Term 2 Week 10 Tuesday 2nd July 2019.

NAIDOC week Celebrations – VOICE TREATY TRUTH Wednesday 3

rd

Assembly Time – 10:20am seated Sausage Sizzle – Free at lunch time NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture, traditions and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Tomorrow, the whole school will be celebrating NAIDOC DAY and learning about this year’s theme: Voice Treaty Truth. On Monday morning, our local elder, Uncle Vic performed a traditional Aboriginal Smoking ceremony at the school gates, which involved burning native plants to cleanse the air and to ward off evil spirits. Tomorrow there is a free BBQ for all school children, teachers and helpers. If you do not wish for your child to have a sausage sandwich, please send them with their own lunch. Children will need to bring their own recess as usual. If you are able to come and help serve the students at lunchtime, please drop by from 12:20pm at the canteen. We would appreciate your help. The canteen will still be open for snacks and drinks at recess and lunch.

War on Waste: WOW! This week's fabulous Warriors are: Staffroom: Grace, Olivia, Luca, Mia Compost: Suvi, April, Bella, Jennifer Return and Earn: Eve, Danika, Jaya, Jamie-Leigh Soft Plastic: Rosie, Charlie, Lillian, Zara

K-2 Frolic ‘Disco Fever’ The Frolic is a fun night held for K-2 students where they perform dances for their parents that they have learnt throughout the year. It will be held at the Ulladulla High School Hall on Wednesday the 7th of August. Students are asked to wear disco themed clothes for the night. More information about the Frolic will be released early in Term 3.

Athletics Carnival The sunshine came, the oval was immaculate, the students looked fantastic in their team colours and the starting gun sounded. Students battled with long distances in the 1500m and the 800m early. Nearly all students went in their age races and the Egg and Spoon Race was a team success. The grunt and pull of the Tug-of-War was a fascinating and competitive battle. The finals were a demonstration of speed and style. The teachers were supported with a giant coffee run from Brown Sugar and the day finished with big smiles and a winning house! But who was the winning house? Thank you to all of the teachers and Wade for setting up a wonderful day at Milton PS.

From the Principal As term 2 comes to a close I’d like to thank our wonderful Milton School community, our great kids and talented staff for all the individual and team efforts to ensure the term was engaging, creative, academic and generally jam-packed with learning. The learning environment at Milton PS is certainly exciting with so many opportunities for students to grow and develop as individuals. It is only through supportive parents and amazing staff that we can offer such a broad curriculum – Thank you.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019). Information provided about students to the Australian Government for the NCCD includes: year of schooling category of disability: physical, cognitive, sensory or

social/emotional level of adjustment provided: support provided within

quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary, substantial or extensive.

This information assists schools to: formally recognise the supports and adjustments

provided to students with disability in schools consider how they can strengthen the support of

students with disability in schools develop shared practices so that they can review their

learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the information they need to plan more broadly for the support of students with disability. The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. To find out more about these matters, please refer to the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy (https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy). Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au). If you have any questions about the NCCD, please contact the school.

Year 2 Excursion to Tabourie Last week, the Year 2 students and teachers, dressed in old fashioned attire, from head to toe (looking stunning might I add), hopped into their horse and carts and travelled back in time down the bumpy dirt road to Lake Tabourie Museum. The students were totally amazed at the 'technology' of yesterday like phones with cords and gramophones for music! The students played old style games with balls and skipping ropes before returning to 2019. Whispers say that everyone slept well that night!

Weekly tip: sports performance Our weekly tip aims to inspire and equip dads with kids in sport. This week, we're reflecting on what really matters in sport. Understand and remind yourself

why kids play sport – for mateship, fun, socialisation, challenge, competition and achievement.

Teach the value of team, community, healthy competition and fair play.

Ask yourself, is your child playing for you, or for their own enjoyment? If they're playing 'for you', think about if this is what you want - and consider allowing more freedom to choose their activities.

Take off the pressure to achieve – and encourage simply 'doing your best'.

Get involved in the team but know your place and avoid overstepping your role.

Balance sports with other activities like play, learning, outdoors activities and conversations.
