Homework:
Homework will be issued each Monday and is due Friday of the same week. Throughout the year, homework is used to reinforce literacy and numeracy skills learned at school. It is expected that each child completes their homework each week. Homework will commence in Week 3. Please do not be afraid to help your child with homework – it is an excellent role-modelling opportunity! If you have any questions about the homework, please email me!
Munch and Crunch:
Each day we will be having 'Munch and Crunch'. Munch and Crunch gives the students an opportunity to put some nutrition into their bodies and increase their energy to learn at optimum levels. It should be small enough to eat in 5 minutes.
Some examples of foods to bring include: fresh fruit such as apples; mandarins; cut up oranges; seasonal fruit (stone fruit in the summer months); cut up watermelon; bananas; pears; cut up kiwi fruit; grapes; cherry tomatoes – the list is endless. Vegetables such as carrot and celery sticks; snow peas; cooked pumpkin and sweet potato squares; fresh broccoli florets are just some possibilities.

Meetings with the Teacher:
Teachers’ mornings and afternoons are jam packed with lesson planning, marking, emails, meetings and so on (the list really is endless). We spend time doing all these things, to ensure your child is successful in their learning. As a result, I will not be able to meet with you, unless you have made a prior booking to see me.
To arrange a meeting time or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]
I will email you back within a 24 hour time period Monday to Friday (please understand that emails will not typically be responded to on weekends). For any urgent matters, it is best to phone the office.

Your Child's Teacher:
Hello,
My name is Miss Sarah Francia and I will be your child’s teacher in 4 White! I am very excited to be leading your child in their learning journey this year. I believe every child has the potential to succeed when they are in a learning environment that is engaging, challenging, creative and promotes growth. I am looking forward to helping your child become an independent thinker, who can problem solve and show resilience. In case you are curious, here is a little bit about me… Qualifications:
St Bernardine's Behaviour Policy |
The basis for our behaviour management procedures is our belief in Christian values. We believe that children need to understand that they are responsible for their own behaviours and that we as a school community will support them as they learn how to interact and live within our Christ-centred environment.
A close working relationship with parents is vital and our mutual support of each other will benefit the moral and social development of all children.
As part of an ongoing program, children will be taught about appropriate behaviours, responsibility and choices. They will explore both the positive and negative consequences of their choices.
