Having big numbers meant a few would have to sit out each game, none wanted to. We opened the scoring but at the end of the game they had managed to get one up on us. Our Second game was against Kirwan and the boys were keen to prove a point. As the dust seled on a very one sided affair Ingham was victorious and had managed to hold Kirwan scoreless.

Dear Parents, Thank you to all the parents and extended family who aended our school ANZAC day ceremony. Noeleen Regazzoli and her team Emma Menegon did a brilliant job of organising a commemoraon that made the ANZACS and their sacrifice for our county relevant to our students. We were so very lucky to have Mr Pioo to play the Last Post on a World War 1 bugle. His presentaon was extremely poignant. He also showed the students the bugle that had been used so long ago. It was lovely also to have our Mayor Mr Roger Bow aend the ceremony. These extra facets help our children understand the formal aspects of the ANZAC commemoraons. We were also very proud of our students on Saturday as we had an amazing number of students aend the march. The children’s behaviour was spectacular and our teachers and parents were a brilliant support. Thanks to those wonderful parents and teachers and again special thanks to Noeleen and Emma and also to Peter Moule for their extra input on that day. Cross country will take place on Friday. Nat Erba is amazing when it comes to making sure that everything is organised as ghtly as possible. This year we have decided to have the older students compete first as they have the greatest distance to cover. The children will move to the oval at 8.40am to be marshalled into age groups. The races will begin at 9.10am with the 12 & 13 year old girls. They will be running 3 kilometres. The children will have their lunch on the oval in the tent area. Parents are very welcome to aend. The school has been invited to have a stall at The Tasman Turtle Picnic Day on the 23rd May 2015 from 11.00am – 4.00pm. We will not be able to go ahead with a stall unless we get parents who are willing to volunteer. In the past when we have had raffles and sausage sizzles we have the same people working for the majority of the me. If we have other volunteers then the work is shared. Can you ring the office if you are able to work on that day so we are able to make a decision as to whether we have enough volunteers who will work on that day to aend on that day? Karen and Jarad Venables are donang their coffee and hot chocolate machine for a few hours and Amber Douglas as offered to make the hot drinks. We were considering selling cold drinks at this me. Could you please contact us as soon as possible so that we can let the organisers of the day know? The day involves lots of acvies for children so perhaps you could do some volunteering while your child was involved in acvies. I know that I am oſten wring about my concerns re cyber safety for our students but Privacy Awareness Week runs 3 to 9 May and this year’s theme is ‘Privacy everyday @ work and @ play’. Our teachers are very aware of all guidelines that we have here at school and because of Educaon Queensland’s filters our cyber use involves a fairly closed environment but keeping personal informaon safe online is an important lesson for our students. There is Creep Quiz that your children can take and it has fantasc informaon in it but it is done in a really fun way with five or six characters that explain why they try to get personal informaon. Please take the quiz with your CHILD. Take the Creep Quiz to find our more: www.creepquiz.ed.edu.au Please remember that your child has individual goals at school and we would love it if you would have conversaons with your children regarding what they are learning at school, which books they are enjoying. I went to an In-service around high order thinking and reading yesterday and they emphasised once again that interacve discussions with your child has a strong effect on your child’s academic success. Remember the research that I have wrien about previously and a summary of that research would be that: Parents have the most influence on their children’s educaonal outcomes when they: - have high expectaons for their children - show interest in their children’s learning and development - talk to them about things that interest them - discuss their children’s educaonal and career aspiraons.
