From the Principal’s desk… What a beautiful start to the month of April. We have a lot happening here this week. These are our Champions from WCIAC. Well done everyone. Thank you to everyone who attended the ‘Tidy Up our Teacher’ event last Friday night. Thanks to Zali, Marli and Chloe for organising the event, Joshy Willo for playing tunes and Ian Dudley for supplying the ‘dreds’. We raised $1352.00 for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

You may have noticed our new sign out the front of the gate. Thank you to Tim Kierse and Nathan Jacobs for their work in making it all happen. Thanks to Julie and John for positioning it near the gate. Today we have Robyn Wohling, our Central Eyre Partnership Principal Consultant visiting. We will be discussing our School Improvement Plan 2017.

Jo Penna and Chad Fleming will be at Ungarra Primary school tomorrow as part of Numeracy Results + professional learning with Cummins Area School, Port Neill Primary and Tumby Area School staff. Kate Jervis and Julie Romanowycz will be relieving in classes.

On Wednesday we have a CAP performance @ 9am ’Kia Toa’ with Bernard Mangakahalia. All community members are welcome to attend.

Governor Hieu Van Le will visit here on Thursday April 6th 2017 @ 10am Some background … His Excellency was born in Central Vietnam in 1954, where he attended school before studying Economics and Business Management at the Dalat University in the Highlands. His Excellency, and his wife, Lan, arrived in Australia in 1977 and settled in Adelaide, starting with three months at the Pennington Migrant Hostel. In August 2007, His Excellency was sworn in as the Lieutenant Governor of South Australia. Over the next seven years in this role, His Excellency served as the Patron or Honorary member of many organisations. On 1 September 2014, His Excellency was sworn in as Governor of South Australia. It is understood that His Excellency is the first Vietnamese-born person who has ever been appointed to a Vice-Regal position in the world. His Excellency was awarded the Australia Day Medal in 1996 for outstanding service to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and has been awarded the Centenary of Federation Medal for service to the advancement of multiculturalism. On Thursday we have Brighton High School students visiting. They will be hosting volleyball clinics for our students from Year 4—10 from 9am till recess.

I will be attending the annual DECD Education Leaders Day on Thursday in Adelaide along with over 900 leaders from across the state. Professor Michael Fullan will lead us through the ins and outs of Indelible Leadership. The theme has been influenced by the professional dialogue generated amongst site leaders and corporate leaders throughout 2015 and 2016. The aim for our 2017 program is for all of us to delve more deeply into the evidenced-based research that continues to influence what makes the difference for students, teachers, each school and our system... how does deep leadership support deep learning?

Attached to this newsletter is a Naplan parent caregiver information sheet.

Enjoy the week. Cynthia

Week 10 DISCO Friday 7th April, the theme is “COWBOYS and INDIANS”. Week 11 Thursday is casual clothes day and mini pizzas. Last day of Term 1 is ‘Ride to School’. ELLISTON RSL MEMORIAL CHILDREN’S CENTRE NEWS Congratulations to Zali, Marli, Chloe, and Ian on the very

successful ‘dread cutting’ last Friday night. A sensational effort from you all, and all supporting excellent charities.

This week is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Last week the learning continued with an amazing

chocolate worm mud pit, sounds interesting, it definitely was! So much fun and mess finding the lolly snakes and worms in the mud pit. We also designed 3D fish with wire and decorations; these are hanging in the Kindy. We read the book Giraffes Can’t Dance and then brainstormed things we can’t do yet. The fritters were beautiful with all children helping to cook and eat them!

This week we are revising the letters a – g. Teresa is cooking banana bread tomorrow, and doing some autumn art work.

A huge thank you to all the parents who attended and sent in apologies to last week’s AGM. It was a fantastic attendance and many things were discussed. Fees will continue to be $75 per term for each child.

A new healthy food policy was implemented in line with the DECD Right Bite Policy. There are fridge reminders for each family and any interested community members who would like one.

This Friday is our first Bus Tour, rosters are out and about. Annie is away on Wednesday and Thursday for leadership

and big welcome to Tracy. Have a fantastic week! Regards Annie, Teresa, Julie, Lari, Karen & Ayesha
