PRINCIPALrsquoS MESSAGE Dear Families Parent Opinion Survey The Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is conducted with a sample of randomly selected parents at each school There is a new version of the survey in 2017 it seeks parent opinion on measures of school climate student engagement relationships with the parent community and effective teaching practice known to influence student engagement and student outcomes This will assist the school in gaining an understanding of parentsrsquo perceptions to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies
The 2017 survey will be conducted online by ORIMA Research Pty Ltd and only takes 15 minutes to complete It can be accessed via desktop computer laptop tablet or mobile connected to the internet at any convenient time within the fieldwork period from Monday 7 August to Sunday 27 August The survey is administered from a secure online survey portal
Parents are randomly selected through our student management program The unique school survey link will be distributed to the random sample of parents selected to complete the survey All responses are anonymous Please take the time to complete the survey as we value your opinion
Teaching and Learning On Monday and Tuesday I attended the DET Professional Learning Communities pilot program workshop in Bendigo with three of our teachersmdashCaitlin Wilkinson Mel Hunter and Laura Lopes-Vieira The main aim of this projectmdashone of the biggest in the history of DETmdashis to support schools and teachers to work in teams to improve studentsrsquo learning Teams analyse studentsrsquo work samples and data to find areas needing improvement and work together to learn the best teaching strategies to do this effectively for every child Work has already started with the year level leaders and professional learning for all teachers will continue over this semester Numeracy in Semester 2 There are four competencies that lead to students being able to apply their numeracy skills in everyday life and work situations Proficiency in understanding reasoning problem solving and fluency ensure we can use our maths skills confidently and efficiently in a range of situations This term we will also be monitoring the studentsrsquo level of speed and accuracy with their fluency skills on a range number facts tables and measurement facts appropriate for each year level to improve the speed and accuracy of their maths work
HomeSchool partnership Much of the work in our maths lessons at school is around teaching
the understanding of concepts applying prior knowledge estimation and checking strategies to
judge the reasonableness of calculations and applying all of these skills to accurately solve
problems Students practise their fluency skills in warm-up and revision activities for about 5-10
minutes of every maths lesson You can make a valuable contribution to the homeschool
partnership by encouraging 3-5 minutes of practice daily with your child (eg in the car) to improve
the automatic recall of the number facts and tables that are expected at your childrsquos year level Ask
your child what set of facts they are currently working on (only 3-4 not the whole set) If your child
has an auditory memory or processing issue talk to hisher class teacher about other strategies to
support their fluency as automatic recall of tables facts will be more difficult
Hope you have had a good week Julie Soutter

Dear Families Firstly I would like to acknowledge the fabulous job our four school captains are doing with organising and running assembly each week Their maturity and confidence shines through and both Julie and I appreciate all of their hard work
Thank you to the PFA who organised and ran an enjoyable comedy show on Saturday There were many families who attended The raffle was a great success with many prizes Thank you to the people who donated prizes as well as the many families who supported the school through the purchase of tickets We are very fortunate at Gisborne PS to have supportive and generous families
A reminder for all families that the first school bell goes at 850am which indicates to students that they should move to their classrooms and get organised for the day The next bell goes at 855am which is the time for students to be ready for learning The first two hours of the day can be the most productive learning time It would be greatly appreciated if parents could please have their children at school prior to the 850am bell to ensure students are ready for learning
Teachers and students have been discussing Bully Stoppers in their classrooms with excellent feedback and strategies being displayed There are many classrooms with displays and work samples
Tomorrow we are recognising Jeans for Genes day with students given the opportunity to wear a pair of jeans Students are asked to wear their school uniform shirt and jumper and are invited to donate a gold coin towards the cause Thank you for your support
As you may have noticed a survey was sent out to each family asking for feedback around our wellbeing programs Thank you to those families who have already completed the survey If all families could please complete the survey at the earliest most convenient time that would be appreciated
The Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that has been implemented into the classrooms is a Primary Program and has 8 different focus areas As a staff we have decided to focus on the first 4 areas as we believe these are the most relevant to our primary age students and provides useful and purposeful strategies and information
The areas include 1Emotional Literacy - The ability to understand ourselves and other people It includes the ability to understand express and manage our own emotions build empathy and to respond appropriately to the emotions of others
2Personal Strengths ndash To recognise and understand strengths and positive qualities in themselves and others
3Positive Coping ndash To provide opportunities for students to identify and discuss different types of coping strategies
4Problem Solving ndash To provides a number of learning activities to develop studentsrsquo problem-solving skills The activities in the program assist students to develop their critical and creative thinking skills

our school values over the last week
UNWELL CHILDREN You may be aware that our school currently has a student who has been receiving medical treatment for cancer and is recovering from treatments and their side effects As this student has a compromised immune system and is more vulnerable to disease it is important that you do not send your children to school if they are unwell (gastro colds high temperature etc)
We currently have a confirmed case of influenza in the school and we have been advised that there are cases of chickenpox in the Gisborne community at the moment however as yet there have been no cases at school
Should your child have an infectious disease (such as the measles chickenpox or influenza) your child should stay at home until no longer contagious and we ask that you DO NOT BRING THEM INTO THE SCHOOL GROUNDS and please notify the school office immediately
For more information about how long an illness is contagious contact your GP or visit the Vic Department of Health website at www2healthvicgovau

Multiculturalism and Friendship reflections from 1B I think the tree is life We are all different can like everyone Claire
I think the tree is about friendship happiness and love William
The good tree of friendship shows life People have different sized hands and colours but we are all the same Spensa
I think the tree is about friendship because it is colourful It is important that we are all friends and we are all the same no matter what size we are or what colour our skin is Alana
The tree shows me about friendship and greatness It doesnrsquot matter if we are different we can be friends forever Julian
This picture shows me it doesnrsquot matter what colour you are or how big you are or if you are at the bottom or at the top We can all be friends and we are all the same Jacob
I think the hands show that you are unique and special The hands show friendship and it doesnrsquot matter what size or colour you are Sienna
The tree is creative and all about different coloured hands We have the same hands but they may be different sizes and colours It doesnrsquot matter Kayley
The picture is about how we are all the same We are all very very special It doesnrsquot matter if you have different coloured skin or you are big or small we are all the same Archie
The picture reminds me of colour size and friendship People are all different sizes but you can still be friends If you are different colours you can still be friends It doesnrsquot matter we are all the same Asher
I think the tree is about friendship There are different sized hands of different colours They are different shapes However we are all the same even if you come from a different shape We are all the same Oakley
The picture showed me that you could be any colour size or shape It does not matter who is next to you You are allowed to be different from your friends Lenny
I think all of those hands are about friendship I think they are nice and it does not matter if you have different coloured skin You can be big or small and it does not matter That is what I think Jack

This picture shows me it doesnrsquot matter what colour you are or how big you are or if you are at the bottom or at the top We can all be friends and we are all the same Jacob
I think the hands show that you are unique and special The hands show friendship and it doesnrsquot matter what size or colour you are Sienna
The tree is creative and all about different coloured hands We have the same hands but they may be different sizes and colours It doesnrsquot matter Kayley
The picture is about how we are all the same We are all very very special It doesnrsquot matter if you have different coloured skin or you are big or small we are all the same Archie
The picture reminds me of colour size and friendship People are all different sizes but you can still be friends If you are different colours you can still be friends It doesnrsquot matter we are all the same Asher
I think the tree is about friendship There are different sized hands of different colours They are different shapes However we are all the same even if you come from a different shape We are all the same Oakley
The picture showed me that you could be any colour size or shape It does not matter who is next to you You are allowed to be different from your friends Lenny
I think all of those hands are about friendship I think they are nice and it does not matter if you have different coloured skin You can be big or small and it does not matter That is what I think Jack

Congratulations to the following students who were observed displaying positive behaviours including
our school values over the last week
UNWELL CHILDREN You may be aware that our school currently has a student who has been receiving medical treatment for cancer and is recovering from treatments and their side effects As this student has a compromised immune system and is more vulnerable to disease it is important that you do not send your children to school if they are unwell (gastro colds high temperature etc)
We currently have a confirmed case of influenza in the school and we have been advised that there are cases of chickenpox in the Gisborne community at the moment however as yet there have been no cases at school
Should your child have an infectious disease (such as the measles chickenpox or influenza) your child should stay at home until no longer contagious and we ask that you DO NOT BRING THEM INTO THE SCHOOL GROUNDS and please notify the school office immediately
For more information about how long an illness is contagious contact your GP or visit the Vic Department of Health website at www2healthvicgovau
We appreciate your cooperation Please do not hesitate to contact the school should you have any questions
