Year One Move Next Week
Dear Parents/Guardians
of Year One students,
A decision was made
for the relocation of neighbourhoods in the junior school to address the issues
of space especially for the current Year one neighbourhood. There was also a
desire to move the library more centrally and connect it with the junior school
library.
In 2014 the Year
two neighbourhood will be located in the current library complex.
In the week
beginning Monday 2nd December, we will be beginning our relocation
of the junior school neighbourhoods. Year one learning will be conducted on the
gymnasium stage and aftercare area for the week, with children returning to
their ‘new’ neighbourhood on the Friday. (This will be the current Year two
neighbourhood)
We ask that
children and parents support the move by clearing out their lockers this week,
taking home any non-essential items. Teachers will manage the collection of any
essential items for storage and relocation, including books, stationery etc.
The meeting point
for drop-off in the morning and pick-up in afternoon during this week will be
on the ramp at the back door of the stage. We ask that parents and children use
this entry so as not to create confusion for the before and after school
program.
Please feel welcome
to contact me to discuss any areas requiring clarification.

Parent Stitch and..Socialise Evening!
All parents are invited to help finish and stitch/ cut some of the year one toys. I have booked a room (called the Ladies Lounge) at the Brunswick Sporting Club (on Weston Street) opposite Barkly Square at 7:30pm on Thursday the 28th November. Dads are absolutely welcome to too! Please don't feel like you need to be good at sewing as there are other jobs too and it is also a good time to relax and socialize with each other.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Hilary

Student Profiles
In order to further promote a sense of belonging among students and teachers at Princes Hill, we are introducing the development of student and teacher profiles. We are seeking to understand what has contributed to your child becoming the person your child is today?
Each child from Prep to Year 5 is asked to write their autobiography with the support of their parents.
Please ensure that the autobiographical information provided is suitable for sharing with the all the members of the neighbourhood. The teachers will read the published profiles to get to know the many aspects of their students and the students may share them with each other. The first step in helping students learn is to get a clear picture of who they are, both as a group and as individuals. The children will update this profile each year.
The children from Year 3 to Year 5 will upload the student profile template on to their laptops and are asked to complete their autobiographies with their families by the end of November. This activity will be included in your child’s learning agreement.
An autobiography includes information such as name, when you were born, where were you born, your parents name, background, languages spoken at home, interests and hobbies, trips, special events, possible aspirations.
The children in Years 3, 4, 5 who are not part of the laptop program and the Prep to Year 1 children are asked to write their autobiographies with their parents in a word document: font Tahoma, size 10, about half a page [up to 500 words]. Please email it to the school (princes.hill.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au) or your child’s home teacher by the end of November. It will be copied and pasted into the student profile template which has been specially designed.

4. Insert text ( Arial 10 pt, single spacing)
The template is for guidelines only and there is no need to submit student profiles in this format.
Any questions, please speak to Tomo or Rita.

Bazaar Helpers!
Dear Parents,
Just a reminder to check the rosters that are displayed in the neighbourhood for volunteering at the Bazaar. We still need more people to help with pack up / set up and snow cone stall helpers too. Your time will help make this annual event fun and easy for everyone involved.
Thank you
