Dear Parents, Guardians & Carers,
What a busy 2 weeks we have had since our last newsletter with lots happening both at school and sporting events for our students.
Year 5 Camp
Our year 5 students along with our staff had a fantastic time at Phillip Island with the predicted weather better than we expected. Only causing us to change our plans on the final morning. Students enjoyed participating in canoeing, raft building, flying fox, bush cooking and archery. They also had an amazing time at the disco with some very cool outfits. If you wish to view a video of year 5 camp, please check our facebook page.
District Winter Sport
Year 5/6 students participated in the District Winter sports day on Tuesday 23rd May, playing netball, football, soccer, hockey & t-ball. All students had a great day and are to be commended on their sportsmanship. Our hockey team was successful in winning through to the Division stage and have successfully moved through to the regional finals.
Regional Cross Country

New Admin Area
We are on schedule for handover of the new administration area next Friday 9th June which we are very excited about. We will be transitioning into the new space during the following week. We ask for your patience and understanding during this time as there will no doubt be some teething problems.

St. Gabriel's Primary School is a child safe school. We are committed to embedding a culture of Child Safety, adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards: Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministeral Order No. 1359). We believe that ensuring the safety of the students in our care is an integral part of who we are as a Catholic faith community. The school acts in accordance with the Ministerial Order through policies, procedures, measures and practices, staff training and, ultimately, through the strategies used in working with the students and families within our school community. We continue to maintain and develop a safe and supportive learning environment where staff are focused on engaging students in meaningful, relevant and challenging learning experiences.

Signing children in and out of school and Absentee notifications
If your child needs to leave early, or has an appointment, then parents must sign them out and back in when they return. A note is to be supplied to the classroom teacher so that they are aware of why the child is leaving and they can then record the absence. Alternatively this can be entered as PNA via PAM.
If your child is unwell, to speed up their recovery we recommend keeping your child at home until they are fully recovered.
Absentee notifications can be entered via PAM up to seven days, if you will be away longer than this you will be required to contact the office on 5174 5515.
Please note all absentee notifications must be completed via a Parent Notified Absence in PAM prior to 9.30am. If we have not received notification you will be sent a message via SMS with regards to your student/s being absent for the day you will need to phone the admin office on 5174 5515 to advise the reason why the student is absent as this is a legal requirement.
Student Lunches
