<span style="background-color: white; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Year 8 class of 2018 are leaving Vaiala Beach School. They created a video of what they are going to miss about this school. The Year 8's are ready to fly the nest and face their next adventure of High School. We wish them all the very best for their future. Check out the second video of when they were little!</span><br />

At this time we begin our day with important notices and launch straight into our learning. This is often a time of receiving instructions before a learning task begins and when students miss this part of the day, they miss critical learning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We have too many students arriving after 8.30am, some arriving after 9.00am.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We understand from time to time there can be unexpected events which result in bringing your child/ren late but the </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">teachers are noticing a continuous pattern of regular lateness and often from the same students.<br />We want your child to get the most learning they can. We want your child to hear those important notices. We want your child to learn that in life time matters and it is respectful and important to be on time.<br />So we need your help.<br />At 8.30am students should be inside their classes ready for a great day of learning.<br />We will be launching into our “On-time Blitz” and encouraging all students to be at school before 8.30am.<br />Thank you to all those parents who are already supporting this rule.</span><br />

We thank you for your support. We have received some feedback how it was difficult for parents to see the Preschool item and we are looking at the possibility of constructing a portable stage. We are open for any suggestions and help in this area. In the meantime thanks to one of our parents Glenda Schembri who took this video of our youngest and possibly cutest students at Vaiala - The Preschoolers!

Semisi was a young journalist and you can see him doing a fantastic job in the above video.<br />

dropping children off before school.
There have been incidents with parents reversing in cars and not seeing
students walking. The teachers no
longer park in the middle of the turning bay so this area can be used as well
as down below the field. If you do
require coming into the school to drop your child off, please park either down
by the field or in the parking bay. The
safety of our students is our priority.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

8.30am so they are ready to start their learning and be mindful that students

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It has been
a very busy time around school with lots of construction work happening. The finished result is a new concrete wall
and drainage system behind from Room 2 to Room 7. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This new
upgrade will prevent future flooding in classes during heavy rain. Before the work it was just dirt and mud and
nowhere for the water to go but now with the new drainage system we won’t have
any more problems with flooding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is
also a new wall by the court, look out this could be the next school mural
site!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thanks to all our teachers and students who were very patient during this upgrade! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We
are already half way through the term.
The students have settled back well to school especially our new
students to the school. Thank you to
parents who ensure the students are arriving at school by 8.30am and are
picking up their children promptly between 2 and 2.30pm. There are too many students who are arriving
at school after the morning bell. This
is disruptive for the teacher and students often miss out on notices and the
start of lessons. Late arrivals are
recorded by the teacher. Unless a child
has tutoring or an after school activity they must be picked up by 2.30pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">For
our families that are new to Samoa it is useful to know that when the Samoan
Flag is being raised or taken down it is a sign of respect to stop and stand
still and look at the flag. We now have
students who blow a whistle when the flag is being raised and taken down to
help us be aware that this is happening.
We appreciate our parents doing the same so students can follow your
good example.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We have an excellent team of experienced teachers at VBS for 2018. </div>
<br />
We welcome our parents/caregivers/new families to an informal Meet The Teachers evening on Thursday at 5.00pm.<br />
<br />
The format of the evening is relaxed. We all meet together on the court at 5.00pm where teachers will introduce themselves and you will hear information about the school.<br />
<br />
This is followed by teachers returning to their classrooms where you can pop in and have a look around and if you haven't meet your child's teacher yet, this is a great opportunity to meet them.<br />
<br />
Remember that if you can't make the evening, parents and caregivers are always welcome to come into the class between 8.00-8.30am.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><u>SCHOOL FEES</u></b>
Thanks to all the parents who have already paid their school fees. A reminder that school fees
are due no later than Friday 20th October 2017. As per the Vaiala Beach School handbook, any
fees not paid by this date will incur a 10% late fee. We encourage all fees to be paid directly to:
ANZ Account No.4031570, Vaiala Beach School. Please put your child’s name as reference of
payment for easy identification.
As this is the final term, please also note that any fees not received by the end of week
five (Friday 10th November 2017) will result in your child’s withdrawal from school. Any
exception needs to be agreed to by the Principal and in writing.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Students Returning in 2018</u></b>
Thank you to those who returned the letter confirming children returning in 2018. Most classes
for next year have now reached capacity and we still have a high demand for places. Please advise
the school as soon as possible should your plans change and your child/ren will not be returning.<br />
<br />

Leticia in Room 5 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Week 1.<br />

<b><u>Disaster Management Plan</u></b>
We are in the process of implementing a more robust Disaster Management Plan for the school.
This will involve aligning our plan with the emergency processes put in place by the government,
ensuring all parents have access to our plan, and holding regular emergency training and drills with
the students.In the meantime, we wish to reassure you that in the event of a natural disaster all
students will be required to remain at school, where they will be under the school’s care and
supervision, until they are collected by an authorised parent or caregiver. Please talk to your
children about your own disaster management plan and discuss how you can prepare.<br />
<br />
<b><u>US Embassy Gran</u></b>t
Thank you to the US Embassy for generously awarding our school with a grant to upgrade our
school security. With this grant, we can look forward to the building of new and more secure
fencing around our grounds, cameras and alarms which will help minimise the risk of criminal
damage to our school property, and keep out unwanted animals.<br />
