Hi Everyone,

I hope the harvest season is as successful as possible for anyone currently reaping. As al-

ways, please continue to remind truck drivers to be aware of school buses and speed

limits. The end of the year is fast approaching and it is starting to feel very Christmassy

with all the decorations in the school. Pop in and have a look if you can. Also, don’t for-

get to let us know if you want to order a school magazine.

Teaching and Learning

Last Monday, staff met for a full day to analyse

all of the student achievement and growth data

from the last 2 years. We discussed the site im-

provement plan, the progress we have made this

year, and the directions we recommend for next

year. We then worked collaboratively to develop

individual learning programs for each student for

2018 based on our data review. It is a great

strength of our school that teachers can collabo-

rate on individualised programs for every student

based on their learning needs.

The governing council has been discussing the

need for a defibrillator here at the school. As a

result, we have purchased and installed an out-

side unit. See page 5 for more details.

We have included a year planner for 2018 on

the back page. At this stage we only have infor-

mation for term 1, but we will update it as dates

become known.

The 2018 C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships open on Monday 4th December and close on Friday

5th January 2018.

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships are one of the most generous privately funded scholarships

available to undergraduate students in Australia. Each residential scholarship is valued at

up to $60,000 over three years.

Information about the C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship and an application form are available

at www.hawkerscholarship.org or by contacting the secretary to the Trustees on:

08 8127 1654.

The Charles Hawker Scholarship perpetuates the memory of scholar, soldier and

pastoralist Charles Allan Seymour Hawker and commemorates the achievements of one

of Australia’s most respected statesmen.

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships have been presented by Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce

AC, Australia’s Chief Scientist Professor Ian Chubb AC, South Australian Premier Hon Jay

Weatherill MP, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Hawker family

member Hon David Hawker AO and former Governor-General The Hon Major General

Michael Jeffery AC.

The scholarships are available to all Australian students. The majority have been awarded

to students entering their first year of university study.

Selection is largely based on personal qualities and demonstrated leadership as well as

academic ability. Undergraduate Hawker Scholars are able to attend a range of

Australian educational institutions.

Yours sincerely

Ian Doyle B Ec. Dip Ed.

SCHOOL EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR

There is a AED (Automated External Defibrillator) posi-

tioned on the entrance wall of Miltaburra Area School..

It has been purchased and installed following Govern-

ing Council discussions. We know that having immedi-

ate access to a defibrillator during a cardiac incident

can significantly increase someone's chance of surviv-

al, so it makes sense to have one in our remote loca-

tion.
