Clear specific praise is the most powerful means of behaviour management. In the whole school context, programs such as the WOW awards, Assembly Award Winners and student leadership opportunities reinforce the behaviours that we want to see at Telarah School. In the playground, teachers notice students who play well, treat others with kindness and participate as a good sport. In the home situation, continually speaking positively to your children about how they do the little things around the house , will make a huge difference to overall behaviour. “I like the way you took your bowl up to the sink”, or “I like the way you helped your brother”, are comments which can have a huge impact on a child’s ability to take responsibility for their actions. We all want our children to be the very best they can be. Speaking positively is one way we can help them to achieve this.

Congratulation to our Futsal team who will be competing at the State Knock Out on Thursday. The very best of luck is extended to the team and a huge thank you goes to Mr Willcocks and our fantastic, supportive parents. Play well.
TELARAH CONNECTS WITH THE WORLD
This week, a technician from the Department of Education will be visiting Telarah to plan the installation of our connected classroom. The connected classroom is made up of a video conference set up, a new interactive whiteboard and a high speed fibre optic link with the server. A fabulous resource which will allow virtual excursions and video link ups with other classrooms.
PASSING OF ROBYN KILKELLY
It is with much sadness that the passing of Robyn Kilkelly is rec-ognized by Telarah School. Mrs Kilkelly was associated with the school for many years. Her funeral will be held at St Luke’s on Thursday 29th July at 10:30 am.
The Power of Speaking Positively The most powerful way to change a child’s behaviour is to reward and reinforce what we want to see, and ignore what we don’t want to see. In the classroom, this can be seen by teachers continually noticing students who do the right thing such as sitting quietly, getting on with their work or treating others with respect. Clear specific praise is the most powerful means of behaviour management. In the whole school context, programs such as the WOW awards, Assembly Award Winners and student leadership opportunities reinforce the behaviours that we want to see at Telarah School.

We all want our children to be the very best they can be. Speaking positively is one way we can help them to achieve this.

This term “Zeeko”, a trio of highly talented musicians will come. Their music theme is “Exploring the Natural Environment”, including pieces such as “Last Wave of the Golden Frog” and “The Butterfly Effect”.
You are welcome to come to the performance for free. There is no charge for p a r e n t s , g u a r d i a n s a n d community members.
