We are sure you will join us in wishing Juliette all the very best in her new role and I am sure she will have a positive impact on the schools in her portfolio just as she did here at Athelstone School. We will advise the school community as soon as possible who will be filling the position of Deputy Principal for the remainder of this year. SunSmart Policy update Did you know that Athelstone School is a SunSmart school? This means we Have a comprehensive sun protection policy that meets a minimum national standard covering the areas of curriculum, behaviour and the environment provide, or work towards, adequate shade facilities ensure children and staff are well-protected when the UV radiation level is 3 and above, particularly during peak UV times of the day teach, role model and reinforce positive skin protection behaviours agree to undertake policy reviews with Cancer Council SA to ensure policy and practice stay up to date with the national standard. This week staff and Governing Council have endorsed updates to our SunSmart policy that are inclusive of the latest information from the Cancer Council. As a result these updates ensure that a comprehensive sun protection policy is in place during Terms 1, 3 & 4 and when the UV radiation level is 3 and above. As a result of these updates it is no longer mandatory for hats to be worn in Term 2, unless the UV is at 3 or above (this can occur early in Term 2). However hats should be at school each day in the event that UV radiation levels do reach 3 during the school day. Please ensure hats are adequately labelled. Living Eggs Rooms 6, 7 and 10 are currently taking part in the Living Eggs Program. This week, each class received an incubator with 10 fertilised chicken eggs and a brooder box. The children have been very excited to watch the chicks hatch and grow. Students are learning about chickens, life cycles and how to care for animals. Principal Gyllian Godfrey Deputy Principal Leah Kelly Governing Council Chairperson David Evans
2 Road Safety Road safety around the school is once again a hot topic. Many families are choosing not to use the school crossing and may be putting their children at risk of being hit by reversing cars with foggy rear windows. A media awareness campaign has recently been launched highlighting the need for awareness of pedestrians by drivers. You may have seen the advertisements advising the need to watch out for children near vehicles. Pedestrians are not designed to survive crashes and are therefore more susceptible to the possibility of serious injury or death in the event of a crash. To remain safe, it s important that pedestrians make good choices every time they approach the road. Drivers also play a part in making the road a safer environment for pedestrians, they can do this by scanning the road at crossings and intersections and by always being aware of the potential presence of pedestrians. Did you know that in South Australia the law expects pedestrians Always cross in a straight line, unless the intersection allows you to cross diagonally. It is an offence for a pedestrian to cross a road diagonally unless at an intersection where this is allowed. Always cross a road by the shortest safest route and only when the pedestrian lights are green! A pedestrian must cross a road by the shortest safest route and they can only cross when the pedestrian lights are green. Always use the crossing if it is within 20 metres! A pedestrian must not cross a road within 20 metres of a crossing on the road, except at the crossing or another crossing. Drivers should be aware of the Road Rules relating to pedestrians particularly when it is necessary to give way to pedestrians when turning or when driving in or out of road related areas and private property. Parent role-modelling is the best way to emphasise the need to share our road ways responsibly both as drivers of vehicles and as parents walking with our children. Please keep our Athelstone School children safe. Words, words, words and choices Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. We have all heard this rhyme but as we now know it is not truthful. Word choices might not show the outward marks but can still cause scarring. It has been brought to our attention that the language choices of a few of the children are impacting on many more. Children are reporting to us the use of a range of words that are used to offend, words that although might be viewed as acceptable, in some contexts but can cause upset and lead to swearing. We understand that some children using these words might be repeating them after having heard the word or phrase used by other children, within family contexts, in song lyrics or while watching a sporting event and may not necessarily understand the meaning of the words or the hurt they may cause. It is clear that these language choices are inappropriate for a school setting that emphasise respect as a core value. As a staff we are discussing forms of acceptable language to provide a consistent approach when supporting children. We will also be discussing this with class groups. We actively encourage children to immediately report to a staff member when another person s language choices cause offence. We will follow up all reports of inappropriate language and deal with them in the way that best suits the situation. For more information on children and swearing visit aspx?p=114&np=141&id=1966 We would also appreciate your views on some of the on the fence words. Of course we know all the nasty ones; however there may be some that are no longer deemed so bad e.g. heck Click on the link and thumbs up or thumbs down or add your own.

5 More Than Money takes off in Room 11 Room 11 have been participating in an exciting Australian Curriculum linked financial literacy program supported by Beyond Bank. The aim of the program is for students to gain an understanding of budgeting and saving in order to attain financial goals. Room 11 students are currently achieving this by working (doing jobs at home, at school or in the community) to earn a fictional income which they can use to buy rewards at the end of the program, much to the delight of many parents! Through the process the students are learning about money, working, goal setting, budgeting, saving, investing and taxation. They are also learning to distinguish between needs and wants and develop the skills to manage income effectively. So far, Room 11 are on track to achieving an amazing reward which they will experience at the end of the term (to be revealed at a later date)! A huge thankyou to Matt Jenkins and Daniela Tomlins from Beyond Bank who have been supporting the students every Wednesday during Mathematics, HASS, Economics and Business lessons.

6 ESP fact active sheet pedestrian crash prevention safetytechnology Pedestrians are vulnerable road users because they have no protection if they are hit by a vehicle, which puts them at greater risk of injury or death. Most pedestrian fatalities and injuries happen in daylight, in dry conditions and in areas with a 50km/h and 60km/h speed limit, and often occur near the victim s home. Unfortunately, the pedestrian is most often at fault. Using a signalised pedestrian crossing wherever possible Press the walk button and be ready to step out as soon as the lights have changed and all traffic has stopped. Pay particular attention that vehicles in all lanes have stopped on multi-lane roads before crossing, even if the green symbol is showing. A green symbol means you can cross, if it is safe to do so A flashing red symbol means you can continue to cross but should not start crossing A steady red symbol means do not start to cross wait until the green symbol appears before beginning to cross Watch for cyclists who may not stop (even though they are supposed to) Even if the road is clear of vehicles, it s best to wait for a walk signal as cars can come from other roads and around corners. Some crossings also have count down timers which show how many seconds of crossing time remains. Crossing the road at other locations If there is not a signalised pedestrian crossing close by, choose the shortest, most visible and direct route and on multi-lane roads, consider crossing where traffic islands are present so you can cross the road in two stages. Always stop and look right, left, and right again before crossing the road. Do not cross the road from between parked cars, or near trees or bushes as drivers may not see you. Avoid crossing near a bend or crest in the road. Give yourself a good chance to see vehicles coming from both directions. Avoid crossing on roundabouts, particularly multi-lane roundabouts as they are very busy and complex and cars are not required to give way to you. General safety tips for pedestrians Wait for a sufficient gap in the traffic to safely cross, particularly when crossing with children or elderly people. If possible, plan walking routes to include footpaths, quieter roads, and signalised pedestrian crossings. By law, pedestrians must cross at traffic signals or pedestrian crossings if they are within 20 metres. If interaction with traffic is unavoidable, always establish eye contact with the drivers of the approaching vehicles and walk facing traffic. Never assume a driver has seen you just because you have seen them.
7 fact sheet pedestrian safety Here are a few other general tips to stay safe when out walking. W alk at quieter times of the day if possible, i.e. not during peak hour. I ncrease visibility at night by carrying a torch or wear reflective clothing. D on t listen to music while out walking because it can be distracting and often makes it harder to hear the noises around you. R emember cyclists and some cars are so quiet that you can't rely on sound alone to alert you of their presence. K eep your eyes up and don t text on your phone because you won t be paying attention to what s going on around you, especially when crossing roads. K eep watch of the ground for obstructions and uneven surfaces, and be aware of all of your surroundings. B e aware of vehicles turning into and driving out of driveways even though they need to give way to you, because they may not always see you. Y oung children should always be accompanied by an adult when walking. Until the age of about 10 or 11 children may not have the necessary skills and physical abilities to be safe in the road environment without adult supervision. H elp your child make decisions about where to walk, as well as where and when to cross the road. Teach them to stop, look and listen, and explain why it is important to do so. W hile out walking with your child, point out traffic signs and show them how to use the different types of pedestrian crossings. T each children to be observant. Remember that school zones are not pedestrian crossings, and although cars are driving slowly, you still need to remain attentive. What can drivers do? Speed can have a significant impact on pedestrian safety. Any speed above 30km/h significantly increases the risk of a pedestrian sustaining serious or fatal injuries if hit by a vehicle. I n car parks try to stick to walkways and watch for reversing lights of cars, indicating they may be about to move. The faster a driver is travelling, the risk of crash increases because the driver will have less time to react to avoid a collision or could even lose control of the vehicle completely. U se footpaths, shared paths or nature strips if they are available and avoid walking on the road. Drivers should reduce their speed in areas of high pedestrian activity, particularly around schools and shopping centres. Children are particularly vulnerable in the road environment and it is important to learn to be safe on the roads at an early age. Here are some tips on how to teach your children about pedestrian safety. DP /14 Teaching children
