2025 Term 1 Week 3

Important Dates

From the Principal

Welcome to the 2025 School Year!  

Welcome back all our students and families.

A very warm welcome to all our new families joining the Eastwood Public School community this year. I hope everyone had a fantastic break and enjoyed a wonderful Chinese New Year celebration with family and friends. It’s always a special time to come together, reflect, and look ahead to the year with positivity.

I trust the holidays provided a chance to relax and recharge, and now we’re all ready for a fantastic year ahead. I look forward to meeting many of you at our upcoming events, organised by both the school and our wonderful P&C. The staff and I are excited for what promises to be a rewarding and engaging year.

It has been a great start, with students settling in beautifully. Their enthusiasm and excitement were evident from the moment they arrived, and it was a pleasure to see so many smiling faces on the first day. I had the chance to chat with some parents, though I did notice a few making a quick getaway, heels clicking and quiet cheers of “finally” in the distance after drop-off.

A special welcome to our new families who have joined Eastwood Public School this year. Starting at a new school can be both exciting and overwhelming, but I hope you already feel a sense of belonging within our community. Our staff, students, and families are always happy to lend a hand, and I encourage you to get involved in school events and connect with others. We are so pleased to have you with us and look forward to getting to know you.

A big thank you to our incredible staff for ensuring such a smooth start to the year. Their dedication, preparation, and care have helped create a welcoming and engaging environment for all our students. I would also like to acknowledge our wonderful front office team, who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to support families, answer questions, and keep everything running seamlessly. Their efforts truly make a difference in ensuring a positive start for everyone.

We have so much to look forward to this year, with exciting learning opportunities, events, and activities ahead. Thank you for being part of our wonderful school community. I look forward to a fantastic year together.

Newsletter

This year the newsletter will be written and disseminated three times a Term. The newsletter will be published in Week 3, Week 6 and Week 10 of each Term.

Welcome to Kindergarten students

Congratulations and welcome to our 84 new Kindergarten students who started school on Thursday. It was lovely to have so many parents at school to share this memorable occasion. The boys and girls are settling well into their new classes. I must acknowledge the wonderful work of our Kindergarten teachers as well as the support and administration staff who have made the first days as smooth as possible.

Bell Times

School starts promptly at 8:40 am, and we kindly request that no child arrives on the school grounds earlier than this, except for those attending EBASCC or tuition. This precaution is in place for the safety of our students, as there are no teachers on duty until 8:40 am. If a child is found on the school grounds before this time, we will contact parents and request them to either collect their child or stay with them until 8:40 am. Your cooperation in ensuring a secure environment for all is greatly appreciated.

Teaching time begins at 9:10am. Below are the schedules for K-2 and 3-6.

Morning -

8.40am - 9.10am

Class

9:10am – 11:10am

Recess

11:10am – 11:40am

Class

11:40am – 1:10pm

Lunch Time

1:10pm – 1:50pm

Class

3:10pm – The school day concludes at 3:10 pm, and we expect all students to be picked up promptly. In the event that a child is not collected by this time, parents will receive a phone call. If necessary, the student may be enrolled in the After School Care facility, with an associated fee.

If you anticipate running late, it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements. The school cannot accommodate the supervision of your child beyond the designated hours. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in upholding the safety and efficiency of our end-of-day procedures.

School Uniform

As we begin a new school year, we want to thank you for your continued support in ensuring our students take pride in their school and their appearance. A consistent and well-presented uniform sets a strong foundation for a positive learning environment and helps students feel a sense of belonging.

Recently, we’ve noticed a variety of attire being worn, with some students not adhering to the designated school uniform. As we set expectations for the year ahead, we remind all families that students are required to wear their full school uniform, including black shoes (except on designated Sport Days) and the official school hat.

The Parent-Teacher Association (P&C) fully supports this expectation, as a consistent uniform promotes school pride, respect, and unity. We have also observed different hats being worn, and we’d like to remind families that only the school-endorsed hat is approved by both the P&C and school administration. Moving forward, the school will communicate with parents regarding any ongoing instances of incorrect uniform, including non-compliant hats.

Why the School Hat Matters

Unlike sporting hats, which come in different styles, the official school hat ensures a consistent and identifiable look for all students. It reinforces school spirit, respect for traditions, and a sense of unity, while also maintaining a focused and structured learning environment.

Need Support? We’re Here to Help

We understand that obtaining a full uniform can sometimes be a challenge. If you require financial assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the school. All requests will be handled with complete confidentiality.

Uniform Shop Information

For details on purchasing school uniforms, including school hats, please visit the Uniform Shop.

By reinforcing these expectations from the beginning of the year, we can ensure a strong, respectful, and unified school community. Thank you for your support in helping our students start the year with confidence and pride.

Classes

Students have been placed into their 2025 class and teachers are establishing class routines and beginning learning programs. The organisation of 2025 classes has been a complex task and I can assure parents that it has involved considerable input from previous teachers, the executive team, support staff and has taken into account many factors. The needs of the entire student body are carefully considered when new classes are formed, and we strive to create safe, supportive and stimulating learning environment for all students. Students have quickly settled into their new classes and are enjoying the challenges of the new school year I appreciate your support in encouraging and reassuring your child within the first few weeks and throughout the year. A class list is included.

Staffing

As we begin a new school year, I want to acknowledge the exceptional team of university-trained teachers at Eastwood Public School. Our dedicated educators bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion to the classroom, ensuring that every student is supported, challenged, and inspired to achieve their best. They are committed to continuous professional growth, embracing new teaching strategies and evidence-based practices to enhance student learning. Throughout the year, our teachers will work closely with students and families to foster a positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. With their dedication and expertise, I am confident that 2025 will be a year of growth, achievement, and success for all.

Meet The Teacher Information Sessions

Sessions will begin at 4:00pm and 5:00pm depending on the Stage and will run for one hour. These sessions are designed to give a general overview of what is happening in the stage/grade/class for the year. If you wish to speak individually to a teacher regarding your child, please make an appointment for another time.

Wednesday 19 February – Kindergarten (Beginning at 4:00pm)

Wednesday 19 February ­– Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4 - Beginning at 5:00pm)

Thursday 20 February ­– Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6 - Beginning at 4:00pm)

Thursday 20 February ­– Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2 - Beginning at 5:00pm)

Mobile Phones/Devices/Smart Watches

This is a friendly reminder that, in alignment with the NSW Government's directive on mobile phones in schools, the use of mobile phones and wearable devices, including smartwatches, is strictly prohibited on school grounds. The new policy, effective from Term 4, 2023, aims to create a focused and conducive learning environment.

Wearable devices encompass items such as AirPods, headphones, smartwatches, and Apple Watches. If a student is observed with a smartwatch on their wrist, they will be kindly requested to remove it and store it in their bag. In the event of repeated instances, the smartwatch may be confiscated and can be retrieved at the end of the school day.

For further information, please refer to the Department of Education's guidelines on the mobile phone and smartwatch ban:

Mobile phones now banned in all NSW public schools

Student Use of Mobile Phones in Schools

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a distraction-free learning environment.

Absences

If your child is absent for any reason from school, could you please ensure that a note is provided stating the date and reason for that absence. This is a legal responsibility and is closely monitored by the Department. An explanation of absence is required within 7 days. If the school has not received a note outlining a reason for the absence, a reminder letter will be sent home after 7 days.

If you are taking a long term of absence, for example a holiday during the school term, you must inform the school’s front office and complete a Certificate of Extended Leave – Holiday. Any documentation such as travel details, itinerary or flight bookings are needed to issue the certificate.

SMS Absences

Eastwood Public School is implementing a new communication initiative to enhance student safety and streamline the process of reporting absences. Parents of absent children will now receive SMS notifications at 10:30 am each day, ensuring all students are properly accounted for.

If your child is present, you will not receive any notification. However, if your child is absent, the SMS message will allow you to provide an explanation for their absence within a 12 - hour timeframe.

We are thrilled to introduce this service, aiming to foster a more efficient and secure environment for our students. This improvement not only prioritises student safety but also facilitates seamless communication between parents and the school regarding any absence.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the well-being of our students at Eastwood Public School.

Allergies

Anaphylaxis is a potentially life threatening, severe allergic reaction which occurs after exposure to an allergen (usually to foods, insects or medicines), to which a person is already extremely sensitive. We have a number of students at Eastwood Heights Public School with anaphylaxis and similar allergic conditions and our staff undertake face-to-face and online training in providing an emergency response to this condition. The parents of our anaphylactic and allergic students work hard to educate their children about the risks of sharing food, as do our teachers.

As this is a potentially life-threatening condition, we ask that you please consider these students before sending high-risk products such as peanut butter, Nutella and seafood in school lunchboxes. Please talk to your child about the potential risks of sharing food and ask them to wash their hands after eating any nut-based or seafood products. Thank you for your understanding, our anaphylactic children and their families appreciate your support.

Wellbeing Program

Last year we started ‘You Can Do It’ Program with Mrs Turnbull at the helm. We will be continuing the program this year and after staff and community consultation have changed the award system to reflect the Five Keys To Success. There are five keys, which align with the ‘Keys to Success’ in the You Can Do It social and emotional program. Each key has a designated colour and is associated with the development of a particular social/emotional skillset. The five keys are:

• Confidence

Confidence requires that young people not be overly concerned with what others think if they make a mistake. Confidence is revealed when young people are not afraid to fail and are happy to meet someone new. Confidence involves young people having trust in themselves and believing that they will probably be successful in the end. Confident young people stand up straight, look people in the eye, and speak clearly and with a firm tone of voice.

• Persistence

Persistence is revealed when young people try hard when doing schoolwork, they find frustrating and do not feel like doing, and finfish their work on time. young People who keep trying to complete an assignment rather than becoming distracted, and those who elect to play after they've done their work, demonstrate motivation and can be described as persistent.

• Organisation

Organisation is revealed when young people keep track of their assignments, schedule their time effectively, and set goals they want to do in specific areas of their schoolwork and in other endeavours. Organisation also means having in hand all materials needed to do schoolwork and having a system for sorting previously learned material.

• Getting Along

Getting Along is revealed when young people make friends easily, work co-operatively with each other, resolve conflicts by discussion rather than fights, manage their anger, show tolerance, and follow class rules, including making responsible choices so that everyone's rights are protected and volunteer for community service.

• Emotional Resilience

Emotional Resilience is shown when young people are able to stop themselves from getting extremely angry, down, or worried when something "bad" happens. Emotional Resilience also means being able to calm down, feel better when overly upset, and bounce back from adversity.

 The 12 Positive Habits of the Mind

• Social Responsibility (Values of Character)
• Playing by the Rules
• Thinking First
• Being Tolerant of Others
• Planning My Time
• Setting Goals
• Giving Effort
• Working Tough
• I Can Do It
• Being independent
• Taking Risks
• Accepting Myself
  

Working in Partnership

We recognise that in order to be successful, our children need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

• Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience
• Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
• Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life
• Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
• Knows that you expect him/her to do well at school

Dropping Off and Picking Up students

A ‘Kiss and Ride Zone’ or ‘Drop-off and Pick-up’ area utilises existing 'No Parking' zones around schools. In these areas, drivers may stop to drop off or pick up children, however No Parking rules apply:

• Maximum stop time is 2 minutes
• Driver must remain in or within 3 metres of the vehicle
• Vehicle must not be left unattended

Additional safety tips for school zones:

• Always drop-off or pick-up your child from the designated area, following the school’s procedures
• Make sure children use the footpath-side door when getting in and out of a car
• Make sure the hand brake is applied when the vehicle is stationary
• Never double park
• Never park across a pedestrian crossing
• Never undertake a U-turn in close proximity to the school.

Safety Tips for Students:

• Stay buckled up until the vehicle has stopped in the ‘Drop-off and Pick-up’ area
• Make sure your school bag and other items are in a safe position, e.g. on the floor
• Be ready to get out of the car with your belongings when the car has stopped and you have unbuckled your seatbelt
• Always get in and out of the backseat of the vehicle through the safety door - the rear footpath-side door.

No Stopping

What does it mean? You cannot stop in this area FOR ANY REASON (including queuing or waiting for space).
Why is it there? Keeps clear sight lines between drivers and children/pedestrians.
Penalty $330 + 2 Demerit Points (School Zone)

No Parking

What does it mean? You can stop in a NO PARKING zone for a maximum of two minutes to drop off and pick up passengers. If no spaces are available you cannot queue on the road way or in any other zones while waiting for a space. You will need to drive away and park elsewhere, only returning when there is space to pull up. You must stay within three metres of your vehicle at all times.
Why is it there? To provide a safe place for children/pedestrian set down and pick up.
Penalty $183 + 2 Demerit points (School Zone).

Bus Zone

What does it mean? You must not stop or park in a bus zone for any reason (including queuing or waiting for a space) unless you are driving a bus.
Why is it there? To provide a safe place for large buses to set down and pick up school children.
Penalty $330 + 2 Demerit Points (School Zone).

Pedestrian Crossings

You must not stop within 20 metres before a pedestrian crossing or 10 metres after a crossing unless there is a control sign permitting parking.
Why is it there? To ensure that children can be clearly seen by vehicles approaching the crossing.
Penalty $439 + 2 Demerit Points (School Zone)

Footpaths, Driveways and Nature Strips

You must not stop on any footpath or nature strip, or even a driveway crossing a footpath or nature strip FOR ANY REASON. 
Why is it there? You could easily run over a child or force pedestrians onto the road to get around you.
Penalty $183 + 2 Demerit points (School Zone)

Double Parking

You must not stop on the road adjacent to another vehicle at any time even to drop off or pick up passengers.
Why is it there? Double parking forces other cars to go around you causing traffic congestion and reduces the view of drivers and children crossing the road.

Deputy Principal's Report

NAPLAN 2025

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

It is a nationwide measure through which parents/carers, teachers, schools, education authorities, governments and the broader community can determine whether or not young Australians are developing the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for other learning and for their productive and rewarding participation in the community.

NAPLAN results allow parents/carers and educators to see how students are progressing in literacy and numeracy over time – individually, as part of their school community, and against national standards. 

NAPLAN is made up of tests in the 4 areas (or ‘domains’) of:

• reading
• writing
• conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
• Numeracy.

National testing dates are from 12 till 24 March, which is Weeks 7 and 8.

Year 6 to Year 7 High School Application Process

The process for students transitioning from Year 6 to Year 7 in 2026 commences on 3 March and closes on 28 March. Applications are to be completed online, with further information to follow.

Exciting New Language Learning Opportunities at Eastwood Public School!

At Eastwood Public School, we are excited to expand our language learning opportunities in 2025! This year, we are considering starting a Beginner’s Korean Class for students from a non-Korean background, in addition to our existing K-6 Korean language program. The start of this class will depend on the number of interested students, so we encourage families to express their interest.

Additionally, for the first time, students in Years 5 and 6 will have the opportunity to continue their Mandarin studies. In previous years, Mandarin has only been offered up to Year 4, but with the introduction of the new Modern Languages Curriculum, we are expanding the program to support students who wish to continue developing their language skills into high school.

If your child is interested in continuing their Mandarin studies in Years 5 and 6, or joining the Beginner’s Korean Class, please complete the Google Form linked below.

📌https://forms.gle/KWut1PxQUxHHe4uH9

We look forward to supporting our students in their language learning journey and helping them develop skills that will benefit them for years to come.

Best Start Kindergarten Assessments Begin Monday

Welcome to all our new Kindergarten families! As your child settles into school, we will begin administering the Best Start Kindergarten Assessment from Monday. This assessment is designed to help teachers understand the literacy and numeracy skills your child brings with them at the beginning of Kindergarten.

The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment has been conducted in NSW public schools since 2010. It is a one-on-one, informal assessment with your child’s classroom teacher, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. The assessment takes about 20 minutes for each section (literacy and numeracy) and helps teachers plan effective learning programs tailored to each student’s needs.

During the literacy component, students may be asked to:

✅ Recognise letters, words, and sounds
✅ Show early writing abilities
✅ Retell storylines from books read to them

During the numeracy component, students may be asked to:

✅ Recognise and count numbers
✅ Demonstrate early addition and subtraction skills
✅ Identify repeating patterns

There is no need for your child to prepare or study for the assessment. It is simply a way for teachers to gain insight into what your child knows so they can support their learning in the best possible way.

Once the assessment is complete, parents will receive information about how their child went, including ways to support literacy and numeracy development at home. Teachers may also arrange a follow-up meeting to discuss your child’s learning progress.

For more information and ideas on supporting your child’s learning at home, visit the NSW Department of Education website at education.nsw.gov.au

Compulsory School Attendance

What are my Legal responsibilities?

Education in New South Wales is compulsory for all children between the ages of six years and below the minimum school leaving age of 17 years. The Education Act 1990 requires that parents ensure their children of compulsory school age are enrolled at, and regularly attend school, or, are registered with the NSW Education and Standards Authority for home schooling. Once enrolled, children are required to attend school each day it is open for students.

The Importance of arriving on time Arriving at school and class on time:  

*Ensures that students do not miss out on important learning activities scheduled early in the day 

*Helps students learn the importance of punctuality and routine 

*Give students time to greet their friends before class 

* Reduces classroom disruption. Lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained by parents

What if my child has to be away from school? 

On occasion, your child may need to be absent from school. Justified reasons for student absences may include:  being sick, or having an infectious disease, having an unavoidable medical appointment, being required to attend a recognised religious holiday and exceptional or urgent family circumstance (e.g. attending a funeral). 

Following an absence from school you must ensure that within 7 days you provide your child’s school with a verbal or written explanation for the absence. However, if the school has not received an explanation from you within 2 days, the school may contact you to discuss the absence. 

Principals may decline to accept an explanation that you have provided if they do not believe the absence is in the best interest of your child. In these circumstances your child’s absence would be recorded as unjustified. When this happens the principal will discuss their decision with you and the reasons why. 

Principals may request medical certificates or other documentation when frequent or long term absences are explained as being due to illness. Principals may also seek parental permission to speak with medical specialists to obtain information to collaboratively develop a health care plan to support your child. If the request is denied, the principal can record the absences as unjustified.

Selective School Applications

Just a reminder that applications for selective school 2026 close on 21 February. This only applies to students who have just moved into Year 6 and did not complete an application at the end of 2024.

Staying safe online

Age Appropriate Apps

With the amount of time children now spend online, it is important for parents to regularly check their child’s/children’s accounts and monitor the content accessed online in a safe environment. The following is a list of ages that students can access different apps and platforms, provided by the eSafety Commissioner. This list is not conclusive but are some of the main platforms primary aged students may sign up for. We strongly suggest parents check their children’s accounts, to ensure they are not using any of these apps.

Introducing Life Skills GO at Eastwood Public School

At Eastwood Public School, we are committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment for all our students. To strengthen this commitment, we are excited to introduce Life Skills GO, an evidence-based online platform developed by Life Skills Group. This program is designed to support the social, emotional, and physical development of our students, equipping them with essential skills to thrive both in school and beyond.

Through Life Skills GO, students will regularly check in with their teachers using a digital tool that helps track their emotional well-being. This initiative aligns with trauma-informed practices, aiming to enhance student engagement, improve classroom behavior, and support learning achievement. By integrating this program into our daily routines, we hope to create a positive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Our goal is not just to see immediate benefits but to build a resilient and thriving school community where all students can reach their full potential. As we gradually implement Life Skills GO into our school routines, we appreciate your support and partnership in this important initiative.

Library

Welcome Back to the Library!

We’re so excited to welcome students back to the library this year! It's been an amazing first week of seeing familiar faces and new ones, and we can’t wait to share our collection with you.

This year, students in grades K-2 can borrow 2 books, while students in grades 3-6 can borrow 3 books at a time.

Students in K-2 must also bring a library bag to borrow books, as we’re teaching them to be responsible and care for the library’s collection.

Students have two weeks to read their borrowed books before they are considered overdue. If they need more time, no worries! Books can be renewed if they haven’t been finished within that timeframe. Books will need to be returned before students can borrow new ones, so be sure to bring them back!

We’re looking forward to a great year of reading, learning, and exploring new worlds through books.

See you in the library! 📚✨

Miss Doval and Miss Hahn

THANK YOU to the parents who have already paid their contribution to the School Library Gift Fund. A reminder that this contribution is tax deductable.

Music - Choirs and Recorder Ensemble

There are opportunities for your children to join one of the Music groups run by the school. Rehearsals are before school (8:10am) or at lunch time (1:10pm). 
There are no auditions to join these groups, anyone in the correct age group can come along and will be included in school performances. Beginner or advanced, come along for some fun and learn something new!
There are, however, performances outside of school later in the year at the Sydney Town Hall and the Opera House, that would require payment, commitment, out-of-school rehearsals, remembering instruments or lyrics, full attendance, and great behaviour! These may require auditions closer to the date, but the children will be informed well ahead of time.

JUNIOR CHOIR - Years 3 & 4
Monday mornings at 8:10am in the hall starting 24 February with Mrs Hudson and Miss Poole

SENIOR CHOIR - Years 5 & 6                                                                                                                                                      Wednesday mornings at 8.10am in the hall starting 26 February with Mrs Forster and Ms Bennett

RECORDER ENSEMBLE Yrs 4-6
Monday lunchtimes in the Music Room with Mrs Hudson and Miss Hadfield, starting Week 5, 24 February.
Students learn the descant recorder in class, however they might like to learn how to play a treble, tenor or bass recorder! (Much easier on the ears practicing at home!)

Any questions, ask any of the teachers involved.
Looking forward to a musical year!!

Music Committee Management Update

Thank you to Tim, Tina, Jeong, Ally and Angel who have volunteered and formed a new music committee for Eastwood Public School. The coordinators for each of the groups are as follows:

• Coordinator for Concert Band (Jeong Mi)
• Coordinator for String (Angel)
• Coordinator for Piano groups (Ally)
• Coordinator for Events (Tim and Tina)

As you can see, it would be ideal if we could get more parents to step up to the coordinator role for their child’s ensemble.

If you can please consider and help, that would be greatly appreciated! The more parents we have on deck to help, the less work for everyone.

We still need lots of volunteers to help support each coordinator within each group so please consider lending a hand in whatever capacity that you can.

Getting Involved with us

In order to keep fees low, we need more parent volunteers to help and coordinate. If you are interested in helping us, please feel free to contact us at music.events@eastwoodpnc.onmicrosoft.com

*All parent volunteers must have a valid Working With Children Check that can be obtained at the Service NSW website, thank you for your support in advance!
