By listening to each other sharing responsibilities and supporting our classmates we were successful in our mission Miss Bletsogiannis JEANS FOR GENES DAY FUNDRAISER Thank you to the school community for their support in raising money towards Genetic Research by participating in Jeans for Genes Day mufti and raffle held on Friday 5th August Both the students and staff at St Spyridon Junior School enjoyed wearing their favourite pair of jeans on the day The lsquoTeddies in Jeansrsquo raffle raised more money than the prefects ever imagined it would A total of $945 was raised by the Year 6 Leaders on behalf of the St Spyridon Junior School to go to the Jeans for Genes Day charity The raffle will be drawn this Wednesday 10th August at the morning assembly

S E N I O R S C H O O L R E P O R T K-12 DIVINE LITURGY It is always a special occasion when our K-12 staff and students gather together to participate in the Divine Liturgy at St Spyridon Church It was especially moving on Thursday 11th August 2011 as this was the first time our newly ordained Deacon Father Peter Mavrommatis celebrated the College Divine Liturgy along with Father Sotiri Drapaniotis and Father Michael Mescherskij who always joins us on such occasions We missed the presence of Father Steven Scoutas and wish him a speedy recovery

ENFORCEMENT OF COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Some parents may not be aware of the Government policies in relation to regular attendance requirements for students enrolled at school School absences on a regular basis and habitual lateness are of concern as it has a negative impact on student outcomes Understanding of curriculum becomes disjointed and essential foundation learning is missed As a result achievement levels fall students begin telling themselves they are not good at school self confidence drops and they stop trying to do their

best To reduce this downward spiral parents must ensure their children attend regularly and are not late It is for all these reasons that we have provided this information in this issue of our newsletter The law in NSW places the responsibility on parents to ensure their child is enrolled at a government or non-government school and attends the school when teaching is provided Under Section 22 of the Education Act 1990 parents have a legal duty to ensure their school-aged children attend schoo1 School support ndash Senior School Procedures Here at the Senior School we consider absences of 10 days or more in a school year (without a diagnosed medical condition) to be unacceptable In such cases parental contact will be made a meeting arranged and an improvement plan developed Being punctual to school is also important to the student and the school It is the studentrsquos responsibility to get to school on time A student will be considered to be late to school if arrival time is after the 833am bell marking the end of Home Room Any student who is late to school must go to the front office to have their planner stamped and signature registered They must also bring a note from home explaining their lateness The following excuses are considered as being late without good reason oversleeping disorganised no reason 2 or more late arrivals to school eg due to transport (exception = private school bus) Disciplinary Action for lateness can include Counselling by Year Adviser Parent Contact ndash via phone ndash sms Improvement Plan Referral to relevant Dean Detention All parents are to ensure their children both attend school every school day and every school organised activity eg Divine Liturgy Carnival Excursion and are on time Further that parents should contact the School to inform of their childrsquos absence and then provide a note Mrs A Katsogiannis Principal Senior School

M I D D L E S C H O O L R E P O R T JEANS FOR GENES DAY Thank you to all students and staff who supported this event Your efforts have resulted in over $500 being donated towards this worthy cause An extra big well done to the following SRCrsquos who assisted with the selling of Denim Donuts Kosta Baratsas (Yr 11) Daniel Daneshzand (Yr 10) Dylan Kontos (Yr 9) Nikolas Baratsas (Yr 9) Kalioppe Kefalas (Yr 8) Aaron- Paul Kostandakis (Yr 7) Nicole Adam (Yr 7) GET INVOLVED $15 to Save a Life With famine in southern Somalia and more than 13 million people in need of food assistance countless lives hang in the balance An emergency donation of $15 will provide food for an entire month to a child or mother who desperately needs it To donate now and save lives log on to wwwwfporghornofafrica UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY AND KEEPING OUR STUDENTS AND YOUR CHILDREN SAFE The internet has become an integral part of life It is a powerful resource enabling people of all ages to learn and communicate in a myriad of new ways For children growing up in a world where the internet has always been available it is an essential tool They are the lsquodigital nativesrsquomdash always surrounded by online technology and using the internet from an increasingly early age As a result schools are increasingly encountering a number of issues which they have to deal with as a result of inappropriate use of this resource especially in the home Parents are sometimes not aware of how essential their role is in monitoring and guiding their childrenrsquos use of the internet and other communication technologies including mobile phones Unfortunately cyberbullying and the accessing of inappropriate content often occurs in the safety of the home unbeknown to parents and at some point the impact of this filters through to other areas including the school At St Spyridon through the Pastoral Care Program all students beginning in Year 7 participate in ongoing programs designed to build an awareness of cybersafety and digital citizenship

issues The effectiveness of such programs however is limited if parental guidance and effective monitoring in the home does not occur To keep children safe a partnership between the school and home is essential We understand everyonersquos lives are very busy however the safety and well being of children is paramount It is therefore important that all parents understand their responsibilities in relation to what their children do when using information communication technologies (ICTrsquoS) ie the computer the internet and their mobile phones Parents must educate themselves by visiting websites dedicated to cybersafety and reading material provided by the school such as this in newsletters Children can use the internet for many reasons These could include to

bull find assistance with school assignments bull learn skills bull gain knowledge bull meet new people who share similar

interests and bull keep in touch with friends

But there are risks Knowing how to use the internet safely is essential to having a positive online experience For parents and their children it is important to know how to apply these skills at home at school and in public places such as the library and internet cafeacutes The internet is an incredible tool It offers the chance to become part of an enormous virtual community connected by mutual interest rather than geography The internet can provide young and old users benefits including

bull independent learning and research skills and

bull improved communication skills through experience with learning technologies to access and create resources and communicate with others

Children access the internet for entertainment research school assignments and to communicate In doing so they can also often unknowingly place themselves in risky situations This includes by

bull giving out personal details about themselves to people or organisations they donrsquot know

bull posting unsuitable information online

7

bull agreeing to meet people theyrsquove only ever met online without speaking to a parent or carer

bull using provocative pseudonyms bull sharing passwords bull posting public profiles about themselves bull unsafe browsing or searching bull opening messages from people they donrsquot

know bull responding to unpleasant or suggestive

messages bull using online games or virtual worlds for

people over 18 only bull accessing inappropriate or illegal

material Not all internet users will experience problems However ensuring children understand these risks and have the knowledge to be cybersafe is important when accessing the internet at home at school and in public places Cyberbullying Children using the internet can be cyberbullied or harassed through internet services like email chat rooms instant messaging social networks or through websites Bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS is also considered cyberbullying Advice for parents Cyberbullying includes teasing spreading online rumours and sending unwanted or threatening messages or defamatory material While it can have a damaging effect on children and young people parents can encourage them to take control of the situation This may be done by

bull placing the computer in a high traffic area and in a manner that enables the screen to be visible and not allow the computer to be used in an unsupervised area such as the bedroom

bull limit access to social networking sites to set times after all school work has been completed or even to set times on the weekend especially if children are under the age of 15 years Unlimited and unsupervised ICT usage is not advisable

bull advising children not to reply to any messages from a bully Often if bullies donrsquot receive a response they will give up

bull learning how to block a bully so they canrsquot make contact

bull keeping a record of the harassing messages and any replies This may help

parents or the authorities if necessary to find out who is sending them

bull keeping usernames and passwords secret If someone misuses a username and password to post damaging information about a child it can be difficult to remove

bull children recognising that if messages are threatening a parent or carer should be told immediately Cyberbullying if threatening is illegal and can be reported to the police

bull contacting the website administrator (often known as the webmaster) to ask for content to be removed if bullying information has been posted on that website

Parents can

bull check the privacy settings for your internet services

bull visit the Cybersmart website for cyberbullying information

bull use support services such as the Kids Helpline or the Bullying No Way website

bull talk to the childrsquos school if cyberbullying involves another student

bull report threatening messages to the police bull contact the Cybersafety Contact Centre on

ENFORCEMENT OF COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Some parents may not be aware of the Government policies in relation to regular attendance requirements for students enrolled at school School absences on a regular basis and habitual lateness are of concern as it has a negative impact on student outcomes Understanding of curriculum becomes disjointed and essential foundation learning is missed As a result achievement levels fall students begin telling themselves they are not good at school self confidence drops and they stop trying to do their

best To reduce this downward spiral parents must ensure their children attend regularly and are not late It is for all these reasons that we have provided this information in this issue of our newsletter The law in NSW places the responsibility on parents to ensure their child is enrolled at a government or non-government school and attends the school when teaching is provided Under Section 22 of the Education Act 1990 parents have a legal duty to ensure their school-aged children attend schoo1 School support ndash Senior School Procedures Here at the Senior School we consider absences of 10 days or more in a school year (without a diagnosed medical condition) to be unacceptable In such cases parental contact will be made a meeting arranged and an improvement plan developed Being punctual to school is also important to the student and the school It is the studentrsquos responsibility to get to school on time A student will be considered to be late to school if arrival time is after the 833am bell marking the end of Home Room Any student who is late to school must go to the front office to have their planner stamped and signature registered They must also bring a note from home explaining their lateness The following excuses are considered as being late without good reason oversleeping disorganised no reason 2 or more late arrivals to school eg due to transport (exception = private school bus) Disciplinary Action for lateness can include Counselling by Year Adviser Parent Contact ndash via phone ndash sms Improvement Plan Referral to relevant Dean Detention All parents are to ensure their children both attend school every school day and every school organised activity eg Divine Liturgy Carnival Excursion and are on time Further that parents should contact the School to inform of their childrsquos absence and then provide a note Mrs A Katsogiannis Principal Senior School

M I D D L E S C H O O L R E P O R T JEANS FOR GENES DAY Thank you to all students and staff who supported this event Your efforts have resulted in over $500 being donated towards this worthy cause An extra big well done to the following SRCrsquos who assisted with the selling of Denim Donuts Kosta Baratsas (Yr 11) Daniel Daneshzand (Yr 10) Dylan Kontos (Yr 9) Nikolas Baratsas (Yr 9) Kalioppe Kefalas (Yr 8) Aaron- Paul Kostandakis (Yr 7) Nicole Adam (Yr 7) GET INVOLVED $15 to Save a Life With famine in southern Somalia and more than 13 million people in need of food assistance countless lives hang in the balance An emergency donation of $15 will provide food for an entire month to a child or mother who desperately needs it To donate now and save lives log on to wwwwfporghornofafrica UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY AND KEEPING OUR STUDENTS AND YOUR CHILDREN SAFE The internet has become an integral part of life It is a powerful resource enabling people of all ages to learn and communicate in a myriad of new ways For children growing up in a world where the internet has always been available it is an essential tool They are the lsquodigital nativesrsquomdash always surrounded by online technology and using the internet from an increasingly early age As a result schools are increasingly encountering a number of issues which they have to deal with as a result of inappropriate use of this resource especially in the home Parents are sometimes not aware of how essential their role is in monitoring and guiding their childrenrsquos use of the internet and other communication technologies including mobile phones Unfortunately cyberbullying and the accessing of inappropriate content often occurs in the safety of the home unbeknown to parents and at some point the impact of this filters through to other areas including the school At St Spyridon through the Pastoral Care Program all students beginning in Year 7 participate in ongoing programs designed to build an awareness of cybersafety and digital citizenship

issues The effectiveness of such programs however is limited if parental guidance and effective monitoring in the home does not occur To keep children safe a partnership between the school and home is essential We understand everyonersquos lives are very busy however the safety and well being of children is paramount It is therefore important that all parents understand their responsibilities in relation to what their children do when using information communication technologies (ICTrsquoS) ie the computer the internet and their mobile phones Parents must educate themselves by visiting websites dedicated to cybersafety and reading material provided by the school such as this in newsletters Children can use the internet for many reasons These could include to

bull find assistance with school assignments bull learn skills bull gain knowledge bull meet new people who share similar

interests and bull keep in touch with friends

But there are risks Knowing how to use the internet safely is essential to having a positive online experience For parents and their children it is important to know how to apply these skills at home at school and in public places such as the library and internet cafeacutes The internet is an incredible tool It offers the chance to become part of an enormous virtual community connected by mutual interest rather than geography The internet can provide young and old users benefits including

bull independent learning and research skills and

bull improved communication skills through experience with learning technologies to access and create resources and communicate with others

Children access the internet for entertainment research school assignments and to communicate In doing so they can also often unknowingly place themselves in risky situations This includes by

bull giving out personal details about themselves to people or organisations they donrsquot know

bull posting unsuitable information online

7

bull agreeing to meet people theyrsquove only ever met online without speaking to a parent or carer

bull using provocative pseudonyms bull sharing passwords bull posting public profiles about themselves bull unsafe browsing or searching bull opening messages from people they donrsquot

know bull responding to unpleasant or suggestive

messages bull using online games or virtual worlds for

people over 18 only bull accessing inappropriate or illegal

material Not all internet users will experience problems However ensuring children understand these risks and have the knowledge to be cybersafe is important when accessing the internet at home at school and in public places Cyberbullying Children using the internet can be cyberbullied or harassed through internet services like email chat rooms instant messaging social networks or through websites Bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS is also considered cyberbullying Advice for parents Cyberbullying includes teasing spreading online rumours and sending unwanted or threatening messages or defamatory material While it can have a damaging effect on children and young people parents can encourage them to take control of the situation This may be done by

bull placing the computer in a high traffic area and in a manner that enables the screen to be visible and not allow the computer to be used in an unsupervised area such as the bedroom

bull limit access to social networking sites to set times after all school work has been completed or even to set times on the weekend especially if children are under the age of 15 years Unlimited and unsupervised ICT usage is not advisable

bull advising children not to reply to any messages from a bully Often if bullies donrsquot receive a response they will give up

bull learning how to block a bully so they canrsquot make contact

bull keeping a record of the harassing messages and any replies This may help

parents or the authorities if necessary to find out who is sending them

bull keeping usernames and passwords secret If someone misuses a username and password to post damaging information about a child it can be difficult to remove

bull children recognising that if messages are threatening a parent or carer should be told immediately Cyberbullying if threatening is illegal and can be reported to the police

bull contacting the website administrator (often known as the webmaster) to ask for content to be removed if bullying information has been posted on that website

Parents can

bull check the privacy settings for your internet services

bull visit the Cybersmart website for cyberbullying information

bull use support services such as the Kids Helpline or the Bullying No Way website

bull talk to the childrsquos school if cyberbullying involves another student

bull report threatening messages to the police bull contact the Cybersafety Contact Centre on

issues The effectiveness of such programs however is limited if parental guidance and effective monitoring in the home does not occur To keep children safe a partnership between the school and home is essential We understand everyonersquos lives are very busy however the safety and well being of children is paramount It is therefore important that all parents understand their responsibilities in relation to what their children do when using information communication technologies (ICTrsquoS) ie the computer the internet and their mobile phones Parents must educate themselves by visiting websites dedicated to cybersafety and reading material provided by the school such as this in newsletters Children can use the internet for many reasons These could include to

bull find assistance with school assignments bull learn skills bull gain knowledge bull meet new people who share similar

interests and bull keep in touch with friends

But there are risks Knowing how to use the internet safely is essential to having a positive online experience For parents and their children it is important to know how to apply these skills at home at school and in public places such as the library and internet cafeacutes The internet is an incredible tool It offers the chance to become part of an enormous virtual community connected by mutual interest rather than geography The internet can provide young and old users benefits including

bull independent learning and research skills and

bull improved communication skills through experience with learning technologies to access and create resources and communicate with others

Children access the internet for entertainment research school assignments and to communicate In doing so they can also often unknowingly place themselves in risky situations This includes by

bull giving out personal details about themselves to people or organisations they donrsquot know

bull posting unsuitable information online

7

bull agreeing to meet people theyrsquove only ever met online without speaking to a parent or carer

bull using provocative pseudonyms bull sharing passwords bull posting public profiles about themselves bull unsafe browsing or searching bull opening messages from people they donrsquot

know bull responding to unpleasant or suggestive

messages bull using online games or virtual worlds for

people over 18 only bull accessing inappropriate or illegal

material Not all internet users will experience problems However ensuring children understand these risks and have the knowledge to be cybersafe is important when accessing the internet at home at school and in public places Cyberbullying Children using the internet can be cyberbullied or harassed through internet services like email chat rooms instant messaging social networks or through websites Bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS is also considered cyberbullying Advice for parents Cyberbullying includes teasing spreading online rumours and sending unwanted or threatening messages or defamatory material While it can have a damaging effect on children and young people parents can encourage them to take control of the situation This may be done by

bull placing the computer in a high traffic area and in a manner that enables the screen to be visible and not allow the computer to be used in an unsupervised area such as the bedroom

bull limit access to social networking sites to set times after all school work has been completed or even to set times on the weekend especially if children are under the age of 15 years Unlimited and unsupervised ICT usage is not advisable

bull advising children not to reply to any messages from a bully Often if bullies donrsquot receive a response they will give up

bull learning how to block a bully so they canrsquot make contact

bull keeping a record of the harassing messages and any replies This may help

parents or the authorities if necessary to find out who is sending them

bull keeping usernames and passwords secret If someone misuses a username and password to post damaging information about a child it can be difficult to remove

bull children recognising that if messages are threatening a parent or carer should be told immediately Cyberbullying if threatening is illegal and can be reported to the police

bull contacting the website administrator (often known as the webmaster) to ask for content to be removed if bullying information has been posted on that website

Parents can

bull check the privacy settings for your internet services

bull visit the Cybersmart website for cyberbullying information

bull use support services such as the Kids Helpline or the Bullying No Way website

bull talk to the childrsquos school if cyberbullying involves another student

bull report threatening messages to the police bull contact the Cybersafety Contact Centre on

ENFORCEMENT OF COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Some parents may not be aware of the Government policies in relation to regular attendance requirements for students enrolled at school School absences on a regular basis and habitual lateness are of concern as it has a negative impact on student outcomes Understanding of curriculum becomes disjointed and essential foundation learning is missed As a result achievement levels fall students begin telling themselves they are not good at school self confidence drops and they stop trying to do their

best To reduce this downward spiral parents must ensure their children attend regularly and are not late It is for all these reasons that we have provided this information in this issue of our newsletter The law in NSW places the responsibility on parents to ensure their child is enrolled at a government or non-government school and attends the school when teaching is provided Under Section 22 of the Education Act 1990 parents have a legal duty to ensure their school-aged children attend schoo1 School support ndash Senior School Procedures Here at the Senior School we consider absences of 10 days or more in a school year (without a diagnosed medical condition) to be unacceptable In such cases parental contact will be made a meeting arranged and an improvement plan developed Being punctual to school is also important to the student and the school It is the studentrsquos responsibility to get to school on time A student will be considered to be late to school if arrival time is after the 833am bell marking the end of Home Room Any student who is late to school must go to the front office to have their planner stamped and signature registered They must also bring a note from home explaining their lateness The following excuses are considered as being late without good reason oversleeping disorganised no reason 2 or more late arrivals to school eg due to transport (exception = private school bus) Disciplinary Action for lateness can include Counselling by Year Adviser Parent Contact ndash via phone ndash sms Improvement Plan Referral to relevant Dean Detention All parents are to ensure their children both attend school every school day and every school organised activity eg Divine Liturgy Carnival Excursion and are on time Further that parents should contact the School to inform of their childrsquos absence and then provide a note Mrs A Katsogiannis Principal Senior School

M I D D L E S C H O O L R E P O R T JEANS FOR GENES DAY Thank you to all students and staff who supported this event Your efforts have resulted in over $500 being donated towards this worthy cause An extra big well done to the following SRCrsquos who assisted with the selling of Denim Donuts Kosta Baratsas (Yr 11) Daniel Daneshzand (Yr 10) Dylan Kontos (Yr 9) Nikolas Baratsas (Yr 9) Kalioppe Kefalas (Yr 8) Aaron- Paul Kostandakis (Yr 7) Nicole Adam (Yr 7) GET INVOLVED $15 to Save a Life With famine in southern Somalia and more than 13 million people in need of food assistance countless lives hang in the balance An emergency donation of $15 will provide food for an entire month to a child or mother who desperately needs it To donate now and save lives log on to wwwwfporghornofafrica UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY AND KEEPING OUR STUDENTS AND YOUR CHILDREN SAFE The internet has become an integral part of life It is a powerful resource enabling people of all ages to learn and communicate in a myriad of new ways For children growing up in a world where the internet has always been available it is an essential tool They are the lsquodigital nativesrsquomdash always surrounded by online technology and using the internet from an increasingly early age As a result schools are increasingly encountering a number of issues which they have to deal with as a result of inappropriate use of this resource especially in the home Parents are sometimes not aware of how essential their role is in monitoring and guiding their childrenrsquos use of the internet and other communication technologies including mobile phones Unfortunately cyberbullying and the accessing of inappropriate content often occurs in the safety of the home unbeknown to parents and at some point the impact of this filters through to other areas including the school At St Spyridon through the Pastoral Care Program all students beginning in Year 7 participate in ongoing programs designed to build an awareness of cybersafety and digital citizenship

issues The effectiveness of such programs however is limited if parental guidance and effective monitoring in the home does not occur To keep children safe a partnership between the school and home is essential We understand everyonersquos lives are very busy however the safety and well being of children is paramount It is therefore important that all parents understand their responsibilities in relation to what their children do when using information communication technologies (ICTrsquoS) ie the computer the internet and their mobile phones Parents must educate themselves by visiting websites dedicated to cybersafety and reading material provided by the school such as this in newsletters Children can use the internet for many reasons These could include to

bull find assistance with school assignments bull learn skills bull gain knowledge bull meet new people who share similar

interests and bull keep in touch with friends

But there are risks Knowing how to use the internet safely is essential to having a positive online experience For parents and their children it is important to know how to apply these skills at home at school and in public places such as the library and internet cafeacutes The internet is an incredible tool It offers the chance to become part of an enormous virtual community connected by mutual interest rather than geography The internet can provide young and old users benefits including

bull independent learning and research skills and

bull improved communication skills through experience with learning technologies to access and create resources and communicate with others

Children access the internet for entertainment research school assignments and to communicate In doing so they can also often unknowingly place themselves in risky situations This includes by

bull giving out personal details about themselves to people or organisations they donrsquot know

bull posting unsuitable information online

7

bull agreeing to meet people theyrsquove only ever met online without speaking to a parent or carer

bull using provocative pseudonyms bull sharing passwords bull posting public profiles about themselves bull unsafe browsing or searching bull opening messages from people they donrsquot

know bull responding to unpleasant or suggestive

messages bull using online games or virtual worlds for

people over 18 only bull accessing inappropriate or illegal

material Not all internet users will experience problems However ensuring children understand these risks and have the knowledge to be cybersafe is important when accessing the internet at home at school and in public places Cyberbullying Children using the internet can be cyberbullied or harassed through internet services like email chat rooms instant messaging social networks or through websites Bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS is also considered cyberbullying Advice for parents Cyberbullying includes teasing spreading online rumours and sending unwanted or threatening messages or defamatory material While it can have a damaging effect on children and young people parents can encourage them to take control of the situation This may be done by

bull placing the computer in a high traffic area and in a manner that enables the screen to be visible and not allow the computer to be used in an unsupervised area such as the bedroom

bull limit access to social networking sites to set times after all school work has been completed or even to set times on the weekend especially if children are under the age of 15 years Unlimited and unsupervised ICT usage is not advisable

bull advising children not to reply to any messages from a bully Often if bullies donrsquot receive a response they will give up

bull learning how to block a bully so they canrsquot make contact

bull keeping a record of the harassing messages and any replies This may help

parents or the authorities if necessary to find out who is sending them

bull keeping usernames and passwords secret If someone misuses a username and password to post damaging information about a child it can be difficult to remove

bull children recognising that if messages are threatening a parent or carer should be told immediately Cyberbullying if threatening is illegal and can be reported to the police

bull contacting the website administrator (often known as the webmaster) to ask for content to be removed if bullying information has been posted on that website

Parents can

bull check the privacy settings for your internet services

bull visit the Cybersmart website for cyberbullying information

bull use support services such as the Kids Helpline or the Bullying No Way website

bull talk to the childrsquos school if cyberbullying involves another student

bull report threatening messages to the police bull contact the Cybersafety Contact Centre on
