Value: RESPECT
demonstrated by students when they RECOGNISE THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS
Principal’s report: I hope that you are feeling happy, relaxed and ready for another busy term after the holidays.
We had a very exciting finish to last
term, visiting Collingullie Public
School for a Creative Arts and
Public Speaking Day. The activities
were well planned and enjoyed by all.
Congratulations to our public
speaking representatives; Poppy,
Shaun and Sian who spoke clearly and
confidently. These students should
feel proud of themselves as they
achieved something adults have rated
as the most stressful activity, speaking
in front of an audience, and this was a
large audience. Well done. The day
finished with an energetic Zumba
session. Thank you to Mrs Dunn, Principal, Collingullie
School for her organisation.
Welcome to Megan Eulenstein who is very excited to
be teaching K/1 until the end of the year. Ms Eulenstein
has come to know the students through teaching the
class at different times during the first two terms. Ms
van Dijk has arrived safely in Holland and is with her
family. Keep up with her adventures through our Wiki.
There are already photos on this site for you to enjoy.
Mrs McTavish is also in Europe with her sister and
mother, she is enjoying sightseeing and experiencing
other cultures. We will be welcoming her back to
school on August 6.
At our Staff Development Day we updated our
emergency care and resuscitation certification and reviewed the school plan. As part of this review we will
be offering a range of workshops to parents prior to our assemblies this term to inform about the programs
we have in the school in a fun and hands on manner. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to
find out about the activities your children participate in to enhance their learning. The first workshop will be
run by Mrs Driscoll in the library at 2:00pm on Friday 27th July, just prior to our normal school
assembly and will highlight the Accelerated Literacy program and spelling.
We hope you enjoyed sharing your child’s portfolio over the holidays. So that we can begin putting work
samples in ready for the end of the year, would you please return these to school as soon as possible.
Education Week begins on Monday 30 July. We will participating in the celebrations at the Marketplace by
having boards displaying the educational opportunities and activities at Kapooka Public School. 4/5/6 will
be dancing at 11:05am on Wednesday 1st August and our chess team will be competing in the Cargill Chess
Challenge. Please take the time to look at our board during the week and attend any of the activities being
offered.
To complete our celebration of education our Dance Concert is being held at the Kapooka Cinema on
Thursday 2nd August beginning at 6.30pm. The students will showcase the dances they have learnt last
term and the finalists of ‘Kapooka Has Talent’ will perform.
Change of day. The next P & C meeting for this term will be held on a Thursday morning at 9:30am.
Date to be advised. We are still varying the days and times for these meetings to ensure as many people as
possible are able to attend and have input into supporting the school. I am looking forward to seeing you at
this meeting.
