Dodges Ferry Primary School 2000 School Profile Dodges Ferry Primary
School is set near the beach in the seaside township of Dodges Ferry.
The school has a current enrolment of approximately 460 students K – 6.
The school is surrounded by wetlands and beautiful grounds.
Built in 1987, the school student numbers have grown from 46 – 460 over
that period.
What we have achieved in 2000 1.
Sunsmart
– new tables in 5/6 area were purchased with our $500 award from 1999, the
next step is to purchase shade umbrellas and shade sails. § Prep area - $11000 has been raised to develop a shade structure in our Prep playground area (P & F) §
Sunsmart – Skin Cancer
Awareness Day – we sold $214 worth of stickers and also held a crazy hat day
to promote awareness. §
In 2001 we would like to
encourage the wearing of broad-rimmed hats as opposed to caps. 2.
Family Planning – we held a week program for our 5/6 students, which was very
positive and beneficial. We also had a parent information evening where we had nearly 30 parents; this was very successful and allowed our parents to feel comfortable with what this program offers their children. 3.
The running of our canteen is improved with a better variety of
healthy foods and drinks. It is
also open before school to cater for breakfast needs. 'Cool canteens' is a 2001 priority. 4.
Community Focus – Our wetlands project-worked with ATCV, Green Corp, Parks and Wildlife
and Landcare Group to restore our wetlands
5.
First Aid – New staff members have been trained in first aid procedures. 6.
Promotion of School Uniform
– In the last week of November we
hosted a P – 6-fashion parade of our school uniform supported by our P &
F. We modelled the broad rimmed hat
also. 7.
Physical Education Program –
continues to promote physical fitness, to be improved with more access to
equipment at recess and lunch times in 2001. 8.
SSE –
we have elected a team manager to facilitate the development of a comprehensive
Supportive School Environment Policy. To
support this we have had staff input and will continue this work throughout
2001. 9.

provide support to peers during recess and lunch and major events. Up
