Again this year we will be focussing on our school values of respect, cooperation, honesty and fairness to underpin all that we
do. Academically we would like to see all students doing their best to achieve their potentials. We will focus on improved literacy
and numeracy for all children. In spite of the fact that our NAPLAN results are outstanding, we believe that all students can
improve and grow as they become lifelong learners. This again is a priority in the 2014 Annual Operating Plan.
Another priority is to improve communication both within and outside the school. As parents we ask that you assist us with this.
A new website was launched last year and we hope that this is an improved communication tool for you. This new site allows you
to access all information in either French or English. This year all Directorate (ETD) and school policies and procedures will be on
our website, with as many documents translated as possible.
Please join with me in welcoming the following new teachers to the school:
Primary: Michael Ellis and Sandra Baurele with Maria Lamrani-Raphel and Joanna Staub returning
Secondary:
Elsa Goursolle – EFS/Humanities/French
Ben Yuen – Executive Teacher of PE/Health
John Daniels – Humanities
Frances Kleine – Japanese
SCHOOL TERM DATES 2014
Thomas Greig – Science
Term 1
Nick Rothwell – Science
3 February – 11 April
As well as several teachers returning after leave from the school:
Term 2
Andrew Livermore – English
28 April – 4 July
Pat Garratt – English
Melanie Consola – Languages
Term 3
Diana Lawrence - Technology
21 July – 26 September
We wish them a happy and successful time at Telopea Park School.
Term 4
13 October – 17 December
This year you will receive information about the provision of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in the school. From
time to time teachers access various safe sites for their students. It is now necessary for you to know which sites/programs that
we use and for you to give your approval to do this. Please read the information and return the permission note to the school as
soon as possible. This information will be sent to you in Week 2.
Secondary parents, please see attached to these Topics, this term’s Assessment Calendar. We ask that you work with your
children to plan their time wisely and to be aware that at various times in the term there will be several assessments due.
Reinforcement of good time management and organisational skills are areas where parents and teachers can work together to
support students.
This year in secondary we will be using a program called Turnitin, to ensure that all student work is original. We will brief
students on best practice in research skills.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all members of our school community a happy and rewarding year. I look forward to
working with you so that together we can deliver the best possible education to every child in the school in a safe and caring
environment.
Warm regards
Kerrie Blain

LE MOT DU PRINCIPAL
Bienvenue en cette nouvelle année scolaire! J’espère que vous avez bien profité de vacances reposantes et satisfaisantes et que
vos enfants sont fin prêts à démarrer cette nouvelle année scolaire. La semaine a déjà été bien remplie avec l’arrivée de 83
enfants en Maternelle et de 200 élèves de Cinquième qui ont rejoint notre école lundi matin. Plusieurs nouveaux élèves ont aussi
rejoint les rangs dans d’autres classes, ce qui fait que notre école fonctionne au maximum. Preuve s’il en faut que le niveau
élevé du Lycée franco-australien encourage les familles à s’installer dans le quartier afin que leurs enfants puissent s’inscrire
dans notre établissement scolaire.
A nouveau cette année nous réaffirmerons les valeurs de l’école, respect, coopération, honnêteté et équité, dans toutes nos
entreprises. Du point de vue académique, nous aimerions voir tous les élèves faire le maximum pour atteindre leur potentiel.
Nous nous concentrerons sur la connaissance du langage et la culture des mathématiques pour tous les enfants. Nos résultats
aux évaluations australiennes (NAPLAN) sont excellents, mais nous estimons que tous les élèves peuvent améliorer leur
performance et progresser pour devenir des apprenants à long terme. Une fois de plus, ceci est une priorité de notre plan
opérationnel annuel pour 2014.
Une autre de nos priorités est l’optimisation de notre communication au sein de l’école et à l’extérieur. Parents nous avons
besoin de votre aide en la matière. Un nouveau site a été lancé sur la toile l’an dernier et nous espérons qu’il sera pour vous un
outil de communication amélioré puisqu’il vous permet l’accès à de nombreuses informations en français et en anglais. Cette
année, l’ensemble des directives et règlements scolaires et départementaux seront présents sur notre site, et la plupart
traduits autant que possible.
Joignez-vous à moi pour accueillir chaleureusement les nouveaux professeurs de notre école :
Dans le primaire: Michael Ellis et Sandra Bauerle, plus Maria Lamrani-Raphel et Joanna Staub qui nous reviennent.
Dans le Secondaire:
Elsa Goursolle (EFS-Historie-Géographie/Letters)
Ben Yuen (professeur principal en Education physique et Santé)
John Daniels (lettres humaines)
Frances Kleine (japonais)
Thomas Greig (sciences)
Nick Rothwell (sciences)
Ainsi que ceux qui nous retrouvent après une période de congé:
Andrew Livermore (anglais)
Pat Garratt (anglais)
Melanie Consola (langues)
Diana Lawrence (technologie)
Nous leur souhaitons un séjour enrichissant et satisfaisant au Lycée franco-australien.
Cette année vous recevrez l’information concernant les Technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) à l’école.
Régulièrement, les professeurs accèdent à des sites sans danger pour leurs élèves. Il est donc nécessaire que vous soyez au
courant de ces sites ou programmes et que vous en donniez votre accord. Nous vous prions de lire cette information et de nous
retourner le plus tôt possible le formulaire d’autorisation. Les documents vous parviendront en semaine 2.
Parents du Secondaire, vous trouverez joint à cette lettre le calendrier des évaluations trimestrielles. Nous vous demandons
d’aider vos enfants à gérer leur temps avec intelligence et de savoir que dans le courant du trimestre plusieurs devoirs sont dus
à diverses échéances. Consolider la gestion du temps et les qualités d’organisation sont deux domaines où parents et
professeurs peuvent travailler ensemble pour le bien des élèves.
Cette année dans le Secondaire nous utiliserons un programme intitulé Turnitin, en vue de nous assurer que toutes les
productions de l’élève sont bien personnelles. Les élèves seront informés des meilleures pratiques de recherche.
Je voudrais profiter de cette opportunité pour souhaiter à tous les membres de notre communauté scolaire une année heureuse
et bénéfique. Je serai heureuse de travailler avec vous pour que nous puissions ensemble offrir la meilleure éducation possible à
chaque enfant de notre école dans un environnement sécurisé et attentionné.
Bien cordialement,
Kerrie Blain

SECONDARY NEWS
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students and families of Telopea Park School for Semester 1, 2014. I hope
everyone has settled back after a restful holiday and set achievable goals for themselves this year.
Telopea Park School has four values, Respect, Cooperation, Fairness and Honesty. These values can be demonstrated by the
entire student community by wearing appropriate school uniform, punctual attendance and communication with staff and peers.
The Student Services Team of Telopea Park School is quite extensive and available to provide a wide range of support for
students and their families. Please feel welcome to contact myself, Mrs. Louis (6205 5588), Ms. De Poorter (6205 5588) or the
appropriate Year Co-ordinator to discuss concerns and enable us to facilitate relevant appointments and communication on your
behalf. Year 10, Ms. Megan Taylor (6205 8519), Year 9, Mr. Andrew Barnett (6205 5580), Year 8, Ms. Larissa Shihoff (6205
5582) and Year 7, Mrs. Kirsty Hilson (6205 5575). We also welcome to the Student Services Team Ms. Bev. Carroll (6205 5577)
who will be supporting the Year Coordinators in their busy roles.
Please encourage your student to reflect on their strengths and set achievable goals for 2014. You can assist your student by
requesting to view and sign Unit Outlines for each subject and discuss which items on the Assessment Calendar are relevant to
each child. If you would like assistance with supporting your student in developing successful study skills and meeting
assessment deadlines please contact your student’s Year Co-ordinator. The Homework Club is also available on Wednesday
afternoons from Week 3 for extra study assistance. Please contact Noni See (6205 5300) in Student Services for permission
notes and information on the Homework Club. Mathematics support is also available in the Library on Tuesday lunchtimes for all
students.
Students can demonstrate their membership of the Telopea Park School community by wearing the school uniform. Please be
aware that students are encouraged to wear appropriately coloured clothing, including warm winter clothing, as part of the
school dress code. Black leather shoes are an Occupational Health and Safety requirement of many subjects and students not
adhering to these regulations may be excluded from taking part in classes in; the Arts, Science and Technology. Please refer to
Pages 32-33 of the Telopea Park School Diary for more detail regarding the Uniform Dress Code Policy.
I would encourage all parents/carers to inform Student Services of any change in contact details such as phone numbers or
addresses as soon as possible. It is imperative that the school has up to date information with which to communicate as
required.
Attendance is crucial for students to achieve to their potential and maintain connectivity to the school. School hours are 8.45am
– 3.15pm, Monday – Friday. Students arriving late to school are expected to sign in at Student Services, regardless of time,
with a note explaining their absence. Absences are reported on each student’s record. A parent/carer must contact the school
within five days to explain an absence from school. The most effective way of communicating with the school is via email:
[email protected] or phone: 6205 5576 (with a subsequent letter or email).
Students requiring to leave the school for any reason are required to provide a permission note from a parent/carer, collect a
Leave Pass at Student Services and wait at the Front Office at the requested leaving time. It would be greatly appreciated if
students could gain their Leave Pass as early as possible in the day and are punctual when waiting for their parents/carers.
Parents/carers are also encouraged to enrol in the SMS/email contact that Telopea Park School provides. Parents/carers will be
notified by 11.00am each morning via SMS/email if their student has not attended Pastoral Care Group 8.45-8.55am.
Students are also reminded that they should not be arriving at school before 8.15am. Students arriving before this time are not
supervised nor allowed inside the school buildings.
I wish everyone a successful year at Telopea Park School. Please feel welcome to communicate any information or concerns to
Student Services so we can best assist your student in achieving to his/her potential.
