Principal’s Report

Last week was a stressful week for the Cairnlea community with the

dumping of asbestos waste opposite the shopping centre.

The Department of Education immediately contacted the Environmental

Protection Agency concerning the school being so close to the site. The

EPA advised us that the health risk from the asbestos is negligible, as it is

contained in sheeting form and not easily airborne.

As a precaution the Department of Education immediately engaged a

hygienist to conduct air quality monitoring for asbestos from the closest

school point to the dumping site. This was completed on Wednesday of

last week with results coming in late on Thursday. The report confirmed

airborne asbestos fibres were below detectable levels and that the school

area is safe.

Taking advice from the Department, the playing area for children on the

oval was restricted to keep children well away from our Furlong Road and

Carmody Drive boundaries. Even though the authorities are telling the

school that we are safe, the Furlong Road Carmody Drive corner of the

school will continue to be out of bounds for all children.

I would like to thank the concerned parents who brought this problem to

our attention on Wednesday morning as we were not aware of any issues

when we arrived at school. There is comprehensive information on

asbestos also available online: asbestos.vic.gov.au or make contact with

the EPA.

Family Fun Day

Tomorrow is our annual Family Fun Day beginning at 12 noon and

finishing at 3:00pm. All family members, friends and the wider Cairnlea

community are welcome to participate in our major fundraiser for the

school year.

The Canteen is closed for lunch orders and sales on Family Fun Day. There will be no access to rooms for early dismissal. All rooms will

remain locked for the duration of the Fun Day as a security measure.

During the Fun Day the school will only be accessible through the front

gate, which will be supervised by school staff members. All other gates

will remain locked until 3.20pm. If you wish to take your children home

early, please ensure their name is marked off the roll at the front gate.

Students will only be permitted to leave school early if they are

accompanied by their parent or guardian.

As usual I recommend the beef sausages being cooked on the day outside

the canteen area.

Sun Smart Term 4

Our school is a Sun Smart School and all students are required to wear a

school hat in term 4 to help protect them from the sun. Sunscreen is also

available in every class room for children to apply before they go outside.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Mills,

Principal.

2017 Prep Enrolments

Prep enrolments for next year are now being taken for

children who live in the Cairnlea estate and siblings of

students currently attending Cairnlea Park Primary.

Due to our enrolment restrictions we are unable able to

accept any more prep enrolments from families who live

outside the Cairnlea estate.

Parents are required to supply the following information

when enrolling:

Proof of residence in Cairnlea

Proof of age (birth certificate or passport)

Immunisation certificate

Cyber safety tip! Technology is a

fantastic resource but

you should ensure

your child does

activities away from

technology also.

Second Hand Uniforms If you have any uniform items that your children have grown out of,

please consider donating them to the second-hand uniform shop.

The items must be washed and clean & in good condition.

Items can be handed in at the office.

All proceeds from the uniform shop are donated to State School Relief.

Thank you. Second Hand Uniform Shop Hours

Thursday ONLY 8.40am - 9.00am

November is “It’s Not Great to Be Late” month…

Each day at CPPS we have a number of students arriving late to school, sometimes up to 30

minutes past the commencement time of 8.55! We acknowledge that getting children ready

for school can be a difficult task, parking around the school can be horrendous, and weather

plays a part, too. However, it is vitally important for your child to be at school before the

music starts each day so that they can be settled, make important social connections, be

organised for the day and feel relaxed.

Now that the weather is slowly improving, we ask that all families make a concerted effort in

November to arrive at school well before the starting time of 8.55am, so that your child can

play, feel organised, and be ready for the day ahead.

The grade with the fewest latecomers in the month of November will be rewarded with a

casual clothes day in December JUST FOR THEM!!!! Please help your child to be ready for

school by getting bags and uniforms organised the night before, parking away from the school

and walking the last little bit, and developing a sense of punctuality in all aspects of their life.

We look forward to seeing everyone at school on time!!!!!!

Is Your Child Leaving At The End Of 2016?

If your child is not returning to our school in 2017, please notify the office. It assists us greatly in the planning for next

year. Thank you.


2017 ONLINE BOOKLIST ORDERING INFORMATION

This year Cairnlea Park Primary School will be offering the online ordering system for

payment of the 2017 student book packs and essential educational items, with our

stationery supplier Officemax.

Unfortunately, due to the Department of Education’s change in school’s funding, the

school cannot bear the cost of student book packs and essential educational items that

was offered in 2016, to parents who held a Healthcare or Pension card.

Therefore, ALL PARENTS will need to do online ordering for their child/ren’s 2017

book pack and essential educational items. We have managed however to keep the cost

down to $150 for book pack and essential educational items which includes class

materials, software and an incursion program.

Ordering can ONLY be made through the Officemax website. The online ordering

system is much easier for parents with your child/ren’s book pack delivered by Australia

Post to your home or nominated address. If you are not home, notification will be left by

Australia Post to pick up your parcel from the post office. Also there will be no

processing fee charged.

More detailed information of dates and procedure has been sent home to parents

as well as being posted on tiqbiz and in the newsletter. If you require any more

information please contact myself or the administration staff.

CANTEEN NEWS

FOREIGN, DAMAGED AND INCORRECT MONEY

The school canteen has had a large volume of lunch orders with foreign, damaged and

incorrect money. Foreign and damaged coins are not accepted by the coin counter at the

bank, so if your child has a lunch order with any of this money, or incorrect money, the

canteen will give your child a lunch order ONLY to the value of the correct money.

Unfortunately, because of the high volume of lunch orders that the canteen has to deal

with, it is not possible to contact students to choose something else, however they will be

given something similar to what they had ordered.

EMERGENCY LUNCHES There have been a number of emergency lunch orders given to students and the money

has not been paid back to the canteen. If your child has had or does have an emergency

lunch order, they will bring home a written order to say that they have received an

emergency lunch order and that $1 is owed to the canteen. Emergency lunch orders are

for unforseen situations not continual daily use.

We do hope this clears up any misunderstandings about the altered lunch orders that

your child may have received.

Thank you
