2020 Important Reminder–Drive Through, Drop Off and Pick Up of Students

April 4, 2019

· From the Principal · Kindy · Messages · Pre-Primary · Year 1 · Year 2 · Year 3 · Year 4 · Year 5 · Year 6

A few reminders about procedures for dropping off and picking up your children here at St Emilie’s.

Please give way to cars at the crosswalk so Amherst Road can be cleared as much as possible of traffic. In the afternoon there is a teacher on duty to facilitate this.
When dropping off/picking up children, drive through as far as possible. Do not stop in front of the administration building if there is space in front of you to drive forward.
No child should be dropped off before 8.20am and all children need to be picked up by 3.20pm
Please do not enter through the gate near the Church or the gate on Philadelphia Parade as these are exit gates only. In peak times, only turn left onto Amherst Road from the Church Gate.
Please do not park in front of driveways of houses around St Emilie’s, we are getting a number of complaints from residents about this.
Only cross at the crosswalk, there are a number of families crossing in front of where the staff park their cars. This is potentially dangerous for all concerned.
When being dropped off and picked up, children should only exit/enter their cars on the left hand side of the car, school bags should not be in the boots of cars. If your child is unable to do up their seat belt independently, please do not use drive through.
Do not park on any footpaths at any time.
For duty of care purposes, at the back gate parents must come to the gate to pick up their child/ren. Then the teacher on duty will release the child/ren to the parent.

‘Bullying No Way’ Friday 15th March

March 14, 2019

The ‘Bullying – No Way!’ website for Australian schools is managed by the Safe and Supportive School Communities Working Group, which has representatives from all states and territories, including the Catholic and independent schooling sectors.

Here at St Emilie’s we work hard to maintain a ‘close ear to the ground’, to empower students to ‘find their voice’, to stand up for what is right, to seek out help and support when needed, to work together to maintain a safe and respectful school culture.

Parents and carers

Parents and other carers have a key role in preventing and responding to bullying.

You can:

Learn what bullying is and what it is not. This is the first step in talking about how to prevent or respond to bullying with your child. ‘Bullying’ is a word that is used for lots of things that are not actually bullying. These other behaviours may be just as serious, but may require different responses.
Talk about the value of diversity with the community and understanding that each individual is unique and brings with them individual differences that should be values and respected.
Talk about bullying with your child at home to make it easier for them to tell you if something happens. Make sure they know what bullying is and how they can respond. Help prepare your children to prevent online bullying and to know what to do if it happens.
Start when your child is young to guide them to develop the social and emotional skills they will need to build positive relationships throughout their lives, including problem-solving skills.
Recognise the warning signs of bullying. Although there may not be an issue, you should talk to your child if you have any concerns. Raise the topic generally if you don’t want to ask directly. Be aware that many times children and young people won’t ask for help, so it is important to know what to look for.
Learn about how to respond appropriately if your child tells you about bullying. You can reassure your child by remaining calm and being supportive.
Find out as much as you can about what has happened by talking calmly with your child. A good understanding about what has happened can also help you in communicating with the school about the situation.
Read about strategies that can help. Practising strategies at home with your child is a good way to prepare them to use them at school.
Contact the school if bullying has occurred and the school needs to be involved. Read about how you and the school can work together to support your child, whether your child was bullied, bullied others, or witnessed bullying.
Find resources for parents on online safety on the Student Wellbeing Hub about supporting your child to be safe online.
Find additional assistance if, after working with your child and your school, you need more information or help to address the situation from outside the school.
