For Parents
ACTIVITY STATEMENTS
Each term Leichhardt Public School will issue an Activity Statement that outlines the cost of special events and programs. This statement is accompanied by a consent form for each activity. This form is signed and returned with the payment.
This payment also includes provision for payment of a voluntary school contribution which is an important source of income for the school. The contribution is $80 per student or two instalments of $40.
Note: Throughout the year we may be offered opportunities to participate in other programs or activities that are yet to be planned. If these activities occur after the Activity Statement has been issued for the term, they will be included on the next term’s activity statement.
Should parents need support in making payments they should contact the Principal. We can assure parents and guardians that all requests for support will remain confidential.
STRING GROUP
In 2005 Leichhardt Public School added an extra dimension to its music and band programs with the introduction of a String Group. The group now has a membership of thirty students, ranging in age from 5 through to 10. The students meet every Friday morning for tuition in violin, viola and cello. This tuition is provided by three of our talented parents, Penny Rees, Kirsty McCahon and Kees Boersma, who are all professional musicians. The group perform at special school functions including the school’s Musicale and Grandparents Day.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FORM
It is essential that parents provide the school with up-to-date records of telephone numbers and addresses. It is necessary, too, that we have the name and telephone number of another person we can contact in an emergency. This information is provided by parents using an ‘Essential Information’ form. If the details on this form change for any reason please let the office staff know.
ENROLMENT PROCEDURES
Enrolment forms are available at the school office or can be downloaded from the link below. Students who have not previously been enrolled at a NSW public school will need to provide an Australian birth certificate or bring their child’s passport.
Leichhardt Public School’s enrolment policy gives priority to students living within the school’s enrolment boundaries. Students who live outside the local area may be enrolled at the school as long as there are places available for in-area students, or in exceptional circumstances. Decisions regarding applications for out-of-area enrolment are made by the school principal.

HOMEWORK
Homework provides students with an opportunity to consolidate their classroom learning experiences. It is also a means for parents to follow the experiences and progress of their child. K-1 will be based on informal experiences. In Years 2-6 a more formal homework program will be established by the teacher.
MEDICATION and MEDICAL PROFILES
It is generally advisable that students do not have medication at school.
However, if your child needs to take medication at school it must be delivered to the school office, clearly labelled with the child’s name. Parents must sign a consent form allowing one of our Teacher Aides to administer the medication. Asthma medication should be treated in this way also, and an asthma treatment plan (Medical Profile) should be given to the school office, in case your child should need assistance with asthma management.
We also need to know of any medical condition or other relevant information that may affect your child’s health and well being at school. This information should be provided by parents using a ‘Medical Profile’ form. Once completed both forms should be returned to the school office.
INFORMATION FOR PARENTS ON ANAPHYLAXIS
What is anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is a severe and sudden allergic reaction. It occurs when a person is exposed to an allergen (such as food or insect bite). Although death is rare, an anaphylactic reaction always requires an emergency response. Prompt treatment with injected adrenaline is required to halt progression and can be life saving. Fortunately anaphylactic reactions are usually preventable by implementing strategies for avoiding allergens.
Common allergens for anaphylaxis are:
• foods (e.g. peanuts and nuts, shellfish and fish; and in pre-school age children, milk and egg)
• insect bites (e.g. bee, wasp, jumper ants)
• medications (e.g. antibiotics, aspirin)
• latex (e.g. rubber gloves, balloons, swimming caps).
The severity of an anaphylactic reaction can be influenced by a number of factors including exercise, hot weather and in the case of food allergens, the amount eaten. In the case of severe food allergies, an anaphylactic reaction is usually triggered by ingestion of the food. The school will help by assisting the student in the avoidance of allergens and ensuring that an emergency response plan is in place for all activities. The early recognition of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis may save lives by allowing the earlier administration of first aid and contact of the appropriate emergency medical services.
Who is at risk of anaphylaxis?
Children who are highly allergic to any of the above allergens are at risk of anaphylaxis if exposed. Those who have had a previous anaphylactic reaction are at increased risk.
How can you recognise an anaphylactic reaction?
Reactions usually begin within minutes of exposure and can progress rapidly at any time over a period of two hours. A student at risk of anaphylaxis will often recognise the early symptoms of an allergic reaction before any other signs are observable. Common symptoms are: -
– flushing and/or swelling of the face
– itching and/or swelling of the lips, tongue or mouth
– itching and/or a sense of tightness in the throat, hoarseness, difficulty breathing and/or swallowing
– hives, itchy rash and/or swelling about the face, body or extremities
– nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting
– shortness of breath, repetitive coughing and/or wheezing
– faint, rapid pulse, low blood pressure
– light headedness, feeling faint, collapse
– distress, anxiety and a sense of dread.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:
An updated list of children who have nut allergies and are at risk of anaphylaxis will be made available at the beginning of each school year.
To ensure we maintain the health and well being of these students please remember these simple precautions:-
~ Children should avoid bringing food to school which contains nuts or nut derivatives
~ Food for students with nut allergies should only be approved and provided by the student's parent
~ Children should not share any food with allergic students or purchase food for them at the canteen.
~ On special food days such as food festivals or birthdays please ensure that food supplied does not contain nuts or nut derivatives and wherever possible ensure that the ingredients of any home made items are clearly labelled on the product
To ensure the school is properly equipped to care for children with anaphylaxis, the staff will receive specialised training annually.
MONEY COLLECTION
From time to time students will be required to bring money to school to pay for Activity Statements and school fund-raising activities. Special money envelopes are usually stapled to notes or requests for payment. All cheques should be made payable to Leichhardt Public School. Money should be handed to the class teacher in a clearly marked envelope. Large amounts of money should be handed directly to the school office.
NOTES TO PARENTS
To keep abreast of what is happening at school, we often send home notes.
Please check your child’s bag each day for any notes. The School Newsletter is sent home each Tuesday.
The school newsletter, copies of permission notes and other important announcements are also posted on the school website in the News section.
OPPORTUNITY (OC) CLASSES
Specialist classes for academically-gifted Years 5 and 6 students are provided at designated schools within our area. Application packages are sent home to parents of Year 4 students in May. Students applying for entry to an OC class sit for an external test in July. Places are offered in Term 4. See the Department of Education and Training website or the School Principal for more details.
PARENT PARTICIPATION
Children learn best when parents and teachers work together in partnership, and when parents and teachers share responsibility for this partnership. Parents are encouraged to participate in the life of the school in many different ways including assisting in classrooms, providing resources for the school, responding to surveys, sharing expertise with staff, helping in the canteen or accompanying students on excursions.
The Parents & Citizens Association meets on the first Monday of each month at 6.30pm and invites you to come along and meet other parents, learn more about school activities, help make decisions about our school and organise fund-raising activities.
PARENT/TEACHER INTERVIEWS and STUDENT REPORTS
A child’s successful schooling depends on close cooperation between the school and parents and teachers welcome the opportunity to discuss a student's progress with parents. It is important to ring the school first or speak to the class teacher directly to make an appointment time. This allows the teacher to set aside sufficient time to speak with you without interruption.
Detailed written reports about student’s progress are provided twice a year, in June and December.
