NEWSLETTER ISSUE No. 10 2019
As Term 2 comes to an end I would like to take this opportunity to wish our entire school
community – staff, students and parents – a safe and relaxing holiday break. I trust everyone
will take the opportunity to recharge their batteries and spend some quality time with family and
friends.
For those who are travelling, I wish you a safe trip and look forward to hearing of these travels
next term.
Staff return to school on Monday 22nd July and will be engaged in professional learning
activities.
Students return on Tuesday 23rd July.
STAFF CHANGES – TERM 3
Mrs Reid will be on long service leave for the duration of Term 3. As a result of this, Ms Kylie
Mathwin has been appointed to take the Year 1/2 class on Thursdays and Fridays. Ms Mathwin
is familiar with the students and the programs in place in this class, meaning there will be
minimal disruption to the program.
Miss Rebecca Clayton has been appointed as the Visual Arts teacher and this program will
continue on Wednesdays.
I would like to congratulate Ms Mathwin and Miss Clayton on their appointments and I am sure
everyone will make them both feel very welcome in our school community.
ICT UPGRADE
The school is currently in the process of upgrading and replacing a number of desktop
computers. The new computers (running Windows 10) will replace those which are no longer
able to be upgraded to the new operating system.
As well as replacing these desktop computers, we are also investigating the lease of additional
laptops to provide greater access and flexibility in all classrooms (Years 1-6). This will ultimately
see each class have 12 laptops available, in addition to the desktop computers which are also
in the teaching areas.
LIGHTNING CARNIVAL
It was very unfortunate that the weather for this event was so inclement that I made the
decision to withdraw our students from the day. Whilst they were no doubt disappointed, I have
been impressed with the way students conducted themselves once the decision was made.
They are to be congratulated for this and I am sure parents will be as proud of them as we are
at school.
Thank you to those parents who have taken the time to share their support for the decision that
was made. These decisions are problematic, but the school will always consider the best
interests of students’ safety and well-being in these situations.

CROSS COUNTRY
We were very fortunate yesterday to be able to conduct our school cross country event. The
weather was ideal for the entire event and I would like to congratulate all students on their
endeavour and attitude to what can be quite a gruelling event.
I would also like to thank our Phys Ed teacher, Mrs Holmes, whose organisation of the event
ensured it ran very smoothly. Selected students (Yr 3—6 only) will be competing (weather
permitting) in the Interschool Cross Country to be held at MacDonald Reserve on Friday 2nd
August.
Students will be selected based upon their results at the cross country yesterday and a series of
time trials to be conducted by Mrs Holmes.

CHOIR SHIRTS
Our music teacher, Mrs Alban, has been working
with the choir and one of our parents, Jaye Muir,
to design a shirt for the choir members to wear
at performances. The students all created their
own designs for consideration and the final
product is an amalgamation of 4 students’
designs. The colours match the school logo and
the rest of the design clearly identifies our school
and the group.

INCURSIONS
On Friday 28th June, Musica Viva bought their Doctor
Stovepipe show to Padbury Primary School. Starting from the 1930’s and using a fiddle, double
bass and a guitar, the trio transported us through time into different musical eras. This included
playing swing time, rock and roll and even 1980’s rock.

Save…Spend….Give with Bunnings Workshop: Tuesday 2nd July 2019 Room 15 (Year 3/4)
What do you do with your pocket money?
Bunnings Activities Organiser, Pieta and her assistant Donna
have designed a new, fun way for us to share our money into
these
categories. On Tuesday afternoon they came prepared with the
tools for us to make our Money Sorter!
We constructed our new money savers with MDF, plant pots and
special “Chubbies” paints. We hot glued our pots onto the MDF
board and created our signs for out “Spend” “Save” and “Give”
pots. These are now ready for us to fill with our pocket money!
We are very privileged to have an excellent partnership with
Bunnings Whitfords. This project activity was a trial as Bunnings
are possibly adding it to their range of workshops on offer to
children and schools. We were very lucky to be a “test” class for
their new project!
THANK YOU BUNNINGS and PIETA!

Room 8 Assembly—Thursday 4th July
The Year Ones and Twos presented a fantastic assembly today where they all spoke so well and confidently on the microphone to their audience of anticipating year one and two family members and peers. They children did an item which outlined just some of the many spelling rules that they have learned this year. They also showcased one of their Talk For Writing model texts "A Squash and a Squeeze" by retelling it to the audience. It was an interactive show with audience participation and the choir helped us to sing the National Anthem. We are now looking forward to the next class Assembly next term, which will be the year 3 and 4s!
