WELCOME TO SAMSON PRE-PRIMARY

The Samson Pre-Primary is an integral part of the Samson Primary School. It
provides a secure, happy, educational learning environment for pre-primary
children. We look forward to developing a close relationship with you as we
work with your child. Please keep us informed about any changes that may
have some bearing on your child’s education. By working together, parents
and teachers can ensure that children get off to a good start at Samson Primary
School.

PROGRAM FOCUS
The full-time compulsory pre-primary program provides opportunities for the
children to develop skills, habits, concepts, behaviours, attitudes and values
that will form the foundation for their education in future years.

Research shows that quality pre-primary programs have significant benefits for
children as they prepare for their school years.

DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT SKILLS & RISK TAKING
These are some ways independent skills can be developed
in younger children.

*     Give children TIME to do things for themselves
      (don’t do things for them because it’s easier or quicker).
*     In the mornings, when accompanying the children to pre-primary,
      encourage them to carry own bag/belongings.
*     Help them to remember what is expected of them (getting them to
      think) not telling them the answers.
*     Find TIME to TALK with and LISTEN to your child.
*     Be PATIENT, give your child time to think.
*     Let your child write or draw about their experiences.
*     Give your child RESPONSIBILITY by giving them a regular task to
      complete.
*     Know (and be able to say) their first name, surname, telephone number
      and home address.
*     Know where their lunch box, snack box, drink is and how to open
      these.
*     Know if their lunch has been ordered from the canteen.
*     Encourage them to put on their own socks, shoes and sandals.
*     Perform own toileting needs, blow nose, wash hands.
*     To inform teachers when they are unwell or in need of help.
*     ENCOURAGE your child to have a go at new things and comment
      favourably on their attempts.
*     HELP your child understand that it is normal to make mistakes when
      they try something new.
*     Provide opportunities to follow directions (e.g. go and find your school
      bag, library bag).

PROGRESS
Please keep in contact with the teacher about your child’s progress and health.
Please give notice of prolonged absence. Small concerns can be settled at
arrival time. However, for a longer interview, please make an appointment
agreeable to yourself and the teacher.

PUPIL MANAGEMENT PROCESS

A.     Positive Classroom Environment
The teacher will foster a positive class environment which will encourage
children’s learning in the following ways:

       1. Building positive relationships with children and amongst children.
       2. Establishing mutual respect in teacher-child and child-child
          relationships.
       3. Listening effectively.
       4. Being an effective teacher.
       5. Responding in ways that enhance positive feelings of self-worth in
          the child.
       6. Establishing classroom responsibilities with children.
       7. Virtue Certificates.

B.     Managing Student Behaviour
In the event that a child’s behaviour is disruptive and needs correcting, the
following steps will be taken by the teacher:

       1. Verbally warn the child (discussing the unacceptable behaviour).
       2. Separate the child from others within the classroom (time out chair).
       3. Contact the school administration/parent if necessary.

TRANSITION PROGRAM
The children begin the first part of their pre-primary to year one transition
program by participating in library activities, school assemblies, in-term
swimming, and other whole school activities at Samson Primary School.
Parents will be notified when these activities and others are to begin.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL/COLLECTION OF CHILDREN
Arrival – (Doors open at 8.30am)
Children can feel unsettled if they arrive at pre-primary late. We ask that
parents/caregivers endeavour to bring their child on time to minimize this
disruption. On arrival, parents/caregivers and children are asked to wait behind
the gate until admitted by a staff member. Children are to be escorted into the
classroom by their parents/guardians.

OLDER SIBLINGS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO DROP OFF OR COLLECT
CHILDREN FROM PRE-PRIMARY
Dismissal (2.50pm) - Parents are to pick their children up from the classroom
door at the end of the session. Prompt collection of your child at the end of
each day would be appreciated.

COLLECTION AUTHORITY
We remind parents that a responsible person (an adult) can collect a pre-
primary child. If the responsible person is not the child’s parent who is to collect
the child, we need written authority, and changes written on the “collection
notice” that is found near the door in both classrooms. Please see the staff if
you are unsure about these procedures. NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO
LEAVE THE PRE-PRIMARY UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A
RESPONSIBLE PERSON.

CUSTODY & LEGAL DIRECTIVES
If only one parent has custody of children he/she must inform the Principal of
access provisions for the other parents. Similarly, the School Administration
must be advised in writing of any binding legal directives, which need to be
applied. Copies of the legal paperwork will need to be supplied. (Please keep
this information updated as it changes).

SIGNING STUDENTS IN & OUT OF SCHOOL
Passtab is a programme we have in Administration for all children who arrive
late, or are collected throughout the day from school. Children who are collected
for an appointment and then returned to the school must also be entered in
passtab to reflect their absence in and out of the school.

USE OF OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT
A reminder to parents, guardians and care-givers, that children of any age are
not to use the outdoor play areas and climbing equipment before the Centre is
open or after the children have been collected. We cannot supervise children
during these times, and we ask you to help us discourage children from doing
so.

SMS COMMUNICATION FOR STUDENT ABSENCES & LATE ARRIVALS
We are pleased to advise that Samson Primary School uses a mobile phone
messaging system to communicate unexplained student absences to
parents/guardians. This communication system uses Short Messaging Service
(SMS) and will send text messages to parent/guardian mobile phones when
your child is absent from school (in the instance that an explanation has not
already been provided). Mobile Number: 0418 948 875.

Parents need to be aware that this system is an additional absence follow up
service only. There will be times when parents may not receive a text message
due to technical issues. In cases where you are concerned about your child’s
attendance, please contact the school directly on 9487 9000. Please keep the
office updated of any mobile phone number changes.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND CHARGES FOR KINDERGARTEN
School voluntary contributions for 2021 are $60.00 per child and the P & C
voluntary contributions are $50.00 per family.

These can be paid directly to the Office (either by EFTPOS, cash, cheque or
direct debit into the school’s bank account:

ACCOUNT NAME:         Samson Primary School
BSB:                  036-084
ACCOUNT NO:           810 709
REFERENCE:            Please use your child’s SURNAME & CHRISTIAN
                      NAME as the reference.

CURRENT ADDRESS & CONTACT INFORMATION
EMERGENCY CONTACT MEDICATION – ALLERGY – ILLNESS
Current address, telephone numbers and emergency contact are essential.
Children are left in what can be a distressing situation if we cannot locate
parents or emergency contacts. We ask parents to ensure that correct details
are supplied to the pre-primary centre and primary school. If your child is on
medication or has allergies, please notify the teacher. Also if your child has
Asthma or Allergic reactions, please ensure that a documented Action Plan is
completed by your child’s doctor, and that you update this information every
year. A copy of these forms may be collected from Administration.

NEWSLETTER
The school newsletter is published fortnightly on the school website
www.samsonps.wa.edu.au. An email will be sent out with the link to parents
after it is uploaded to the website. (Please ensure your email address is up to
date). Should your child have their photo in a school newsletter – it will appear
in colour on the website. If you do not have internet access, please contact the
office where a copy can be printed for you in black and white. We love to hear
of your children’s personal achievements out of school hours, e.g., sporting
awards, music awards, dance, gymnastics etc. If you would like to share their
achievement with the Samson school community through the newsletter,
please write the information down on a piece of paper and pass it onto the
Administration Staff.

PARKING
All cars should be parked in Lawrence Way or on the angle parking on the
school side of Philmore Crescent. Cars that park opposite the angle parking
on Philmore are illegally parked and have occasionally been reversed into by
unsuspecting parents. Often parking inspectors will visit the school to check
that parents are adhering to the signs. The staff car-park should never be used
by parents for dropping off or collecting students, even in winter when it is
raining. Only the day care centres are allowed to access this car park. We
advise parents not to leave children unattended in cars, or handbags/mobile
phones etc.

SPEED LIMIT
Please follow the 40km speed limit during school times around the school
streets. Several times a year a speed camera is located on our school site to
ensure parents are following the 40km limit.

NO DOGS
Parents and visitors are requested to not bring dogs onto school grounds.

CHILDREN’S BIKES AND TRICYCLES/SCOOTERS/SKATEBOARDS ETC.
You are asked not to allow children to bring their bikes or tricycles to the Centre,
as storage during session times is difficult. Security of bikes cannot be
guaranteed. They can be a source of danger and a distraction to other children
who want to use them during outdoor play. Bikes brought to the Centre must
be secured at the school bike rack. These bike racks are located above the
school oval outside Rooms 9 & 10 and remain the responsibility of the parents.

TOILET TRAINING
It is assumed that your child is toilet trained. If there is a difficulty in regards to
toilet training, please let the teacher know.

BELONGINGS
Bags/cases, library bags, hats, drink bottles, lunch boxes, clothing (including
shoes) are to be clearly labelled with your child’s name.

VALUABLE ARTICLES/TOYS/BOOKS/JEWELLERY
We discourage the wearing of jewellery, or the bringing of money/toys/books to
the Centre by children. The teacher will let you know if the children are required
to bring items for news sharing sessions. Loss of these causes distress to the
child and unnecessary time loss for the staff.

SPARE CLOTHES
In the case of an accident occurring we ask parents to include a change of
clothes in their child’s bag. Your child will feel more comfortable changing into
familiar clothes (t-shirt, shorts, socks and underclothes), all labelled please.

WEARING OF SHOES
Children’s safety is the factor which needs to guide our thinking on this issue.
The chances of dangerous items, e.g. glass and syringes being found in the
yards is increasing. The need for teachers to have supervision in place is a
Duty of Care responsibility, which we must plan to cover.

1.     Parents may send children in shoes of their choice, but we ask them to
       think of safety first. Teachers recommend covered, flexible shoes with
       a grip sole suitable for the range of outdoor activities children engage
       in at Pre-Primary. The wearing of slip-on shoes is discouraged for
       safety reasons.

2.     Teachers will make a decision on as to what is safe to do in particular
       shoes or clothes.

NO HAT – PLAY IN THE SHADE POLICY – BE SUN SMART
In the interests of the children’s health and safety, hats that cover ears and the
back of neck, must be worn during all outside activities in the sun. This is
enforced throughout the school year. If your child does not bring a hat, he/she
will be directed to play under the shaded verandah area. It is also
recommended that you apply sunscreen to your child before they attend class.

UNIFORMS
The Uniform shop hours are 8.00am – 8.20am on a Wednesday to coincide
with the School Assembly. (Cash or Cheque) can only be accepted through the
shop. (Should you wish to pay via direct debit, uniforms can be ordered through
the QuickCliq website – the same website for ordering school lunches. Visit
(www.quickcliq.com.au) to register your child’s account. Uniforms will be
delivered to your child’s classroom should you order via the website.

SNACK/MORNING TEA/RECESS
Snack
Children need to bring their own healthy snack every day to eat at snack time.
Please do not send sweets, sweet biscuits or packets of salted chips, as we are
promoting/encouraging healthy eating.

Lunch
Children need to bring a healthy lunch everyday they attend. We suggest that
you place food items (yoghurt, baked beans, fruit salad, etc.) into small plastic
containers that children are able to open easily, with little or no help. To
encourage INDEPENDENCE, we suggest that parents show children how to
unwrap their lunches and open plastic containers.
Please bring a clearly labelled water bottle each day

CANTEEN LUNCH ORDERS
       The school canteen operates on Thursday & Fridays. It is operated by
        the P&C Committee, with a Manager and volunteers.
       Lunch orders are to be placed online www.quickcliq.com.au by 8.45am.
       Morning tea can be ordered online as well.

BIRTHDAYS
We encourage children to celebrate their special day. You are welcome to send
along cupcakes for the class to share. Please do not send along a whole cake
as it often becomes very difficult to ensure everyone enjoys a sizable portion.
This enhances social interactions and gives them a special day. Please do not
send any cakes or other treats with any types of nuts in them. Severe life
threatening allergies are on the rise, and in 2021 we have several children in
our classes with allergies to nuts and other food products.

Please notify your child’s teacher should you not wish birthdays to be
acknowledged or celebrated.

If your child does have a severe/life threatening allergy, we can store a
replacement treat (suitable for your child, supplied by yourself), which we will
give in place of the birthday cakes. This will allow your child to still be involved
in the social interaction of the birthday celebration. (Please discuss this with
the classroom teacher further).

PARENT HELP ROSTER
Parents are welcome to help during the morning session 8.30am. – 10.30am.
A roster will be displayed at the beginning of each term. We value parent
involvement and hope that parents are able to participate in the fun and
educational learning experiences along with the children. If the roster times do
not suit you, please talk with the teacher for alternate arrangements.

All parents, guardians or grandparents are encouraged to enjoy themselves
whilst:

*       learning more about what happens at Pre-Primary (and why it
        happens),
*       establishing a positive relationship with the teacher and the education
        assistant,
*       assisting the teacher by carrying out “domestic” tasks, e.g. tidying
        tables, and some preparation,
*       helping the children to get the most from their learning experiences by
        listening, talking, questioning and encouraging,
*       modelling, speaking, listening, reading and writing for children,
*       supervising children whilst they play to learn.

As the purpose of the helper roster is to provide an opportunity for parents and
children to work together in the Pre-primary setting, it is best that babies and
toddlers do not accompany their parents whilst they are on roster.

LAUNDRY ROSTER
A laundry roster will be set up on a weekly basis. Parents will be asked to do
a small amount of washing on the last session of the week and it will need to
be returned by the following session.

SCHOOL DENTAL CLINIC
Samson Primary School students are attached to the Coolbellup Community
School (Dental Unit) located at the Coolbellup Community School site.
Students will receive an enrolment package from the dental unit in their pre-
primary year. Parents/guardians are required to complete the paperwork if they
wish their child to access the Dental unit.
The school dental number is 9337 7256.

MEDICATION POLICY
The Education Department has specific guidelines controlling the
administration of medication to students. If your child requires regular
medication or in an emergency, please ensure that you talk to the
Administration Staff to receive the appropriate paperwork that will need to be
completed. Please inform your child’s classroom teacher also.

Short Term Medication
Short term medication is prescribed medication that a student is required to
take during school hours in response to a short-term medical condition.
(Administration of Medication – Form 3 - needs to be completed), in every
instance. Forms can be obtained from the office. Prescribed medication will
only be accepted if it has the original label dispensed by the pharmacy.

Long Term Medication
Long term medication is prescribed medication that a student is required to take
during school hours in response to a long-term or ongoing medical condition.
A Health Care Management Plan needs to be completed along with written
instructions from the medical practitioner. Forms are available for common
conditions. For other conditions the generic health care form or a plan provided
by a medical practitioner can be used. The following plans are available:

      Generic Health Care Management & Emergency Response Plan;
      Severe Allergy/Anaphylaxis Management & Emergency Response Plan;
      Mild to Moderate Allergies Management & Emergency Response Plan;
      Diabetes Action & Management Plans;
      Seizure Management & Emergency Response Plan;
      Asthma Management & Emergency Response Plan;
      Activity of Daily Living;

ILLNESS
Children who are ill must not attend Pre-primary. A child who is not well can
become very distressed when in a group situation. It will also help curb the
spread of infection to other children and staff. Please keep your child at home
if he/she is showing symptoms of the following:
     Head lice - until treated,
     Nose/ear/eye discharge,
     Weeping sores,
     Diarrhoea,
     Fever,
     Vomiting, or has vomited within the last 24 hours,
     Any signs of infectious diseases, i.e. chicken pox, influenza, mumps,
        Rubella, trachoma, measles, ringworm, school sores, or whooping
        cough.

VACCINATION RECORDS
If your child was born in Australia, their vaccinations will be registered on the
Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). You must provide the school with a
copy of your child’s AIR history statement. You can ask for a statement at any
time by:

      Telephoning the AIR on 1800 653 809
      visiting your local Medicare Centre (Department of Human Services
       Centre)
      using your Medicare online account through myGov
        (https://my.gov.au).

HEALTH : INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Exclusion periods for infectious diseases are the same as for the primary school
aged child. We would like to stress the importance of keeping your child at
home at the first sign of any infection because:-

       a)     Children cannot cope in large group situations when they are
              not well.

       b)     Infection spreads quickly in the pre-primary environment.
              Please notify your child’s teacher of any serious infectious
              disease your child may contract.

Attending whilst suffering from the early symptoms of a disease or when
convalescing, but still retaining infection, cause problems for others. The
