Swansea Public School Newsletter

Term 4 October 22nd 2019

From the Principal

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Miss Henry is currently organising a special Halloween Disco for next Thursday, 31 October (Halloween night). Please see the notes that have been distributed and now in this newsletter.

Hearing Checks

We will be conducting Hearing checks at school this term, utilising a hearing screen App called Sound Scotus. Sound Scouts has been developed in collaboration with Australian Hearing,

Your child may be identified by their class teacher as a priority for this screening, and will be required to play a game on an iPad using a set of headphones under the supervision of a trained SLSO.

A follow up hearing check may be conducted if normal thresholds have not been met in the initial Sound Scouts attempt. If your child receives a second result indicating normal thresholds have not been me, we will contact you to discuss the results.

If you do NOT want your child to be screened, please advise the school Office by telephone 4971 1267 or in writing as soon as possible.

 

This is a repeat from last week’s newsletter:

Complete a Student Class Request 2020 form that is included in this newsletter if you would like to have on record some special requests. For instance if you have twins, you may like to suggest that they be in the same class or you make request that they be in different classes. It is important that I have a written record of your request as this will provide information for Mr Carr. This request form is available from the front office. The information on these forms are treated confidentially; however please be advised that not all requests may be able to be undertaken. Please ensure that any forms are returned to me by Friday 15 November (Week 5).
