Dear Families,

What a busy, but productive Term 2 we have had. This will

be our final newsletter for this term. I would like to take

the opportunity to recognise the great effort and

dedication shown by our teaching team and SSO staff to

ensure the best learning and wellbeing outcomes are

provided for our students. Many thanks also to the

wonderful volunteers who support in the classrooms,

library and canteen. Without your support, many of the

opportunities provided to our students may not happen.

Staff Changes:

We farewell James Pritchard at the end of this term.

James has been working as a student support and release

teacher during Term 2. James is off on his overseas

experience. We wish him all the best with his travels.

Chris Couzner will be returning to Room 9 in Term 3. Chris

has been on extended leave over the past year. Chris will

be teaching from Monday to Thursday and Jackie Castro

will continue to teach the class on Friday. We would like to

thank Jackie Castro for her hard work and dedication

during the first semester. Jackie will continue to work at

Burton in a number of roles.

Student Reports:

Comprehensive student reports will be sent home with

students today. Please check school bags! Remember that

a ’C’ for achievement means that your child is working at a

satisfactory standard for their year level. If you have any

questions about the report, please speak with the teacher

involved with the class or subject.

School Hats:

In line with our SunSmart Policy (based on the

recommendations from the Cancer Council SA), students

are required to wear hats during Terms 1, 3 and 4. All

students will need to wear a sun-safe hat from the

beginning of next term.

Dogs on the School Premises:

Please ensure that dogs are not taken on to the school

site at any time. This includes the school oval. The school

has a responsibility to ensure the safety of children, staff

and visitors to the site. Thank you for your understanding

with this matter.

Overdue Items:

Over the holiday break can you please check for any overdue

library books and readers. We have a number of students

with overdue items.

Pyjama/Casual Clothes Day:

On the last day of term students are able to wear their

pyjamas or casual clothes for a gold coin donation. Students

are reminded that appropriate clothing and footwear needs

to be worn at all times.

Last Day of Term:

Tomorrow is the last day of Term 2. Please remember that

school finishes at 2.05pm and student needs to be picked

up by this time, unless attending OSHC.

I would like to wish everyone a relaxing and enjoyable

holiday break. Please stay safe and look after each other.

Rugby League 2019 - Girls State Champions!

On Wednesday the 3rd of July, 12 boys and 13 girls travelled to the Rugby League State Finals after both teams won the

Northern Districts finals a few weeks ago. The girls had been training hard for the past few weeks, spending their

lunchtimes practising and enhancing their skills.

The day started with a round robin tournament where they played 6 other schools from across the state. The girls showed

great determination, skills and progressed undefeated. This set up a state semi-final with Greenock PS. It was a close

game, but they succeeded and a grand final awaited.

The state final was against Henley PS. The girls were tired, playing their 8th game of the day, but like any great team they

rallied, worked together and ran home victorious and crowned the best girls’ team in South Australia!

Congratulations to Makayla, Sienna, Duyen, Katelyn, Sandra, Jade, Amot, Fatema, Ella S, Ella L, Teagan, Mia and Vanessa.

Your hard work paid off. Thanks to all the family members who came and supported on the day. It was greatly appreciated.

Boys Third Place An undefeated SAPSASA campaign saw our boys’ rugby team heading to the state finals for the first time in two years. We

started fast, winning our first two games against Two Wells and Greenock. The boys then came up against Nairne. With

only a ten-minute break between games, the team was feeling the pinch and Nairne took advantage. They proved a

formidable opponent, speed in attack and our inability to stick tackles led to our first loss of the day. After another short

rest we faced Largs Bay, bouncing back with a resounding win. Going into our last round robin game for the day against

rivals Salisbury North, the fatigue was starting to take its toll. They were yet again too fast, scoring quickly to give us our

second loss for the day.

Our 3-2 win-loss record for the day was enough to put us through to the championship division for finals where we would

come up against an undefeated Murray Bridge side. They were full of talent. With our backs against the wall we didn’t give

up, scoring two tries, but ultimately going down to the team that would go on to become state champions. This left us

facing Happy Valley in a playoff for third place, a game we went on to win. Huge congratulations to every player for the

team work and sportsmanship they showed while representing our school. A special mention goes to Marcus Lobo and

Caleb Barton for showing strong leadership throughout the day, including a great speech during presentations to round out

a fantastic day for Burton!
