This week is National eSmart Week, where we are promoting the smart, safe and responsible use of the internet. As part of our whole school celebration we have eSmart wrist bands for sale and will be having a sausage sizzle on Friday. Any profits made will contribute towards purchasing cyber safety apps and programs such as the Digital Licence from the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
eSmart wrist bands Wrist bands will be on sale all week for $1.50 and will be available in S, M and L size. Children are especially encouraged to wear their wrist bands on Friday for ‘Purple and Yellow day’. Wrist bands will be purchased in the classroom where senior children will visit each morning to sell them. They can be worn all week but we want everyone wearing them on Purple and Yellow day on Friday.

Thank you to our community for making this event such a success. An extra special thank you to all of the fathers for taking time out of their day to join us. We hope this event continues to build up as we make it a special event in the school year!
When in school zones, please observe the following guidelines to reduce risk to children:
Our children’s safety and well-being is our most important priority so it is wonderful to have two Crossing Supervisors to help our children cross what are, at times, very busy roads. A children’s crossing is a legal crossing when two flags are in place. Children and adults who are crossing at a children’s crossing must comply with the supervisor’s directions and must stand behind the line until the supervisor blows the whistle, indicating that it is safe to cross. The crossing supervisor will always wait until it is safe before they walk out and blow their whistle.
Cars are not allowed to park on or around the crossing. The crossing area is usually signed NO STOPPING. The clearance around the crossing is for the safety of pedestrians.
REMEMBER – ALWAYS CROSS AT THE CHILDREN’S CROSSING WHEN IT IS IN OPERATION.
By following the rules around school zones we can work together to ensure the safety of our children.
WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK
Cranbourne Carlisle is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school. The Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents at each school.
It is designed to assist our school in gaining an understanding of parents’ perception of school climate, student engagement and relationships with our parent community. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.
The survey will be conducted online by ORIMA Research Pty Ltd and only takes 15 minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed via desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile at any convenient time within the fieldwork period from Monday 7 August to Sunday 27 August.
Approximately 30 % of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous.
The online survey is available in English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Hindi.
Survey language guides will be provided in a range of languages including Albanian, Bengali, Burmese, Cantonese, Dari, Filipino, Greek, Gujarati, Indonesian, Japanese, Karen, Khmer, Korean, Macedonian, Malayalam, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Sinhalese, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Turkish or Urdu.
The survey results will be reported back to our school at the end of September.

Parents are reminded that school finishes today at 2.30pm. School resumes for Term Three on Monday 17 July.
Wishing all our families a happy, safe and relaxing holidays. Stay warm!!
At Cranbourne Carlisle, we love to celebrate birthdays! It is a joy to see children share treats with their classmates (and teachers!) on these special days.
However, sometimes treats sent to school for sharing can have serious repercussions for children with allergies or medical conditions. A wrapped lolly, such as a lollipop, Freddo Frog or mini packets of Smarties, may be sent to school by parents/carers to celebrate a special occasion. Please do not send whole cakes as these are very difficult for teachers to manage. These will be given to the children at the end of the day to take home for parent/carer permission to eat or discard.
Parents are asked never to provide nuts or products containing nuts for any reason due to the serious risk these foods pose for other children with life threatening allergies.
