I hope that everyone had a good holiday period, and I know that the staff appreciated a chance to recharge before launching back into another busy term. All of our staff attended the Special Education Principals’ and Leaders’ Association state special education conference in Sydney. This was a great professional learning opportunity where special schools present to each other a range of the projects and initiatives that they are developing or implementing in their schools. Unlike much of the professional learning in the state, this conference focuses on special education. It also includes our valued learning and support staff who usually don’t get the opportunity for targeted days like this. Over 1,400 teachers, leaders and support staff from special schools and settings around the state attended. Thanks to staff who had an early start and late arrival home from a long day of work. Back to the ongoing matter of student health, if your child requires an asthma management plan, epilepsy plan or anaphylaxis plan can you please ensure that these are prepared and updated by your GP and returned to the school. Some GP’s are choosing not to use the appropriate forms, if you can insist that would be appreciated, but if they don’t use the PEN forms please ensure all information is included if they provide it in another form. It is essential that if we have an emergency that our staff have the most current and in-date health care management advice to ensure correct procedures are followed and that we minimise risk to students. Another important factor in reducing risk and ensuring student health and safety is that the school has at least one primary and two additional secondary contact phone numbers in case of an emergency. It is a Department of Education prerequisite of enrolment that at least three contact numbers are available and working. We have had the unfortunate and distressing situations where the school has had to arrange an ambulance when we have been unable to contact any parent, relative or carer. Please ensure that the numbers you provide work, are able to be answered during the school day and that any contact listed is aware that they are an emergency contact. We celebrate the hand-over presentation of our new bus this week so there will be some photos at last for the next newsletter in a fortnight. The work at North Entrance campus continues with most of the ground clearing and cottage move complete. We are now awaiting the environmental assessments before our new buildings arrive.

The Narara campus is still waiting for the installation of air-conditioning for our school hall and heating in the
student muster areas. Unfortunately all these works need to go through a centralised asset management sys-
tems which is extremely slow.
Finally, I hope that all parents and carers appreciated the new report formats that came out last term. I am al-
ways happy to get feedback.

CENTRAL COAST FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES Our grandparent peer support groups are a great way for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren to meet and get some support over a cuppa. Peer support groups meet regularly at venues across the Central Coast during school terms. We currently have 3 groups operating out of two locations on the Central Coast: Wyong SaCCs Centre - on the FIRST Friday of the month - the first group for term 3 will be on the 2nd August Erina Centre, Erina Fair - on the SECOND and LAST Friday of the month - the first group for term 3 will be on the 26th July These support groups provide a great opportunity for grandparents raising their grandchildren to meet other grandparents carers and link in with the community.
