PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Hello Parents and Friends,

We were very lucky with the weather for our school athletics last Friday. It was good to

watch our children trying hard to win places for the District Athletics in two weeks. It

was also good to see the house spirit evident in the way the children supported each

other, even those who did not win, but had a good try. Thanks to Trudie for organising

the day.

Thanks to Jodie Mattingley for her work in writing a submission for a grant from Bendigo

Bank. We have been successful in receiving a $2000 grant to buy books to support our

Guided Reading program. The books we buy using this money will each have a book

plate in the front acknowledging the support of the Bendigo Bank for our school.

We had an African Drumming incursion today, it was fabulous! The presenters were able

to keep the students engaged and keen to learn more about drumming and their

culture; we were all surprised to hear that there are over 40 languages spoken in Ghana.

Although I have never drummed, the children now think I’m an expert!!

Have a great week,

Regards,

Susan

PRINCIPAL’S DAY


Every Day In School Counts

In Victoria, school is compulsory for children and young people aged 6 -17 years.

Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Students learn new things at school every day – missing school puts them behind.

Every Day counts! If your child must miss school, please notify the school as early as possible. Missing one day a fortnight is the same as missing 4 whole weeks of school per year. From Foundation to Grade 6 that adds up to almost ONE YEAR of school missed!

Cardinia Primary has an Attendance Action Plan in order to improve school attendance. School attendance is

key for children’s school success and vital things can be missed if a student is away for just one day. As part of

our Attendance Action plan, the Wellbeing Coordinator, Jodie Mattingley, will be contacting families whose

attendance falls below 90%.

Arriving on time, ready to start the day is important for learning. Getting to school on time means having a

good routine. If you find yourself running late or missing school because you are disorganised, try:

Getting up earlier

Set a bedtime for children

Leaving all technology out of bedrooms

Packing school bags the night before

Having a set time for breakfast

My role is to support families to improve their child’s attendance so please come and have a chat. There are many supports we can to put in place to work together.

Remember, every day counts!

Jodie Mattingley

Wellbeing Coordinator

ATTENDANCE

90% = 100 lessons missed each year Missing 1 day a fortnight each term

85% = 150 lessons missed each year

80% = 200 lessons missed each year Missing 1 day each week

STUDENT CORNER

GRADE 2

In Grade 2 we have begun our Inquiry unit for Term 3- “It’s Time to Care!” We have been looking closely at the importance of the 5 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose and Refuse). Last week, it was fantastic to see three of our Grade 2 students spending their lunchtime picking up rubbish around the school ground. Well done to Brooke, Jayden and Abigail for caring about our school environment!

HELPING YOUR CHILDREN WITH MATHEMATICS

There are a number of general principles which you might keep in mind

when you are helping your children.

Learning to Count

Learning to count is important. Counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… is

the main way, but also counting using patterns:

Nursery rhymes help with forwards and backwards counting.

“Five little ducks”, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, once I caught a fish alive”, “10 green

bottles”, are just a few examples of the nursery rhymes you can

say together.

When walking around the block, predict the next house number

and then check.

2, 4, 6, 8... 5, 10, 15, 20...

100, 99, 98, 97... 100, 90, 80, 70...

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2... a, b, c, d...

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... January, February, March...


WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school.

The Parent Opinion Survey

The parent opinion survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and

Training that is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents. It is designed to

assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents’ perceptions of school climate, student

behaviour and student engagement. Our school will use the survey results to help inform

and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey. All

responses to the survey are anonymous. This year the Parent Opinion Survey will be con-

ducted from Monday 22nd

July to Sunday 11th

August.

The survey results will be reported back to the school at the end of September and will be

included in the annual report to the school community.

AROUND THE SCHOOL

Premiers’ Reading Challenge

WELL DONE CPS!

We have met our target and have now read 1034 books by the end of July.

Now it is time to set a new goal!

We have 5 weeks of the Challenge left. All books need to be read and recorded by the 6th September.

Can we double the amount of books we have read to 2000???

A very big congratulations to Lilah (2I) who has now completed the Challenge.

Lilah now joins all the other students who have completed the Challenge to go into the draw for two movie

vouchers.

Keep up all of the fantastic reading!

2019 Art Show

The Cardinia Primary School annual Art Show will be held next

week, 8th August.

From 4.00pm the BER building will be open, showcasing visual art work that has been

created this year by our fantastic students. All students will have art work on display.

Show Day & Talent Quest

On Friday 9th August students will participate in the Cardinia Primary School Annual

Show Day.

In small buddy groups students have planned and will run their chosen side show. They

will also have time to walk around and enjoy the side shows of others. Students should

have received a list of items they need to provide for their side show (if any) – if you have

any queries please speak to your child’s teacher. No money is required as students will

be given tokens to “spend” on the day. All students are to wear normal uniform.

After an early lunch, some students will be performing in the Talent Quest. All students

have passed an audition and been practising hard.

If any families or friends would like to come and watch the students perform you are

more than welcome. Please join us on the basketball court after lunch at 1:30pm


PLASTIC LIDS – ENVISION HANDS

At the end of last term we donated thousands of bottle tops to Joy De Jong from the

Rotary Club to give to Envision hands on behalf of Cardinia Primary School. This was a

wonderful school and community effort and we have loved hearing stories of people

asking their extended friends and family to get involved with this great cause.

We will still be collecting plastic lids but we have a few requests to assist in making the

process run more smoothly.

From now on:

Could families please do their best to ensure that the plastic inserts are removed

from the inside of lids before bringing them in? It would also be great if all lids

have been washed.

If possible, could families please check the inside of lids for a number symbol (see

image). These are very small and usually printed on the inside of the caps. If a

cap has a 2 or a 4 symbol could you please place these separately from other lids.

The lids with a 2 or a 4 are the ones that Envision use to make the prosthetic

limbs. We will still collect the other lids but it makes our collection process easier

if the 2 and 4s have been separated.

We are in the process of setting up a collection point in the

Junior Learning Centre so people will be able to deposit their

lids directly into the boxes.
