The end of year assembly will be held on Thursday the 24th September during periods 4 and 5. There will be an assembly followed by an open classroom, meet the teachers and a BBQ. Please do not start taking things down in your room until the Friday of week 10 or the beginning of next term. I strongly encourage you to use this meeting to show parent their student’s evidence files. The following positions will be advertised over the next few weeks. -school officer [Panel Jeanette, Robin and Jamie] -School based attendance officer [Panel Jamie, Chrissie and Robbie Baylis] I encourage all staff to apply or recommend someone in the community to apply. The application package needs to be read very closely. It is not set by the school and will be on line at [|www.jobs.gov.au] with the package. Jeanette and Victor are in the process of arranging an excursion to ELQuestro next week the 27th of August. This is a High School excursion, mainly check with Victor about who is attending. Please prepare for the fact their will only be a few students remaining in the HS on that Thursday. Staff attending Victor, Danni, Shirley, Christopher and Cathy. Jeanette is organising a primary School excursion to Parry’s Creek for next Wednesday the 26th of August. Please see her if you believe some of your students have reached 25 and not attended a rewards day yet. Staff attending will be Victor, Erin, Danni and Jeanette. **__Pre-Kindy Students__** The pre-K’s started Kindy today. They are attending 2 full days a week Monday and Fridays. Any more information please talk with Jeanette or Grace. We have enrolled just under 20 new students these past weeks. They have fitted into the school beautifully and all staff should be congratulated for the efforts at making them feel welcomed at our school. All reports are due to Jamie and Jeanette on Friday the 27th of November. The reports will be locked as of 5pm that day. All teaching staff need to start preparing their comments and looking at where the students are in regards to the ABC marking scale. The DET will continue to put examples up to assist students throughout the year. I highly recommend you use the Progress maps as a guide and syllabus documents as to what your students can do and how they compare to other students in the same grade across the state. I will be coming into classrooms to view evidence files during week 8. Please have them ready and well organised. I will just ask where they are and sit down and view them. See Jeanette or Jamie before my visit for any questions or concerns. Book week 2009 Book Safari Books are on display from Monday 17th and are for sale from Monday 24th August to the Friday 28th August. Victor, Jeanette and Pricilla have kindly offered to help get parents and people from the community to come and read to the student. They have been given the letters that are usually sent out and are going to distribute them. There are regular readers who come each year but it would be great to get others to come and read. There is a book cover competition run by Erin and the entrants will be on display in the library as soon as they are finished. Janie has also got her class to do a colouring competition. Thursday 27th a visiting author/ illustrator Sandra Kendall is coming to the school. She will be reading to Janie’s class form 11.15 to 11.45 in the library. Stuarts class from 11.45 to 12.45 in the art room. David’s class in the library at 1.20 to 1.50 and Sam and Tania’s at 1.50 to 2.20 in the library. This is up on the board in the staff room for everyone to see. Friday 28th is the last day for book week. A morning tea is always held at 10 am. This is the day where everyone dresses up and there are prizes for the winners from each class. The more books that are sold, the more commission the school makes, so it is great to make it a well visited event. Soma, Ota, Kua signs. I have lots of hints around the library as to what it means. I thought I would give a prize to the student/teacher/anyone who may actually see it and read it and come to me with what it means. Just a thought
