FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents &
Caregivers
Whole School Review –
This week we are having our four
yearly Teaching and Learning
Review.
We have three Reviewers who are
visiting our school and interviewing
staff and parents about parent
involvement and teaching and
learning in our school.
I will send home via the newsletter a
summary of the findings early next
term.
Facilities –
What a fantastic effort last Saturday
at the working bee. Thank you to
Mr Price and the volunteers from
the Centro Church, Kristy Ironside
who led the redevelopment of the
front garden, parents, students and
staff – Nick Winwood, Matt Hay and
Aaron Scott. Great results – thank
you!!
Last Monday on junior assembly,
one of our parents, Micky Hasted
presented us with a ‘catch box’
microphone.
This was the result of
a grant that she
successfully applied
for after consultation
with us.
The students had a
lot of fun throwing
and speaking
through the
microphone.
Teacher Aides Day –
This Friday is
Teacher Aides Day.
I would like to say a
special thank you to
all of our teacher
aides who work so
hard and give so much to our school
every day.
Your work and dedication is very
much appreciated by us all.
Have a wonderful fortnight everyone,
Theresa Sheehan

Prep News
Prep students have had a very busy week, involving guests visiting their
rooms.
On Thursday, Raceview hosted a Walker Learning Approach Network
Meeting. The students and teachers enjoyed the opportunity to showcase
their learning as they opened their classrooms to leaders and teachers from
other schools. Walker Learning is an approach that personalises learning and
is committed to developing children who can think for themselves and for
others, can create and imagine and who are strong in their literacy and
numeracy skills.
On Friday, the Prep classes held a Father's Day celebration for all of the fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other special
males in the students’ lives. Many fun activities were organised, such as making and flying paper planes and kites, bubble
blowing, skipping, and some even spent some time playing together in the sandpit and on our playgrounds.
Everyone had a great afternoon!
Year 1 News
1B have thoroughly enjoyed buddy
reading with the students of 2B.

Francine Hayler
Teaching and Learning at Raceview
In the last newsletter, I wrote about Visible Learning, the ‘Bump it Up Wall’ and the ‘Learning Walls’ that teachers are developing in
their classrooms. I hope you were successful in asking your children about this and that you received some informative answers
from them!
One of the skills that teachers have been focussing on during reading has been ‘Think-Alouds’. This is a skill that teachers use in
their teaching and that children learn to use when they are striving to comprehend information.
‘Thinking is invisible, so teachers have to talk about their thinking. By listening to a teacher think, students
are guided through the same processes that the experts use, as if they were apprentices.’ (Fisher, Frey, Hattie.
‘Teaching Literacy in the Visible Learning Classroom’. 2017)
An example of a Think-Aloud could be, ‘I am going to match my expression to the
words, so that I can understand the character’s feelings.’ Perhaps you could try this with your children when
you are reading aloud to them.
Assembly
On Assembly this week, we were all inspired by 3D who told us some of the things that they are grateful for. This was a great way
to start the week! Thank you to Mr Daley and 3D for such a stimulating class item.
Thank you also to those parents who are able to make it to our assemblies. Your presence is very much appreciated and is very
special for the students.
Holidays
With only two weeks to go until the September holidays, I would like to ask for your assistance with keeping our students focussed
on their learning. It is important for all students to continue to attend school every day, as the learning at Raceview never stops!
We appreciate your assistance with this.

HOW TO USE THE LOADING ZONE
Your passenger pickup zone / 2 minute zone allows for the quick pick up of children during congested peak school "let out" times.
THE CONCEPT Vehicles move slowly along the loading
zone towards the front of the queue Children see the vehicle and are ready to
get in The vehicle can be stationary for a
maximum of two minutes only Motorists "give each other a fair go" RESPECT THE TIMING Do not stop for more than two (2) minutes Do not park in the zone and walk away
from the car PICKING UP AND LOADING BAGS Plan your arrival time - Does it have to be
before students are released from class?
Do you have older children? Could you ask them to be ready and waiting 15 minutes after school gets out?
You can get out of the vehicle only to assist the children to load bags
If your child is not waiting please drive
away and return to the queue or park legally and walk to collect them
Never double park to pick up children – it is illegal and dangerous
The ‘Look Out’ Steps:
Queue and display your family name tag on the passenger side sun-
visor. These will be distributed to parents/carers in the pick-up zone.
Wait while your children are called
Stay in your car until your children arrive
Load your children & their bags without delay
Ensure seat belts are secure then leave safely
If your children are not ready, leave the zone and rejoin the queue
Things to remember:
It is a 2 minute loading zone
If your children are not able to be loaded within two minutes, drive
out of the zone
Find a parking space elsewhere, or drive off and rejoin the back of
the queue
Be considerate and do not overstay your time in the loading
zone
RACEVIEW STATE SCHOOL — Page 15
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
LOOK OUT PROGRAM
As you are aware, Raceview State School has implemented the ‘Look Out’ program from the 2 minute
loading zone in the car park off Bottlebrush Court (near the Prep buildings). This is to further enhance the
safety of our students at pick up time in the afternoon, by providing parents and carers with the option of a
quick and safe way of collecting their children.
To support parents and carers using this program, Prep students are no longer required to be signed in and
out in the morning and afternoon. New arrangements to ensure a smooth and, most importantly, safe drop-
off and pick-up are listed below.
In the morning at 8:45am, Prep students enter the Prep area and report to class.
In the afternoon at 2:55pm:
Parents / carers can still collect children from the classroom;
All other students will be walked to the Pick-up waiting area where they will be supervised:
Students being collected by car will wait until a parent / carer arrives;
Students catching buses wait until their after school care bus arrives;
Students walking home with siblings or parents / carers leave the waiting area and meet in a
pre-arranged place in the school.
Please note – parents / carers of students in any year level are welcome to use the pick-up zone in
the afternoon if this is more convenient. Students will need to wait in the designated waiting area until their
parent / carer collects them.
‘Look Out’ can only work with the co-operation of everyone who uses the zone and a commitment to the
program by your school and individuals alike. Please follow these steps:
Queue and display your family name tag on the passenger side sun-visor (these will be distributed to
parents / carers in the pick-up zone)
Wait while your children are called
Stay in your car until your children arrive
Ensure seat belts are secure then leave safely
Things to remember:
It is a 2 minute loading zone
If your children are not able to be loaded within two minutes, drive out of the zone
Find a parking space elsewhere, drive off and rejoin the back of the queue
Be considerate and do not overstay your time in the loading zone
RACEVIEW STATE SCHOOL
Message to Parents—School Safe Program
Council is continuing to monitor illegal parking around our school.
Please don’t overstay the 2 minute time limit
for dropping off or picking up passengers in the loading zones.
Overstaying can cause traffic congestion and can
frustrate other motorists which can create a dangerous environment for our school children.
