12 May 2020 Term 2 – Week 3

11/05/2020 Students still working from home begin to return to school.

Welcome to week 3. We have seen many children begin to return now and it is so nice to see all the smiling faces. To

assist us with planning, could parents please make contact with the school, if you require your child/ren to return 5

days a week.

We would like to announce to our community the wonderful, happy and sad news

regarding Mrs Stanton. We are very proud to announce that Mrs Stanton has received a

promotion and will be taking over the role of School Administration Manager at Toormina

High School next term. We are very happy for her and know she will be dearly missed.

Toormina High School have a very special individual coming there way.

Social distancing of adults and hygiene practices are in full swing with students and adults

washing hands and sanitizing regularly. We also have our enhanced cleaning and surfaces

are being repeatedly cleaned over the day. We would like to reinforce that, at this time,

parents should only come onto school grounds if they are collecting or delivering learning packs to the office. Please

do not visit classrooms. Our drop off and collection zone is at the front of the school and we remind parents not to

use the pool carpark. It is also recommended that parents remain in or near their car and please maintain social

diatancing with each other while outside the school gate. This process has been working really well and we thank the

parents for doing your best to assist us. Don’t forget your name tag and if you have not received a tag, please let us

know.

Every day your child is returning to school, they are required to bring the loaned school device that they have been

using for home learning. If children are returning full time, these devices need to be returned and not taken home

again. Thank you for looking after these devices so well. Every device has been returned in wonderful condition.

The year 6 shirts have arrived and must be paid for on collection from the office. They look fantastic and year 6 are so

proud of their design.

Please continue to remind students in this transition back to school that the code of behaviour still exists. We have

issued a few warnings to allow time for this transition to settle, however behaviour expectations have not changed.

Staff are moving to the Departments on line bahaviour tracking system. This will record positive and negative

behaviours. This week students will begin to receive merit awards again. If your child is working from home, they may

also receive merit awards and parents will be notified through email or a letter posted home. The merit award will be

waiting at school for your child to receive on their return.

We are still awaiting advice in regard to the school camp however at this time it is still postponed. More information

will be notified in the next few weeks and we will refund payments when required.

Stay Safe and have a great week,

Deanie Nicholls

Student School Banking The health, safety and wellbeing of our communities and our people remains our highest priority. Due to the ongoing

uncertainty surrounding coronavirus, the School Banking program will remain on hold. We will continue to monitor

the situation and keep you informed with any updates including how we will be managing Dollarmite tokens for

students.

In the meantime, here are some handy online resources for parents who wish to maintain momentum with their child’s

financial education:

Start Smart: these resources have been created to improve children’s money management skills, and is aligned to the

Australian Curriculum and the National Consumer Financial Literacy Framework.

The Beanstalk: offers videos and fun activities for children to learn about money.

We are ready and have begun our Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2020. Again, this year we are asking students in Years 3-6 to enter their own reading into the Premier’s Reading Challenge site. This is found through the student portal and all students have been shown how to do this. Teachers are happy to support students do this as well. Building ownership of learning is just another important step in creating independent learners. Students in K-2 will all participate in the challenge as well. Their class teachers will enter their reading logs for them. In an approved series of books on the PRC booklist (found on the website), you can read any 3 books as PRC books.

The certificates you can receive for completing the Challenge are:
