From the Principal and Assistant Principal…
Parent/Carer/Teacher/Student Meetings Fantastic to so many of our parents/carers at last
night’s meetings. It is so important for teachers
to learn all about the children they teach. When we
all work together to support the children their
education will be more effective. If you want to follow up with further
concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the class teacher
or myself.
Student Voice at West We think students need to be actively involved in our school,
contributing to decision making processes and putting forward their
views, concerns and ideas.
Student Voice not only allows students to engage and participate
meaningfully in their own learning, it contributes to building student
leadership, confidence and other skills that ensure student wellbeing.
There are many opportunities for students to take up a “formal
leadership” position which many students strive for.
However, Student Voice is about all children at West. We ensure every
child is heard because every child has that right. We want all of our
students to be confident enough to voice their opinion and to have their
say.
Student Leadership Breakfast The Student Leadership team went to McDonalds to Brainstorm some
ideas with Ms Robinson and Mr Jeffers. We can't wait to share our
ideas with the school soon. Breakfast was yum and we got to learn more
about each other.

School Managed Head Lice Program
On Friday, we will conduct a “whole school” head lice check, which will be carried out by trained staff. Parents / carers will receive a personal phone call if their child is affected, and will be asked to treat their child/ren over the weekend before returning to school. Follow up checks will be carried out on Monday. We are happy to answer questions about our head lice program, please speak to our office staff if you have any concerns. Thank you to everyone for your assistance in this matter, your vigilance and regular monitoring is the best way to combat this problem.
Grade 3 iPads - Parent/Student

All students are required to wear full School Uniform.
Each child has been given an individually named photo envelope to take home. If your child did not receive an envelope, please
collect a blank order form from the school office.
Family Photo order forms are also available from
the school office. All students need to return their envelope
whether they order photos or not.
The office will collect orders up until 8.30am
Tuesday 28/2/2017
There are 2 ways to pay for photos Pay online at www.academyphoto.com.au using
the individual code that appears on your order
form (students will still need to bring the order to
school) Send cash or cheque, along with your order in
the supplied envelope. You must have correct
money, as the photographer will not have change.
The school cannot accept EFTPOS or BPay in this case, as the money goes to the photographer on the
day.
Our Easter Raffle is on again!

fundraising efforts by kindly donating an
Easter-themed item to each child’s

and there are 10 tickets in a book.
Please return all sold tickets and money to
the front office by Wednesday 29th March
