    What expectations arise when you think about the teachers who work at your local school? A group of caring, fair and capable people who can effectively teach and engage students is a reasonable image that comes to mind.

    But what is the expectation that the teachers at your local school are a collaborative team of learners focused on understanding and applying evolving educational research to improve teaching practice and thereby improve student learning?

    This sort of expectation is most reasonable and is it in fact a requirement of the teaching profession. To maintain accreditation against the Australian Professional Standards for Teaching, all teachers must contribute to collegial discussions and apply constructive feedback from colleagues to improve professional knowledge and practice.

    Teachers working with teachers to improve the learning of students can be understood in terms of a professional learning community (PLC) whereby the collaborative expertise of teachers drives school

    improvement and the success of the individual student. PLC’s direct focus towards the ongoing analysis and evaluation of school systems and teaching practices to determine their effectiveness in achieving student learning outcomes.

    Guided by the School Excellence Framework, Departmental Policies and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, the focus of the Ashfield Public School PLC is to improve the implementation of effective learning programs that address the identified learning and wellbeing needs of individuals, groups and students cohorts across the whole school community.

    The evolution of Ashfield Public School as a PLC is evident, for example, in the way members of the school’s executive work together to track the milestones of the school plan. Using data from assessments and observations, together they discuss and clarify what actions taken by the school to progress learning are working, what areas need to be improved and how to strategically and fairly allocate resources to achieve learning outcomes. Communication meetings and professional development sessions present the evidence-based decisions to inform teachers of where to next.

    The Ashfield Public School PLC continues to evolve by developing teachers who are skilled in classroom observation, can validate judgments using a range of evidence, and give and receive feedback in order to secure outstanding teaching including the use of high-leverage approaches to address important curriculum issues. Curriculum and pedagogical expertise is celebrated and shared across the school.

    PLC’s are important because they work. They focus teachers on the task of sharing expertise and quality practice so that students learn more. The Ashfield Public School PLC is our commitment to creating a whole school culture that is focused on continuous improvement by linking the learning needs of students with the professional learning and practice of teachers.

    Welcome back to a term packed full of exciting learning programs and activities. This term our focus is on where food comes from and we are learning all about farms and harvests. This coincides with the ‘Here In our Garden” fete later in September. A big thank you to all those who were involved in our tree planting day on the 29th of July, what a great start to the term!

    Once again children are required to present a short talk on a given topic as part of their ‘news’. Be sure to look closely at the food related topic for each week. We have already learnt lots interesting information from each other and the research, practice and support that is happening at home is fantastic.

    The Jellybeans music program has started and Kindergarten are learning to play a variety of instruments, which is lots of fun. In PE we are playing games to develop our ball skills and we are also taking part in the Premiers Sporting Challenge to further promote keeping our bodies active and healthy. Our first ever Athletics Carnival was a great day as we participated in a number of events and practiced our sportsmanship.

    Our excursion to the city was such a treat! Based on Pamela Allen’s book ‘Alexander’s Outing’, children explored the Botanical Gardens by tracing Alexander the duck’s journey and solved mathematical problems along the way.

    Welcome back to a fast and exciting pace for all in Stage One. Year One and Two have been busy mapping and investigating the school environment. They have been listing the trees that are growing in the Harmony Garden and the Wangal playground. The students have also been visiting the Sensory Garden to use their five senses.

    Most of the Year Two students have been enjoying going to the pool for the last two weeks for their Learn to Swim Program. The students were placed in swimming groups and placed in intensive swimming lessons. All students made huge progress from water confidence to stroke correction and all learning new skills. It’s been a very valuable experience for all.

    Another new program this term has been the introduction of the Jellybean Music Program. The students were focused and engaged in the hands on music lessons.

    Welcome back! What an amazing start to Term 3. At Ashfield, we take our fitness seriously. We are engaged in our school swimming and water safety program, Premiers Sporting Challenge, and athletics carnival. The aim of the Premier Sporting Challenge is to encourage students to become more active, more often. Students have been tracking their physical activity throughout the school term including swimming hours, play time, and extra curricula activities on the weekends. Well done stage 2, not only are they being active, but they’re also building resilience.

    Stage 2 had the opportunity to take part in our school swimming and water safety program run by the Department of Education. It was great to see the students develop their confidence in the water, and water safety skills.

    Congratulations to our students on a super day of athletics. It was a day full of fun with some superb individual performances. Keeping in line with our philosophy of providing opportunities for all, students were able to compete in every event. Thanks to staff and families for lending their time and efforts to help ensure the day was a success. A special mention to Mr Cartwright for his hard work organising the event.

    Stage 2 is to be commended on their successes during the Spelling bee competition. All contestants were asked to spell a broad selection of words, with a varying degree of difficulty. Congratulations to our spelling superstars Matthew Kennett and Mia Fleming who will represent Ashfield in the next round.

    Stage 3Stage PageWelcome back to Term 3. We look forward to our excursion to Barangaroo Reserve, scheduled for Thursday 9th August and Thursday 16th August. Students will be learning about sustainability at this newly developed site. This complements our science unit ‘Future Matter’ and our whole school focus on ‘Here in my Garden’. Our school fete will be on Saturday 22nd September.

    This term all students at Ashfield are participating in the Premiers Sporting Challenge. Many students have used opportunities at swimming lessons to add some significant time to our tally. We have also been conscious of the activities we engage in on the playground during break, during sport lessons and before and after school. Some of our pet dogs are happy about the extra walks as our owners strive to achieve the next level in our exercise challenge.

    Congratulations to all students who represented their class at the Stage3 Spelling Bee. We have been blown away by the incredible ability of our students to spell challenging words under pressure. Special congratulations to Jodhi and Albert who will have the opportunity to represent our stage at the Regional Final at Glebe Public School on Tuesday 11th September.

    Congratulations to all members of our School Band who participated in the Engadine Band Festival on Thursday 5th July, receiving a silver medal. The band trains in the hall on a Wednesday after school and new members are welcome. For details contact Ben Hingley on 0413 428474.

    A huge thank you to Ms Kassabian and Ms Davies for supporting our students to perform in the Sydney Dance Eisteddfod at the Opera House on Sunday 5th August. Students also backed up for the St George Dance Eisteddfod on Tuesday 7th August. A spectacular effort for our inaugural eisteddfod dance group.

    Our Stage 3 debating teams, Ashfield Red and Ashfield Blue, had a very successful run in the Premier’s Debating Challenge. Both teams experienced wins in their rounds and all students became very competent in preparing their arguments in only 60 minutes. We are so proud of their improvement this year and look forward to participating again next year.

    Deadly Kids ReportLearning how to speak in front of an audience is a great skill to learn. Yarn Up Public Speaking is held every year. Aboriginal students in year 5 and 6 are eligible to participate. Students visit Parliament House in Macquarie Street for two days of preparation

    to learn public speaking techniques and also explore some of the famous sites in Parliament House.

    The speech can be on any topic the student chooses. Brant spoke about his cousin Josh Addo Carr who is a talented Rugby League player and represented New South Wales in the State of Origin match against Queensland. Emma spoke about the difficulties still facing Aboriginal people after so many years of European settlement. She believes that Aboriginal people have the right to follow their own lives and have equal opportunities just like all Australians.

    Sounds like an important philosophy for all of us.

    Chinese ReportChinese sweets

    Egg tart - The egg tart is a kind of custard tart found in china. The dish consists of an outer pastry crust and is filled with egg custard.

    Tanghulu - Tanghulu also called bingtanghulu is a traditional Chinese snack of candied fruit. It originated from northern China, but it is now commonly available in most Chinese cities, such as Beijing Tianjin, Shanghai. It consists of fruits covered in hard candy on bamboo skewers that are approximately 20 cm long.

    Black sesame rice balls - Made with glutinous rice and brown sugar, these bites of chewy goodness are also known as Chinese New Year cakes. Easy to prepare at home from pre-made batches, they’re usually eaten at breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Sticky rice cakes are a staple for the Lunar New Year and are considered to bring you luck and prosperity in the coming year. You can find them at T&T Supermarket, Real Canadian Superstore, Asian bakeries, and Kirin restaurants.

    Sweet Red Bean Soup - A traditional Chinese dessert that’s sometimes eaten as a late-night snack, red bean soup is a favourite for any celebration, including Lunar New Year. Made with red beans, sun-dried tangerine peels, and lotus seeds, the sweet dessert soup contains vitamins B and E. It’s usually eaten hot, and variations include the addition of glutinous rice balls, or sago. You can make your own at home using a few simple ingredients found in Chinese supermarkets. If that’s too time-consuming, you can try a bowl at many Chinese restaurants—including Leisure Tea and Coffee in Richmond.

    Sesame Fritters - A must-have for Lunar New Year, sesame fritters are deep-fried cookie balls rolled in sesame seeds. They have a characteristic cracked opening that emulates a wide grin—giving them the Chinese name of “grinning fritters”. Most people consider this food a New Year’s snack more than a dessert, but it works both ways. The golden colour of the fritters symbolizes wealth, while the grin represents laughter. You can buy these bite-sized delights at Chinese bakeries, including all locations of Saint Germain Bakery.

    Advice with Expressive Eli and Patient PrekshaI am new to Ashfield Public School and sometimes I get lost or confused at school, but I am too embarrassed to ask for help from my teachers or peers as I do not know anyone very well.

    Please help me,

    Lost

    Dear Helpless Soul,

    There are many new students at Ashfield who are most likely feeling just like you. Do not be afraid to ask for help as asking for help is a good skill, and if you are afraid to ask for help, you may be confused in future lessons. Have confidence in yourself and you will thrive.

    Hope that this helps,
