CALENDAR TERM 3 PRINCIPAL’S NEWS
WELLBEING WEEK This week is Wellbeing Week. Wellbeing Week provides the opportunity
for all students and teachers to promote overall awareness for the
various aspects of wellbeing, including social, physical, emotional and
community wellbeing.
Each school develops its own procedures for implementing lockdown.
Lockdown blocks access to the school and secures students and staff in
rooms as part of an incident/emergency response or potential threat.
Last Thursday the students took part in a lockdown procedure to
prepare them for an emergency. I was particularly pleased with the
mature and timely response from our students. Well done students!
Tomorrow we will be having an Appreciation
Breakfast for our Special Religious Education
providers (Scripture and Ethics) as well as our
parent helpers such as the BEAR program.
High School Orientation is tomorrow for Year 6
students who will be attending a public high school next year. Students
are to go straight to their high school in the morning. Those students
who are not attending orientation will come to school as normal.
This Wednesday is the last Assembly for 2019. ICAS English & Writing
Awards will be presented and 2020 School Prefects will be announced. I
would like to congratulate our 2020 leaders but also to
commend/acknowledge all students who nominated themselves for
leadership positions and presented speeches last week. Parents are
welcome to join us at the assembly.
Would you like to know more about our school’s 2019 NAPLAN results?
What data does the school look at and what do teachers do next in
terms of providing support to students that will address any areas of
concern as well as celebrate and extend the aspects we are achieving
well in? I will be running a session this Friday 6 December at 9:15am in
the library for interested parents. Please RSVP to the school email
address if you would like to attend.
I look forward to seeing you at the P&C meeting tomorrow evening.

SWIM SCHOOL
Swim School continues today and will run every day this week except Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school with
all of their equipment as per the information note.
PICNIC DAY
On Monday 16 December the school will hold an end of year picnic from 12:30pm. Each child
is asked to bring a plate of food to share with the other members of their class. Some
suggestions include little sandwiches, muffins, vegetable sticks or fruit. Please remember: NO
NUT PRODUCTS. Parents and carer are welcome to attend. If you are unable to attend, your
child can bring their food into the classroom from 8:45am to keep it safe. Please do not
send your child with food requiring refrigeration, as there will not be room in the
staffroom fridges. It would also be a great idea to bring a picnic rug. The school will supply plates
and forks. Don’t forget to bring your own drink bottle. This will also be a mufti day.
PRESENTATION DAY
Presentation Day this year will be run as two ceremonies on Wednesday 11 December 2019. The K-2 ceremony will be held at
9:30am where all Kindergarten students will be performing a song and receive a ‘Graduation’ certificate. The 3-6 ceremony will
be held at 10:20am and we anticipate it will conclude by 11:30am. Invitations have been posted to the families of students who
will be receiving awards, however, all families are invited. We hope you will be able to join us at the ceremony.
SRC NUDE FOOD INITIATIVE This Thursday December 5th our school will be doing a nude food day. Our SRC has come up with this as a wellbeing initiative during Wellbeing Week, to help our environment and to reduce the amount of rubbish our school makes every day. What is nude food? Nude food is food that doesn’t come with any excess packaging or any other rubbish. To promote this initiative, students will be allowed to wear mufti on the day if they bring a ‘payment’ of nude food in their lunchbox. If you don’t bring nude food you can keep the rubbish in your lunch box and keep it there until you get home where you can throw it out. The SRC thanks you for your support in keeping our school a healthy and happy place. --Emily and the SRC
SPORT
There is no PSSA sport or training this week.
PSSA 2020 TRIALS – AFL ONLY
We will be holding AFL trials this Friday 6 December for PSSA 2020 sport. Trial times are: Seniors: 9.30am - 11.00am Juniors: 11.30am - 1.00pm Students will have the opportunity to do warm up, skills and run through the rules to play a game. Students are to wear their sport uniform. Students DO NOT need to bring anything for the trials – no need for mouthguards or football boots. There will be one more trial early next year. UNIFORM SHOP Week 9
The Uniform shop will only have ONE more open day this term on Thursday 12 December from 9:15am to 9:45am. Orders left at
the office will be filled in between and leading up to the 12 December. Please note there will be no orders filled after 12
December so please place your orders before then.
The shop will reopen on the first day back to school on Wednesday 29 January 2020 and will open fortnightly after that on
Thursday 13 February onwards with orders being filled in between those dates.
A big thank you to our lovely parent volunteers Kim Hescott, Monica Morrison and other parent helpers for their huge commitment in looking after our uniform shop and our families. We cannot thank you enough for your time and commitment!

WELLBEING HOMEWORK
The SRC would like to wish everyone a happy Wellbeing Week! Each student has or will be receiving a copy of the Wellbeing Week homework to complete instead of normal class homework this week. We encourage families to work together to complete these tasks and have students record a brief reflection of their experience on the back. Some of the SRC students will

be running a 'Dungeons and Dragons' club on Thursday as a special Wellbeing Week lunchtime activity. Additionally, the Pagewood Public School staff have been working on an extra special wellbeing surprise for the students this coming Wednesday. The SRC will also be running a Nude Foods Mufti initiative on Thursday, December 15th. This initiative is being run to help our environment and to reduce the amount of rubbish our school makes every day. What is nude food? Nude food is food that doesn’t come with any excess packaging or any other rubbish. To promote this, students will be allowed to wear mufti on the day if they bring a ‘payment’ of nude food in their lunchbox. If you don’t bring nude food you can keep the rubbish in your lunch box and keep it there until you get home where you can throw it out. We look forward to a week full of positive energy and wellbeing at Pagewood. Thank you for your support in keeping our school a healthy and happy place.
