Our new Kindergarten students settled into ‘Big’ school beautifully last week. I would like to

thank all parents of our new students for their sensible and supportive approach to their

children starting at Forestville. The teachers are thrilled with their classes and will

communicate their programs and plans for 2019 tonight at the Kindergarten Parent

information evenings.

All other grades have their parent information evening dates and times listed above.

Parent representatives

As part of our plan to promote good communication across all classes we are asking for 2

parent volunteers for each class. These volunteers will liaise with the classroom teacher and

communicate information to other parents and work in conjunction with the P&C to promote

fundraising and the delivery of improvements in the school. As a shared role the workload

will be lessened and responsibilities divided. We truly appreciate parents taking this role on

board and it’s a great way to get to know the other parents and the students. Teachers will

ask for parent volunteers and also collect parents’ emails to add to the communication lists

during the parent information sessions. There are just two P&C meetings every term which

can be shared also. Your attendance at these would be greatly appreciated as then you will

be able to represent your class’s perspective and provide valued feedback. It will make

Forestville an even more community focused school.

YEAR 7 IN 2020

An expression of Interest form will be sent home today with all Year 6 students for

placement in Year 7, 2020 in NSW Government schools. Please complete the form and return

to the school no later than Monday 18 March, 2019. All information relating to the

expression of interest is on the form. If you have any questions or concerns please see Katy

Costa (Stage 3 AP).

Congratulation on your great leadership at the swimming carnival!

Swimming Carnival

Last Tuesday our school swimming carnival ran like clockwork thanks to the great teamwork

of teachers and parents. With so many participants, it’s always a challenge to complete our

scheduled races, but we did so and managed a student/parent &teacher noodle race at the

end. Thanks to our many parent volunteers who timed the races and to our lifeguards, Sam,

Renee and James, and to Chris Williamson and his fabulous team for all of their strategic

planning and organisation.

It was the first time our new 2019 House Captains took responsibility in their new roles, and

did a great job. I was incredibly proud of students’ SAGE attitudes, participating with such

enthusiasm and energy while also congratulating and supporting each other. It’s evidence of

a true Growth Mindset and the ‘Encouraging Others’ part of our SAGE program in play.

Forestville’s SAGE motto

Students Aim High

Give it a Go

Encourage Others

Growth Mindset Parenting

Parenting can be really hard work. Having a growth mindset helps.

Research by Carol Dweck and her team from Stanford University, shows that parents can have

a powerful impact on their children’s mindsets. The language you use and the actions you

take show your children what you expect. Giving process praise, talking about the brain,

accepting mistakes as learning opportunities, and understanding the role of emotions in

learning are all practices you can begin today.

The way we praise our children can have a profound impact on their mindset. Research on

praise and mindsets shows that when we praise children for being smart, it promotes a fixed

mindset. It sends a message that their accomplishments are trait-based, and tied to

something innate. In contrast, praising kids for working hard promotes a growth mindset. It

sends a message that the child’s effort is what led them to success. Want more tips on what to

say, and what not to say, when praising your kids?

Many thanks for your support.

welcome to use any plastic bag that you have. Please drop off any bags to the office.

Date of collection for pickup is: 4 March, 2019

SKOOLBAG APP

HEADLICE

Please be aware we have had multiple reported cases of headlice in the school. Please check

your child regularly and treat if necessary.

Hello and thank you to the Forestville Public School community for the warm welcome. I am

excited to be here and look forward to meeting everyone. To assist students and their

parents/carers make a smooth transition to 2019, please find some notes below on how the

library operates.

Opening hours

Forestville Public School Library is open from Monday to Friday. In addition to class

borrowing time, your child may also borrow at second half lunch every day.

Borrowing terms

Early Stage 1 = Maximum of 2 books at any time for a loan period of 2 weeks (1 renewal)

Stage 1 = Maximum of 3 books at any time for a loan period of 2 weeks (1 renewal)

Stage 2 = Maximum of 4 books at any time for a loan period of 2 week (1 renewal)

Stage 3 = Maximum of 5 books at any time for a loan period of 2 weeks (1 renewal)

Reservations

Books can be placed on reserve for a maximum of one week. This is to ensure equitable

access to resources.

Overdue items

A notice will be issued for overdue items once the overdue period exceeds 1 week. Should

the overdue books not be returned within 3 weeks of the issuing of the overdue notice,

these items will be considered ‘lost’ and a request for payment will be issued.

Items returned but still on the account

If an item has been returned but is still recorded on your child’s account, please notify

Forestville Public School Library as soon as possible. Please include details such as where

and when the items were returned to help with locating the items.

Lost/damaged books

As library books are a shared resource, any lost or damaged books must be paid for so

that they may be replaced. A new replacement copy is accepted in lieu of payment. To

prevent damage, please ensure your child has a library bag and that they bring it to

borrow.

Super fish show off their stuff in the pool!

Congratulations to everyone who took part in our swimming carnival last Tuesday. Some

of our students looked like they are ready for Tokyo next year, others weren’t quite as

efficient, but that did not detract from the width of their smiles upon finishing.

Our students were led by an enthusiastic group of sports captains who not only

encouraged thunderous cheering but also helped organise relay teams and ensured that

we left the Aquatic Centre in a clean condition. A huge thanks to the many parent

volunteers (especially our lifesavers!) who certainly put in a full day.

Well done to Sturt for being the winning house on the day.

The results can be accessed through the link below and

please contact Mr. Williamson through the school email if

you have any queries.

The top three finishers in 50m Freestyle and top two in all

other events have progressed to the Zone Carnival which

will be held on 4th March. So please, keep up your training!

Permission notes for Zone will be handed to students this

week. Congratulations to all students, parents and helpers

on an excellent day.

On Friday 1st, 8th and 15th February (9:00am-11:00am) , all students in Years 3-6 will be

involved in either School Sport or PSSA trials. If your child wishes to try out for a

competition PSSA team they should return the permission note to the office.

The PSSA teams for Term 1/2 and the teachers in charge are:

•Junior Boys Cricket (Years 4 and 5)- Mr Ellis

•Senior Boys Cricket (Years 5 and 6)- Mr Ellis

•Junior Girls A and B T-ball (Years 4 and 5)- Miss Amery

•Senior Girls A and B Softball (Years 5 and 6)- Miss Clisby

•Senior Boys (Yrs 5-6) and Junior A (Yrs 3-4) Mixed Eagle Tag- Mr Williamson

•Junior B & C Mixed Eagle Tag (Yrs 3- 4)- Miss Ingram

Because of constraints on venues and resources only a limited number of students will be

selected for teams. Whilst we encourage all students to trial, they should be aware that

not every student will make a team.

Please contact Mr Ellis if you have any questions.

PSSA Trials

There will be trials for Stage 3 students for the Paul Kelly Cup teams this week.

Girls trial: Thursday lunch time on the oval

Boys trial: Friday lunchtime on the oval

Anne Mackenzie, James Ellis

Paul Kelly Cup Trials

Throughout the year there will be various regional sport trials in which every school in

the region is given the opportunity to send a limited number of students to trial. To

assist in identifying the students who may be given the permission notes about each trial

we need information on any sports FPS students may have had extensive competitive

experience in. Last week these permission notes were given out to those students in

Years 5 and 6, however if there are any Year 3 or 4 students who think they should be

considered for Primary Zone Sport Trials please contact Mr. Ellis.

The sports available to trial in are: basketball, tennis, AFL, soccer, rugby league, hockey,

rugby union, netball, golf, touch football, softball, cricket and water polo. Please do not

indicate your interest unless your child has experience at quite a high level in their

particular sport.

If your child is interested in basketball, field hockey or rugby league, please email Mr. Ellis

through the school email as those trials are coming up very shortly.

2019 Warringah Zone Sport Trials

It was wonderful to see so many students audition for both dance groups. Everyone did an

outstanding job and can be very proud of their effort.

Forestville is very lucky to have so many wonderful, talented dancers.

Unfortunately the rules for the Sydney North Dance Festival only allow us to choose 24

students per group - so many students will miss out.

If you do not make it in this year then PLEASE try again next year. Preference is given to the

older year in each group.

A list for each group will be put up in the hall on Tuesday at lunchtime so please check to

see if your name is on the list.

Rehearsals for both groups will start this week:

Thursday Lunch: Yr3/4 Group

Friday Lunch: Yr5/6 Group.

If you are chosen for the Dance Groups then you need to be able to come to the following

rehearsals every week:

Tuesday lunch : Yr5/6 Group

Thursday Lunch: Yr3/4 Group

Friday Lunch: Yr5/6 Group or Yr3/4 Group

Each student will also need to be available in the LAST 2 weeks of Term 2 as this is when we

will be performing at Glen Street Theatre.

Thank you

Student Banking

Get involved in the School Banking program.

Forestville Public School is excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking

program to all students.

School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way for young Australians to learn

about money and develop good savings habits. Children who deposit money into their

Youthsaver account through School Banking earn Dollarmites tokens, which they can

save up and redeem for exciting rewards.

The rewards available during 2019 are:

Scented Stackable Highlighters

Snowy Origami Set

Icicle Slapband Ruler

Yeti Fluffly Notepad

Arctic Owl Fluffy Keyring

Scratch Art Cards

Water Skimming Bounce Ball

Polar Pencils & Pencil Toppers

School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. Our school receives a Regular

Savers Contribution of $5 for every 10 deposits processed per student as well as an

Annual Contribution which is based on the number of students who made at least one

School Banking deposit in the prior year.

Getting involved in School Banking is easy!

All you need to get involved in the School Banking program is a Commonwealth Bank

Youthsaver account. You can open an account for your child in one of two ways:

1. Online

Visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking and click on the link to open a Youthsaver

account.

2. In branch

Visit a Commonwealth Bank branch with identification for yourself and your child, like a

driver’s licence and birth certificate.

If your child has an existing Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account they can start

banking straight away. They just need to bring their deposit in every week on School

Banking day using their Dollarmites deposit wallet.

Thank You to the following parents who volunteered to be Parent Representatives

for each group on the Strings Committee.

Any students who would like to play chess against other students should come to 4E in the

second half of lunch on Mondays, starting next Monday, 11 February. Those students who

do not know how to play will be instructed by Mr. Ellis so that they learn the rules and

basic strategy. Those students looking for professional chess instruction should take part

in the Chess Instructional Lessons on Monday mornings. The registration form for these

can be downloaded from our website. Please contact Mr. Ellis if you have any questions

about either of these programs. In exciting news, one of our former students who is now in

Year 8, James Spencer, recently won the Australian U14 Chess Championships! He started

his chess here at FPS!! If anyone wants to see his winning game follow this link:

mornings in Mr. Ellis’ classroom (4E) from 8:00am to 8:55am starting on Monday 11

February and finish on Monday 8 April. This is on top of our regular chess club that is

offered Mondays at lunch. Chess is a valuable activity for children, developing their logical

thinking skills, concentration and discipline, as well as being a source of much enjoyment!

This is a great way to combine learning and fun! The classes will begin with an interactive

lecture by an experienced coach. During the second half of the class children will play

games against each other, putting newly learned strategies into practice. Registration notes

can be downloaded from our school website or ask at the school office. Notes must be
