EVENTS

SCHOOL PHOTO DAY IS COMING!

Dear Parents

 Your school photo day is coming! Approximately two weeks prior to the photo day, every student will receive a personalised flyer to bring home from Kapture Photography, containing your child’s unique codes for ordering school photos online.

KEEP YOUR FLYER SECURE!

The unique codes contained on the flyer will be issued only once.

Order EARLY for sibling photography

Sibling photos can ONLY be ordered online.  Once you receive the personalised flyers for your children, it is imperative that you order your sibling photo early to avoid missing out!  There is a physical limit in the school schedule to how many sibling photos can be taken.  Once the maximum capacity of sibling orders has been reached, no more sibling orders can be placed.

If maximum capacity is not reached, sibling orders close 12pm midday sharp, one business day prior to the first photo day.  

The school or the photographers cannot accept late orders for sibling photography.  Please do not ask as your request simply cannot be accommodated.

Order EARLY for discount photo day prices

Order your photos within 10 calendar days of photo day to receive discount photo day prices. Late orders are handled separately to the school delivery and incur a $30 custom service charge.

Other information

Your school will notify you in a few weeks when team and special group photos are available to view and purchase on the Kapture website.  Please note; class, individual and sibling portraits are not available to view online prior to purchase.

Kapture offer a money back guarantee for any parent who is not fully satisfied with their photo package. Should you have any queries before or after photo day, please check the FAQ’s on the Kapture website.

All students will be photographed individually on photo day for school administration records AS WELL as included in their class group presentation available for purchase to all families. Should there be any reason why your child should NOT be included in the photo shoot –please contact the school office. 

If COVID is still active in WA:

For the duration of Covid-19 in WA, please be aware that Kapture are following all recommended health guidelines and safe practices. Our photographers are acutely aware of the evolving situation surrounding Covid-19 and abide by each individual school's Covid-19 policies. Where possible, the photographers will use verbal queues and instructions in an effort to uphold our high standard of student presentation. Students may be instructed by photographers to use single use sterile combs, wet wipes or tissues or to fix their own collars, buttons and stray hairs.

 

SCHOOL PHOTO DAY : ONLINE ORDERING NOW OPEN!

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

This fortnight's PBS focus is :

We are respectful when we respect our own privacy and the privacy of others.

HEALTH TIPS

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying occurs when technology is used to deliberately and repeatedly engage in unfriendly behaviour to upset and hurt someone. Groups and individuals can be both the perpetrators and targets of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur in a number of ways including:

·         abusive texts and emails,

·         posting unkind messages or images,

·         imitating others online,

·         excluding others online and

·         inappropriate image tagging

Cyberbullying can happen to anyone, not just children and young people. It can be more damaging than offline bullying as it can occur 24/7, have a very large audience and be difficult to escape. It can invade a young persons social world both online and offline.  As with offline bullying, cyberbullying can have long lasting consequences and children need support to manage this. For more information or support on cyberbullying visit  www.raisingchildren.net.au or https://kidshelpline.com.au or http://au.reachout.com

P & C NEWS

FUNDRAISING

UNIFORM SHOP CO-ORDINATOR POSITION VACANCY

As my son will be in year 6 next year, and I now have a regular part time job, it is time to advertise for my replacement. 

Running the uniform shop for the past 3 years has been a rewarding experience for me :). 

The Volunteer Uniform Shop Coordinator needs to have reasonable computer skills as well as their own computer and printer.  Experience in clothing or retail would be an advantage but not necessary.  Training and support will be provided.  The hours of operation can vary, anywhere from 3 hours per week in slow periods, to 20ish hours in our busiest back to school period.  While the school and uniform shop relies on you being available at certain times and on particular dates, you can make the hours your own outside of this. 

If no one can take on this role, the P&C will have to send the uniform shop to the "Uniform Concepts" store which will likely be in Joondalup, and there will no longer be a uniform shop onsite. 

If you are interested to know more, please email Sue at  Rawlinson.uniforms@gmail.com. or speak to any P&C member.
