Both put in an exceptional effort at this level of competition. Harvey is now through to the National Athletics Championships in Sydney later in the month after coming 3rd in the 800m. A great effort and we wish Harvey all the best. Change to Homework Policy From the start of 2017 there will be a change to the Homework Policy, with students having the opportunity to complete homework over a weekend if need be. An example of the practical application of this is that students may be given homework on a Monday or Tuesday and is due the following Monday. Transitioning to New Devices Last week we conducted two information sessions regarding transitioning to new devices. The sessions provided a range of different information about Google Chrome and details about our three year transition of the BYOD program from IPads to Google Chrome devices. Thank you to Joanna Crowther and the device transition team for the great information sessions, the feedback has been very good. If you have any questions please contact or catch up with Joanna Crowther and the Information Literacy Team. There will be more information coming out over the next few weeks regarding device options. Whole-School Events The next couple of months are busy as we draw towards the end of the year, so please be aware of the following dates for these major events: Whole School Photo Tuesday 8th Nov; Remembrance Day – Thursday 10th Nov; School Production – Thursday 8th Dec. . Wes Holloway Oatlands Primary School 3rd November,2016 www.oatlandsps.vic.edu.au (click the newsletter tab) Safety in Car Parks WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK All parents need a current Working With Children Check to help in the classroom and to participate on excursions. The application guide and form are NOW AVAILABLE ON LINE. SCHOOL UNIFORM Pre-loved uniforms are available from the office for a donation of $2 per item. PARKING: No parents should be entering the staff car park to drop off or collect their children from school. Moving cars and excited children are a recipe for disaster. Our community is reminded to take extreme care with driving and parking in and around the school car parks. Drivers are asked to drive at a walking pace, respect and co-operate with other drivers at all times, ensuring that students are only dropped off in safe areas and not within carriageways. Drivers be respectful of local resident driveway access to their homes. Please ensure that you are parking in the designated parking zones. BIKES AND SCOOTERS IN THE SCHOOL GROUNDS Riding and scooting while on school grounds is not permitted at any time. Thank you for your cooperation. LOST PROPERTY Lost Property is now located in the foyer outside the Grade 6 classrooms. School Banking Student School banking is back! Bank books need to be at the office each Monday and will be returned to the classroom the following Tuesday. Medications Please note: A Department of Education form states ‘wherever possible medication should be scheduled outside of school hours eg: medication required 3 times per day is generally not required during a school day: it can be taken before and after school and before bed’. So it is preferred that students do not bring medications to school. HATS! As part of our Sun Smart Policy, all students will need to be wearing a hat during recess, lunch and outdoor activities during term 4. The best type of hat is one which shades the head, face, eyes, ears and neck.

It is also called 'fifth disease' or erytherma infectiosum. Slapped cheek usually affects children between the ages of four and 10 years but can happen at any age, even in adulthood. Most infections do not have any symptoms. Six out of ten people in the population have had the virus by the time they are adults. It is not life threatening and complications are rare. Signs and symptoms o o o o o Symptoms can take between four and 14 days to appear after getting the virus. The symptoms are usually so mild that many people don't even know they have had the virus. The first symptoms can include fever, headache, stomach upsets, aches and pains. This is the time when the virus can be spread to others, mainly through saliva. A bright red rash appears on the cheeks from three to seven days after getting the virus. The cheeks look like they have been slapped, hence the name Slapped Cheek. Your child may also have a different rash on the chest, back, arms and legs. The infection looks like a pink lace pattern on the skin. The rash can come and go for several weeks, especially if the skin is exposed to sunlight or after exercise. Causes Slapped cheek is caused by a virus called the human parvovirus B19. This is different from the parvovirus that is seen in cats and dogs. How is it spread? Slapped cheek is spread by touching or breathing in the coughed or sneezed fluid drops from an infected person. Treatment Most children do not need any treatment except for rest to allow the body to fight the infection. Fever may be controlled with paracetamol. Antibiotics will not help because slapped cheek is caused by a virus. At home care Once you can see the rash on the face, children cannot spread the infection to others. Children can keep going to school or daycare. Oatlands Primary School 3rd November,2016 www.oatlandsps.vic.edu.au (click the newsletter tab) Follow-up There is usually no specific follow up needed. A few children may develop swelling and pain in the joints of their hands and feet. If this happens they should see a doctor for advice on how to treat these symptoms. Special consideration o You should speak to your child's medical team if you suspect your child has slapped cheek and your child is taking long term steroids or is immune-compromised (i.e. on chemotherapy or has had an organ transplant). o Contact the medical team or your family doctor for advice if your child has sickle cell anaemia or severe anaemia (low level of red blood cells in the blood). o If you are pregnant and exposed to someone with slapped cheek, ask your family doctor to test if you have had human parvovirus B19 in the past by performing a parvovirus IgG serology test. Remember the person with slapped cheek disease is infectious two weeks before the rash appears. If you have already had human parvovirus B19 then there are no concerns for your unborn baby. If you have not, your unborn baby can get a type of anaemia (low level of red blood cells in the blood). This is rarely serious and usually resolves by itself. Your obstetrician can provide more advice. The virus does not cause any other problems for your baby. Key points to remember o o o Slapped cheek is caused by a virus and antibiotics will not work to treat it. Symptoms can vary between children but many won't even know they have had it because the infection shows up with very few symptoms. Once there is a rash on the face, the child with the rash is not infectious and cannot spread the infection to others. They can go to school or play centre as usual.

Parenting is a set of skills that are learnt ‘on the job’ and, they can always be improved. Gateway Health is trialling a parenting support program delivered via telephone or online specifically for grandparents, fathers and rural families from across Victoria who sometimes find it difficult to attend parent support services in person. The Positive Parenting Telephone Service (PPTS) makes it easy to access a proven parenting support program delivered by qualified parent support workers from your home at a time that suits you – daytime, evenings and weekends. PPTS will help parents and carers develop the skills to: build better relationships with your children encourage the behaviours you want to see from your children teach children to think before they act and to keep busy without constant adult attention teach your children new skills, to solve problems for themselves and know when to ask for help set family rules that are realistic and followed. Parents and carers will be supported by weekly telephone calls over 6 to 10 weeks. You can also participate in PPTS online - with or without telephone support. The program is currently free to all grandparents caring for grandchildren, fathers and rural families from across Victoria. Victorian schools and early childhood services are encouraged to share information about this program with families in their community.
