We are well and truly in the throws of term four! The children are having a wonderful time learning their dances for the Presentation Night. Natasha Amato our dance teacher is challenging them to remember all the moves.
What a great way to get our children moving in a fun way. Please make sure you put our Presentation Night date on your calendars, Thursday 12th
December, starting promptly at 6pm. Our Presentation Night will be followed by our Year 6 Graduation Night from approximately 8.15pm. (for parents and
family of graduates)

Dance Program and Presentation Night
We had a wonderful Early Years conference last Thursday for our 2020 Kindy parents and carers. We had a great turnout of over 30 parents and caregivers. We had a great time
learning about Early Numeracy, Literacy and Visible Learning.
Thanks to Mrs Heidi King and Mrs Amy McEwen for sharing your knowledge and expertise on the day.
Natalie Astle—ACTING PRINCIPAL
Thank you to P&C A huge thank you to our P&C for running a successful and fun movie night last Friday. How wonderful for our families to have the opportunity to get together out of school socially. I
know there are a lot of children getting really excited about the upcoming sleep out on Saturday 9th November.
Booklist for 2020
We confirm that Book lists for 2020 have been finalised and will be issued today. The list is also available on our Website. Please keep an eye out in your child’s school bag!
Soundwaves is now only for Years 3-6. Pre-Primary to Year 2 will be using a different spelling program. Please purchase your Soundwaves books through Campion. These books
will be issued at school by your child’s teacher, once they return in February.
Early Years Conference
Shortly, teachers will begin considering the placement of students in classes for 2020. This is a rigorous and thorough process as our aim is to create a balanced learning environment within all classrooms. Firstly, classes for 2020 will be structured taking into account the projected number of students in each year level, the number of teachers employed at the school and the availability of resources and facilities. We also aim to have a class structure which will allow for any possible changes in enrolment numbers during the year, minimising the need to restructure during the school year. Then, teachers and Admin will consider the placement of individual students into the agreed class structure. Placements are based on our teachers’ professional judgements about students' educational needs and include the following considerations:
Balance of academic performance
Behaviour and social development
Work habits
Students with special needs and students at educational risk
Previous class placements Parent input regarding their child’s educational needs will be considered, however, requests in relation to choice of teacher will not be considered as a placement factor. Parents have the opportunity to share any concerns that they may have regarding the educational needs of their child/children by forwarding this in writing to Natalie Astle before Friday 8th November for consideration. Please also advise if your child will not be attending Greenmount Primary School next year. Final class lists will be published on Friday 31st January 2020, prior to the commencement of the new school year.

Before school supervision
Just a friendly reminder that supervision for students in the morning starts at 8.15am. Please ensure that your children are not arriving before this time for their safety. Children are to congregate in the undercover area—not outside classrooms or in the play areas.
Our PEAC results for our Year fours have come in, none of our students got through the highly competitive pool, though we had some impressive results. To be competitive the students needed
to be above the 97th percentile of all students tested.
Congratulation to Seth
Huge Congratulations to one of our Year 4 students Seth Eade who was awarded a gold star for bravery by Royal Life saving WA. This courageous young man received this award for holding his brother up in the water at Lake Leschenaultia when he saw that he was struggling in the waves. We are so proud of you Seth!
