GOLDEN
TIME
What
is it?
6 simple rules to remember to make
life at school safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Keeping the rules will result in
special GOLDEN TIME when the children can
enjoy activities of their choice that they don't normally get the chance to
do at school.
The GOLDEN
RULES are.........
Do be gentle.............................................................Don't
hurt anyone
Do be kind and helpful............................Don't
hurt people's feelings
Do be honest.................................................Don't
cover up the truth
Do work hard.............................................................Don't
waste time
Do look after property........................Don't
waste or damage things
Do listen to people.......................................................Don't
interrupt
We also have a CHILDREN'S
CODE OF CONDUCT based
on the Golden Rules that we ask parents and children to read, talk about and
sign.
In our school
we will try, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to follow the way of Jesus to
love god Our Father and to love and respect each other. Our children's code
to help us means :
1. It is my right
not to be hurt by fighting, kicking or in rough play.
2.It is my responsibility
to be kind and caring to others.
3. It is my right
for adults and children to listen to me.
4. It is my
responsibility to listen to others.
5. It is my right
to enjoy all that school provides in work and play and that my parents will
help me.
6. It is my
responsibility to be on time for school and to take care of my books and equipment.
7. It is my right
to have a safe place to keep my clothes and books.
8. It is my
responsibility to be tidy with my property and careful with others.
9. It is my right
to be loved and respected because I am important.
10. It is my
responsibility to respect other people and to show my concern for them.
At the beginning
of each academic year we send this to all Parents, Carers and Children to read
together and sign for return to school.

The Federation of St Elphege's
Catholic Schools Parents Association
From
the P.A.
Our Parents Association organises
events throughout the School Year. we hold events to raise desperately needed
additional funds for both infant and junior schools. Over recent years, parents
have raised funds to purchase books, computer and playground equipment, all
of which have directly improved our children's school life.Both our school athletics
team and choir need new kit and our little ones need more books. These are just
a few items from a large wish list. It is only through committment of us the
parents that our schools can hope to receive some of the essential equipment
that government will not provide.
PARENT ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER
'' Fund
raising requires a huge amount of effort and help from Parents, Friends, Sponsors
and Teachers. We need your support at these events in so any different ways.
''
If you have a suggestion or idea
for an event or activity, we would be happy to hear it. Please contact us
