(this Friday). Students are not expected at
school that day. Staff will be working on end
of year student reports***
Thank you to our Years 6 students
(and Mrs. Itter and Mr. Donohue)
for a very thoughtful
Remembrance Day service last
week. The choir also did a great job
singing for the occasion.
It is always lovely to be able to
mark these special days with such
respect within our school and
community. Thanks also to the
families who joined us for the
service and who brought flowers.
**Student
Achievement
Reports will be sent
home on Friday 15th
December. **
On Thursday 7th December, a parent/teacher interview process takes the form of a
Student-Led Conference. The Conference is the sharing of information as part of
the reporting process. Student-Led Conferences are an excellent means of involving
parents, students and teachers as partners in reflecting on the student’s progress.
The students are responsible for leading the conference, and also taking
responsibility for their learning by sharing the process with their parents. It may
involve students demonstrating their understanding through a variety of different
learning situations.
The conference is 15 minutes in length, where the students can discuss and reflect
upon samples of work that they have previously chosen to share with their parents.
These samples have been previously selected with the guidance and support from
the teacher. The student identifies strengths and areas for improvement. It enables
parents to gain a clear insight into the kind of work their child is doing and offers
an opportunity for them to discuss it with their child. It also allows for more time in
their child’s learning environment to see what the child has worked on over a
period of time.
The format of this conference will depend on the age of the student and all of the
participants must understand the format and their roles prior to the conference.
**Please see page 12 for selecting a slot for your Student Led Seminar time.**

Happy Birthday to
Danial Hasma Nizam, Fraser
Padman, Georgia Donnelly,
Charlotte Donnelly and Evie
Bennett who are having their
birthdays this week. On behalf
of the Puckapunyal Primary
School Community, we wish
them all a very Happy
Birthday!
Leaving? Uniforms & Date: If you are leaving
and have any additional PPS uniform that needs a
new home, we can find one! It’s always useful to
have a supply of second hand uniform on hand.
Also, according to our records, most students
leaving PPS are here until the last day of term 4. If
this is not the case, and the school has not been
informed, we would appreciate that information.
Thank you.
2018 enrolments: If you know of any children
who are planning to attend Puckapunyal Primary
School next year, please encourage them to contact
us. Enrolment forms for 2018 are due now too.
Have a terrific week!
Sue Ranger, Defence School Transition Aide
POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR REWARD
It was a huge couple of weeks for positive
behaviour with Melba receiving 239
tickets, helping them to hit the front!
Keep up the great work everyone! CURRENT SCORES
Melba - 491 points
Chisholm - 449 points
Bradman - 385points
Hume - 300 points
***Have you heard your child read today? We encourage all students to
practise their reading at home about 5 nights per week. Therefore, by now, most
students should have read at least between 185-190 nights. Well done if you
have kept up! ***
**REMINDER- Pucka News is a growing interest in the school and our community. You can
see each episode live at our school assemblies at 9am on Monday mornings. Everyone is
encouraged to come along and watch each episode. If you are unable to attend, you can follow
Pucka News by watching each episode on our Facebook page. **
Good luck to our Year 1 students
who are going to Melbourne on Tuesday
21st November. They will be enjoying
the day at Bundoora Park, the olden day
school and the great play equipment.
At assembly on Monday 11th
December, the keyboard students
will each perform one of their
pieces they have been learning.
They would be proud to have not
just their own parents, but any
other parents interested in seeing
and hearing their progress.
Peter Hagen (Keyboard teacher)
Thank you to the parents who attended the Family
Chat Group after assembly on Monday. It gave
parents and the principal the opportunity to talk openly
about many direct and indirect community topics.

Teachers are looking for students who are demonstrating ‘Caring’ to be eligible for the Student of the Week award. We
encourage parents to talk to their students about our values throughout the year.
What does Caring mean? At assembly this week, Year 6 student Ashby Murphy read out the meaning of Caring.
‘Caring is paying attention to the things that matter to you. You can care for yourself, for other people, for pets or for
special things. When you care for something you treat it with respect and concern.’
Each week at school, SRC representatives remind our
students of a few important school rules. This week
at assembly, SRC representatives, Cally Eagles and Henry
Billen reminded our students of the following rules when
playing Ga Ga:
- There must always be an umpire. The umpire’s decision
must be obeyed without any arguments.
- Only the grades that have been timetabled on for the
week can play Ga ga.
- You can only hit the ball once, unless there are only two
players in the court.
- Only when there are two players left can the other players
lean over and tap the ball.
- No ‘grabs’.
- Always be honest.
Please discuss these rules with your children to help
ensure that they understand.
Due to the Pupil Free Day this Friday, there are no
canteen lunches this week
On Thursday 30th November the Puckapunyal Primary
School will be conducting the Individual Triathlon.
It will be held at the Puckapunyal Area Pool. The triathlon
will involve students from Years 3-6 and will be a mixture
of boys and girls. Only Years 3-6 students will attend if
they have entered the event or volunteered as a helper for
one of the participants.
Distances
Swim Leg – 5 laps of indoor pool = 165 m
Ride Leg – 2km lap X 2 = 4km
Run Leg – 1.2km lap X 1 = 1.2 km
The event will begin at 2:00 p.m. and finish at
approximately 3:30 p.m. All students attending the event
will be dismissed from the pool at 3:30 p.m. There is no
cost for the day. All parents are welcome to attend and
cheer. Permission slips are on page 10.
**Remember, before school sport is a great time to
practice for the triathlon!**
Due to the success of the Years 5/6 Bike Ride, we have decided to give our Years 3/4
students an opportunity to participate in a 1 Day Bike Ride. The ride will take place on
Wednesday 13th December, therefore will only involve the students who are still here. They will
ride approximately 25 kms or so. From now on, we encourage all Years 3/4 students to begin some
training a couple of times per week. They will need to discuss this with their mums and dads. Stay
tuned for more information. We will also be looking for parents to participate too!
EVERY DAY COUNTS Primary School Attendance
Going to school every day is the single most
important part of your child’s education. Students
learn new things at school every day – missing
school can put them behind.
***Anyone who needs their
base pass updated, please
contact the school office as
they can be done before the
end of the year.***

Defence School Transition Aide Message Back at school: I trust that everyone has had a smooth and
satisfactory beginning to the school year. Changing
schools, beginning school for the first time and even
returning for another school year can be daunting for
students and parents. It is great to see parents eager to
support their children at this time and be an integral part of
their education. If you have any concerns, or just feel like a
chat about school and your child, please find me!
SWAPP Select Program
I have information about the ADF partners career assistance
program if anyone is interested.
NEW UNIFORM
We have recently had a new shipment of uniform arrive that
includes shorts, tops, tracksuit pants and hats. Some parents
have been waiting on this to arrive.
Best wishes for the week.
Sue Ranger, Defence School Transition Aide

***We can all work together to rid the community of
Head Lice. Let’s check our heads once per week!***
‘Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of
progress, in every society, in every family.’
Quote by Kofi Annan
On Monday 4th December, at our normal Monday assembly we will conduct our famous
School Book Launch. All students are working on writing and illustrating their
very own books to be included in this special event. Each classroom will showcase one
student who will read a passage from their own book. To celebrate all students’
achievements, all books will be on display in the school foyer and corridor for the rest
of that week.
We are also very excited to have Rhonda Tallnash, a local author of children’s books,
coming to open our Book Launch at assembly. She will read some of her writing and
share some of her experiences as an author with us.
If you would like to find out more about Rhonda Tallnash and the books she has written
check out her website at www.rhondatallnash.com. Her books will also be on sale at
school throughout the Book Launch week.
We look forward to welcoming Rhonda to our assembly and we know she is looking
forward to reading some of the books that our students have written.
The students will bring their books home after the Book Launch week.
Please call into the school foyer to read your child’s and other children’s amazing books
during the week of the Book Launch!
Well done to Will Anderson who played keyboard at
assembly this week. We especially liked his 2 different
styles! Great effort, Will!

Each week in the newsletter, we will give families a summary of the Teaching/Learning Focus for the week.
That can help families by: being aware of what classrooms are covering; with discussion topics at the dinner table when
discussing school (eg. ‘How are you going with addition in Numeracy this week?’); helping their children study at home,
etc. Parents have indicated that this information is very useful. We also ask families to be aware that schools are very busy
places and events can be unpredictable at times. We therefore must remain flexible. That means that we can plan to cover
certain topics at particular times and have to change them according to arising needs.
Junior School – Preps/Foundation Rooms 6 & 8 Literacy: We are revising all vowels. We are writing sentences and using capital letters and full stops and continuing to
work on our book launch books.
Numeracy: We are revising ordinal numbers and 1-20. We continue to practise subtraction and doubles.
Junior School – Year 1s Rooms 3, 4 & 8 Literacy: .We are learning about poetry. We are revising all concepts learnt this year and continuing to work hard on our
book launch books.
Numeracy: We are solving simple multiplication and division questions using concrete materials. We are revising
fractions.
Junior School – Year 2s Rooms 3 & 4 Literacy: We are working on our book launch books and learning about poetry. We are revising all concepts learnt this
year.
Numeracy: We are learning about simple multiplication and division questions using concrete materials. We are
revising fractions. We are revising 2,3, and 4-digit numbers.
Middle School Years 3/4 Rooms 9 & 10 & 11 For Literacy and Numeracy, we will be revising concepts learnt so far this year. We will also be testing in preparation
for upcoming report writing.
Senior School Years 5/6 Rooms 1 & 2 For Literacy and Numeracy, we will be revising concepts learnt so far this year. We will also be testing in preparation
for upcoming report writing.
On Thursday 14th December, our Year 6 students will attend their graduation night - the Valedictory Dinner. All Year 6 students will need to arrive at the PC Centre by 6:00 p.m. to begin their night with a Dinner. All families are
asked to arrive at 7:30 p.m. for the Graduation Ceremony after dinner.
TIMELINE: 6.00pm Students are expected to arrive at PC Centre
6.30pm meal
7.30pm Parents arrive - presentations followed by dancing
Cost: The cost for the dinner is $25. Payment is due by Friday 24th November.
Please Note: All Year 6 students are to bring a 2 litre bottle
of soft drink for serving at dinner on the night. The bottle
needs to be at school by Friday 24th November as well.
Awards to be presented at the Valedictory Dinner:
- Year 6 Valedictorian - Student Bursaries
- Sporting Award - Academic Excellence Awards
- Striving for Excellence Award - Quiet Achiever Award
- Mitchell Shire Citizenship Award
- Lion’s Club Community Award
All students seem very excited about the big night. Good luck
to all Year 6 students. We hope they all enjoy the occasion.
DRESS: We remind families that it is a
primary school function and that school council
expects that we keep the dress code ‘neat and
casual’. We do not want students away from
school attending hair dressers, or having formal
dress/suit fittings. We also need to remind
students that our school policy of not wearing
make-up to school and school functions still
applies.

‘Striving for Excellence’
Open since 1887
On Thursday 7th December, we are having Student-Led Conferences. The day will be a normal
school day where students arrive at 9:00 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. The conferences will
begin from 2:30 p.m. and finish at approximately 5:30 p.m. After lunch, all students will be
participating in sporting activities/whole school film (depending on the weather) with our specialist
teachers who do not teach grades.
A conference is the sharing of information as part of the reporting process. Student-Led Conferences
are an excellent means of involving parents, students and teachers as partners in reflecting on the
student’s progress. The students are responsible for leading the conference, and also taking
responsibility for their learning by sharing the process with their parents. It may involve students
demonstrating their understanding through a variety of different learning situations. There will be
multiple conferences running at the same time in each classroom.
Please select a preferred time slot below and return the Student-Led Conference Form to school by
Wednesday 29th November so we can try to accommodate your availability as best as possible.
