School assemblies are held in our gymnasium every Monday morning at 9.00 am. Assemblies usually last for 30 minutes. The focus is to acknowledge and celebrate student achievement and success. There are weekly presentations and performances, as well as reports of events that students have attended.
Our monitoring of student progress and achievement is ongoing. Each term students receive a report– a cumulative record of selected student activities taken during the term. These items will be a snapshot of student achievement through common assessment tasks. The work samples included will outline the criteria of the task, teacher comments and student self-assessment. The students will also keep a range of their work in memory folders which can be shared with parents during parent teacher interviews. More comprehensive reports are completed at the end of terms 2 & 4.
All students who have had asthma will need to have a documented asthma management plan. Students may carry their own puffers or leave them with the class teacher. Romsey Primary School is registered as an Asthma Friendly School.
In Victoria attendance at school is compulsory for all children aged between six and fifteen years of age. When children are enrolled it is expected that their attendance will be regular and punctual. A written explanation is required for all absences on the return to school of the student. It is usually harder for a student to catch up on work than to master it when taught in class. Keeping absences to a minimum will lead to maximum learning opportunities.
The school facilitates student banking through the Commonwealth Bank. Bank day is Tuesday each week. Students bring money and banking details to the school office where parent volunteers process the deposits.

Bicycle Education is conducted each year for students in year 4. This program concentrates on control and safe riding practices, as well as road safety. All bikes used in the program undergo a safety check prior to the first lesson.
It is not appropriate for students prep - year 3 to ride their bicycles to school as they have not yet developed adequate peripheral vision and road awareness to be safe on the roads. Students who ride their bicycle to school must wear a helmet, and demonstrate good road sense and awareness. Bikes cannot be ridden within the school grounds. Bikes are placed in one of the two bike sheds during the day. A safety lock is recommended. The bike sheds are out of bounds for all students during the school day.
Parents do not need to supply students with classroom materials as these are all provided through the payment of the student materials levy. Payment can be made in one lump sum by the end of February, or through quarterly payments each term.
All classes undertake classroom activities that reinforce the “Bounceback” message of enhanced resilience. This forms a part of our comprehensive student wellbeing focus and Positive Behaviour Management strategy.
At the commencement of each year cross-age buddy classes are established. These paired classes generally undertake cross-age activities on a fortnightly basis. Buddy classes help develop a more caring environment where students of different ages learn to cooperate and work together to meet common goals.
A school bus runs from Monegeetta daily. To be eligible to access the free bus service students need to reside more than 4.8 km from the school. Application forms are available at the school office. Bus protocols and arrangements are available from the school office, or our bus coordinator, Mr. John Fryer.
The canteen operates Monday to Friday and is run as a service to our students. The school employs a canteen manager, Mrs. Chris Dickinson, who oversees the smooth running of the canteen and ensures that volunteers comply with food handling guidelines. Notices requesting volunteers appear in the newsletter. A canteen menu and price list is published each term. Lunch ordering is done by writing the student’s name, class and items required, price and total amount on a paper bag with the money enclosed. Orders are placed in the plastic tubs in classrooms.
Cars should only be parked in designated car parking spaces in Station Street. All pedestrians must use the school crossings when crossing Station Street and White Avenue. It is not appropriate for parents to use the staff car park as this creates a danger with student pedestrian traffic in a vehicle area.
Our school charter is a documented three– year plan of improvement for all areas of school operation. The current charter 2004– 2006 is available from the school office.
Students can take off items of clothing and leave them in the wrong places, especially during changeable weather. It is important to have all items of clothing and personal belonging clearly labeled with the child’s name so that it can be returned if found. Lost property is displayed for students to claim, and disposed of if unclaimed at the end of each term.
The Student Code of Conduct reinforces the Positive Behaviour Management strategies used throughout the school. This is underpinned by our school values. A copy of the Student Code of Conduct is available on request from the school office and is contained in the School Charter.
The school has worked to develop open, honest, accessible and respectful communication with parents and the wider community. Regular publications such as the school newsletter (InForm), Romsey Rag, and special notices and unit newsletters should be read by parents to keep up to date with school events. Formal parent/ teacher interviews are held twice each year in February and June. Parents can request interviews at other times with classroom teachers, wellbeing coordinator (Assistant Principal, Mrs. Joan Gibbs) or Principal Mr. Barney Healy.
All students have access to modern information technology equipment. Computers for student use are located in classrooms with their use integrated into all curriculum areas. The school meets, or exceeds the government target of one computer for every five students. In addition to computers the school has a range of other information technology hardware such as scanners, digital projector and digital cameras.
All students take instruction in all eight key learning areas throughout the school week. These are English, Mathematics, Science, Studies of Society and Environment, Technology, Health and Physical Education, The Arts, and, Language Other Than English (Indonesian). The school has specialist teachers in Performing Arts (music, dance & drama), Visual Arts (art & craft) and LOTE (Indonesian). Parents are kept informed on the school curriculum through newsletters and notices, information sessions, special courses such as the Parent Helpers Program, special groups such as the Parents Indonesian group, and special family activity nights.
The Department of Education provides for pupil free Professional Development and Reporting days each year when students do not attend school. Parents will be notified of the dates for these days in the school newsletter.
Dental Health Services will offer care to the children on a two year rotational basis. All students in years prep to year 6 are eligible to receive an examination and treatment. A consent form will be sent home, parents/ guardians need to read this carefully, complete and return to school. There is a small fee for this service ($25.00 per child/ $100.00 per family maximum), except for health card holders, where the service is offered free. The dental van visits schools every two years, however at other times parents can contact the school dental service to access the service at Sunbury or at a van at another location.
While school uniform is not compulsory at Romsey Primary School, it is nonetheless highly recommended and encouraged. On special occasions such as school photo day, excursions and sports days we expect all students to be in uniform. The school keeps a substantial stock of uniform items. The uniform shop is open daily from 8.45-9.15AM. The uniform shop is located at the rear of the main office. Students need to adhere to the school Sun Smart policy in terms 1 & 4. This includes the wearing of an appropriate Sun Smart hat, and tops with collar and sleeves.
Appropriate footwear that enclose toes must be worn at all times. Open sandals or thongs are not appropriate for school use.
A note should be sent along to the teacher in the morning making arrangements to collect children if leaving school early. In an emergency you may phone the school to arrange for your child to be brought to the office for collection. Parents will need to sign their child out in the Movement Book. The Movement Book is kept at the front office.
The Early Years Literacy Program teaches the skills of reading, writing, and speaking & listening. In the classroom a two-hour literacy block is established with no interruptions. The students work in groups according to their needs. Students have special work organised for them to meet their individual or group learning needs. Parents can be involved as classroom helpers with both reading and writing and training sessions are available to help train parents on how students learn to read and write. These sessions are held at the beginning of the school year.
The Early Years Numeracy Program teaches the skills of number, measurement, and chance & data. In the classroom a one-hour numeracy block is established with no interruptions. The students work in groups according to their needs. Again, students have special work organised for them in the form of Individual or Group Learning Plans. Parents can be involved as classroom helpers in numeracy.
The EMA is payable in respect of eligible students in Primary or Post Primary Schools, with a cut off point when the student turns 16.
Parents who hold a Commonwealth Pensioner Health Benefits Card, Health Care Card or Health Benefits Card will be entitled to the allowance.
The allowance is payable in two instalments, during the first term and third term. Application forms will be available from the school office. Please read the newsletter for reminders of such applications.
The EMA is a grant from the government, which is provided to families to assist in meeting the educational expenses of their children. Half of the amount is paid directly to the school to be used for items such as books & materials, camps, excursions or other educational expenses. Cheques are drawn in the name of the applicant and sent to the school for distribution to parents.
Children are able to attend school from the beginning of the school year , if they have turned five years of age by April 30 of that same year. All children must attend school when they are six years of age. When being enrolled in school, parents need to provide:
· A birth certificate for Australian born residents or citizenship papers, passport or travel documents for non-Australian resident or non-Australian born students.
· A School Entry Immunisation Certificate which is issued by your local council health department. Non-immunised children will be excluded from school if there is an outbreak of measles or diphtheria.
· Students transferring from other schools are also required to have these documents. They can by passed on from the exiting school to us in most cases. Students will also need a transfer note from their previous school.
Excursions, activities and camps are arranged at regular intervals throughout the school year to enable students to have first hand contact with a variety of experiences. Excursions vary from a short walk to a local point of interest to day trips away. Visits from experts or artists are facilitated at the school as well. A school camping program is also offered for students in middle (years 3 & 4) and senior classes (years 5 & 6) . All these activities have a strong educational focus and are closely related to class work, both before and after the special event. Every effort is made to run these activities at a reasonable cost with the expectation that all students participate.
For all excursions (except for very local activities) and camps a parent permission form must be returned prior to your child participating in the activity. Without the permission form at school children will not be able to attend the activity. Students should be in school uniform for these activities.
Romsey Primary School opened on its present site in 1994. Situated on 11.5 hectares the school has ten permanent classrooms, seven relocatable classrooms, atrium areas, library, performing arts centre, art room, gymnasium, LOTE room, and canteen. Our generous grounds boast four adventure playground areas, football oval, soccer pitch, cricket oval, athletics area, two basketball courts and two tennis courts. We have a number of outside learning project areas including Frog Ponds and Honeyeater Haven, vegetable garden and glasshouse. The school takes great pride in these outstanding facilities and works to have high maintenance regimes that ensure the best learning environment for our students.
In light of expected student requirements School Council sets annual fees. At this stage we are able to structure these to enable them to be GST exempt. Parents will be notified in term 4 of the fee structure for the following year. Fees may be paid at the office either annually or at the commencement of each term.
School fees and curriculum levies cover the cost of all day-to-day materials that students use at school. On payment of fees, children will not need to bring any additional books, pencils, textas etc. to school. Fees do not cover additional school expenses such as excursions and special events.
The First Aid room is used by children in need of attention or those children waiting to be taken home by parents. The school has a number of First Aid trained staff members. In the case of minor injuries, first aid will be administered at the school, however in the case of a serious accident or illness, medical aid will be called and every effort made to contact parents. It is most important to ensure that the school office is made aware of any changes to telephone numbers/ addresses for home or business, and that names and phone numbers of your emergency contacts are kept up to date. It is also important to notify the school of any known medical problems that your child may experience.
Fundraising activities support the provision of additional equipment to support your child’s learning and social activities at Romsey Primary School. Fundraising activities are coordinated by the Parent Club, with the support of all staff and School Council. Parental assistance and support is necessary to ensure that we are able to raise the additional funds necessary to provide the best learning environment for our students. Some regular fundraisers in the past have been the biennial school carnival, trivia nights, Paul’s Milk Collect-A-Cap Promotion, as well as drives and other special events.
The Victorian Modern Cursive Script is taught at all year levels. A copy of this writing script is available to all families. Teachers use a variety of activities to aid in the development of good handwriting skills. Writing patterns establish directional sequences and movements and underlie the formation of the alphabet. Students are introduced to lower case letters first. Children should be encouraged to begin at the top of letters and numbers. Students at all levels are encouraged to develop pride in their writing and work presentation.
All schools from time to time need to deal with incidents of nits and head lice. Parents should undertake to check their children’s hair on a regular basis. Any sign of students scratching their head and complaining of an itchy scalp need to be investigated immediately. If you find head lice or nits on your child, you will need to contact the school immediately so that head checks of classmates can be arranged and parents notified that there has been an outbreak in the classroom. Students must be treated before returning to school. If a student is identified as having nits or lice at school, parents will be notified to enable treatment to be undertaken. Students with head lice will be excluded from school until treatment has taken place.
Most children at some stage will contract nits or head lice. Please do not feel embarrassed to contact the office, as we have very experienced staff who can advise you of the most effective treatment. A current consent form for a head check needs to be held at the school office for all students.
Homework is intended to provide students with opportunities to build on their learning and development at school. It also helps parents to follow their child’s progress. Teachers will outline to parents expectations of homework within their class at the commencement of each year.
You can also help your child at home by:
While regular attendance is critical for student learning, the best place for genuinely sick children is at home. On return to school, parents need to provide a written explanation for the absence

Early in term one two students from each class from years 3-6 are elected to our Junior School Council. These students meet weekly to plan activities and act as a forum of student opinion. Junior School Council representatives report to their own class as well as their buddy junior class. Ideas and suggestions are taken to Junior School Council via weekly class meetings. Junior School Council reports directly to the full School Council meeting each month with two representatives. Our two School Captains are members of Junior School Council.
At Romsey Primary School we are fortunate to have an exemplary LOTE (Indonesian) program for all students. Every class preps to year 6 have a weekly lesson in Indonesian. This program is supported by regular whole school Studies of Asia programs and activities. Parent classes in Indonesian are also held throughout the year. Contact Mrs. Sue Little if you are interested in attending these.
Students arriving at school after 9.00AM must sign in at the school office. A late arrival slip must be given to the teacher on entering the classroom.
If you realise you are going to be late collecting your child please contact the office so they can be called to the office to await your arrival. Similarly, it would be helpful if parents were to inform their children that should you not arrive on time , that they are to go to the office to wait for parents. If you know in advance that you will not be able to arrive on time contact the Out of School Hours Program to see if there are any available places. This will ensure that your child is suitably supervised. (Out of School Hours Program-54296327).
The school has a very well resourced school library. All classes have a weekly library lesson taken by their classroom teacher. Research and other library activities can be taken at other time during the week. The library is also open at lunchtime for quiet reading or other passive activities. Students need a library bag to protect borrowed library books. It is the responsibility of parents to replace or pay for books lost or damaged by their child.
All articles that children bring to school should be clearly labeled with the child’s name. This includes clothing, shoes, sports items, balls, lunch boxes, drink bottles etc. Many items eventually arrive at the lost property boxes located in the atrium areas, and without names they cannot be returned. All unclaimed articles are disposed of at the end of each term. Valuable items such as expensive toys, clothing etc. should not be brought to school.
In circumstances where students need to be on a course of medication that cannot be managed other than being administered at school, parents will need to ensure that clear directions are given of dosage and frequency of medication. All medication is to be given to the office and will be administered by a designated staff member. No medication is to be kept by the student or in the classroom.
All excursion or special purpose money should be placed in a sealed envelope with the child’s name, grade and the purpose of the money clearly written on the front. Money collection envelopes are available from the school office. All payments are to be made directly to the school office. Envelopes can be placed in the red postbox on the front counter. Payment for items with the correct amount is always appreciated. The school has the capacity to accept card payment.
Students should not bring large amounts of money to school for personal spending. Younger students may hand spending money to the class teacher to look after till recess or lunch time
The school weekly newsletter, InForm, is published every Tuesday. This is distributed to families via the oldest child in the family. The newsletter includes current information about curriculum programs, excursions, general school news as well as samples of student work. From time to time teaching units may produce newsletters with specific information for these classes.
Normal school office hours are from 8.30AM to 4.40PM, Monday to Friday.
A dedicated team of supportive parents work tirelessly to raise funds for our school and assist with special programs. They assist in the preparation of our Indonesian lunch and are responsible for organising events such as our trivia night and Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day stalls. Every second year their efforts are channeled into our school carnival.
Parent Club meetings are held once a month in the school staffroom, following school assembly on a Monday morning. New members are assured of a warm welcome.
See Assessment & Reporting of Student Progress
Peer Mediators are selected senior students trained in conflict resolution procedures. Two students are rostered for Peer Mediation duty each lunch and recess time. These students are easily identified by students as they wear a fluorescent vest when on duty. Peer Mediators assist students solve minor disputes or conflicts. During morning recess and lunch times there are always teachers on yard duty for general supervision, and to handle all other issues.
All students have a Performing Arts lesson each week. This is taken in the Performing Arts Centre, a wonderful facility built from locally raised funds. The Performing Arts program covers the strands of music, dance and drama. All students are given the opportunity to perform in class groups at assembly on Mondays. The school facilitates instrumental tuition in strings (violin), woodwind (flute & clarinet), brass (trumpet) and keyboard. Senior Unit students star in a major musical production every second year.
School Photographs are usually taken early in term 2 with pre-payment envelopes being distributed prior to the day so that families may order their required prints. Students should all wear uniform on this day.
We have a very active Physical & Sport Education program for all students. All classes are rostered to use the gymnasium. Students should come to school ready to take part in these active sessions throughout the school week. The school is very well resourced for our physical and sport education program. Junior classes all participate in the perceptual motor skills program. Senior students take part in inter-school sport with other district schools throughout the year.
The school has developed school-wide strategies and protocols in behaviour management. Consequently all staff have had training to enable a consistent positive approach to lead students to make positive behavioural choices. We work on heightening student engagement through setting goals at the beginning of the year, setting criteria for students to self assess and recognise, and then strive for quality work. This is highlighed through positive reinforcement such as through the Student Achievement Awards. Awards are presented at assembly each Monday morning. There are agreed consequences for negative choices. If an identified behavoural problem arises, parents will be contacted.
In addition to Christmas and Easter holidays the school is closed on the following days when these fall during the term: Labour Day, Anzac Day (if a weekday), Queen’s Birthday and Melbourne Cup Day.
Reading Recovery is an intensive literacy intervention program for a small number of selected students in their second year of primary school (year 1). Students are selected on the basis of greatest need, then work one to one with a trained reading recovery teacher on a daily sessional basis. The program has a track record of facilitating accelerated literacy learning for these students. Follow up through the regular classroom program, as well as at home is essential for the success of this program.
Supervision: Students are supervised by yard duty teachers prior to school from 8.45AM and during morning and lunch recess times. At the end of the day teachers supervise school bus travellers and patrol the school crossing in Station Street. Teachers on yard duty carry with them a small first aid kit for minor injuries, while students requiring further treatment are taken to the First Aid Room and looked after by a trained First Aid staff member. During school class time students are not to leave the class without permission of the teacher in charge. When attending a specialist program or when moving to another area of the school, classes are escorted by the teacher in charge.
Visitors: All visitors to the school (including parent helpers) are to sign the visitor’s register at the general office before visiting classrooms or participating in activities conducted at the school. Visitor Badges are to be worn by all persons visiting the school.
School Captains are selected each year through a process of application, interview and reference to referees. The selection panel consists of the Principal and Assistant Principal. There is one male and one female school captain. These students attend a student leadership conference each year, act as spokespersons for the school for dignitaries, at ANZAC ceremonies and other public events. School Captains are expected to take a leading role in articulating and representing student opinion while maintaining a high profile as student role models. School Captains assume a strong role on Junior School Council.
The School Council is responsible for the general administration the school and the setting of school policy. At this school the School Council is comprised of 15 members, 10 elected parents, 4 elected Department of Education representatives and the Principal as Executive Officer. All parents are advised that elections will take place early each year, and all those who are interested in taking an active part in the affairs of the school are urged to accept a nomination to the School Council, if approached.
The work of the School Council can be summarised through the work of our active sub-committee.

The school has three designated school crossings. The supervised crossing is on Main Street. There are also crossings on Station Street and White Avenue. Teaching staff supervise the Station Street crossing after school each afternoon. Students are to use these crossings and follow the directions of the supervisor or teacher. Reinforcement of good road safety practices from home, as well as from school, is appreciated. Parents need to set a good example in this regard and refrain form taking “shortcuts” when a slightly longer walk would enable them to use the crossing.
In Victoria, the first year of school is known as the Preparatory or Prep Year. To enter Prep year children must be five years of age by April 30 of the entry year. It is compulsory for all children to attend school by the time they are six years of age. Prep students begin school at the beginning of the school year.
The school has a Sunsmart policy. This includes the requirement for all students to wear an approved Sunsmart hat for all outside activities in terms 1 & 4. We also require students to wear tops with sleeves and collar in order to minimise damage during the months when the sun’s UV rays are at their strongest. The school promotes the implementation of the Sunsmart policy through the classroom Health program, and through the provision of shaded areas for students. All adventure playground areas and now covered by shade structures, as are all classroom courtyard pergola areas. The school has also undertaken extensive tree planting to increase the amount of natural shade areas in the school grounds.
K - Prep: The transition program for next year’s prep students starts early in the school year with Junior teacher visits to the kindergarten. During term 2 our Junior School Councilors will also visit the kindergarten to undertake activities with these children. Informal visits of our new students are conducted during term 3. During term 4 a number of structured visits take place. Parent information sessions are held at the start of the transition program to keep parents informed of the details of each of the steps. Another parent information session will be held towards the end of term 4 to announce student placement for the next year, and to further discuss getting children ready for school. Throughout this program parents who have particular questions, or who need further information, are welcome to call the school and talk to the principal or transition coordinator.
Years 6-7: The years 6 to 7 transition consists of visits to both government secondary colleges during term 2. These days are activity based and give students a good idea of secondary college programs. Additionally our students have accessed in-school programs by teachers from the secondary colleges. We have close contact with transition coordinators from both secondary colleges and so work to ensure our students are well placed in relation to their social needs. Special transition programs can be developed for students with special learning or social needs. A state-wide transition day is held for year 6 students at their new school for the following year in term 4. Our digital portfolios are the result of a joint project to facilitate transition between our school and Gisborne Secondary College.
The school has developed a set of values that drive much of what we do in both curriculum and our social relationships. These values are continually reinforced through classroom programs. The values were developed with input from students, parents and staff.
Our school values are Caring, Relationships, Inclusion, Learning and Happiness
