What's On

LEADERSHIP REPORT Welcome back to term 2 at TBAS. We are already back and fully immersed in the learning experiences on offer throughout the school. It is inspiring to walk through our classrooms and be involved in conversations about the learning intent, challenges posed, success criteria for tasks and how these relate to individual goals for students. ANZAC DAY During the holidays we were invited to join the Dawn Service and pay our respects to service men and women in past and present times. We had representatives from our Student Voice to lay the wreath on behalf of Tumby Bay Area School and were proud of the reverence with which they conducted themselves.

PUPIL FREE DAY On Wednesday 22

nd May we have a Pupil Free Day to enable our staff to work with Anne

Bayetto, an expert in the field of Literacy and specifically Reading Comprehension. This continues our site focus on increasing achievement in reading to impact our results R-12 and will address the challenges of practice we have set ourselves within the Site Improvement Plan. Thank you to our parents for their support of this. Our staff will be working hard and students can have the day off! HEADSPACE Thank you to those parents who attended our parent seminar on Tuesday night it was a great opportunity to hear about the impacts of mental health, wellbeing and how we can begin conversations with the young people in our lives. There are some fabulous resources available via the headspace website https://headspace.org.au/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp_nX9vSK4gIV0YBwCh2DvAw3EAAYASAAEgI9ZPD_BwE and one we all found particularly useful through Beyond Blue which is worth sharing https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/have-the-conversation/talking-to-a-young-person Today our Year 7-12 students have had the opportunity to attend a workshop and reflect upon how they can positively impact their mental health, how to access help if needed and resources available to support them. We are pleased to be working in partnership with an organisation of such high calibre to support our young people at TBAS. NAPLAN ON-LINE NAPLAN On-line (The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) will be held next week on Tuesday 14th May to Friday 17th May. This will be for the Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students. This year, the testing will on-line as computer based assessments except for Year 3 writing. We really value the data gained from this testing to assist us with our improvement journey.

All Smiles on Return from Work Experience

Gavin Hammond Senior Secondary Leader

As many of you would know, our Year 10 students were out for the final week of Term 1 while on Work Experience. During the week, our staff visited or contacted the students and their employer. The feedback they returned with was unanimously positive! Reports have been coming in from the respective employers during the weeks following and they are confirming this sentiment. Congratulations to this cohort of students who conducted themselves in a manner which has brought credit to themselves, their families and our school! We are very grateful for the businesses and organisations who have willingly supported our school and the Year 10 students in particular by hosting them for this period. These are listed below. If the reports received so far are anything to go by, these students have a bright future to look forward to in the world of work beyond school! Our sincere thanks go to… Atkinson Auto Electrical, Walker Smith General Builders, Baptist Care SA, Steve Trezise Electrical, ABC EP radio, Pt Lincoln Times, Tumby Bay Kindy, Lincoln Veterinary Centre, Richards Lock N Safe -Whyalla, Orroroo Area School Pre-school & Reception/Year 1 class, Vets on Eyre, Tumby Bay Area School Year 3/4 & 1/2 classes and

grounds-staff, Butler General Builders, Anna Creek Station, Poonindie Community Learning Centre Reception/Year 1

class, Sekol Farmed Tuna I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Feebi Hazelgrove, our PLP (SACE Stage 1 Personal Learning Plan) teacher for the great work she did in creating this opportunity for these students.

INFLUENZA A There has been much publicity in the media about the high impact of the flu and the associated health risks. With already several reported cases of Influenza A in our community, it is crucial that students who have suspected flu symptoms visit the doctor and stay away from school until they are no longer contagious to prevent the spread of this serious health risk.

The Egg Plant During the holidays the school welcomed 4 Isa Brown Chickens which were kindly donated

by Fizza Stratford from Secret Rocks Egg Farm. They have settled into their new home

well, which was constructed last year by Mardi Masson, Olivia Turner and Jessie Sheehan,

as their PBL project.

We would like to thank Michael Butler for guiding us on the construction and helping out

Tumby Bay & Districts OSHC & Vacation Care T2 wk. 2 2019

In Vacation Care we discussed the history of the ANZAC involvement in the Gallipoli landing. We displayed old artefacts including a 1916 German Helmet, a 1911 bellows camera, WW I seaman’s identity papers, watches and WW II canned US Army ration tins.

Children tried on the WW I German Helmet and were

surprised how heavy it was. Some parents commented that they would not be able to wear a helmet like this all

day, fighting in a war.

We welcomed a new family Isaac, Kaylee, Akey-la and Oliver to our OSHC family, they fitted right in, the freedom to move equipment, set up new areas as they made new friends.

Welcome to our new staff member

Carmen Richardson who is studying her Certificate in Children’s services

Thank you to Pei, Sarah, Anastasia you have all inspired the children to collaborate

together, share fun, excitement and new learning during Vac Care .

Thank you to the OSHC & Vac Care families for using our service during the holidays, we hope you have been inspired as your children have talked to you about what happens each day they attended. Please give us any feedback and suggestions so we can continue to cater for your needs. We averaged 8 children person session.
