Principals Report

Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members

LNPSSA Sports update

Congratulations to the students who took part in the LNPSSA

AFL trials last week. The students were involved in a

development session then played several games.

Congratulations to Jonah Allen, Luca Deaton, Cody McCallum

and Jack Evans who have been selected in the LNPSSA AFL

Team. These students will join others from the

Leeton/Narrandera area on the 22nd

March to contest the

Riverina Championships!

Good luck to our students participating in the LNPSSA Rugby

League trials tomorrow at Parkview School. Also, best of luck

to all our Stage 3 students who will be participating and

competing in the LNPSSA Soccer Gala Day this Friday.

Clean Up Australia Day

A big thank you to all that came along to our community Clean

up Australia event, as well as all of the teachers who helped on

the day.

Parent Information Sessions- Best Start – Tuesday 13th

March

On Tuesday 13th of March at 6.30pm (in the KF classroom) we

will be holding a parent information session for all Kindergarten

parents to explain the Best Start testing procedure and assist

Monday, 5 March 2018 Term 1, Week 6

in understanding the reports that all students have received

after completing these tests.

Tell them from me student feedback survey (Term 1, 2018)

This term, our school, like many other public schools in the

state, will participate in a Department of Education initiative:

the Tell them from me student feedback survey. The survey

measures factors that are known to affect academic

achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the

NSW-wide survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and

effective teaching practices.

More information about the survey is available at:

http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au

The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us

with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about

school life, how engaged they are with school and the different

ways that teachers interact with them. More than 6,300

schools in Australia and around the world have used Tell them

from me to survey 5.4 million students. Capturing the voices of

our students will help improve how we do things at our school.

I want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey

is conducted online and will typically take less than 30 minutes

to complete. It will be administered during school hours

between 12 March and 13 April. Participating in the survey is

entirely voluntary.

A consent form and FAQs for parents/carers about the survey

is being sent home with students. If you do not want your child

or children to participate, please return the form to school by

Monday 12th

March, 2018. Copies of the form and FAQs are

available from: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-

parents.

P &C Meeting – Tuesday 13th

March 7:30pm

The next P&C meeting will take place in the Primary staff room

on Tuesday 13th

March commencing at 7:30pm. Everyone is

encouraged to come along to this meeting.

Attendance

Last week our Home School Liaison Officer completed

a Roll Check. It was disappointing to see the number of

students that have already been absent a number of

days in 2018. As parents, it is your responsibility to

ensure that your child attends school on a regular

basis.

If your child is absent, it is important to ensure that you

provide the school with an explanation for this absence.

If sick and under the care of a Doctor it is good practise

to obtain a Medical Certificate to explain these

absences.

Getting to and from school safely

Please remember to cross at the school crossing

holding your child’s hand. Streets around schools are

very busy in the mornings and afternoons. Please do

not stop or park your car on or near any pedestrian

crossing and observe all safety and no stopping signs.

Children aged between four and seven must be secured in a

forward facing child restraint or booster seat. Also please do

not park your car across school carpark entry/exit areas and

this can cause problems for people needing to enter or exit

these areas in an emergency.

P&C Day

P&C Day will be held this Wednesday 7th March. Come

dressed up in your favourite outfit starting with either a “P” or

“C” and please bring a gold coin donation. I am, looking

forward to a great day of dress up fun!

Learning about Learning

How2learn?

Why dispositions for Learning

Helping students develop a repertoire of effective dispositions

and habits for learning means that students will be ready,

willing and able to face the constant challenges of learning.

We want students who are inclined to want to learn, to

question, to find out more, as well as to have the grit and

determination required to stick with their learning.

Dispositions reflect the different resources we draw upon when

learning. We are all different so it is only natural that we have

different ways of approaching learning situations. Learning

about the dispositions helps us support students to develop

overall learning fitness whereby they can call upon their social,

emotional, cognitive, strategic and ethical resources when

required.

Keep an eye out for updates about HOW2Learn and the

essential learning habits in coming newsletters!

http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents




As always, I would like to reiterate to all parents that if you

have a concern or query regarding your child's education

please make an appointment to see the relevant classroom

teacher or appropriate Executive Member to further discuss

the matter. Parents are asked to address any emails to our

school email address. These emails will then be forwarded to

the appropriate teacher. It is important that concerns be initially

addressed with classroom teachers as often issues can be

addressed quickly.

Vegetable Week

A big thank you to the many

parents/carers who got behind Vegie

Week and sent their children in with

vegie snacks. 222 students took part

in the BIG VEGIE CRUNCH last

carrot sticks a regular Crunch’n Sip snack. Much cheaper than

fruit and way more durable!!
