School Vision
Courageous learners,
Caring people.
From the Principal
Good afternoon parents and carers,
Term Three is always a busy and productive term and this one has been no exception. This term the students have learnt so much, been incredibly active and had loads of fun along the way. School holidays are only one week away. We wish everyone a wonderful and restful holiday break.
Students Leaving at the end of the school year
It is of critical importance for us to be informed if a student is leaving as small changes to our student numbers can make a big difference to the way we structure our classes for the following year. Therefore, if your child is leaving the school, could you please send us an email at Madeley.PS@education.wa.edu.au or inform your child’s class teacher as soon as possible. Thank you.
Interschool Athletics Carnival
Congratulations to all students who participated in yesterday’s Interschool Carnival. The students were all very well behaved and showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the day .
Bushfire Plan
Due to our proximity to bushland on our western border, we are required to have a Bushfire Plan. Please find the attached map of the evacuation route of students and the evacuation meeting point where staff and students will meet, in the unlikely event of a bushfire emergency. We will continue to have evacuation and fire drills in the future to rehearse and refine our emergency management procedures.
Term 4
School holidays start on Sat 23rd Sept and students are due back to school on Monday 9th Oct. The School Development Days for next term are on Friday 20th Oct and Friday 15th Dec.
School Security During the Holidays
We rely on the community for support to keep our school secure and safe during the holiday period. We ask parents to keep an eye on our school during the holiday period and report any suspicious behaviour to Education Security on 9264 4632 or Police 131 444. The Education Security phone number is on signage on fencing around the outside of the school.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Lainie Beccegato
Principal

With a very special mention to both the lovely Sheree and Carli who helped by donating the most delicious of Rocky Roads.
We thank you all so very much.

Building Your Child's Self Esteem
Good self-esteem helps children and young people to try new things, take healthy risks and solve problems. Positive self-esteem provides children with a solid foundation for their learning and development and enables them to feel good about themselves. Parents can help build the self-esteem of their children by frequently doing the following with them:
- Say “I love you”
- Develop and maintain special daily rituals
- Let your children help you
- Let your child make mistakes and solve some of their own problems
- Praise children for trying
- Show an interest in the sports or hobbies they are interested in
- Eat meals as a family
- Seek out one-on-one opportunities often
- Praise desirable behaviour (praise should be genuine and specific)
- Correct negative behaviour firmly but lovingly
- Respect their choices
- Celebrate your child’s successes - big and small
- Make your children a priority in your life.
