END OF TERM: Another busy term draws to a close—there have been many sporting achievements, successful
grade 1/2 camps, excursions, school discos, Literacy and Numeracy Week activities amongst many other things. I
hope all staff and students have a well deserved break and come back refreshed ready for term 4 on Monday 8th
October.
PORTABLES: Yesterday I was advised by the Department that we will not only be receiving the double storey
portable but another Mod 5 portable (2 classrooms) as well. They will both be sited next term ready to be used at
the start of the 2019 school year.
NAPLAN RESULTS: Reports for students in grade 3 and 5 are now available for parents to collect from the school
office. Parents are advised that we cannot send these home with the students. The grade 3 data showed
significant improvements in reading, numeracy, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
THE SCHOOL BREAKFAST program at Melton South Primary
School has provided the following free, healthy, nutritious
breakfast foods:
Vita Brits = 362 kilograms
Wholegrain Cheerios = 108 kilograms
Milk = 2,961 litres
Oats = 421 kilograms
Muesli = 70 kilograms
Baked beans = 504 kilograms
Canned fruit = 1,090 kilograms

That's an estimated 24,861 healthy breakfasts for students. Thanks to Tina and our wonderful volunteers who
make this possible!
GRADES 2019: Teachers devote many hours to the development of new grades, taking many factors into
consideration. If you have any specific requests, please put them into writing to the Principal marked Confidential
and hand into the office by Friday 2nd November. All requests will be given due consideration. Please note that
only requests received by this date will be considered.
To assist with this process, we ask any families/students who are moving to another area and not returning to
Melton South Primary School in 2019 to notify the school office as soon as possible. This information is critical for
class structure and staffing.
PREP 2019 ENROLMENTS: If you have a child turning 5 on or before the 30th April 2019
please return a completed enrolment form to the office immediately with a copy of your
child’s birth certificate and immunisation record. We look forward to seeing our 2019 prep
students on Wednesday 24th October for the first prep transition. When enrolling your child,
please bring birth and immunisation records.

PERSONAL PROPERTY: Personal property is often brought to school by staff, students and visitors. DET does not
hold insurance for personal property brought to school and it has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such
property. If your child brings a bike or scooter to school please also send a lock so it can be secured in the bike
shed.
DOGS POLICY: Melton South Primary School has a dog policy. Dogs are not permitted on school
grounds at all with the exception of specially trained dogs to enhance mobility or disability. We do
promote Responsible Pet Ownership to educate students in the knowledge and understanding needs
for responsible pet ownership and animal care.
PARKING AROUND THE SCHOOL: As the school is growing larger every term, we ask all parents and carers to be
very cautious when dropping and picking students up. We are aware of the congestion in the streets and the car
park around the school and ask that everyone obeys the road rules and is patient with others.

A reminder that the last day of term 3, Friday 21st September is our Team Colours Day. Students are asked to

students to participate in. We will be having a parade in the gym in the morning at 9.10am.
SCHOOL HATS: Melton South Primary School is an accredited member of The Australian
Cancer Foundation and therefore follows the required regulations in regard to SunSmart
behaviour. As part of our school’s SunSmart Policy, all students and staff are required to wear
school broad brimmed sunhats from 1st September through to April 30th next year. Hats are
available from the school office for $12.00 each.
DREAM BIG FESTIVAL: On Friday 14th of September, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from
Melton South Primary School attended the Dream Big Festival at Mt Carberry Reserve. The students
performed in the opening ceremony with The Big Dreamers band. They watched performances from
students in the local community such as choir groups, circus skills and short movies made by students.
We really enjoyed the final performance of a Drum Big Finale, which include about 50 students playing
the drums together.
CANBERRA CAMP 2018: Students from our school will soon be undertaking an
education tour of the national capital. They will be leaving on Monday October 29 th
2018 and returning on Friday November 5th. Students will be given the opportunity to
participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history,
culture, heritage and democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national
capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the
Australian Government is contributing funding of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education
Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
Saturday 6 October – 12pm – 4pm
This great family event includes heaps of fun activities for the whole family. The Art Team from our school is
running a work shop making Mexican Eyes. As we have a few student experts from our talented school it
would be great to come along and show everyone how to do it!
There will be a parade where the children will follow the giant platypus and dress up themselves as a platypus
to win a prize! Come and learn all about the platypus and their natural habitat while enjoying cultural activities,
jumping castle, face-painting and the animal farm.
Attending school every day
is vital for students of all ages
to fully achieve.
As a parent/guardian:
Commit to sending children to
school every day.
Make sure children arrive at
school on time.
Inform the school when they
are away, sending medical
certificates and other evidence
of genuine absence.
Consider catching-up on missed
work.
