You can subscribe to the newsletter at the schoolwebsite: www.sunburyps.vic.edu.auRespectful Online BehaviourThe use of social media is prolific in today’s society. Online environments and language used can be quite different. Userssometimes write things online that they would never say to someone’s face. Users may feel they are anonymous, however onlineinteractions can be accessed across the web. Unacceptable behaviours need to be addressed.The school core values of Respect, Cooperation, Caring, Honesty and Responsibility also apply in online environment.I ask that families discuss respectful online behaviour in accordance with the school’s core values.Travelling to and from schoolStudents are reminded that they should travel directly between school and home both on the way to and from school each day.Delays in arriving home can cause some anxious moments for parents.Students are representing themselves and the school when travelling to and from school and are expected to behaveappropriately.Older students are asked to care for younger siblings if required.Uniform ShopThe uniform shop is open every Wednesday from 2.30 pm – 3.30 pm.
