Last day of term 3
Dear Parents and Carers
What a wonderful day we had
yesterday; perfect weather, a
large crowd of supporting family
members and our students
having a go. I thoroughly enjoyed
watching all the events and
talking with as many folk as I
could, given I was holed up
behind the microphone most of
the day. Thanks to everyone
concerned, especial ly Mr
Tompkins who carries the
organisational load each year.
We have another spate of head
lice and I have sent notes home to
each family. Please check your
children's’ hair thoroughly and
make sure you get rid of the eggs.
One of the staff members had
head lice a couple of weeks ago, so
we all need to be vigilant.
Parking in Rhine Way is a
problem and will probably always
be a problem. The land beyond
the security fence belongs to the
Mundaring Shire. It is illegal to
park on the verge of houses
opposite the marked bays. That
is the law and I cannot change it.
I am sorry that some parents
were given cautions after the
athletics carnival. I spoke with a
Shire officer and she said parents
were not fined, they were
cautioned.
Cheers
Marg

All these winners were presented
with their prizes at the School
Assembly on 12th September.
Well done everyone.
What a treat we had on Wednesday 5th September. Approximately
150 students were entertained by
Year 9 Drama students from Swan
View Senior High School. Creative
performances of four books FLOOD, LOOK! A BOOK, A BUS CALLED
HEAVEN and NO BEARS were acted out for us, with some of our own
ex-students shining as actors.
I have included some comments made by the audience. Comments: I
liked “Look a Book!” because it was very funny. I have never seen a
better play in all of my life. Jazzie (B1). I liked “No Bears” because
the girl was telling her story and she kept on saying “There are no
bears in my story”, but there was a bear all along. Favour Iloh (B1).
The most effective play was “No Bears”. It had the most expression in
it. Bree Hancock (A1). The most creative play was about the book “Look a Book!” how you had the
story being read to us as the story was happening. Very creative! Vanessa Sunjich (A1).

stationery, excursions and uniforms. Ultimately,
the Smith Family aims for all students to have a
minimum 90% attendance rate, which
demonstrates a commitment to schooling.

Helping your child with maths
Making maths fun Dice games: Use two dice to help your child add together small numbers quickly.
Numberplate search: Look for a numberplate that has a 1 in it somewhere. Then find a plate with a 2 in it; then 3 and so on. Make it more fun for older children by asking them to add two numbers on the plate together to get numbers greater than 9; or add all the numbers together; or take the smallest one away from the biggest one.
Mystery number; think of a number. Ask your child to guess what it is as
you give clues. Perhaps say my number is more than 10 but less than 19. It’s an even number. Sometimes it’s called a dozen.
Did you know?
GENERATION ONE:
We have entered a nation wide competition titled Generation One. We are required to submit a video
clip of our students singing ‘Hands Across Australia’ with a few bars of Swan View Rap in the middle
of the song. The music provides a back drop for a series of photographs taken of the many special
programs occurring around the school and across the year levels. It was very exciting for the
students to visit a recording studio recently so that our excellent coral work is picked up through
quality technology. Thank you Mr Schoenmakers

B1 News
All B1 students entered a Fathers’ Day colouring competition run by “Real Estate Plus”. Mrs Nind
took all the entries to the Midland branch. Much to the delight of all, three winners were selected
from her class. These winners were; Kael Orr, Jaymes Ford and Arlyn Grant. Each winner received
prizes of a $50.00 gift voucher from Slater-Gartrell Sports for themselves, plus a $50.00 gift card
from Bunnings to give to their Dad on Father’s Day. In addition, all children who entered the
competition received a laminated
certificate of appreciation for
participating, the return of their
coloured entry which had also been
laminated, and a personal “Thank You”
letter from Mr Milton Rendell,
Principal of Real Estate Plus Midland.
Congratulations B1 students for
showing community spirit!!
Children learn to read simple numbers (0 to 9) before they can read words because each number stands for a whole word.
