From The Principal
I am delighted to be able to welcome you and your children to St Luke’s Grammar School. Over the
coming years we will share many experiences together and the partnership between home and school
will be an important one as we work together to prepare young people to make a difference in the world.
Mrs Jann Robinson
Principal
The School is a supportive community which has its foundation and practices in the Christian faith.
This informs all we do and has seen us committed to the new teaching and learning framework,
Learning@STLUKE’S, which goes beyond the academic to include the growth of compassion,
justice, kindness and humility in our students. The challenge of 21st Century education is to prepare
young people for a rapidly changing world where they will not only need to have a strong academic
foundation but also personal and intra-personal skills.
I look forward to sharing these school years with you.

From The Head of Junior School
It is my pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of all the Junior School staff, to St Luke’s Grammar
School. We consider it a privilege to partner with you in providing rich experiences, inspiring
environments and positive relationships that will enable your child to flourish as they grow and
develop. Our aim is to prepare them well to explore their world of opportunity, challenge and
wonder.
Mr Adam Lear
Head of Junior School
We at St Luke’s Grammar School recognise the value of the whole child and the uniqueness of
each one. Our tradition of excellence in Christian co-education extends to the academic, social,
physical and spiritual aspects of every student.
“Education is not the
filling of a pail, but
the lighting of a fire.”
We hope that you and your child enjoy happy, healthy relationships within our school community
and form many wonderful memories throughout your time here. I look forward to sharing in these
experiences as we all grow and learn together in the radiance of
‘Christ our Light’.

School Uniform Shop
New Student Full Fit-Out (Appointments Essential!) ... Book Your Appointment During Term 4, 2014
Appointments are essential for all new Students and all Students moving from Cottage to Kindergarten, and for students
moving from Year 6 to Year 7.
Please note that all new students require a “New Student Full Fit-Out” appointment, to be scheduled during Term 4 of the
year prior to entry. It is recommended that Uniform appointments be made as soon as possible as preferred times and dates
fill quickly. The available appointment times are 9.00 am, 10.00 am, 11.00 am, 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm, please allow 45 minutes
to an hour for your child’s fitting.
Please note if your child has any special sizing requirements please contact the School Uniform Shop sooner rather than later
in Term 4 as at least 12 weeks or longer may be needed for custom fitted orders to be manufactured.
Leaving Uniform purchases until January is definitely discouraged as stock may not be available and queues can be
extremely long. If you are concerned that your child may grow before the start of the school year, exchanges of unworn
garments can very easily be made closer to starting.

welfare that reflect Jesus Christ’s model of love for one’s neighbour both near and far.
We encourage our students and teachers to engage with issues of spirituality and belief that may arise in all their subjects
and in their lives and to discuss their various views with gentleness and respect. (1 Peter 3:15)
Attendance and Absence
Attendance at School
There are many factors that can affect your child’s attitude towards school and his or her achievement. It is important for
your child to attend school unless they are unwell. When your child is absent from school, any or all of the following may
potentially be compromised: missing out on important learning; breaking learning routines; losing confidence; and lessening
the opportunity to build friendships.
The School Day:
8:30 am
10:25 am – 10:55 am
12:55 pm – 1:40 pm
2:45 pm
3:05 pm
Classes commence
Recess
Lunch
Cottage concludes
Kindergarten - Year 6 School concludes

On the day of return after an absence, each student is required to bring a letter of explanation from his/her parent or
guardian and hand it to their class teacher. The note must include:
[a]
the date
[b]
student’s name and their Class Teacher (C-6) or their Tutor Teacher (Years 7 - 12)
[c]
the reason for absence
[d]
the period of absence
[e]
the signature of the student’s parent or guardian.
Arrivals Other Than At Normal Times
Junior School: Junior Students arriving late [after 8.30 am] should report to Junior Reception, accompanied by a parent or
guardian. The parent / guardian will then be required to sign a computer generated late slip. The printed late slip is then to
be shown to the Class Teacher.
Departures Other Than At Normal Times
Junior School: Junior Students are not permitted to leave the School grounds during School hours unless a parent / guardian
appears in person to pick the student up. If students need to leave for an appointment, or leave school early, they must
report to Junior Reception to sign out.
Extended Known Absences
If a student is to be absent for an extended period of time due to illness, parents are requested to contact the Classroom
Teacher to arrange for suitable work to be completed. In any other cases of extended absence (such as travel), teachers will
not be expected to provide school work to be completed.
Extended Unknown Absences
If a student is absent for more than three days without explanation, the School will notify the parent or guardian
automatically and request an explanation. The School should be notified in cases of anticipated extended absences. Parents
are requested to ring the Junior School Office on each day of sickness before 9.00 am unless prior notification has been given.
Holidays During Term Time
Please note: All students are required to attend and participate in all School activities up to and including Presentation Day
(for Junior School) or Speech Night (for Senior School). Generous vacations exist and it is expected that families will plan
their activities so as not to clash with School dates and requirements.
The NSW Government has introduced new legislation relating to leave applications. If an absence from school is known
in advance (eg Overseas holiday) parents must complete an Application for Exemption from Attendance at School form
(available from the School website) and submit it to the following for approval:

Internet via WiFi using their own personal iPad. All Years 5 & 6 students are requested to come to School, on their first day,
with their own personal iPad.
It is advisable to purchase a protective case for your Year 5 or 6 child’s iPad. While this is not compulsory, it may serve to
limit damage to the iPad throughout the year. Many students also choose to purchase a separate keyboard or a case with
an integrated keyboard for their iPad. Once again, this is not compulsory, but is certainly permitted.
iPad Model Recommendations
•
•
•
A new iPad operating system is due for release in Spring 2014. For those considering purchasing devices selecting an
appropriate model that can run the new operating system will ensure that the device will continue to operate with School
systems as they are improved and upgraded.
For those with iPad version 2 they will be continue to be supported in 2015 by the School, however these devices may not
support the new operating system. The ICT Department will provide more information on the impact as Apple makes it
publicly available.
The School does not require iPads with 3/4G capability, as WiFi is available at School. Either ‘mini’ or full size iPads are
suitable, however, most students are currently using the full size model.
Technology in Cottage to Year 4
Each child in Cottage to Year 4 regularly engages in learning through the use of technology throughout the year.
Students will access school-owned desktop computers, laptop computers, iPads and Interactive White Boards.
Technology is viewed as a valuable tool for learning in the digital age and students are introduced to a range of
applications and web-based tools and sites. As they do so, students are educated in their rights and responsibilities
as cyber-citizens. Our ICT network is closely monitored and filtered in order to provide a safe experience for
children using technology.
Further Information
More information will also be provided to students at the beginning of the 2015 School year. Some points to note however, are:
•
•
•
•
•
St Luke’s ICT Responsible Use Policy, Code of Conduct and Discipline and Behaviour Policies apply to all students using
personal technology brought to the School.
Student owned devices are the responsibility of the students who bring them to School.
The School does not accept responsibility for loss or damage of technology brought to School.
Parents are strongly advised to organise comprehensive insurance cover on technology brought to School.
For further information on the iPad program, please access the School’s blog at http://byot.stlukes.nsw.edu.au/
Textbooks and Stationery
•
•
•
All hardcopy textbooks and readers will be provided for students by the School.
During the students’ first week of School, Years 5 & 6 students will download digital versions of all required Textbooks
onto their iPads at School, and will be given access to online Textbook accounts. Students will not be required to download
Textbooks during the holidays.
All students will receive a Stationery Pack during the first days of the school year. We ask parents to purchase and send
to school with their child a named pencil case in which these items will be stored. This will remain at school at all times.
As stationery items become used up or lost we ask parents to provide replacements to ensure students are always well
equipped for their learning.

Gifted and Talented (The Headland Program)
St Luke’s Grammar School is committed to maximising the educational outcomes of Gifted and Talented students, through

and needs. It is also recognised that students may be gifted in one or more subjects. The benefit of our program is to allow
students to develop advanced skills in their area[s] of strength.
The Headland Program is designed to identify students using a variety of indicators ranging from parental information,
teacher nomination and standardised psychological testing. Students who enter the program experience extension and
enrichment provisions across subject areas.
If you have any information that may indicate that your child has advanced abilities in any subject area, please contact the
relevant Headland Program Co-ordinator in Junior, Middle or Senior School so this vital information can be used in our
identification process. Please contact Mrs Jodie Bennett, the Junior School Gifted and Talented Co-Ordinator, should you
have any questions regarding this aspect of the School.

specifically limited to, academic achievement. The examination for the Year 4 Scholarship is generally held in early September.
Health and Safety
Sun
St Luke’s attempts to ensure that students are protected from the damaging effects of the sun. Shelter is provided where
possible and the wearing of hats at play time forms part of the ‘no hat, no play’ policy. At home, ensure that sunscreen is
applied each morning before School as part of the daily routine.
Sickness
If your child gets sick or injured at school, you will be contacted and any necessary medical attention will be sought. If your
child presents with a mild illness they will be sent to the Junior School sick bay where they will be monitored by office staff.
You will be called and, if necessary, requested to pick them up. Therefore, it is imperative that your current contact details
are updated regularly with the school.
Head Lice
Head Lice are common among school children. Head Lice are spread when children are in close contact but do not cause any
harm to your child’s health. Please check your child’s hair regularly and keep long hair tied back or braided.
If your child contracts head lice or any infectious disease such as chickenpox, it is vital to inform the school so that they can alert other
parents to monitor their children. This is important to ensure the safety of our students. Your child will not be identified.
Immunisation Status
Note: For ALL Cottage, Kindergarten and all NEW students entering Years 1-6:
The Department of Education and Health has urged the co-operation of parents to ensure that their children are fully
immunised for their School years. Under Public Health Acts, all parents enrolling children into Cottage, Kindergarten or
Years 1-6 as new students, must advise the School of their child’s immunisation status. The NSW Department of Health now
recommends that the start of School immunisation be administered at 4 years of age and not 5 years as previously.
Proof of immunisation status details must be forwarded to the Junior School Office prior to or at the commencement of the student at
the School. A copy of their Immunisation History Statement or the NSW Immunisation Certificate will be acceptable.
If parents have chosen not to have their child immunised, this must be formally documented for inclusion in the School
Records at the start of the new School Year or on entry. These children must be withdrawn from School during outbreaks of
vaccine-preventable infectious diseases.
Warringah Council no longer provides an Immunisation Program. For enquiries about Immunisation in general, please
contact your GP or Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Public Health Unit (Hornsby) on 9477 9019.

School Community Events & Involvement
Community Social Events and Activities
St Luke’s Grammar School has an active and dynamic school community and warmly welcomes the involvement of parents
and carers in community activities and programs.
There are three School Co-ordinators who are the main link with Class Parents, providing information, coordination and
support to either the Junior, Middle or Senior School Class Parents. Any parent or carer can volunteer to be a Class Parent.
Class Parents work in teams to organise class or year group social events for families, for example, year group morning teas or
dinners, weekend picnics, Easter Egg Hunts etc.
As a team Class Parents also help with the organisation and running of whole of School community events such as the biannual Spring Fair, the annual parent’s and carer’s Trivia Night, and various fundraising activities, such as the Family Movie
Nights to celebrate the launch of Watoto Week (in support of the Watoto Orphanage, Uganda).
Towards the end of each year, volunteers are welcome to elect which area they would like to help with including the working
in the Canteen, Uniform Shop or Library, managing or coaching sports teams, or assisting with musicals, drama performances
and other events.
All volunteers (including Class Parents and Coordinators) must submit a Working with Children Check. Please access the
following link for information regarding the Working with Children Check. www.kids.nsw.gov.au/check

Heavenly Father, the source of all light and understanding,
We ask You to bless all members of the School community

Both in our strengths and weaknesses.
May Christ be our light, and guide us,
As we grow in understanding and grace;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
School Reading
Colossians 3:12 - 17 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let
the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns,
and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do
it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your Name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as in Heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours, now and forever.
Amen.
Australian National Anthem

Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free,
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil, our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts, of beauty rich and rare;

In joyful strains then let us sing; Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross, we’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours, renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine; To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing; Advance Australia Fair.

Student Welfare
A School is a community of people of differing ages and experience – staff, students, parents and friends. St Luke’s is
committed to developing and maintaining good lines of communication between people, based on mutual trust and
respect. The School aims to be a place where people are able to relate to each other in an open, positive and affirming
environment.
St Luke’s Grammar School makes every attempt to provide a safe and caring environment for your child in a setting that encourages
effort, achievement and a sense of well-being. We are sensitive to the needs of young children and will be there to help and guide
them. Communication with your child’s teacher is the best way to keep in touch with his or her progress. Please keep teachers
informed of any changes in your child’s life that may affect his or her work or enjoyment of school.
St Luke’s provides support where needed so that all students can learn to the best of their ability. Some of these include:
• Support teachers for students with learning difficulties and those requiring enrichment / extension
• School Counsellor
If you become aware of a major change in your child’s behaviour or you have any concerns about your child and his or her
schooling, it is important that you talk to your child’s teacher as early as possible.
Bullying
It is important that St Luke’s Grammar School is a community where people feel valued, cared for and safe. In this context:
• The stance against bullying is the responsibility of everybody in the School community. This should be understood,
freely talked about and worked at so that all students feel safe and comfortable at School.
• Harassing behaviour [such as bullying, teasing, picking on someone over a period of time] has no place in this School.
• Students who are being harassed are encouraged to report this to a member of Staff. Staff will act promptly on
complaints of teasing or bullying.
• Students who are harassing others will be counselled to recognise and understand the harm they are doing.
• Students may be punished for their actions.
• All students and staff should consistently watch out for and support students who are being excluded, teased or bullied.
Chaplaincy
The School Chaplain and the Chaplaincy staff provide pastoral care throughout the School community. Students and their
families have access to their services and support at any time. The Chaplain is also responsible for the co-ordination of
Chapel Services and Christian Studies classes throughout the School.
School Counsellors
Junior School: The School Counsellor offers a support service to students, families and staff within the School community.
The service covers all students from Cottage to Year 6. Students are offered counselling support for a broad range of reasons
from academic issues to social and family difficulties. Students are referred to the School Counsellor by a variety of different
sources including School staff, parents, friends and self-nomination. The Junior School Counsellor is available to all students
from Cottage to Year 6 and can be reached by contacting the Junior School Office.

KINDERGARTEN INFORMATION
Kindergarten Preparation Checklist
Orientation and Transition
At The Parent Information Evening You Can:
• Meet teachers
• Ask questions
• Meet other parents
• Discover ways to become involved in the school
• Visit the Kindergarten classrooms
At Orientation Your Child Will:
• Learn what it is like to be in Kindergarten
• Meet many teachers
• Make new friends
• Be familiarised with where things are in the school
• Enjoy indoor and outdoor activities
• Meet a ‘buddy’ (Year 5 students who help to look after your child in Kindergarten)
Tips For Making Friends:
• Talk to your child about the meaning of friendship
• Teach your child to be resilient
• Explain to your child that they are one of many children in a class
• Make your home a place where your child feels valued and loved
• Open your home to your child’s new friends
• Explain that sometimes during playtime they may lose sight of their new friends. Tell them that it is okay if it happens
and suggest they speak to the teacher on playground duty if they feel upset, or just sit down and watch other kids until
they see someone they know.
• If your child has a birthday in the first term, organise a birthday party and invite new friends.
Year 5 Buddies:
Your child will be teamed up with an older student (Buddy) in Year 5 who has been trained to look after the needs of new
students. Kindergarten children will meet with their buddies on a regular basis to help them settle in and form friendships
beyond those in the Junior Centre playground.
APPENDIX PAGE A2
The Kindergarten classrooms are large, modern spaces allowing for group work, structured play areas, painting, technology
and other learning places that promote opportunities for your child to explore and use their imagination in a safe
environment.
The school has special areas outside the Kindergarten classrooms for environmental activities. We have an attractive
playground with shade and playground equipment.
Our classroom teachers are assisted by a teacher’s aide who works with small groups, providing individual attention and
assistance when required.
St Luke’s offers a well-balanced program, in which all students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of
activities including use of the latest technological equipment.
The new experience of Kindergarten may seem wonderful or a little overwhelming to your child. Do not worry if your child
takes a little time to settle in, as this is quite normal. Individual children will vary in their reactions and behaviour, so talk
through the experience and reassure your child you will see them at the end of the school day.
What We Do In Kindergarten...
The Kindergarten program is designed to help develop each student’s social, physical, emotional and intellectual skills. We
believe that children learn by experience and they are encouraged to explore a variety of developmental and curriculum
areas. Over the year, they will develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that will lay solid foundations for future learning and
the development of positive relationships.
In Kindergarten we have some routines to help students to feel secure. These routines include inside and outside times, a
bathroom time, a snack time and group times, where students have the opportunity to participate in games, discussions,
drama, music and stories.
The teachers’ program takes into account the students’ interests and needs covering all areas of development. Kindergarten
teachers also keep a portfolio of work and are happy to discuss your child’s progress with you.
How Your Child Will Learn ...
1. By first- hand experience: this is essential and is basic to all learning throughout life. It comes through seeing, touching,
hearing, smelling, tasting, and using whole body movements and feelings (emotions). All the senses are used in forming
a concept and understanding.
2. By playing: children must also personally re-construct their experience through play. Play is a vital part of the
Kindergarten program which can be seen wherever the children are – playing with dough, busy with art activities, either
inside or outside. Play to a child is work and by ‘doing’ is how a child learns.
3. By questioning: how often do we hear how, when, why? A child is usually sincere in wanting to know and the continued
questioning is how he/she sorts him/herself into the scheme of things.
4. By reasoning: a child’s reasoning is often not like an adult’s because his/her experience is limited; therefore, the
conclusions reached may not be very accurate. However, we must encourage reasoning and help to develop
understanding.
5. By experimenting: a child tries to understand things that are new to him / her. It is far more valuable for a child of this
age to experiment, analyse his / her results and correct errors, than for someone to supply the answer.
“If at first you don’t succeed THEN, TRY, TRY AGAIN.”
APPENDIX PAGE A3
About Kindergarten
The School Day
Other than the first few days of the year, the Kindergarten school day begins at 8:30 am and finishes at 3.05 pm – Monday to
Friday. Students have a short recess break and a longer break for lunch to eat and play. At St Luke’s, the school day starts either
with an assembly or class gathering where students come together to pray and to hear announcements.
The Classroom:
Our Kindergarten classrooms are cheerful, stimulating and vibrant places. Students do many activities and enjoy learning
through directed and imaginative play.
Throughout the year, your child’s teacher will observe and record what your child already knows in literacy and numeracy, as
well as other subject areas. This will guide the teaching and learning program, ensuring that each student’s needs are met.
Your Child Will Learn:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
English – reading, writing, talking and listening.
Mathematics – to develop your child’s thinking, understanding, competence and confidence with numbers, shapes,
patterns, algebra and measurement.
Creative Arts – providing your child with experiences in visual arts, music, drama and dance.
Science and Technology – developing your child’s skills in thinking, investigating and problem solving. In this area,
students’ curiosity about natural and built environments is fostered.
Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) – your child will learn about history, geography, civics and citizenship. He /
she will be encouraged to find effective ways in maintaining and improving the quality of their society and environment.
Personal Development Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) – your child will develop the necessary knowledge, skills
and attitudes to lead active, fulfilling and healthy lives.
Additional activities – your child will learn Indonesian, have a dedicated Christian Studies time period each week as well as
the expert knowledge of specialist Physical Education teachers, Swimming and Gymnastics instructors.
Technology (ICT) – the use of technology is integrated in all subjects and your child will participate in dedicated Computer
Studies time once a week.
APPENDIX PAGE A4
At the time of starting school your child will develop an idea of themselves as learners which will influence the
rest of their schooling. It is imperative that children hear positive messages about themselves, their work and the
value of education.
Try These With Your Child Before Starting School:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Sing songs together.
Use books for enjoyment – looking at pictures, turning pages, identifying left and right, start and finish.
Give your child simple instructions to follow and build on these – eg. how to unpack a bag.
Encourage your child to join in conversations.
Provide experiences for your child with pencils, textas, crayons, paint brushes and sticks in the sand, water and
on different surfaces to draw, scribble and write.
Write numbers and letters.
Encourage your child when writing to use a capital letter to start their name.
Talk about opposites – up/down, day/night etc.
Help your child identify things in a group that are different – shapes, colours etc.
Encourage your child to talk about numbers using everyday words such as many, a lot, more.
Encourage your child to tidy up when they have finished playing.
Teach them to say their name and address.
Encourage awareness of rules and reasons for having them.
Organise play times for your child with other children to encourage sharing and taking turns.
Provide plenty of practice using scissors correctly.
Provide opportunities to play with puzzles, blocks and Lego.

How We Keep You Informed:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A regular school newsletter, the Grammar News, is emailed each Friday of the term
St Luke’s Parent Portal
Parent Information sessions
Parent Morning Teas with the Head of Junior School
Parent Teacher Interviews – Term 1 and others by appointment
Two semester reports – Term 2 and Term 4
Class letters throughout the year
The Kindergarten teachers recognise the need to maintain regular and open communication with the
parents of children in their first year of school.
As a matter of courtesy, however, parents are kindly asked to make an appointment with their child’s
teacher should they wish to discuss any matter.
APPENDIX PAGE A6
Recess & Lunch:
These times will be a new and diverse experience for your child compared to that of eating at home, or even at Cottage / PreSchool.
Kindergarten children sit in a designated area to eat their food. We are unable to heat or refrigerate food that is sent from
home. However, we do provide an esky to keep your child’s drink cool. Please provide appropriate size drink bottles and lunch
boxes that are easy to open. It is important for the children to become increasingly independent in Kindergarten.
Remind your child to use the toilet at recess and lunch time and not during class time. Also encourage them to drink lots of
water and remind them they can get a drink from the bubblers at any time during the day.
Fruito:
Each morning at around 9:30 am, Kindergarten to Year 2 students stop for a 5 minute ‘Fruito’ break. ‘Fruito’ is designed to
encourage good eating habits. This break provides children with the opportunity to eat the healthy snack that might otherwise
be left in the lunch box and not eaten. Parents should separately pack a small quantity of fruit or salad vegetables for ‘Fruito’
time.
Breakfast:
A healthy breakfast is imperative to sustain your child through the morning until recess.
Healthy Canteen:
The School Canteen is a place where students can buy healthy food. Parents can order their child’s lunch through the
“Flexischools” online ordering system .
From Term 2, Kindergarten students will be escorted to the Canteen at lunch time only to purchase a ‘treat’. They learn about
shopping and money at the same time as trying out different foods. Visits to the Canteen occur twice a week after the students
have eaten their lunch.
Nut Policy
St Luke’s aims towards being a ‘nut free’ school. Due to food allergies of several of our students, please do not include ‘nut
products’ as part of your child’s recess or lunch. This includes chocolate treats and chocolate spreads such as Nutella.
When Lunches Come Home:
Teachers on duty try to ensure that the students eat their packed food and do not throw any unwanted food in the bin. Do not
be too concerned if your child does not eat lunch to start with. Sometimes the excitement and having fun with friends distracts
them from eating. Your child’s eating habits may change but will settle into a routine.
