Principal’s Message Kinder Social Story

Mrs Wood, our Learning and Support Teacher has created a social story to

help our 2019 Kinders transition into primary school. The file has been

uploaded to a share drive so parents can access it from home and talk about

the story with their child. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oykTd504ltR9dbP9gxFaZrd0l5OdB9Hp/view?

Parent helpers at disco

A big thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to help out with the

Term 4 disco. Students had a great time on the night and thoroughly enjoyed

dancing and eating the food provided by the P&C. Students on buses

At times students travelling on buses are not tapping on and off with their

Opal cards. It is very important that students do this each trip so the bus

company has accurate data on how many students are using the buses to

travel to and from school. We would appreciate it if parents could also

remind their children to use their Opal card every time they use the bus. Bring Your Own Device

Teachers continue to engage in professional learning regarding integrating

technology into the curriculum and it will continue to be a focus in 2019. This

week at our staff meeting, all staff indicated that they would be including

BYOD in their teaching and learning programs in 2019. This means that all

students will have the opportunity to bring an iPad from home to support

their learning. More information on exactly which days for each class will be

given to parents early next year. Students who do not bring their own device

will have access to school iPads. Reports

Semester 2 reports will be sent home with students tomorrow so it is

important for parents to ask their child for the report when they see them

after school. Copies for families that require two copies will be sent home

early next week. P&C

Many thanks to the P&C who, after last night’s meeting, have undertaken to

fund six IWBs for classrooms, airplay for classrooms, air conditioning

maintenance and a donation to the Year 6 Farewell.

Looking for Christmas present ideas?

Kristi Gomm, one of our parents has

written and illustrated a children’s

book that would be a great Christmas

gift for children aged 2-8 years.

It is a rhyming book about a

GIGANTIC pair of underpants and

discovering the many funny places

that underpants don’t belong.

A humorous story that will have your

little one in fits of laughter trying to

solve the mystery of who owns this

gigantic pair and how they became so

gigantic.

Some of the students, Georgia 6P,

Alana 6P and Jemima 4G have had a

few of their illustrations included in

the book.

copy at $19.95 please fill out

the order form below and

lunch and games afternoon. We will be seeing a latest release movie “The Grinch”.

The movie is rated PG and tells the story of the Grinch and his loyal dog, Max, who live a solitary existence

inside a cave on Mount Crumpet. His main source of aggravation comes during Christmas time when his

neighbours in Whoville celebrate the holidays with a bang. When the Whos decide to make Christmas bigger

and brighter, the disgruntled Grinch realises there is one way to gain peace and quiet. With help from Max,

the green grump hatches a scheme to pose as Santa Claus, steal Christmas and silence the Whos’ holiday cheer

once and for all.

Date: Tuesday 18 December 2018

Time: Students to meet Stage 3 teachers under the Cola at 8.45am. Buses will depart school at

9.00am and leave the cinema at approximately 12.45pm.

What to wear: Sports uniform, hat, sunscreen

What to bring: For the picnic lunch and games afternoon - all food – your lunch plus something to share if

you wish to, drink (no soft drink in cans or bottles), hat, sunscreen, something to sit on, a

football, tennis ball, cards etc to play with.

Cost: $25.00 which covers movie, ice cream or ice block and bus hire.

Supervision: Students will be supervised by Stage 3 teachers; Mrs Alexander, Miss Hall, Mrs Grimison,

Miss Scotti and Miss Power.

The cost of the day will be $25.00 and travel will be by bus to the cinema and then the students will be

returning to school. Please complete the permission slip included and return via the school money collection box

by 3.30pm Tuesday 11 December 2018 or online by 6.00pm Monday 10 December 2018. This is a final

2019 SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Students going into Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (in 2019) only, and those going into Year 2 (in 2019) and turning 8 years of age during 2019 who can swim 50 metres unassisted.

On Friday 15 February 2019, our school swimming carnival will be held at Engadine Swimming Pool.

Students will need to be at school by 8.30am to ensure their names are marked off class rolls before boarding

buses. The total cost for bus and entry into the pool will be $14.00.

Students must apply a minimum 30+ broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen to exposed skin before coming

to school and reapply it during the day as directed by the manufacturer. Students also need to bring a hat, T-

shirt, something to sit on, their lunch and a drink. Plenty of water is essential, particularly if the day is hot.

They may also like to bring a book or quiet games such as cards to play with. Please note electronic devices

such as Game Boys, iPods and mobile phones are not to be brought to the carnival. Parents are most welcome

to attend as spectators, paying an entry fee, but should enter the pool either before or after the arrival of

our students.

Please ensure asthmatic students bring sufficient medication for the day. Students are expected to sit in

their allocated house areas not with their parents. The canteen will be available for the purchase of items and

we have hired the small pool to allow children to participate in novelty events.

STUDENTS MAY WEAR THEIR HOUSE SHIRT OR SPORTS UNIFORM TO AND FROM THE POOL. House colours are:

Sapphire Blue Ruby Red Emerald Green Diamond White

Please do not bring crepe paper or streamers to the pool as the dye comes out and pool management does

not allow them to be used.

Please note that due to time restraints imposed on us by the bus company and to be in line with the way Zone

and Area Carnivals are conducted, the Swimming Carnival will have timed finals in the following events:

Boy/Girl 100m Freestyle

Boy/Girl Breaststroke

Boy/Girl Backstroke

Boy/Girl Butterfly

Boy/Girl 200m Medley

Students competing in the medley events must submit times before Monday 4 February 2019 to the school

office. The seven fastest competitors will swim in this event.

Please complete the swimming competency survey. It is imperative that your child’s swimming ability is

accurately conveyed to us. All students will need to wear coloured bands to help identify them whilst

they are in the water.
