The Australian Reading Hour (ARH) is an important annual campaign encouraging Australians of all ages to pick up a book at any time of the day or night and read for an hour. We cannot stress enough the importance of modelling reading for all of its purposes to your children and to encourage them to do the same.

Welcome to the final Newsletter for Term 3 – 2019
It seems that each week goes by faster than the previous one and there is certainly a lot that happens from one week to the next that needs to be planned and managed. Over the last few weeks leadership staff have been conducting formalised classroom observations and performance development discussions with each of the staff. This element of our work includes a visit during lesson time for us to engage with the students, their teachers and the teaching and learning program. It is great to get a chance to spend uninterrupted time in with classes.
OPEN NIGHT It was wonderful to see so many families sharing in their children’s knowledge and achievements at Open Night. The classrooms, STEM space and PE area were all busy with people engaging in a variety of activities. We saw families: analysing student progress; making music with bananas: forming a ukulele band; exploring the brain, growth mindset and wellbeing; taking the chopstick challenge…all educational and so much fun! School has certainly changed over the years.

SPORTS DAY – THURSDAY 26th SEPTEMBER
We are sending positive vibes that the weather on
Thursday the 26th will be ideal for our annual sports
day.
Please Be ‘Sun Smart’! We would like to see all staff,
students and parents wearing sun protection
clothing in house colours, hats and sun block. All
students need to wear sneakers and bring their own
water bottle – labelled with their name.
ALL STUDENTS are to go to their classes as usual
at the commencement of the school day. They
must also return to their classroom at the end
of recess and lunch so that they can be
checked off against the roll.
During the morning events, children must remain
with their class and teacher. After lunch, all
students will be sitting in mixed class groups in their
house teams. Each house team will have a
designated teacher identifiable by their Hi-Vis vest.
Any students that need to go to the toilet, MUST
BE SIGNED IN AND OUT BY THIS TEACHER. If for
any reason, you need to leave early with your
child, you must also report to this teacher for
signing out. Please understand, this process is
important to ensure student safety….not to be
difficult.
TOILETS - please remember to use the designated
toilets – signage will be apparent. Adults with
toddlers, please use the toilets for the disabled.

the games.
