Dear Parents and Caregivers

After a solid term of learning, many students and teachers are now completing assessments and exams. This term

we will email report cards to parents and caregivers as a trial for the issuing of report cards. A mid-semester

interim report card will be issued to students in Year 6 to Year 10. If you would like a printed hard copy of your

child/children’s report card please contact the office.

We have received the feedback from the Priority Support School Review. Thank you to all members of our school

community who provided feedback to the reviewers. A copy has been placed on our website (see link below). https://dimbulahss.eq.edu.au/supportandresources/formsanddocuments/documents/2020/eib_dimbulah%20state%20school_executive%20summary_2020.pdf

Yesterday our Year 6

students attended the

Indigenous Youth

Parliament in Cairns.

Tyriahna Starkey, Janice

Lyall, Anthea Archer and

Dylan Cobb participated in

a youth parliamentary

debate under the watchful

eye of the speaker of the

house, the Hon Mr Curtis

Pitt. Students performed

the role of members of the

opposition and spoke for

and against motions about

recognising eminent

Indigenous Australians and

the establishment of

regional recycling centres.

Students also spent time

with our local member, the

Hon Mr Shane Knuth,

Member for Hill.

Mr Jason Kurfurst will be

finishing at Dimbulah State

School next Thursday. Mr Kurfurst will be moving to Mareeba State High School, to take up a position in the

special education unit. Special education is Mr Kurfurst’s preferred teaching area. I would like to thank Mr

Kurfurst for his work at DSS across the last two years. We wish him every success in his new role.

On Thursday 17 September we will be running our inter-house cross country. The day will begin at 9.00am with

the lower primary fun run and conclude with the secondary student’s event starting at approximately 10.10am.

Details are still being finalised and will be communicated shortly. After the completion of the cross country

students in Year 2 to Year 9 will participate in a class-swap fundraiser organised by the Student Council.

Our first Prep Open day will occur next Friday 11 September. ALL members of the community are welcome and

invited to come and see first-hand the great learning opportunities which our school provides. Please come

along, enjoy a cuppa and have a look.

Regards

Tuki Brown

National Bullying. No Way! Day was another casualty of covid-19. However, students at Dimbulah State School were

given a reminder of the support available at school and external sources including https://bullyingnoway.gov.au/

and KidsHelpline 1800 1800 55 1800 . These sources provide great information and resources for all students and

families to access at any time.

Our School Nurse Sam and GO Ms. Zupp set up a display at lunchtime for students to come along and have a chat

about what bullying might look like and more importantly, what they can do to stop this from happening, not only to

themselves, but also their friends. Students were given some promotional material including arm bands, bag tags

and contact information for support networks.

Mrs Cagnola rewarded these four students for demonstrating leadership during an activity with younger

students. Well done! (Don’t tell Mr Brown about the Flake bars, they’re his favourite!)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY from

Tuesday’s 2nd break Art Club.

After two weeks of no Art Club, we crafted some

birds on Tuesday 25th August. Most of the birds

flew away before we could photograph them.

These were the only ones that stayed around for a

photo.
