Thank you for being apart of our school community, we are glad to have you on board.
A full day of TRT is 8:00am (first morning duty) until 3:30pm (end of a afterschool yard duty). Should we only need a half day, this will be communicated with you directly.
Please expected to be utilised for every lesson, and potentially up to two yard duties duirng your day as the TRT.
The Bethany Christian School staff are a great team, and you can be confident any member of the team will do their best to help you to answer any questions.
When you arrive please sign in at the Front Office and collect your TRT bundle (badge, key, vest and first aid kit) for the day. Please return all items when sign out at the end of the day.

From time to time you will recevie calls, this normally happens on the morning should someone call in sick. These calls will normally happen between 6:00 and 6:30am.
If you receive a text message or call, could you please confirm either way as this really helps me know how to proceed. I understand that you can't always work, but letting me know this really helps.
Once booked you will then start receiving cover emails from our school system, which outlines your daily schdeule. Some day may be for future dates, so please be aware of this when looking at the cover emails.

Please record this behaviour on the green Yard Duty Slips (carbon copies) that should be found in your Yard Duty bag.
Please return the original copy to the class teacher (if able to) and then drop the carbon copy to the Front Desk at the end the day with the rest of the items. Please make sure you communicate that these slips may need processing.
You would also find Care Room slips. These need to be filled out any time students need to go do the Care Room. More information is below.

Our end of day school bell goes at 3:07 as a reminder to have students packed up, and then out the door for 3:10pm to assist with the flow of the car park.
The class roll must be completed daily by all classroom teachers as close to 8:45am as possible, and no later than 9:00am
The best way to use the Edumate attendance system is to follow the pattern as described below:
1. When the bell rings students head to class.
2. Teachers mark the roll as soon as class begins (marke as either PRESENT or ABSENT).
3. Once the roll is marked and completed, any late students must sent to the office to sign in.
4. The office signs in the student and gives the student a printed late slip.
5. The student takes this slip and gives it to the teacher to get into class.
The best way for teachers to get to the mark roll screen is through the Diary option on the left-hand vertical menu.
From Diary, simply select the lesson and then the mark roll option.
1. Make sure you are on the correct period roll. Should be set to AM.
2. Click Auto-mark roll
3. As you call the roll, change any students AWAY to ABSENT with the dropdown menu
4. When all absentees are entered click COMPLETE ROLL.
Never allow a child to leave the school with an adult without an early departure slip.
If need be, redirect the parent to the Student Desk and keep the child in the classroom until they return with the slip.
If you are handed an early dismissal slip on duty during a break time, please make sure the slip goes to the student’s teacher to alert them that their student has gone home.
The school has three bells to indicate an emergency:
Evacuation - Alternating high and low tone
Leave the classroom with your class and move to the oval. Roll Call on the Oval
Invacuation - Tone ascending
Stay in the classroom, Lock the door, close the blinds move away from the windows and shelter under desks.
All Clear - Condistent tone repeated
These tones can be found in the TRT class folders under 00 Evacuation Alamrs Folder
Canteen orders are placed online through the Munch Monitor app.
Any student that has forgotten their lunch can be sent to the Student Desk to have lunch organised for them.
There is also a sandwich bar outside the Well-being HUB where students can access sandwiches for forgotten lunches.
If a child needs to go to the toliet, please send the student to the toilet with a buddy from class. Students are not to roam the school alone.
Students may need first aid during your time as a TRT.
Should a child need anything more than a bandaid, please send the student (with a buddie) to the student desk with one of the white First Aid notes from your TRT bumbag.
The blue Absentee Folder needs to be filled out and sent to the office before 9:15am. When it is delivered back to the class in the afternoon, please go through it as there will be notes to go home with students for that day.
Each class has a behvaiour booklet to record students behaviour.
Please record all behvaiour in this booklet, as it is the best communication tool between you, the class teacher, and the Deputy Principal.
Please see an outline of the behaviour management system at Bethany.
Please use during your time at Bethany as it will assist you with classroom management.
In an emergency, call the front office on 8283 0000 or Debbie Clifford on her mobile.

Leaving the classroom without permission and physical violence are deemed unsafe behaviours and therefore not tolerated at Bethany Christian School.
These behaviours must be reported to the relevant Coordinator or Deputy Principal to issue a Community Service.
Remember to record yard offences (including the names of victims or isolated children) in the blue or pink yard duty books.
All behaviours are recorded and tracked. Patterns are picked up and dealt with.
Hand out Logical Consequences only.
Further consequences will be handed out by the relevant teacher or coordinator.
