Hi everyone,
Welcome back for semester 2. This semester we will be providing an on-line
and paper copy of our school newsletter. The on-line version allows us to
enhance the quality and size of the newsletter. This will be sent to your email
fortnightly. Please update your email with us if it has changed recently.
This term we will continue to focus on:
• engaging our learners through our specialist pedagogies
• further developing our focus on giving every student a voice and
• continuing to develop our relevant and meaningful curriculum.
Together our staff are continually developing their skills to provide a
personalised and specialised education for all students.
A reminder to all parents that the “Ekka” holiday is now on Friday 14 August.
Keeping students and ourselves safe
As per government regulations we continue to ensure our students, staff and the
wider community maintain healthy and safe practices at school.
There is still a clear expectation for adults to social distance appropriately
in the workplace. Staff and students should continue to frequently wash
hands and/or use sanitiser.
Parents visiting the school should sign-in and use the hand sanitiser
provided. When attending school activities social distancing is expected
from all adults where possible.
When students exhibit illnesses out of the usual, parents will be contacted
to collect their child.
Unwell staff members will remain at home or go home if they become
unwell.
Gotcha Day
Congratulations to the Positive Behaviour for Learning committee for leading a
successful GOTCHA Day. The Disco was such a fun activity. It was fantastic to
see students and staff getting so involved and enthusiastic as they danced and
sang. The Outdoor Learning classroom was used in many different ways which
led to so many students being highly engaged in their learning and having fun.
We are committed to continually developing the range of outdoor learning
opportunities in our school. In the next week we are hosting a meeting of school
leaders from various schools around Brisbane who are committed to innovative
and engaging outdoor learning practices.
Together we can,
Ray

IMPORTANT DATES
Staff Member of the Week
Welcome back to term 3! We have had a great start to the term with students celebrating NAIDOC Week and having our first whole school assembly together, with parents, for many weeks. Students participated in activities such as scratch art boomerangs, shared reading with Dream Time stories and creating an art piece to display from the stories they have been reading. Towards the end of term 2, the students started learning cultural songs and dances in music lessons and we were able to come together last Friday to do the dances and sing the songs everyone had been learning in their class lessons. We were also treated to a performance by The Geebung Special School Choir and class 14/15 performed a clapping sticks song for us. The week gave our students many opportunities to learn about and engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
