Term 2 13 June 2019 Week 7
GEPS Breakfast Club Starting the day with food and friends!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:15am – 8:50am in the school library
Our Breakfast Club is run by the school and a gold coin donation is
appreciated.
Next Thursday we are very proud to welcome the local
Aboriginal Education Consultative Group to our school. The
AECG rotate the venues for their meetings around each of the
schools, providing the opportunity for the host school to talk
about Aboriginal Education in their school.
GCOPS Concert preparations continue for the choir and
dance groups. Our performance evening will be Wednesday 7
August with tickets going on sale early next term. Once again
we thank the Goulburn Workers Club for donating the use of
the auditorium and side rooms. Thanks to the support of the
students, staff and families, this will be the 16th year of these
concerts. What an incredible achievement for the public
schools of the Goulburn and Crookwell District.
Formal reports are currently being finalised by class teachers
and will be coming home in the final week of the term.
All public schools in NSW are working towards implementing
the Healthy School Canteen Strategy. All canteens must
ensure that their menus are within the guidelines by the end
of 2019 and I would like to thank Lee’arne Campbell for her
work to make sure that our canteen complies within this
timeframe.
And while I’m talking about the canteen… we really do need
some more volunteers! Parents, grandparents, even for a few
hours once a month! Please let the office know if you are able
to help in any way.
For this term we have been focusing on respect at school. We
are noticing that often children speak unkindly, dismissively
or abruptly to their friends and don’t consider how their
friend might feel when that happens. Being kind to one
another is a way of showing respect and this is the message
we are focusing on at school.
Have a great week Charmian Cribb

Bush Tucker
Bush tucker, also called bush food, is food native to Australia. Aboriginal Australians
have used indigenous plants for food and medicine for millennia.

News from 5/6R
5/6R have been studying the different cultures that immigrate to Australia. We have learnt that many of them
came to escape wars and for political reasons, some came to find gold and many more came to Australia for a
better life. Through our readings of ‘The Happiest Refugee’, ‘Chinese Cinderella’ and ‘We are born Free’ we
have come to realise that many migrants brought ideas, food, business and other opportunities to make
Australia great. Did you know that the great surgeon Victor Chang, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, business woman Tan
Le, David Pocock, Kostya Tszyu, Julia Gillard, Dr Nouria Salehi, Les Murray and Daria Gavrilova all migrated to
Australia? Each of them has contributed something truly amazing to our country. 5/6R were asked to research
someone famous or a family member who had migrated to Australia and then prepare a presentation for the
class about why they migrated, difficulties they had in settling into Australia and what contributions they made
to society. All presentations were fantastic and enjoyed by everyone, especially me, I loved them all. The
students were also asked to bring in a dish from their person’s country of origin to share with the class.
Needless to say, on Thursday there was a multicultural feast happening in 5/6R’s room at lunch. It was
spectacular to see the amount of food brought in. All the students were very adventurous and tried a bit of
everything. Pizza, fried rice, and pilly milly dumplings were everyone’s favourite. Mrs Robinson
Reconciliation Week in 4/5M
Students in 4/5M learnt about the Stolen Generations and ‘The Apology’ given by the then Prime Minister
Kevin Rudd. The students watched and discussed the Apology, and interviews with Indigenous Australians.
During this time we also explored the events that occurred from 1910-1970 when Indigenous children were
removed from their families. We completed Sorry Day art work which reflected what we had learnt during
this week.
Soccer Knockout Competition
The boys’ soccer team advanced to the 3rd round of the Soccer Knockout Competition. They played and
defeated Goulburn Public and Bungendore Public School. Round 3 is to be held against Goulburn West. This
game will be a tough one and if we win that one we move onto Round 4!
Parliament House and Reconciliation Place
On Tuesday 11 June Stage 3 visited Parliament House. Once Vice Captain Brody got through security we went
to the Senate and the House of Representatives. It was in the Senate the students established that the roles
and responsibilities of the senate are very different to those in the House of Representatives. We enjoyed
walking through the gallery and seeing the portraits of past Prime Ministers - everybody thought Gough
Whitlam’s portrait was very eye catching. We also ventured up to the roof for some photos, and afterwards we
walked to the park alongside Old Parliament House admiring the spectacular garden. After lunch we visited
Reconciliation Place, where the students were given a tour of the many sculptures and statues that reflect on
the treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and the sad times of our history. Reconciliation Place
also celebrates the success and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and highlights the role
that we all have in moving forward and making sure history doesn’t repeat itself in Australia. Mrs Robinson
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD HAS TO STAY AWAY FROM SCHOOL?
It is important to let the school know when your child will be away and why your child is absent. Parents
have several options of notifying the school of their child’s absence:
by ringing the school on the morning of each day’s absence
by emailing through an explanation of the absence
by sending in a Reason for Absence form on the first day the student returns to school after an
absence.
By sending in a Reason for Absence via the Skoolbag app.
Any note of explanation forwarded to school should contain:
Your child’s name and class
The day(s) and date(s) that your child was absent from school
The reason the child was absent
The signature of the child’s parent or caregiver
An Application for Extended Leave (Travel) must be completed PRIOR to leave being taken for
approval to be considered; otherwise the absences will be marked as unjustified.
If your child is seeing a Doctor due to illness, please request a Medical Certificate covering the date(s)
of the absence(s). Extended absences due to illness are eligible for an Exemption from School if a
Doctor’s Certificate is provided for the entire period of illness.
Second hand books and toys needed!
The 26 students in the Opera House Choir are raising money to assist with their travel
costs to Sydney in September.
All donations of great books and toys which are no longer used and are in good
condition will be greatly appreciated!
Please send in the books or toys by Monday 24 June.
We will be running our stall in the last week of this term.
