“Educating and caring for the whole child”

The weeks seem to be going by very quickly as we

rapidly approach the end of year and the staff are

looking forward to the celebratory events planned at

Guise Public School over the coming weeks.

Guise Has Got Talent!

On Wednesday last week, some very talented students

participated in our annual ‘Guise Has Got Talent’ Talent

Quest. We had a variety of performances, from

skipping to impersonations, to some awesome singers

and dancers. All the performers did a wonderful job

and should be very proud of themselves. The winners

on the day were:

First: Girls Dance Group featuring Paris, Lisita,

Jenna, Kisa, Amy and Petrice.

Second: The awesome impersonations of Tobias

Third: Maycie singing ‘This is ME’

Congratulations to the winners and to all the students

who rehearsed and put an act together for the talent

quest and participated on the day.

PSSA Zone Sports Presentation

On 3 September, Jenara W represented Guise Public

School at the Zone Athletics Carnival at Campbelltown

Sports Stadium, where she placed 2nd in the 100m sprint.

On 19 September, she progressed to the next level and

represented Guise Public School at the Sydney South

West Area Athletics Carnival, where she competed in the

100m race. Last Tuesday, Jenara attended the PSSA

Sports Presentation night at Ingleburn High School and

was acknowledged for all her effort by receiving a

certificate for representing the Fields at Zone

Athletics. Congratulations on your fantastic achievement,

Jenara, we are all very proud of you!

School Canteen in 2019 In 2019, the Guise Public School Canteen will reduce its

operating hours, as per the note sent out this week to all

families. The Canteen will operate on Tuesdays,

Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Canteen was put out to tender earlier this year and

unfortunately, there were no tenders received. In order

for us to continue providing this service to our students,

we need to reduce the days the Canteen is available from

next year.

On Mondays and Fridays, when the canteen is NOT open,

parents/carers will need to ensure children have a packed

lunch and recess. There will be no orders or over the

counter purchases available on these days.

Uniforms

As the end of year approaches and with the expectation

that all students come each day in full school uniform, I

ask all parents/carers to take stock and check that they

have enough items to start the new 2019 school year.

Uniforms are available for purchase from the school

office upon request. Payment can be made by cash,

EFTPOS or online payment on our school website.

There will also be 2 days in the school holidays that

parents may come into the school office to purchase

uniforms. These dates are as listed below:

Wednesday 23rd January 2019

Thursday 24th January 2019

Uniforms will be available for purchase from 12:00pm –

2:00pm on each of these days.

Part of the school uniform is the wearing of black school

shoes and we would like all students to start next year in

black shoes. All students need to wear a Guise PS School

Hat in the playground. When buying socks the colour is

white for girls and navy blue for boys.

2019 Classes As mentioned in the last newsletter, to help with the

organisation of class formations and planning for next

year, could you please notify the school office as soon as

possible if you know your child/children will not be

attending Guise PS due to changes in circumstances or

family moves.

Have a wonderful week!

Lakem has grown in confidence this

semester. She is beginning to take risks in her

learning, which has become evident in her

growing confidence in reading, writing and

numeracy. Lakem attempts every

classroom activity with enthusiasm and is

always willing to lend a hand to students

and teachers. She has begun to speak

clearly and joins in on class discussions more

frequently. It has been a pleasure to watch

her grow into a confident, risk-taking

learner. Well done, Lakem!

Organisation

Lornajean displays a high level of

organisation when attending Learning

Boosts. She is always the first student ready

to commence the lesson. Lornajean brings

all equipment needed with her and this

enables her to complete tasks without

unnecessary interruptions. During reading

support, she is able to assist in setting her

own learning goals and works tirelessly to

achieve them. Throughout this term, she has

demonstrated tremendous growth in

reading and this can be attributed to her

hard work and fantastic organisational skills.

Well done, Lornajean.

Persistence

This term the students of 1/2B are

investigating ways to solve mathematical

problems. The problems are extremely

challenging and require an enormous

amount of persistence to solve. During a

mathematical number talk, Ellamia

continued to apply a number of strategies

to problem solve until she was successful.

She has shown persistence even when the

work has been challenging at times and I

encourage her to continue to work hard

and never give up!

Resilience

Throughout the semester, Alex has

demonstrated an enthusiastic approach to

all aspects of learning. He consistently tries

to do the best job that he can and puts in

100% effort. Alex aims high, but realises that

if the outcome is not perfect, he can listen

to feedback and retry. He demonstrates

helpful and positive thinking skills and has

shown greater personal strength to cope

with challenges. Alex shows genuine care

and concern for his friends and tries his best

to maintain healthy friendships. Well done,

Alex.
