In addition, the Governing Council has
been working on a new document to
support community interactions at our
school. In particular, communication
and actions that support the students,
staff and families at Modbury School.
The new policy titled ‘Community
Code of Conduct’ will be shared with
all families next term. It promotes a
proactive culture with an overall focus
on safety and respect for all members
of our community. This will also be
used to provide supportive information
to future families looking to enrol at
our school and preschool.
New Enrolment Processes
The Department for Education has a
new policy that effects all new
reception enrolments in the public
system. Any family wishing to enrol a
child into reception in a primary
school are asked to complete, a
‘Registration of Interest’ form and
lodge it with their intended school by
the end of term 2.
Offers of placement will then be issued
in August. This is a new process,
please contact the school if you
require support. If you are aware of

Can you help with items for
imagination play?
We have had great interest in children making
‘cubby houses ‘around our play areas.
A range of sticks, branches, bark and leaves are
being used to build lovely places that are
promoting imaginative play.
We are currently limited in the sticks that are falling
from trees. Also, additional items that would be
helpful are small pots/pans/ tin cups etc. for
creating ‘dining and camp experiences’ in the
cubbies.
If you have any items that may help foster the
cubbies children are making, please contact the
front office as we would welcome your support.

Muslim community called the “Festival of Breaking the
Fast”.
Children participated in games and craft activities.

Modbury School Garden progress…..
It has been a busy time in the garden over the past few months with raised garden beds being
installed and filled with dirt. We have been using our Landcare Grant to support this process.
Students have been learning about worms and our new worm farms in preparation for the spring
planting. We look forward some delicious produce.
Well done to all students who
participated in SAPSASA Boys
Netball and Girls Soccer on 31 May
at Argana Park, Elizabeth Downs.
It was fantastic to see students
enjoying themselves . We faced
some tough competition and
despite this, everybody kept a
positive team spirit all day.
SAPSASA events would not be
possible without help from volunteers in the community. Thank you to Linda Cavanagh, Kylie
Swanson, Matthew Tyndale, Gary Dwiar, Lance Graver, Katrina Simpson, Yi-Chi Lin, Melissa
Nowland, Muhammad Usmani, Amanda Hayward and Jafreen Jalil for their assistance on the

Absenteeism
Kirsty Brumby, Wellbeing Leader
Lately it has been unfortunate to see many of
our students absent from school. Much of this is
accounted for by sickness and it always best for
students to stay home and rest should they be
feeling unwell.
It is important though, that parents are notifying
the school anytime their child is going to be
