Despite my constant telling them that Dash has a broken collarbone, he has repeatedly been injured by irresponsible children. It all came to a head on the 15th November when he was injured resulting in a further breakage to his collarbone which then set him back another 6 weeks or so. A stupid prank resulted in a girl grabbing his shoulder and shaking him vigorously causing further breakage. He had to miss his year 6 camp which he wasnt impressed with at all. I will update later with full info but I have been forced to homeschool him for the last 4 weeks of school as they cant keep him safe. Grrrrrr they just dont give a fuck honestly. Its like its too hard for them.
I vented to a friend about his injury and how I was disgusted at the school and their lack of duty of Care. The principal called me up lat week and chastised me over the phone, telling me I was a bad girl. Im not to speak to the teachers, students or parents!! :0 bugger off i will talk to who I like when I bloody well like. Then she posted this in the newsletter.
Positive School Climate
In many ways we are extremely fortunate to have a dedicated group of parents who willingly give up their
time to help out at our school. This help is invaluable in encouraging a positive school climate which is
conducive to outstanding student success in learning. In recognition and appreciation of our
parent helpers we will be holding a ‘Parent Helper’ morning tea on Wednesday 7 December.
We understand that many parents may not be able to help out with school activities due to work and other
commitments but can support their child and the school in other ways. One of the best ways of supporting your child is to speak positively about your child’s school experiences, their teacher and the school as a whole.
By doing this, our children see that you value their school experience and feel encouraged to reach their
potential. By contrast, speaking negatively about your child’s school experiences, their teacher or the school
as a whole, can have quite a detrimental effect on their learning outcomes and their confidence. I have recently
become aware that there have been instances of negative talk amongst parents, in ear-shot of students,
about our school. With the best interests of the children in mind I ask that we all reconsider our audience when expressing negative views and to think about the impact that such discussions have on our students and
our school climate. By working together, focusing on being positive, we can ensure that ##########
Public School continues to relish our great reputation as the beacon of learning in our community.
Intimidation doesnt go down well with me and I told her so and I think this is her answer.
Needless to say my kids are enrolled elsewhere for next year :)
