6 | Page Enrolment Enrolment Forms Enrolment forms are available on our website and must be completed and returned to the school as soon as possible. It is important that any details of medical or other conditions for which the child may need special consideration are included. Certification of Immunisation All students require a school entry immunisation status certificate or a conscientious objection form. It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to obtain the certificate from their local council, GP or the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register and present a copy to the school. Date of Birth Satisfactory evidence of a child’s date of birth is mandatory (eg: by providing a copy of their birth certificate). Emergency Contacts An emergency telephone number and name, (neighbour, friend or relative who lives in the Mount Beauty area), plus that of a doctor nominated by the family is also essential. Eligibility for Admission Children who reach the age of 5 years on or before 30 April are eligible to attend school. All children aged six or more must attend school or be receiving approved alternative tuition. Student Wellbeing Child Safety and Wellbeing Mount Beauty Primary School is committed to providing environments where our students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Our child safe policies, strategies and practices are inclusive of the needs of all children and students. We have no tolerance for child abuse and take proactive steps to identify and manage any risks of harm to students in our school environments. We promote positive relationships between students and adults and between students and their peers. These relationships are based on trust and respect.

Page 9

7 | Page We take proactive steps to identify and manage any risk of harm to students in our school environment. When child safety concerns are raised or identified, we treat these seriously and respond promptly and thoroughly. Particular attention is given to the child safety needs of Aboriginal students, those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, international students, students with disabilities, those unable to live at home, children and young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer (LGBTIQA+) and other students experiencing risk or vulnerability. Inappropriate or harmful behaviour targeting students based on these or other characteristics, such as racism or homophobia, are not tolerated at our school, and any instances identified will be addressed with appropriate consequences. Child safety is a shared responsibility. Every person involved in our school has an important role in promoting child safety and wellbeing and promptly raising any issues or concerns about a child’s safety. We are committed to regularly reviewing our child safe practices, and seeking input from our students, families, staff, and volunteers to inform our ongoing strategies. Please see our Child safety and Wellbeing policy on our website for further information. Medical Information It is essential to inform the school of any past or current issues, which may affect your child’s learning. These may include but are not limited to anxiety, allergies, asthma, known sight, speech or hearing difficulties. Personal Accident Insurance / Ambulance Cover As a school, we encourage our students to be active and to have opportunities to participate in a range of sports and activities. Unfortunately, injuries can occur and it is important for families to know that the Department of Education and Training does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. Parents/ carers are responsible for all medical expenses incurred as a result of student injury, including transport costs such as ambulance or air ambulance costs. As such, we strongly encourage families to have up-to-date ambulance cover and accident insurance. Student accident insurance policies can be obtained from commercial insurers. Infectious Diseases In the case of some infectious diseases, a child must be excluded from school. Please contact the school or your doctor for advice.

Page 10

8 | Page Asthma or Allergies Management If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, a school management care plan must be completed. Please ask at the school office for an asthma or allergy management form. Staff are trained in Asthma First Aid and can provide routine asthma medication as authorised in their care plan by the treating doctor. Please advise staff in writing of any changes to this plan. If your child needs asthma medication, please ensure the medication and spacer/mask are supplied to the office for our 1st Aid cupboard. Additional asthma medication (eg: Ventolin) can be kept in your child’s school bag, as during sporting events and excursions, your child will need to carry their own asthma medication. Anaphylaxis Management Anaphylaxis is a severe and sudden allergic reaction when a person is exposed to an allergen. If your child suffers from anaphylaxis a school anaphylaxis management plan must be completed and handed in to the office. Medication If your child is required to take medication at school, this must be signed into the office, by a parent/guardian, in its original packaging to be administered by a staff member. Please ask at the school office for a Medication Authority form which is to be completed and signed by a parent / carer before any medication can be administered at school. School Medical Service The Department of Education and Early Childhood provides a school nurse who visits us once a year. Children in Prep undergo vision and hearing testing. Children in other year levels can also be referred to the school nurse by their class teacher or parent. Head Lice If your child has head lice he/she can come to school after appropriate treatment has commenced. Please let your child’s class teacher know, so other families can be notified of an outbreak. Confidentiality is observed. Private Property brought to school The Department of Education and Training and schools does not hold insurance for personal property brought to school. This can include mobile phones, toys and sporting equipment. As we cannot cover any loss or damage to personal property, we discourage students from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.

9 | Page Curriculum As a Victorian Government Primary School, Mount Beauty implements the content and outcomes of the Victorian Curriculum through a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based approach to learning. We offer personalised and differentiated learning opportunities that engage and extend students with a diverse range of interests, needs and abilities. The Victorian Curriculum F–10 sets out what every student should learn during their first eleven years of schooling. The curriculum is the common set of knowledge and skills required by students for life-long learning, social development and active and informed citizenship, which schools use to plan student learning programs, assess student progress and report to parents. This includes the Learning areas: English, Mathematics, The Arts, Health & Physical Education, The Humanities, Languages, Science and Technologies, which are overlayed with Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical, Intercultural and Personal and Social capabilities. Delivery of the curriculum is supported by a number of evidence-based programs including: Sounds Write Based on the Science of Reading, Sounds Write is a structured phonics program that provides a multi-sensory, code-oriented approach to teaching reading and writing. This is delivered as part of classroom learning in Prep-2 and as intervention in Years 3-6. Grow Your Mind Evidence-based, curriculum aligned, wellbeing program that is taught across the school, P-6. Rhythm to Recovery Based on neuroscience and delivered as part of the music program, Rhythm to Recovery utilises engaging rhythmic musical activities, such as drum circles, to support social and emotional development. The Tutor Learning Initiative Our school has two tutors working with students in P-6, to support students who require targeted assistance in literacy and/or numeracy. Specialist Classes Instrumental Music Our students also have the opportunity to attend private music tuition in ukulele, brass or woodwind instruments during school hours, by participating in the ‘Spookie Ukies’ (private tuition for students in Prep-6) or in the Mount Beauty School’s Band, in conjunction with the Mount Beauty Secondary College (Years 5 & 6 only). For more information, please contact the School Office. Visual Arts All students, in Prep-6, participate in Visual Arts classes, one hour per week, with a specialist teacher. Learning in the visual arts promotes critical and creative thinking, respect and awareness for culture and traditions, confidence, curiosity, imagination and enjoyment.

Page 12

10 | Page Physical Education In addition to participation in classroom health and fitness activities, students in Prep-6 also receive specialised instruction in Physical Education, to assist in the development of essential skills. French All students from Prep to Year 6 are offered French as a language other than English. In learning and exploring French, students develop communication skills, appreciation and understanding of another language and culture. This enriches their personal development as interculturally aware citizens. Library Our library collection is housed in a bright and spacious area. Classroom teachers accompany students to the library each week to borrow and browse the collection of picture books, novels and information books. Students are encouraged to borrow books of interest that can be read independently or be read to them, to foster their love of books, imagination, and information. Our library technician can help students and staff to locate relevant texts and reference books to support their learning and ensure the collection continues to grow with quality children’s literature. The importance of books is also celebrated each year, through a Book Week Parade, activities, and book sale, which serves to raise funds for the ongoing expansion of our library resources. Student Engagement & Inclusion Mount Beauty Primary School has a range of strategies in place to promote engagement, positive behaviour, and respectful relationships for all students in our school. You can read our Student Wellbeing and Engagement Policy on our website. Our shared expectations for students, parents/carers and school staff are founded on the schools’ values and reinforced through our school’s positive behaviours: 1. Respect for Self. 2. Respect for Others. 3. Respect for the Environment.

12 | Page Travel to School Parents are asked to assist in relieving traffic congestion by picking up their children after school at the Tennis Court Avenue end of the school. Please do not use the teachers’ car park during morning and afternoon pick up and drop off times. The teachers’ car park maybe used when picking up a child from the sick bay who needs to go home or to the medical clinic. All students who travel to school by bike, scooter or skateboard must wear a properly fitted helmet. Students must use the designated school crossing to cross Lakeside Avenue and obey the instructions given by the Crossing Guards. When riding/skating to school, students must walk their bikes/skateboards while crossing the school crossing and in the schoolyard. School Bus Travel Free bus travel is available to families who reside not less than 4.8kms from Mount Beauty Primary School and attend their nearest government primary school. Families requiring bus travel to a school, which is not their nearest school, will be subject to a charge. Bus travel forms and more information on school buses can be obtained from the school office. Parent/Carer Involvement Mount Beauty Primary School believes parents, carers and the school are partners in a child’s education and need to work together towards a shared goal of nurturing happy, balanced and inquiring students. The contribution of parents, families and community members is highly valued and recognised as a vital and significant part of our students’ school experience. Community participation in school activities by parents, carers and community members, creates a positive, vibrant environment where children feel safe, supported and valued. Promoting our students’ mental health and wellbeing, through a sense of social connectedness also helps them to become more successful at school. We welcome all members in our school community to become involved in their child’s learning and the school. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and support each other and the children. If you are interested in contributing to day-to-day school life, there is a range of opportunities for participation in school activities and collaborative decision-making. Classroom Teachers welcome sharing of expertise, and the support of parents and carers in the classroom. This may be supporting children learning to read, guiding small groups through a learning activity, or showcasing your knowledge. Your help in classrooms is invaluable.

Page 15

13 | Page Camps and Excursions Camps and excursions are an excellent opportunity for parents and carers to be involved in children’s learning. Often teachers organising a camp or excursion will request the help of parent or carer volunteers in the supervision of children. All volunteers attending camp must have a current Working with Children Check. Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) This fund provides payments for eligible students to attend camps, sports and excursions. Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply for $125 per year. Payments will go directly to the school and are linked to the student. Applications can be obtained from the office. Fundraising and Events Fundraising, to enhance school programs and support students and families, is essential for our school. School Council’s Fundraising Committee and school staff, make enormous efforts to organise fundraising projects and events throughout the school year. These activities demand time and the talent of parents, students and teachers. The benefits for supporting new school initiatives and projects and generating monetary support for families by reducing costs of excursions are significant. In addition, these events provide families with a wonderful opportunity to create new social contacts in the community and build an enthusiastic and strong network of individuals supporting the school. Edible Garden Our beautiful and growing Edible Garden and spacious school grounds are ongoing projects that are generously supported by parents and community members. The maintenance and care for our gardens by volunteers sustains the development of these projects. You can contribute by assisting teachers and working with children in the garden, helping with watering, weeding and planting, or participating in general maintenance of our school grounds. Sports and Wellbeing Days Our physical education, health and wellbeing programs are enhanced by parent contributions to learning experiences and volunteers assisting at carnivals and other sporting activities. Activities often in need of volunteers are athletics and swimming carnivals, health education projects, Year 5/6 ski program, 3/4 ski program, junior sports days, cross country meets, inter- school carnivals and sports days and swimming programs.

Page 16

14 | Page Working with Children Check To volunteer in areas with student contact, the Victorian Government may require that you have a Working with Children Check. This is FREE for volunteers. Mount Beauty Primary School recommends all parents, carers and community members wishing to be involved in the school community as volunteers obtain a Working with Children Check. Although not essential for some volunteer projects, it is highly valuable by ensuring you can participate in a range of activities over the course of your child’s schooling, including involvement in out-of-school community groups such as children’s sporting teams. To obtain a Working with Children Check go to www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au Visitors and Volunteers Please sign in and out at our Compass Kiosk located in the Front Office when you visit our school. Visitors are required to wear a Visitor Pass lanyard and to comply with our Child Safe Policy and Occupational Health and Safety requirements. The Child Safe Code of Conduct is to be read, signed and dated before volunteering at school. The Volunteer Code of Conduct outlines our expectations of all volunteers at Mount Beauty Primary School. School Council School Council is a governing body constituted under the Education Act and is responsible for setting the overall direction of the school. Its members are comprised of parents, carers, staff representatives, principal and co-opted members (nominated by School Council). Becoming a School Council member is a great way to be involved in collaborative decision-making in relation to your child’s schooling and to be part of the organisation and strategic direction of school activities. School Council elections are held in March each year. Joining a School Council Sub-Committee is another meaningful way to make a contribution to the school. You do not need to be a member of the governing School Council and can focus your contribution in one area of the school’s development. Council meetings are held at 7.00 pm on the 3rd and 8th Wednesday of each term. They are open meetings and your attendance and participation is welcome. If you are interested in being a parent representative on School Council you may nominate yourself for election. Elections are held in March each year.
