Principal’s Message P&C Week 3

Our next P&C meeting is on Tuesday 7 August at 7pm. At this meeting we

have two guest speakers. Janice Gooden, the Principal of Lucas Heights

Community School will be talking about programs and opportunities for

students. Parents are most welcome to come along and ask her any questions

about LHCS. Cr Steve Simpson will also be there to discuss safety concerns

and suggestions for safety improvements for the areas surrounding the

school now that the pedestrian bridge has been removed. Kinder 100 Days of Learning

There were some crazy hair styles at school on kinder students and staff on

Tuesday when we celebrated 100 days of learning. Students participated in

lots of fun activities throughout the day and into the evening. Many parents

attended the evening session to participate in fun activities with their child.

The afternoon was very successful and our Facebook page received lots of

positive feedback from the community. Education Week

Week 3 Term 3 is Education Week where public schools celebrate the

achievements of students across Key Learning Areas and in extracurricular

activities. We are looking forward to seeing lots of parents and family

friends on site for the Open Day on Wednesday 8 August. Full details of our

celebrations are in the flyer in this Grapevine. STEM

STEM education is the learning of science, technology, engineering and

mathematics in an integrated approach. Students gain and apply knowledge,

deepen their understanding and develop creative and critical thinking skills

within an authentic context. It may include inquiry and project-based

learning. STEM is part of our Strategic Plan and is a focus with Mrs Tobias

and Miss Hibbard in RFF. To further strengthen the implementation of

STEM, teachers are currently working together on integrating STEM into

Key Learning Areas.

Nicole Power and Sheridan Smith

Primary Dance Ensemble Coordinators

On Tuesday 31 August 2018 the Girls Basketball Knockout Team played Sarah Redfern Public School at

Sutherland Basketball Stadium in the 5th round of the NSW PSSA Basketball Knockout Competition.

It was a difficult task for Sarah Redfern as they unfortunately had no substitutions. With illness and injury

our girls also had to play a lot of minutes as we only had one substitution.

Our girls certainly worked as a team and demonstrated outstanding defense. They were able to continue to

build their skills and communication and stretch the lead throughout the game, winning 46 to 20. I was so

impressed with their amazing effort and we

really enjoyed playing this game. Great spirit

was demonstrated by both teams.

Congratulations on a fantastic effort girls! You

have now won the Sydney East and Sydney

South West division. We will now take on the

winner of Sydney West to see who makes it to

the State Finals. Good luck girls. Sheridan Smith & Nicole Power

BOOK WEEK PERFORMANCE—K-6 INCURSION

Each year, schools and libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books, as well as Australian authors

and illustrators. Teachers and librarians conduct activities relating to the Book Week theme to highlight the

importance of reading and to celebrate Australian children’s literature. Book Week is celebrated in schools

during Week 5 (18-24 August 2018).

This year’s Book Week Theme is Find Your Treasure. As part of our Book Week celebrations we have a

visiting performance called “Treasure Hunt”. The performance is provided by Perform Educational Musicals

and is a multi award-winning theatrical producer and one of the largest touring theatre companies throughout

Australia and New Zealand. They have been operating for over eighteen years and provide a highly interactive,

comedic performance. Their performance will feature a selection of the Children’s Book Council 2018

Shortlisted books.

The performance will take place in the school hall on Thursday 23 August 2018 (Week 5) and the cost for each

student is $6.50. Please send your permission note and money to school, via the money collection box, by

Wednesday 15 August 2018 (Week 4).

Students in Kindergarten, Years 1 & 2 will have their performance in the hall 12.20pm – 1.35pm.

Students in Years 3 – 6 will have their performance in the hall 2.10pm – 3.20pm.

I know this is an enjoyable and valuable experience for the students and another way for us to celebrate

literacy in Book Week 2018.

The Bangor PS Year 6 Farewell will be held at Club

Menai on Thursday 6 December 2018.

In order to cover costs and minimise the impact

on families with several fundraising events,

parents are asked to pay $20 towards the cost of

the evening for their child. This would include

food and drinks, invitations, decorations, a small

gift to each student and the DVD we provide at

the end of the year.

The students will coordinate only two fundraising

events and the school will subsidise the remaining

costs of the event.

Students are invited to Parc Menai prior to the

event to meet for photos- more details will follow

regarding time. There will be no formal photo

opportunities; however, at the end of the evening,

when you join us, you are able to take photos.

We will also ask Year 5 parents to volunteer to set

up the decorations on the evening. A ‘Pay It Forward’ idea that will continue each year. This

frees up parents of Year 6 students to participate

in all the fun dressing, hair etc preparations and

of course the photos at Parc Menai.

Please return payment and note to the office by

Friday 24 August 2018. Denise Alexander
