Winter Carnival 2019

What’s On:

Last Day Term 2 Fri 5th July

First Day Term 3 Tue 23rd July

I cannot believe that term 2 is coming to an end – the

time has just flown by!

Semester One Reports and 3 Way Conferences

Semester One reports were emailed to families on

Monday. There was a centralised system glitch and

some families did not receive their children’s report. I

have resent those I am aware of. If you did not receive

your child’s report in your inbox, check your junk/spam

email box and if it is not there, please contact the

school and I will resend it to you.

A huge thank you to all our families that took the

opportunity to meet with teachers to discuss student

progress and achievement in semester one, and

participate in goal setting for semester two. We had

86% of families attend 3 way conferences – this is

amazing. If you were unable to attend, please contact

your child’s teacher to arrange an alternate time to

meet. What a supportive school community and

dedicated staff we have – no wonder Bindoon Primary

School is such a wonderful school.

Winter Carnival

On Friday 21 June, students from year four to six

travelled to Bullsbrook College to represent our school

at the annual Winter Carnival in netball, soccer and

AFL. Congratulations to all those who attended. We

were not able to bring back any trophies this year, but

your children displayed exemplary behaviour and

sportpersonship. They reflected our behaviour

expectations throughout the day and should be very

proud of their efforts. Thank you to staff and parents

who assisted on the day.

School Dress Code

Thank you for taking on board the message in the

last newsletter – it is wonderful to see students

consistently and proudly wearing the appropriate winter

uniform.

NAIDOC week

On Monday and Tuesday students participated in a

variety of activities to celebrate NAIDOC. They looked

amazing in their Reconciliation t-shirts and reported that

really enjoyed working in their multiage groups. A huge

thank you to our senior students who looked after the

younger students in their groups and ensured that they

were in the right place at the right time. Thank you to

staff who arranged the activities to engage the students.

Thank you also to Cindy Bin Omar for her organisation

of the day, as well as organising our Reconciliation Day

and the Moorditj Mob Dance Troop.

Staffing

Thank you to Taryn Willock who has acted as my

deputy for the last five weeks. You did a wonderful job

and I hope you learned lots from the experience. Taryn

will be returning to the year five class at the start of term

3.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Aimee

Ball who has relieved in the year one class, while Katy

Fulker (Harding) has been on long service leave, and

Kay Lambourne who has relieved in the year five class,

while Taryn has been acting deputy. It has been

wonderful to have you both on our staff.

Glen Bewick will be returning as Principal in term 3 and

I will return to the deputy role.

Kindergarten Enrolments

Please remember to enrol your children for

Kindergarten in 2020, if they turn four by 30 June 2020.

Enjoy the school holidays and stay safe, warm and

healthy. Staff returns on 22 July for a school

development day and we will welcome students back

on Tuesday 23 July.
