News from the Principal Coming up in the last few weeks of term is surely a busy time for students, staff and families. At this time of the year teachers are busy with final assessments, tracking student achievement and analysing the results. On parade I have been talking to students about the effort meter and how this relates to effort marks on report cards. When I am reading student report cards the effort for each subject is as important as the final mark. We encourage all children to be putting in red level effort! This will correlate to an A on your child’s report card. Report cards will be handed out on Monday 10th December. If you would like an interview with your child’s classroom teacher please arrange a

time for the last week of school- Monday 10th- Friday 14th December.

2019 ENROLMENTS NOW OPEN!

Harrisville State School is now taking enrolments for all year levels for 2019! Please see the office for an enrolment pack and encourage your and family to enrol at our beautiful school.

All new enrolments are welcome to come along from 8:30- 2:30. Please talk to our principal about our Move Up day! All children enjoy this day each year.

All Family and friends welcome to attend. A program of events will be coming home

soon! Please see below for what our children need for costumes. If you have any questions please talk to your child’s classroom teacher. A huge thank you to our P&C for funding the cost of employing dance teachers this term! All students benefit from learning from professional dance teachers! THANK YOU! Prep - The Unbirthday Song - Bright coloured clothes like a birthday party. Grade 1 - Fixer Upper – Rock trolls- greens and greys (as in the picture below). Mrs White will sort out flowers/ leaves as required.

Grade 2 - Hakuna Matata- They can dress as animals, or have one item that represents a particular animal (a trunk, mane, ears, tail etc.). The kids might even have animal onesies at home. The kids act like particular animals in one part of the dance, but they don’t necessarily have to dress as those animals. These are their animals: Jacob & William: Elephants Jasmine & Sienna: Birds or bees Sophie & Summer: Crocodiles Imogen & Cooper: Lions Grade 3 - Jungle Rhythm - Jungle colours (greens, browns and floral bright coloured skirts or tops, camo pants with a bright top etc.). You could even have green leafy bracelets or skirts

(like the pictures below )

Grade 4 - Friend Like Me – This song is from Aladdin, so genie/ harem pants if they can be sourced and a bright coloured top (I think there might be some harem pants at Target). Alternatively, you could have them all in just black pants/ tights with a bright coloured top so it looks more uniform). Please talk to Mrs Kuss about options. Grade 5/6 girls - Zero to Hero – This movie is based on Greek mythology, so I’d love to have them in white togas (homemade). I found a video which teaches you how to tie a toga in 3 different ways just using a white sheet. I spoke to the girls about this and asked them to go home and find out if they had a white sheet they could use. They would probably need to wear something underneath in case the sheet is a bit see through or if they do a dance step which will lift the toga a bit (like wearing shorts under a dress). They could accessorize it with a small belt around their waist (like the video) and gold accessories (gold bangles, gold headbands etc.). I’ve spoken to them about this and showed them some examples of what they could wear. How to tie a toga— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTNIlsKzNcA

Grade 5/6 boys - Gaston - Village clothes like in the style of Beauty and the Beast. Gaston (Harry) will need to wear a red shirt like he does in the movie.

YEAR 6 2019 LEADERSHIP APPLICATION Our Year 5 students will be presenting their leadership speeches on parade on either Monday 19th November, or Monday 26th November. Please let Mrs Wilson know if you have a preference to suit work commitments. Mrs Wilson has been working hard to ensure our new leaders for 2019 are ready to take on the responsibility of being a senior leader.
