Dear Parents/ Carers,

ROCKETING AROUND THE SCHOOL WITH MR PITT

K CAMPBELL: Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of visiting KC during a STEM based lesson. The children were

making a pen for their farm animals. Each group was given materials to use to make a fence for their farm

animal. At the end of the lesson Mr Carbone put the fences we made around some of the animals. Thank you

KC, I had a great time.

PLAYGROUP: On Monday I visited Playgroup. During the visit the children and their mums were using matchbox cars to

make tyre patterns with paint. After this the children used playdoh to form letters of their name. We also had fun making

pretend cakes with our friends. I am proud that we can provide our community with a school-funded playgroup

coordinated by Miss Anita and Miss Iman.

SUPPORT: Last Thursday I visited Mr Kinniburgh during one of his numeracy lessons with students from 5/6L. The

lesson focus was fractions—with a focus on equivalent fractions. It was pleasing to see the children talking about their

work and not just giving the answer. Great work everyone!

END OF SEMESTER CELEBRATIONS

We have ended the term on a wonderful note with our K-2 and 3 –6 end of semester celebration

assemblies. Many children received awards for the huge effort that have put in over the last two

terms. We also had medallions and trophies for the Spelling Bee and Public Speaking. As always

both assemblies had performances by various groups—drama, Aboriginal Community of Schools

Dance Mob, Sparklers dance group and the whole school singing performance from everyone.

Another highlight of both assemblies was seeing many parents, carers and friends in attendance. I

know the children get excited when family and friends visit school at these times. I would also like

to thank the school executive team for coordinating the celebrations.

TERM 2 REVIEW

Some Term 2 highlights have included:

Enjoy the holidays. Be safe, stay active and have lots of fun. School resumes on Tuesday 23 July, 2019.

Take a break with Mrs Karam!

Each fortnight I visit a ‘break activity’ group.

Girls Basketball Team

Last week I visited the girls basketball team. They are a

group of passionate, talented and eager young ladies.

The girls were working on their shooting techniques

from close range and also from a far. The girls eagerly

showed off their skills and were keen to show me their

‘jump’ shots! I was very impressed. It was lovely to see

the girls working so well together as a team and

listening to their coach Mrs Lale. Well done girls keep

up the hard work and I look forward to hearing your

PSSA results each week.

Junior and Senior Cricket Team

Last week I visited the junior and senior cricket team. I

really enjoyed visiting the teams as cricket is one of my

favourite sports! I was so impressed by how much the

students have learnt about the game in such a short

space of time. Miss Yousif was helping students with

their batting in the cricket nets and Mr Misitano was

working on catching skills on the grass. I enjoyed

throwing some high balls to the students and they did

so well catching the balls and quickly throwing them at

the stumps. I am looking forward to hearing about

your PSSA results each week. Well done!

THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to Mrs Kirsty Tannous for creating masterpieces in our student toilets!

She has painted inspirational messages and designs on the toilet doors. They look amazing

especially seeing how techniques have changed since

going to school yourself. OSHClub hosts HOMEWORK

with the difficult questions, see some of their friends

outside of school and also get to fill their bellies with

some Healthy Afternoon Tea. If you have any

Over the last fortnight we have been exploring some really

colourful and fun experiences that have allowed us to look

into a variety of different shades and colours that are in the

world. We made some beautiful flowers out of celery, where

we mixed together different colours to make our very own

colour. We also created our very own Rainbow fruit

popsicles, where we made different colours out of all our

favourite fruit then got too eat it! SO YUMMY

Healthy body, body healthy mind! A couple of the children

had a homework activity where they had to participate in

some Yoga, which all the children wants to be apart of too!

We did the downward dog, twinkle figures and lots of

stretching! We cleared our mind and relaxed before going

back to focus on our homework! It really worked to help us

relax!

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the National

Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD). The NCCD process requires

schools to identify information already available in the school

about supports provided to students with disability. These relate

to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act

1992 and the Disability Standards of Education 2005, in line with

the NCCD guidelines (2019).

Information provided about students to the Australian

Government for the NCCD include:

year of schooling

category of disability: physical, sensory or social/

emotional

level of adjustment provided: support provided within

quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary,

substantial or extensive.

This information assists schools to:

formally recognise the supports and adjustments provided

to students with disability in schools

consider how they can strengthen the support of students

with disability in schools

develop shared practices so that they can review their

learning programs in order to improve educational

outcomes for students with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the

information they need to plan more broadly for the support of

students with disability.

The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child

will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide

data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual

student will be able to be identified—the privacy and confidently

of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy

laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of

personal information.

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the https://

www.nccd.edu.au

If you have any questions about the NCCD, please contact the

school.
