Newsletter Week 6 Term 4 2019

Congratulations Mrs Leverett

Lead accreditation is the highest level of accreditation

that a teacher and school leader can apply for. It is

voluntary and those who are successful

become nationally certified and receive a medal from

the education minister.

Lead teachers are recognised and respected by

colleagues, parents/carers and the community as

exemplary teachers. They have demonstrated consistent

and innovative teaching practice overtime. Inside and

outside the school they initiate and lead activities that

focus on improving educational opportunities for all

students. We congratulate our amazing Mrs Leverett for

achieving Lead Accreditation. Well done we are so

proud of you!

final orientation session.

program aimed at young people to teach them about safety around pets.

CODE REaD@RPS 2019

Endorsed by the Australian Dyslexia Association, the CODE REaD Network is

an organisation founded with the aim to ensure that all people with dyslexia

are understood, acknowledged, empowered and have equal access to

opportunity.

Regentville PS got onboard to support this initiative. We had red paper plane

challenges, yummy red treats for all and a learning workshop open to our

community.

What an incredible day we had on Thursday 9th November! The 'buzz' in the

air was undeniable as the gentle simmer of empowerment spread

throughout the day's events. Of course, there was not one single event that

surpassed any other. There was not one moment more important or

significant than the rest. The generosity of time, openness to embrace new

learning and willingness to acknowledge dyslexia, was at the heart of such

a successful day.

I have had many, many conversations with families, students and teachers

about their learning, experiences and encouragement for all learners as a

result of CODE REaD@RPS. Thank you to the CODE REaD Team, Healthy HQ

and our P&C for coming together to make a difference!

If you would like any further information or make an enquiry, please come

and have a chat.

Natalie Bland.

Penrith Valley Public Speaking Grand Final

The voices of the valley were heard loud and clear at the Penrith Valley

Public Speaking Grand Final held here at Regentville Public School. The top

six students from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 competed in the competition from

schools across the Penrith Valley. The content varied from our confusing

English language, to holidays to conspiracies about the moon landing. All

students commanded a presence on stage and delivered speeches with an

engaging and sincere style!

Congratulations to Dylan who represented Regentville Public School in the

Year 5 category with a well prepared and humorous speech about an

encounter with a magpie. Thank you Jaxon Dunn and Sophie O’Leary for

confidently chairing the prestigious event.
