Principal’s Message

Well where did that week go?? Well done to all our athletes for their effort and behaviour on Tuesday. There will no doubt be many of you going on to Zone to represent the Kyogle District. On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons we managed to complete the Spelling Bee for stages 2 and 3. Congratulations to Madelyn Maloney, Laci Newman, Iddo Adar and Julia Rankin who will go on to represent our school. I will be on Long Service Leave next week and Donna will be in my seat. This gives an

opportunity for Stew Grace to begin a successful transition onto 3/4C as he will be doing

Donna’s Maternity Leave until the end of the year.

2W News Feature 2W have been busy this term with the following:

Persuasive Writing We are learning how to state clearly an opinion and to supply reasons and specific examples that support our opinion. We are using the following words to try to convince our audience. I disagree/agree, I believe, I think, I reckon, strongly, You must, I urge you to, I definitely, Surely

Music with Mr Nolan We are loving going to the music room and learning music. We are learning to keep the beat and recognise high and low notes. Project Based Learning We are organising our own PBL party. We have four planning committees - Party Treats, Decorations, Invitations and Games. We hope to have our party as soon as it is totally organised. Concert Practise. Mrs Little is busy teaching us our dance moves to the movie Grease. It’s heaps of fun. Here’s a sneak preview of our costumes.

Due to a clash of dates with the zone athletics The School Photographer will now be returning to KPS on Monday, 20 August for the whole school photo and Sport Team photos. Please have your child dressed in full school uniform and have their sports uniform if they are apart of a representative sporting team.

Kindergarten Orientation During term 3 Sue Landers has been visiting the feeder Preschools to get to know the children attending Kyogle Public next year. These visits give the pre-schoolers a familiar face for when they attend ‘big school’ and supports the transition program. We are able to identify any individual needs and social groups of the children that will be attending in 2019. Our formal Orientation program will commence in term 4. If you have any more questions or would like extra support please contact Sue. Also, enrolment forms are due asap to facilitate our planning for the program.

Grandparents Day One of the most popular community events we hold every year is Grandparents Day. The children are always very excited to have their ‘grandies’ visit the school. It is a day to celebrate the contribution grandparents have on the school community and families. So mark Wednesday 12 September on your calendars. The event will be held at the school in the afternoon. More details as it gets closer to the date.

What’s happening

District Athletics Carnival 2018 On Tuesday 7th August, our school had 87 students compete at the District Athletics Carnival.

The students who competed on the day represented our school with pride, displaying excellent

sportsmanship and behaviour. We won the Kyogle District merit shield for another year! Some

of our students also won age champion awards for the carnival, which is a credit to their hard

work.

Thank you to Mr Ludwig, Mr Green, Mr Davies, Bruce and parents that helped out on the day. A

special thank you also to Miss Fields for all of her support behind the scenes. Information for

students who will be moving on to the zone level carnival will be coming out shortly. Thank you to

the students for a fantastic day!

Miss Marshall

Last Tuesday the U/10’s travelled to Sydney for the annual All Schools Rugby League State Knockout. We played 3 games in our pool, losing only by a try in each game. The results were 14-12, 20-16 & 16-14. They all played exceptionally well, showed great sportsmanship and should be very proud of their awesome achievements. As usual the players in Sydney were huge, but that didn’t stop our boys from putting in 100%. Well done! A big thank you to all the parents who came, Mrs. Grace for making the trip possible and to Tracey for running the water. Regards Mark
