major and Minor Behaviour Definitions
Attached to this newsletter is a copy of the Minor (Low) and Major (High)
Behaviour Definitions. The purpose of this publication is to define for students,
through examples, behaviours which are classified as either minor (low) or
major (high). Whilst not exhaustive the definitions include examples for
students to understand behaviours that are not to be accepted and that the
severity of a breach of the school rules will warrant a different response. Minor
(low) breaches of the school rules will most often be managed by the teacher.
Major (high) breaches of the school rules will be referred to Mr Hoctor and Ms
Tobin.

PAT TESTING
In the coming weeks your child/ren (in Years 2-6) may talk with you about
completing a PAT Test (Progressive Achievement Tests). Catholic schools in the
Diocese of Wollongong use PAT (Progressive Achievement Tests) as a tool to
measure student academic achievement and inform teachers of their students
individual learning needs. The students in Years 2-6 will complete an online
PAT Maths and PAT Reading test.

KEMBLA ST AFTERNOON PICK-UP
This week our school received two complaints from residents about the
afternoon school pick-up on Kembla St. The complaints are because of the
congestion caused by parents waiting to collect their child/ren blocking the
traffic flow for residents.
To help alleviate the problem please do not park in the pick-up/drop off zone
before 2:55 when students are dismissed from school.
Secondly, please do not sit double parked along Kembla St for any length of
time.
If there is not a car space available, please keep driving around the block
until such time as a space becomes available.
Could I ask please that you reiterate this message with all family members
who may collect your child/ren.
Please note that the students are well supervised during the afternoon
dismissal. Teachers are on duty at the Kembla St entry/exit until 3:15 and I
advise parents to delay their pick-up until after 3:05 so that the congestion is
lessened.
