RESPECT: LEARN IT, EARN IT, SHOW IT.
Dear Parents, The year is drawing to a close and the days are flying by. What a fantastic week last week, with the presentation assemblies and year 6 farewell. The year 6 students certainly have grown and matured this year. They all looked fabulous on their special night. I’m sure that sharing the evening with parents and family members as well, as many staff members, made many wonderful memories for everyone. Congratulations year 6 and I wish you every success as you venture into high school. To school captains for 2017: Malik Elabbasi, Kalani Henwood and vice captains, Gus Gilbert and Solomon Read, congratulations on your election. I know that you will be wonderful ambassadors for our school. To the school leaders; Dolores Johnson, Buddy Hippi, Sienna Gilbert, Sean Sowell, Alani Berry, Bridgett Paul, what a fantastic team you will be. Congratulations on your elections also. Next year is shaping up to be just as busy as this year. Teachers return to school on January 27th, 2017, for our staff development day. We will be investigating Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) and what this approach can offer Yamba Public School. To start us off on this path, there will be a short parent workshop held on the staff development day: 27/1/17 from 12 - 12.45.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
YPS UNIFORM POP-UP SHOP
We will be opening our “end of
year” uniform shop on Friday the
16th of December from 9 till 10am
near the staffroom. If anyone has
any uniforms to donate for the stall
we would greatly appreciate them
being sent in asap. And for those
looking for uniforms for next year
make sure you don’t miss this sale.
These items are no longer
available from the canteen:-
Lasagne
Noodles
Triangle Icy’s
Some flavours of chips
Jo Stewart (PBL Head Teacher) will be
working with staff and spend time with
interested parents and carers around
developing the expectations and
explaining what PBL is.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is
linked to developing a culture in the
school which supports student
Wellbeing. Whilst schools strive for
excellence in teaching and learning, the
development of personal skills and
building respectful relationships also
enables success across the school. PBL
focuses on creating positive learning
environments with high expectations
for not only academic results but for
social and behavioural results. It is not
a program which addresses only
naughty students; it is about building a
common vision for everyone in the
school, using consistent language which
is based on high expectations. There is
a well-established link between student
behaviour and academic achievement. It
is that link which drives the need to
develop the ‘whole child’ through
ensuring a balance of skill building
based on both the academic and social
capacity of the students.
In its initial stages of PBL, we will start
with the end in mind, ie how do we wish
Yamba PS students to be viewed as
they make their way into the world and
what skills will they need in order to
make their way into the world beyond
Yamba PS? The staff, students and
parents/carers will be consulted about
what they value at Yamba Public School
and, through the creation of 3-5
expectations, the school will then spend
time, planning and then actively teach-
ing and acknowledging positive behav-
iours. Through creating a consistent
environment with the same
expectations for ‘everyone,
everywhere, every time’, Yamba PS will
be able to enable academically and
socially successful students.
Each Yamba Public School student from Yr1 - Yr6 will need a ‘Book Pack’ for 2017.
These packs are specific to the child’s scholastic year and can be purchased two ways.
You can buy the packs at the Yamba Newsagency (opposite the Post Office)
or
On line through Kookaburra Stationary Supplies. See the online ordering details below.
Kindergarten packs will be supplied through the school and charged to the parent.
