Colonel Light Gardens Primary School

NEWSLETTER WINDSOR AVENUE, COLONEL LIGHT GARDENS, SA. 5041 P: (08) 8276 1523 F: (08) 8374 1038

Can you believe it is already Week 5? It is strange that in one way it has gone so quickly but on the other hand it feels like

I have been a part of CLG for much longer. This is due to the warm welcome I have received from staff, students and

parents from day one. Already I feel very proud and fortunate to be part of this school community and to have the

opportunity to work with such dedicated and skilled staff.

Although originally from country Western Victoria, I come to Colonel Light Gardens PS via the Murraylands and most

recently have held leadership positions in both East Murray Area School and Karoonda Area School with my most recent

roles being Deputy and Student Inclusion Leader. In both contexts I thrived on being

a part of the wider school community and developing really positive working

relationships.

A passion of mine is leading student support and ensuring targeted and

specific learning for individual students as well as liaising with outside

providers and our regional office support staff. As some of you may be

aware, CLG is undergoing some exciting changes for student support and I

am looking forward to implementing these in 2019. My focus will be on a

holistic approach to supporting students to achieve their learning goals.

This will ultimately result in transparent and targeted learning in order

to achieve more specific goals. We are also in the process of

transitioning to the online version of NEPs, which are called One

Plans, which classroom teachers will be responsible for.

Term 1 has therefore been very busy academically but it has

also been about staff getting to know their students and

developing relationships. This has also been a major

focus of mine as I settle in to the new school environment

at CLG. I look forward to meeting more parents and

community members so please do not hesitate in

introducing yourself or contacting me at school.

Dear Parents, carers, students and community friends,

GOVERNING COUNCIL Thank you to all the parents and staff who attended the Annual General Meeting held last Monday February 25th. At that meeting reports were given highlighting the achievements, progress and challenges of our wonderful school. The 2019 Governing Council was constituted. It is very pleasing to have 5 new members nominate for a 2 year term. In the end, we had more nominations than we had positions available, as the constitution allows for a maximum of 12 parent members.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the 2018 Governing Council who are not continuing on due to work or family commitments or they no longer have children at CLG.

After the AGM the first Governing Council meeting for 2019 was held and office bearers were elected. For your information, below is a list of the 2019 Governing Council with status and tenure indicated.

EMAIL ADDRESSES Below is a list of email addresses in alphabetical order for all teachers, leaders, administration, support and canteen staff. These addresses are only for school related matters and should be used as a communication tool on a needs basis. During the work week and during term time, staff check their emails on a daily basis on the days they work and will respond with at least an acknowledgement within 2 school days. Teaching staff do not check their emails during their face to face teaching time.

Although checked daily, not all staff check their emails before school so please do not send absence or urgent information to the class teacher. This information needs to go through the front office to dl.0723.info@schools.sa.edu.au

Email addresses cannot be used for commercial purposes and will not be used to replace the school reporting procedures. All correspondence needs to be respectful. Using the Communication book for the younger students and student diaries for older students is still a good option.

PE BLOG ( http://peclg.edublogs.org/ )… Remember updates are posted on the PE Blog.

Kim Boothey PE Teacher

P.E. TERM 1 This year I will be sharing the P.E. teaching role with Natasha Jachmann. I will be teaching classes from Monday to

Thursday and Natasha will teach P.E. on Fridays. My role this year has changed to include coordination of the SAPSASA

portfolio as well as managing the After Hours Sport Program. The focus in PE will continue to develop fundamental

movement skills of your child as well as skill acquisition, team building and fair play.

Please remember there is an expectation for your child to always bring their hat and drink bottle to any PE or sport related

activities and to wear appropriate footwear.

AFTER HOURS SPORT PROGRAM

It has been a very hectic but a rewarding time for me as Manager of the After Hours Schools Sport program. We have

teams participating in the Summer Sports of basketball, cricket and softball this term. A big thank you goes out to

Jennifer Tirrell (basketball), Steven Ashley (softball) and Timothy Fletcher (cricket) who are coordinating these sports

and to the numerous coaches and team managers that make this program work so well.

BASKETBALL UPDATE: I have asked Jan Marie Shaw, whose role has also change to assist the coordination of the

AHS program, to call up each team to find out who has a top and who is still in need of one. As you can appreciate I am

accountable for all equipment including tops. In an effort to retrieve the outstanding quantity of missing basketball tops

and to track their whereabouts in the future we have begun an audit. Please, if you do have one at home from previous

years and your child is not a registered player for the current season, return it asap. If your child/ren is/are registered for

the current season and using a top that was issued in a previous year, please notify by email either Jan Marie at

janmarie.shaw411@schools.sa.edu.au or myself at kim.boothey118@schools.sa.edu.au or phone the front office and

leave the students name and the number that is printed on the top as a message. This has been a mammoth task and I’d

like to say a big thank you to Jan Marie who has been coordinating this and to parents/caregivers for understanding the

task’s importance and assisting by responding as soon as you are able.

A BIG REMINDER: registrations are still open for the Winter sports – football, soccer, netball and basketball. Please

go to this link http://www.trybooking.com/ZULZ and register before it closes on Friday 29th of March.

So often games are played during the week and on weekends and no one knows the results. One of my goals this year as

Manager is to look at ways of presenting these results to you all. So please keep watching this space…

SAPSASA SWIMMING CARNIVAL Over the last couple of weeks forms went out to the students who nominated themselves for the Swimming Carnival. The

following students competed in the swimming carnival held March 1st. Congratulations to: Lotte K-D, Luella C, Rachel J,

Emma Ca, Alicia D, Mia J, Chloe V-G, Madilyn J, Mary S, Hugh H, Thomas T, Alexander G, Jakeb E, Rory P,

William H, Drew S and Casper H. Results from the carnival will be in the next newsletter.

SAPSASA TRIALS SAPSASA Trials dates have now been selected, please see table on following page. Students will need to bring the

relevant equipment to the sport on the day. If they do not have any equipment some will be available to use.

ANNUAL FAMILY PICNIC

CANTEEN NEWS

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT THE CANTEEN ☕ Monday to Friday 9:00am - 10:00am processing lunch order bags, and any other duties to be done.

☕ Monday to Friday 12.45pm - 1.30pm (or come in earlier) handing out lunch boxes and lunch service.

This is especially required on hot days like we have had this week, where lines have been out the door to the

gazebo, waiting for ice-blocks. Please spare a thought and volunteer at the Canteen. Your kids will love

seeing you there behind the counter. We are a great team to work with and we have good coffee!

NATURE’S NATURAL ICEBLOCKS Have been a massive success, so a big thankyou to parents supporting their children buying these items. It is a great

alternative to the traditional ice-blocks. It has been challenging keeping up with the demand of Frozen Oranges,

Watermelon, Pineapple and Grapes. I will be introducing Frozen Lychees next week and possibly blueberries, to

complete the rainbow of fruits available.

PANCAKE WEEK Pancakes will be available all next week at recess time, limited numbers, to acknowledge

Shrove Tuesday. 50c each.

WHAT’S UP WITH STUDENT VOICE!

GIRL POWER WORKSHOP

Our wonderful SRC Executives this year are: Beth, Keira, Samuel, Angus, Chloe M, Mary, Chloe D and William. So! The first SRC Meeting has been and gone. All the SRC Reps are already amazing at their job and we work well together as a team. The first job our SRC Reps have to do is survey their classes to figure out what jobs are important to the kids at CLG this year - some of the questions are about working together against bullying, doing a few things about the look of our school yard and ways to help those less fortunate. The first job we will be doing this year is putting some big displays on the empty pin boards around the whole school with inspirational quotes and messages on them. We will get all the ideas and suggestions from the classes at our next meeting and begin working on them right away.

Chloe Dowd on behalf of the SRC Executives
