Berowra Musica and Hornsby Music Festival
On Friday five local schools and Wideview PS performed as part of the Berowra
Musica Concert at the local Community Centre. Our students performed as part
of the Berowra Big Town Big Band as well as our own bands with well known favourites of ‘Sesame Street Theme’, ‘Bop’ and ‘Don’t Stop Believin’. Congratulations to the students for their fine performances and to Mr Mal Harpur who was
the key organiser and conductor for the event. The Junior and Senior Dance
groups and Choir were magnificent during their performances at the Hornsby
Music Festival. All of these concerts have involved the commitment of all students and Miss Hayward, Miss Asmanas and Mrs Kelett over many months.
Thankyou to the parents who have sent emails acknowledging the work that we
do in the Performing Arts area of the school.

Too sick for School
In the first column of the front page we have included a link to information on when your child is too sick for
school. It will appear in each newsletter.
The Partners in Learning Feedback Survey
We have only had a small number of parents complete the survey so far. This survey asks parents and carers
questions about different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement. Running
this survey will help our school understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at
school. These include: communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home
and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help
our school make practical improvements.
The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted between today and 21 October. Please click the link below to the survey:

Parking Issues
Once again it has been brought to the school’s attention that some parents are not obeying the road rules
when dropping off and collecting their children. Some incidences reported to the school have been parking
in No Standing zones, U-turns across double white lines on the bend of Wideview Rd and not stopping at the
marked crossing both in Wideview Rd and Lonsdale Ave.

CARES
Monday the 12th year 5 went to CARES. We learnt three
of the most important rules for bike riding. Always wear
a helmet, check your bike for safety and get on and off
on the left side of your bike.
Firstly, always wear a helmet for safety because they
save heaps of bike riders lives. The helmet has cushioning in it for your head so when you fall over on your bike
your brain and skull is not going to get damaged and shut
down.
Secondly, you should always check your bike before going on a ride. It’s important to check your bike because your brakes might not be working properly and when you put your brakes on they’ll not work and
you will crash. Also make sure that your bike chain is on the gear and it’s oily.
Lastly, it’s important that you get off on the left side of your bike. The reason why you should get off on the
left side is if your bike falls on you and you’re on the right side you land on the road and you get hurt. If you
get off on the left side your bike can fall on you and you’ll be safe.
So at CARES I learnt a lot of things for when riding on the road. I also learnt to wear bright colours, scan
and listen for cars but the most important rules of the road is always wear a helmet, check your bike before riding and get on and off on the left side of your bike.

CARES
On the 12th of September 2016, Year 5 went to CARES. We learnt how to ride our bikes on the road. We
learnt three things we learnt to always wear a helmet, wear bright colours and check your bike.
Always wear a helmet, it protects your head. If you hit the left part of your head you won’t be able to see, if
you hit the back you won’t be able to talk.
Always wear bright colours. At night you need to wear bright colours or people won’t be able to see you
and you will get run over.
Always check your bike to make sure it all works. If you don’t check your bike you could fall and hurt yourself.
Riding is fun but always wear a helmet, wear bright colours and check your bike.
