SKOOLBAG APP
The Stradbroke Skoolbag app is now available for parents to
download to your mobile devices. Please see school website
for instructions about how to do this. Skoolbag is a school to
parent communication tool and provides schools with an easy

timetables, school documents and much more. No more lost
paper in school bags.
SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING AT STRADBROKE
At Stradbroke School we are
in our third year of working
within the Kids Matter
Framework. There are 4
components that continue to
guide the teaching staff
through a deeper understanding about how to recognise,
address and then teach our students better ways to identify
and manage themselves, socially and emotionally.
2014 Positive school community
2015 Social and emotional learning
2016 Working with parents and caregivers
2016 Helping children with mental health issues
During 2015, within the framework of Kids Matter, the
teaching staff worked through a process of choosing and then
investigating specific programs that we could start to
implement in 2016. The program that we very passionately
decided suited Stradbroke School is called PLAY IS THE WAY®.
From this year on, all teaching staff, SSOs and leadership staff
will be embedding the concepts and language associated with
this program with our students, in classrooms, in all specialist
Excellence and Achievement in a Supportive School Environment 3
subjects, in the yard and by all staff who work at Stradbroke
School.
“PLAY IS THE WAY® is a practical methodology for teaching
social and emotional skills using guided play, classroom
activities and an empowering language. It is a process that
gives primary schools a way to develop, improve and
entrench the personal and social capabilities of students.
PLAY IS THE WAY® is suitable for primary school children of
all ages, abilities and ethnic backgrounds. No particular
sporting or athletic ability is required to successfully
participate”.
Wilson McCaskill – founder and owner of PLAY IS THE WAY®
On the Thursday before students came back to school, all
teaching staff, leadership and SSOs were inducted in the
concepts and language that are the foundation of PLAY IS
THE WAY®.
During this first week of school, all classroom and specialist
teachers have had a strong focus on social and emotional
learning and have started implementing the concepts and
language of PLAY IS THE WAY®. For more information about
PLAY IS THE WAY® please visit the website,
https://www.playistheway.com.au.
For further information about this program at Stradbroke
School, I will be running two parent information workshops.
Please choose the time that most suits you (they are the
same workshop, repeated twice) and ring Anona or Kathy at
the front office on 8337 2861 to register to attend.
• Friday 19th February 11.00-12.30pm.
• Tuesday 1st March 6.00-7.30pm.
Rachel Pontifex, School Counsellor

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
Classical Guitar
Due to the restructure of the Instrumental Music Program we
are unable to confirm if we have been allocated an extra
lesson for beginner students and therefore we have limited
positions in 2016. Letters have gone home today for six
successful students. Once confirmation is received we will
contact another six students. Unfortunately, due to the
limited positions some students will miss out this year. A
letter will be sent home as soon as confirmation is received.

opportunity to express your interest in being a team manager
