FESTIVAL OF MUSIC
On Saturday 21 September we were very proud to watch 39 of our students
performing on stage at the Adelaide Festival Theatre as part of the Public
Primary Schools’ Festival of Music.
This performance comes at the end of three
terms of rehearsal and home practice for our
Year 6 and 7 students and we would like to pay
tribute to the effort they have all put in. Along
the way we entertained the school in
assembly, sang in the parklands for Walk a
Mile in My Shoes, sang to the residents of
Leabrook Lodge and sang at Music Night and
Open Day.
Well done to these students:

2019 WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY
World Teachers’ Day is celebrated in over 100 countries. In
Australia it is celebrated on Friday 25 October. World Teachers’
Day acknowledges the efforts of teachers in an increasingly
complex, multicultural and technological society. It is a day on
which students, parents and community members can
demonstrate their appreciation for the contributions that
teachers have made to their community, maybe with some
kind words, a gesture or a letter.
CONGRATULATIONS

CANTEEN
Welcome back to Term 4, I hope everyone had an enjoyable
break from the normal routine of school!
TERM 4 MENU: As we head into the warmer months, we are
replacing our winter wedges packs with fruit salad $4.00,
which is a combination of seasonal fruit. Time permitting, we
will try to provide smaller fruit salads over the counter, or
selections of cut up fruit or fresh squeezed juices. This term we
will also reintroduce the very popular Slushies $2.00 per cup.
The flavours will be "Pine Lime" and "Sour Grape". The Granita
slushy mix that we use is 99% apple juice. Students can order
a combination of the two flavours if they wish.
FRIDAYS SPECIALS: This Friday 18 October, we will be finishing
the Yiros and Pasta from Term 3. We have limited amounts of
both, so depending on demand, we may contact your child for
an alternative choice. As next Friday 25 October is a Pupil Free
Day, we will advertise future Friday lunch specials in the next
newsletter and update Qkr accordingly.
WEDNESDAY AFTER SCHOOL ICE BLOCK SALES: The Canteen
will once again be open afterschool on Wednesday afternoons
until 3.30pm to buy ice blocks and slushies. I would appreciate
any help with serving during this time.

LIBRARY
We are excited to trial a
subscription for Wheelers
ePlatform – an audio book and
ebook platform that allows
Year 3-7 Stradbroke students
and staff access to ebooks
online both at school and at
home. This is not intended to
replace our children accessing
physical books, but to extend
their options and the way they access reading material. The
possibilities are endless including listening to books during
eating times, while drawing or building, to sample books
before borrowing or to support students to access books
outside of their reading ability (audio books are great for this).
There are also settings that support dyslexia (we suggest these
settings for everyone) and the ability to save notes or highlight
sections of the text.
Using Wheelers at home is optional and will use home internet
data, so please consider and monitor your child's access to this
resource. Like accessing physical books, we recommend that
you are aware of the texts your child is choosing to read or
listen to and consider their suitability. There are restrictions
per year level, but book choice is personal and may look
different for each family.
The website is:
https://stradsch.eplatform.co/ or you can download the app
'ePlatform' and search for Stradbroke School. Student login
and password is the same as their school computer login and
password.
Happy Reading!

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC 2020
Beginner students
Stradbroke School is fortunate to be able to
offer specialist instrumental music lessons
for Year 3-7 students. These 30 minute
lessons are conducted by DECD Instrumental
Music teachers during normal lesson time.
These lessons are available to students not
receiving tuition privately. We offer violin, viola and cello for
Years 3-7 and classical guitar for Years 5-7 students. We are
now accepting expressions of interest for beginners in 2020. If
your child would like to learn an instrument and will be in Year
3-7 in 2020, please collect a form from Kathy in the Front Office
and return it by Friday 11th November. An audition/interview
process (no previous experience necessary) will be held in late
November/early December and available vacancies allocated.
Students who have private lessons for an instrument are not
eligible for IMS lessons for the same instrument but can be
considered for the string ensemble.
Continuing students
By now you would have received an Instrumental Music
Continuing Student form for 2020 sent home this week. If your
child would like to continue learning an instrument in 2020 a
completed form needs to be submitted giving parental
consent. If you have not received a form, copies are available
from Kathy in the Front Office. If your child does not want to
continue in 2020, please advise Kathy via email at
dl.0923.info@schools.sa.edu.au with Instrumental Music 2020
as the subject line.
IB PYP EVALUATION 2020 – PARENT SURVEY
In June 2020 Stradbroke will be undergoing an evaluation of
our Primary Years Programme. The aim of an evaluation is to
evaluate the extent to which the school is meeting the
International Baccalaureate standards and practise. The
process helps us to improve implementation by identifying
strengths and weaknesses, and determining areas for future
focus. The self-study process begins in the year prior to the
evaluation. During that time all community members will
reflect on the programme implementation at Stradbroke
considering where we excel, where we have shown growth and
what needs additional attention. This is based on the
perspectives of teachers, school leaders, SSOs, students,
parents and community members.
A survey has been designed to gain feedback from the parents
of our community. We would appreciate you taking the time
to fill it out. This will be used, along with other evidence
gathered, to rate the
implementation of
each practice. Surveys
have been emailed out
randomly to families –
if you did not receive a
link but would like to
give feedback please
use the QR code– this
survey can be
completed on a phone
or tablet.
If you have any questions about the survey or the evaluation
please contact Sarah Button, IB senior leader.

Placement of Children
in Classes for 2020
Planning for next year’s classes will begin soon. In making recommendations about class composition, teachers consider
factors such as:
• learning needs
• gender balance
• year level balance
• social and emotional maturity
• children with special needs and talents
• social dynamics (which children to keep together and
which to keep apart)
• friendship groups
• the number of children per class.
Parent Information
Parents are invited to write a short letter to the Principal if you have specific information about the needs of your child.
Please include your child’s name, current year level and each student’s requirements on a separate page (not one family
letter).
Please do not make requests for a specific teacher. Due to enrolment numbers it is highly likely we will have composite
classes, please do not make requests for your child to be or not be in a composite class. Please be aware that not all requests
can be met, in past years some letters have included 5-6 specific requests for one child and it is very unlikely that these can
all be accommodated. If you do have more than one request please write them in priority order so that we know which
aspects of your request are most important to you.
• Please place your letter in an envelope addressed to Tanya Scanlan.
• Parent letters are due by 4pm on Wednesday 30th October.
• Parent information will be considered along with factors considered by our teachers and those listed above.
• Only information based on educational criteria will be considered.
• A copy of your letter will be made available to the class teachers who make the placements.
Classroom teachers use a range of processes to ask children to nominate friends with whom they wish to be placed. As it’s
extremely difficult for us to deal with contradictory information from students and parents, it’s preferable that parents don’t
write about friendship requests to us, unless there are serious issues.
At this stage class structures are not definite and the final allocation of teachers to classes, which will take place late in the
term, is affected by the appointment of teachers.
Who makes the final decision?
Staff will do their best to meet your child's needs. You can be assured that we spend a great deal of time and effort in
accommodating and allocating children to classes.
It is the responsibility of the Principal to make the final decision on classes and placement of students.
At times it may not be in the child's best interests to be placed according to parent requests and
we will discuss this with you wherever possible.
When will children and parents know about class placements?
If possible, class placement information will be sent home with students in the last week of term.
After that date children's class placements will not be changed unless there are extenuating circumstances.
If you wish to take advantage of the opportunity to provide information about your child, please ensure that all requests are
forwarded to the Principal no later than 4pm on Wednesday 30th October 2019.
Kind regards,
Tanya Scanlan

Dear Parents and Families,
Information about Materials and Services Charge 2020
Overleaf you will find the notice advising of the composition of the Materials and
Services Charge for 2020.
We are proud of the learning facilities and the exceptional programmes we provide for
our students at Stradbroke School. In order to maintain and continuously improve what
we offer, we rely on the financial support of our families. The annual Materials and
Services Charge contributes to the funds available to support your stude ts’ lear i g.
The Charge is intended to cover the costs of those essential items and services
used or consumed by individual students during the course of their study.
The level of the Materials and Services Charge must reflect the actual cost of the
goods and services provided for the Charge.
The invoice for the Materials and Services Charge must match the notice by
showing the composition and associated cost of the total Charge.
We believe that the annual Materials and Services Charge represents excellent value for
the year’s educatio al progra .
Please note that the School Card grant covers the first $244.00 of the fees in 2020, and
the scheme for payment of fees by instalments will be available as in previous years.
More information about these facilities will be available when fees are invoiced.
If you have any questions about the charge please contact the School Finance Officer, by
phoning 8337 2861.
Parents are invited to attend the next Governing Council meeting (details below) at
which the Material and Services Charge will be discussed and set for 2020. This meeting
