Notes from Mrs Hulonce…

2020 Foundation Update-

We enjoyed another successful Foundation

session, it was particularly fun because we got

to meet our new Buddies and create an artwork

together. It was wonderful for Mrs Munday and

Miss Mason to see how our new students

interact and learn with each other and their

buddies. Thanks to parents who attended the

informal chat with me in the conference room.

On Monday 2nd December, we will be joined in

the parent session by our team of DET Support

Staff- Mrs Caroline Shepherd, Mrs Robyn Bowen

and Ms Bronwyn Keillor. These lovely ladies

support students, families and staff to help our

students be the best they can be. We hope as

many 2020 Foundation parents as possible can

attend this important session at 2pm.

2020 Year 1-6 Transition-

Transition for all other year levels starts on

Tuesday 10th December. Students will meet their

new class teachers and classmates during the

afternoon session, learning more about what

2020 will entail. Staffing arrangements will be

announced on this day. Exciting times!

Grade 6 students will spend the day at their

chosen secondary school, which will give them

a taste of what their next years of schooling will

be like. We hope this day goes well and you are

full of excitement and positivity entering the

next stage of your educational journey.

School Review-

After our review we determined three main

areas of focus for 2020- 2023. These will be

developed with more information to come. GOAL 1: To maximise student learning growth

in Literacy and Numeracy

GOAL 2: To empower student engagement in

learning

GOAL 3: To enhance student wellbeing.

2020 Netbook program-

School Council (26/11/2019) approved the

netbook costs for 2020. We have a range of

options to enable purchase of cheaper

machines. Please see the paperwork to be sent

home to Grade 5’s. Cost ranges from $150- $537

on a first in first served basis. Payments can be

made earlier than 2020, see Emma Carr. An info

session will be held on Mon 10th February 2020.

Have fun!

achievements. Think big goals and

Goal Setting & Self Talk

Goal setting is very important for us to

grow. It helps us focus. Goals shape our

dreams. Goals give us focus on what we

need to do to achieve what we want. In

order to reach our goals, we must

become better. Goal setting helps with

this by giving long-term vision in our lives.

We need powerful, long-term goals to

help us get past those short-term

challenges.

What goals do we have as a

family?

Do we have things we are aiming

to achieve?

Are we all doing what we need

to, to support the family goals?

Alongside goal setting, is self talk. This is

the voice inside our heads which

impacts who you are and how you live

your life. With practice you can learn to

be a positive friend to yourself and be

confident even when life is challenging.

What positive self-talk do

we use in our family?

Can we make this more

positive?

What words can we leave

behind?

What could we replace

the negative talk with?

Bundarra Sporting Opportunities 2019

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all Bundarra students for another amazing

year in School representative sport. From our first District Swimming event at the start of the year,

to our final event in the 3 Bays Marathon, the enthusiasm students showed towards all sporting

opportunities was amazing. We once again had an overwhelming amount of interest for all

sporting events, which is a credit to our students here at Bundarra. A big congratulations to all

those students who had the opportunity to represent Bundarra at either a District, Division, Region

or State level. Your effort and determination enabled you to participate to the best of your

abilities. Your Teamwork and Sportsmanship is always second to none, which makes such sporting

events so enjoyable for all involved. We always uphold our school values and represent our

school superbly. We may be slightly biased, but whenever there is a sporting event held, we feel

as though our students are the ones modelling exceptional behaviour both on and off the field/

court/ track.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Staff at Bundarra. Without the dedicated

staff here at Bundarra, our students would not get the opportunities to participate in such events,

nor would they have the opportunity to train with their teammates in lead up to events. I thank

you for giving up your time for our students and know that our students really do appreciate all

that you do for them.

To our parents and wider community, I would like to also thank you for your support throughout

the year. Without your support and commitment to your children, they would not have such

opportunities. I extend my thanks to all parent helpers throughout the year. Without your help and

support, sporting events cannot be held and students do not get the opportunities they should.

Thank you for supporting, timing, measuring, scoring, umpiring and all of the other roles you play

when needed. I am truly grateful for this support.

Upon reflection on another year, I am already looking forward to the New Year and the

opportunities for students next year. If you are a grade 3 or 4 student who did not have a lot of

opportunity this year, I am excited and eager to see you grab all sporting opportunities that come

your way next year. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the break,

recharge those batteries, all in readiness for a busy, but exciting Term 1, 2020.

Cheers!! Mr. O
