Wattle 1’s Big Day Out at the Zoo!
On Monday 25th November Wattle
Cluster visited Perth Zoo. After a
snack, we went to the Touch Table!
We learned about feral animals for
example foxes and goats.
Next, we went to the reptile room.
We touched some turtle and tortoise
shells. The Frill Necked Lizards were
fed live crickets. After that we went
to the art and craft room to make
Super Stars. We ‘reused’ pictures
from old 2011 calendars.
Next we all had lunch together
and then played on the playground. In
our groups we looked and walked
around the zoo. The penguins were
cute and so were the elephant tricks.
Did you know that elephant’s brains
are four times larger than our own?
It was an awesome day out!
By Mrs Hutchin, Mrs Parke and the
students of W1.

Thank You Morning Tea
Our annual ‘Thank You Morning Tea’ will be held on Wednesday, 4 December 2013
starting at 10.40am. For those parents who have helped in any way - and so many have
- we would like you to join us for morning tea. For catering purposes, please phone
Dianne or Natalie at the School Office on 9332 3244 if you are able to join us.
Celebration Night
Our Celebration night is on Tuesday, 17 December on the Wattle Netball Court. Children will
need to be at their classroom at 5.00pm. The teachers will then walk their children out to the
Wattle Netball Court at 5.20pm and the Edu Dance Performance will commence at 5.30pm.
Everyone is most welcome to join us for a great evening.
Classes for 2014
We are in the process of formulating classes for 2014. We have a group of new students joining us in the new year
and a group of students leaving us - approximately equal numbers. Some of our students are going to other countries,
other states of Australia and also to a variety of other suburbs - we wish these families well in
their new homes.
If you have not advised me or our Office ladies that you are leaving the school at the end of the
year would you please do this as soon as possible. This information will assist greatly with our
planning for 2014.
Thank you again to those families who have given us this information since our last newsletter.
In the past fortnight we have learned that three of our students will not be at Bull Creek Primary School. In that time
we have enrolled four new students.
Newsletters
In order to cut down on overall costs - photocopier use and paper - we will no longer be providing
paper copies of the Newsletter from the start of 2014. The Newsletter has been available online since
2011 - you may download it from our website (www.bullcreekps.wa.edu.au) or subscribe to receive
the newsletter via email. This system is used increasingly in schools and it is one we encourage.

MULTICULTURAL WEEK 2013
We ate, danced and sang. We played
outdoor and indoor games from all over
the world and had a great time with not
an electronic game in sight!
Multicultural Week 2013 was enjoyed
by all. We celebrated all the great
things that all cultures have brought to
our school that also helps to make our
country an exciting, vibrant and
interesting place to live.
Some of the many highlights included the
delicious food kindly brought in by our
parents, toys and games from around the
world, excellent artwork created by the
students and a fantastic assembly with a
gorgeous Chinese dance, incredible
Diablo tricks and talented musicians playing instruments and singing songs
from around the world.
To all who helped to put the week together, a very big thank you from the
staff of Bull Creek Primary School.

WATER WISE TIP
Turn the tap off while you brush your teeth. Simply wet your toothbrush before you begin and use a glass of water to rinse your mouth.
Taking 2 minutes off your daily shower will leave you squeaky clean but save up to 24 litres of
water

TIPS FOR PARENTS
How can you help your child?
TALKING WITH YOUR CHILDREN
ABOUT BYSTANDERS
Bullying involves more than the students who are bullied and those who bully
others. Ninety-one per cent of children (in primary school) report having
witnessed/seen bullying occurring. Bullying often continues because people who
are involved do not talk about it and seek help. This includes people who observe
bullying – the bystanders.
A bystander is someone who sees the bullying or knows that it is happening to
someone else.
What can Bystanders do?
If children see another child being bullied they could:
•
Ask a teacher or support person for help;
•
Let the person doing the bullying know that what they are doing is bullying;
•
Refuse to join in with the bullying and walk away;
•
Support the student who is being bullied; and
•
Support their friends and protect them from bullying by being there for them
(children who are alone are more likely to be the target of bullying, so
encourage your children to be aware of children who are left out or on their
own in the playground).
