Dear Parents/Carers, Students and Members of the Kippa-Ring State School Community,

2018 VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION FEE A special thank you to families who have supported the 2018 Voluntary Contribution Fee of $30.00 per student. This works out to 71 cents per school week! Whilst this seems a very small amount, when all families support the scheme, it can add substantial value to classroom resources. Please seriously consider supporting the scheme, by completing

the form as soon as possible; and before Friday 23 March 2018.

ARTHUR CONLAN - INDIGENOUS ARTIST

Many people comment positively on the artwork and murals that are a

feature of our school. These have been added to over a period of years,

with student involvement being a key to the success of the program.

We have a long standing relationship with Arthur Conlan, the lead artist

who has conducted workshops on site. So here is some of Arthur’s

story…

“I am an Aboriginal artist from the Wakka Wakka / Kulilla people of

Cherbourg in Queensland. I am one of 14 children and a member of a

much larger, extended family.

I started painting from the age of 9 by studying the skills of my uncles.

Year 12 as Murgon SHS, Teacher Aide, Army – 10 years and now a

successful, self-employed Artist.

I have business interests covering wholesale networks supplying

Aboriginal Artworks to businesses throughout Australia and

internationally. I also design and produce my own line of materials and

clothing.”

We appreciate the unique works that are an important part of our

school environment. So many students, staff and community members

have participated in Arthur’s workshops and mural decorations.

Kippa’s Deadly Maths

Challenge Kippa-Ring State School is organizing a “Deadly Maths Challenge”. We

want to make maths fun and are inviting our Kippa families and friends

to come and share some maths activities with their student. Our school

is proud to be trialling the PRIME Futures program, in association with

the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

The PRIME Futures program targets Prep to Year 9 students and uses

the YuMi Deadly Maths (YDM) approach, to improve student learning

outcomes. It focuses on increasing teachers’ capacity to engage with all

students and deliver mathematics education in an Indigenous context.

Each class has been allocated a 40 minute session to participate in

a variety of fun activities in our school hall, as part of our “Kippa

Deadly Maths Challenge”.

We are inviting parents, family and friends to come and join their

student to complete some of the activities.

Please arrive at our hall 10 minutes before the allocated time, to sign in

the visitor’s book, on a table near the entrance. Our students are really

looking forward to sharing this event with you, so we hope you can

make it!

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

“A person with little learning is like a frog

who thinks a puddle is a great sea.” - Proverb

Best wishes,

Alan Brooks – Principal & Rebecca Campbell - Deputy Principal

STUDENT TIPS - POSITIVE MINDSET

1) I Can Do It means thinking that when learning something new and I

try very hard, I am more likely to be successful than to fail.

2) Accepting Myself - when I make a mistake or don’t understand

something, thinking that I have not failed, I am still proud of me.

3) Taking Risks - thinking that it’s good to try to learn new things,

even though I might not be able to do it, yet!

4) Being Independent - thinking that it’s important for me to try new

activities and to speak up, even if others think I’m silly.

5) Setting Goals - thinking that setting a goal for what I want to learn

can help me be more successful at a task.

6) Planning My Time - thinking about how long schoolwork will take

to get done and planning enough time to get it done.

7) Being Tolerant of Others - thinking that when someone is mean to

me or different from me, not thinking that he or she is not a totally

bad person.

8) Playing by the Rules - thinking that by following classroom rules

and expectations, school will be a better place to live and learn.

9) Thinking First - thinking that when someone treats me badly, I need

to think about the best way to act.

10) Social Responsibility - thinking that it is important to help others

with their learning and not be a distraction or in class.

YOU CAN DO IT! PROGRAM

YOU CAN DO IT!

In 2018, we will be continuing our school wide focus on the “You Can Do

It!” Program. “You Can Do It!” is a respected program that identifies the

social and emotional capabilities that all young people need to acquire

in order to be successful in school, experience wellbeing, and have

positive relationships. The You Can Do It! Program will commence in

Term Two and our school wide focus will be Confidence.

To ensure all of our students have a positive start to the 2018 school

year, we are focusing on school-wide and classroom routines and

expectations throughout Term One.

This week, students across our school have been learning about using

the High Five when there is a problem in the classroom or playground.

The High Five is an effective strategy to develop problem-solving

strategies for our students and it can be used at home as well as at

school.

When using the High Five, young people are developing positive social

skills, problem solving skills and resilience. The five steps of the High Five

are:

1. Talk Friendly

2. Talk Firmly

3. Ignore

4. Walk Away

5. Report

Students have been learning about all five steps of the High Five, but

there has been a strong focus on Step 5: Report. It’s important for

students to report incidents to the nearest staff member as soon as

possible so that the incident can be investigated. Reporting an incident

is very different to ‘dobbing’ on another student. Here are some ways in

which reporting is different to dobbing:

Reporting Dobbing

Purpose is to keep people safe Trying to get somebody else in

trouble

Need help from an adult to solve

problems

Can handle the problem by

yourself

Important Not Important

Harmful and dangerous

situations

Harmless situations

Behaviour is mean and

deliberate

Behaviour is accidental

We have included a copy of the High Five Hand with explanations for

you to share with your children at home.

HEALTH ALERT Gastroenteritis

We have had a number of students absent from school over the past

week or so, due to having a ‘Gastro Bug’ commonly known as

Gastroenteritis. This ‘bug’ is a common illness that can cause vomiting

and diarrhoea. Many types of gastro are easily spread, and are not

usually serious, but can make you very dehydrated. Milder forms can be

managed at home by drinking fluids. See a doctor immediately if your

child cannot hold down a sip of liquid, or has dehydration.

Gastro should only last for a few days and doesn’t usually require

medication. If you suspect that your child is suffering from a bout of

‘gastro,’ it is very important that they stay at home until the symptoms

have been gone for at least 24 hours, to prevent the spread of it to

others.

NOTE: In 2017, we trialled the use of ‘automatic anti-bacterial foam

dispensers’, to further improve hygiene. This has been a very successful

provision, so will continue this year.

Head Lice

Head Lice are on the move again! Head lice do not discriminate. It

doesn’t matter if your hair is long or

short, clean or dirty, children are

bound to get head lice at some stage

during their schooling.

Head Lice are tiny insect parasites that

live in people’s hair and feed on the

skin on their scalp. They lay eggs (nits)

on the hair closest to the scalp. Head Lice are not dangerous, and are

not a sign of poor hygiene.

Head Lice are spread by head to head contact with another person who

has head lice. They can run from one head to another in seconds. They

cannot fly, jump or swim, but they can swing from one hair to another.

An itchy scalp is usually the first sign that your child may have head lice.

The itchiness though can take weeks to develop. You may also be able

to see head lice crawling through the hair. Adult lice are usually dark

brown and about 2 -3 mm long. Young lice are harder to see as they are

often a lighter brown colour and smaller in size. Eggs will be attached to

the hair shaft and hard to see, as they are grey-white in colour and

about the size of a grain of salt.

If you think your child may have head lice, please check and treat your

child’s hair as soon as you can. A cheap, effective way of checking and

treating head lice, is the 10 day hair conditioner and comb method. This

method focuses on removing adult head lice from hair and breaking the

egg laying cycle.

Step 1: Apply plenty of hair conditioner (home brands work just as well

as more expensive ones) to dry hair until all the hair is covered. The

conditioner slows the head lice down so they can be trapped in the

comb. Comb the conditioner through the hair with an ordinary comb or

brush.

Step 2: Separate the hair into section and gently comb each section one

at a time with a metal, fine tooth ‘nit comb’ in 4 directions.

Step 3: After brushing through each section, wipe the conditioner from

the comb onto a white paper towel or tissue and check for head lice.

Continue combing until each section of the hair has been checked.

Step 4: When you have finished, wash the conditioner out and dry the

hair.

If head lice are found, it is important to do these steps every few days,

over a 10 day period.
