WELL DONE SOPHIA
Congratulations to Sophia (Unit 4) who attended a world acrobatics competition in Las Vegas, USA in March. She competed in the 11-16 year old acrobatic gymnastics competition as a 'flyer'. You can see her being tossed into the air (in front of all those judges!!!) in these amazing images below. Sophia and her teammates placed 3rd in the worldwide competition, which is an amazing accomplishment. We are all so very proud of her achievement - well done Sophia (and to her teammates for bringing her back to the ground safely again !!)

On Friday the 3rd of May, Ascot Vale Primary School played against Kensington Primary School, in every game all AVPS students were able to play well together and showed amazing sportsmanship!
The scores for Round One were:
Tee Ball |
Netball |
AFL |
16 – 10 AVPS won |
Team A - The Girls Team 10 – 0 Kensington won Team B – The Mixed Team 8 – 2 Kensington won |
66 – 6 Kensington won |
For Round Two for Interschool Sports, we sadly had to cancel our game against St Mary’s due to poor weather conditions. This will sometimes happen during this ISS season, a big thank you to all of the students and parents for understanding that the safety of all students, comes first.
There is no ISS game this week (17th of May) due to the District Cross Country, student who were not chosen to be a member of the AVPS Cross Country Team will have classes as normal.
REMINDER FOR AFL PLAYERS:
Make sure you have a mouthguard before our next game on the 24th of May, or you will not be allowed to play.
District Cross Country
This Friday the 17th of May is the District Cross Country Carnival, all students who have been selected will have a meeting with me during Wednesday lunchtime to discuss everything they need to know and receive their District T-shirts. All information is posted on the window outside of Unit 4, including the potential track layout if any parents wish to know more. Parents who have students on the team are more than welcome to come and support the AVPS Cross Country Team and if possible help out with the event.
PE lessons
This term I have been able to organise a lot of special visitors during PE lessons, by inviting coaches into our PE lesson, I aim to provide students with specialised coaching.
Students who had PE on Tuesday the 7th of May were part of a single AFL clinic run by Brad and Muhammad from Essendon Football Club. The clinics focused on the main skills of handballing and kicking.
Students who had PE on Thursday the 9th of May were part of an AFL clinic run by Jessie from North Melbourne Football Club, Jessie will be running a four week AFL clinic, only on Thursdays. If your child does not have PE on Tuesday or Thursday do not worry, there will be more opportunities for them to have a special PE lesson further on in the term.
Prep – level 2 homework
At the start of the year, I signed up every Prep - Level 2 student to the ‘Melbourne Renegades Mascot Challenge’. The Mascot Challenge is a four-week program that will aid your child’s fundamental motor skills. Students will be issued homework during PE, which I will also publish in the AVPS Newsletter, so you know what is expected of them. Please set aside at least five to ten minutes every day to do the challenges with them, this little amount of time will greatly improve their fundamental motor skills.
In PE next week, every Prep to level two student will receive a red stress ball that is theirs to use for the challenge and to keep, please keep the ball at home as if it is lost at school I am unable to obtain another one. Below are the focuses for Week One and Two, if you require a bigger explanation they will be posted on the window out the front of Unit Four.
Cheers,
Britt Stephenson

TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF STUDENTS
AVPS requests that parents, guardians, carers or visitors to our school who may be taking photos or videos (eg assembly, special events) please be mindful of their use of media, particularly when this may contain images of other students, either directly or in the background. Please be aware that there are a number of students who do not have permission for their image to be published online. Please also note, permission to publish is for the school only. We therefore request that parents, guardians, carers or visitors taking photos or videos be conscious that they do not have permission to publish images and ask that images of other students are NOT posted online, including social media sites.
ALLERGIES & a reminder about CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS
We have a number of students with allergies at Ascot Vale PS who require specific management. Some of these students also suffer from Anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction to a range of allergens. These reactions can be life threatening for some students.
We therefore ask that all parents and caregivers DO NOT distribute food at any time without the direct permission of the regular classroom teacher.
Our ‘Celebrating Birthdays at AVPS’ guidelines provide more details about this important school rule and is available online at:
http://avps.vic.edu.au/uploads/9/5/6/5/95656824/celebratingbirthdaysguidelines2017.pdf
STUDENT SAFETY - BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
There have been a large number of students arriving early to school without parent or carer supervision. It is the parent’s responsibility to care for students:
https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/principals/spag/safety/Pages/supervision.aspx#link37
BIKES, SCOOTERS AND COMMUNITY SAFETY
Students and parents/ caregivers are reminded that bicycles and scooters are NOT allowed to be ridden on school property between 8.45-3.45pm. Bikes can be ridden after the 3.45pm bell as long as appropriate protection is used and that parents/ carers are supervising. We encourage students to ride to school however health and safety rules must protect pedestrians and our community members inside these times. Students have recently been reminded by their teachers. We ask for your help with this matter.
PARKING –DROP OFF ZONES
Parents/visitors are reminded to please follow the Moonee Valley City Council’s (MVCC) rules and regulations pertaining to parking and the drop off zone near our school. Some parents/visitors have been observed leaving their cars in the drop off zones, which impacts the efficiency of the drop off system and deems drivers at risk of being fined. MVCC parking officers regularly monitor these zones and issue fines for breaches of the rules. To ensure the zones work effectively, drivers should:
Drivers cannot park in the drop off zone during the times identified on the sign as this is only to be used as a pick up or drop off zone during those times.
Vehicles are only allowed to stay in the drop off zone for two minutes. If you overstay this time limit, you may receive a parking infringement.
IN PARTICULAR - PLEASE NOTE – The Bank Street car park and lane way MUST NOT be used as a drop off zone or for completing U turns as this is a DANGEROUS manoeuvre around small children.
We strongly encourage parents and carers to please follow the requests above in order to keep everyone safe, particularly our children.
We encourage parents / carers to park away from school and walk a short distance to avoid traffic congestion.
Please find more ' Safety Around Schools' information from MVCC below:

- ask your child to head straight to the pick up zone once the bell rings –they will then be ready and waiting once you arrive
- plan to arrive after the bell rings, not before, as you cannot wait in the zone
- remain in your vehicle at all times
- move forward to join the queue so that other cars can move into the zone
- use the handbrake when the vehicle is stationary
- not double park
- not park across a pedestrian crossing or driveway
- not undertake a U-turn in close proximity to the school
- not use the staff car park as a drop off zone
Drivers cannot park in the drop off zone during the times identified on the sign as this is only to be used as a pick up or drop off zone during those times.
Vehicles are only allowed to stay in the drop off zone for two minutes. If you overstay this time limit, you may receive a parking infringement.
