Students of the Week Congratulations to ALL students

who have shone in exhibiting exceptional RISE expectations

this week.

We have started this term firing on all cylinders!

Writers Festival

Year 3-6 students travelled to Lismore to take part in this year’s Byron

Writer’s Festival presentation at Lismore City hall. We thoroughly

enjoyed our close up experience with Isobelle Carmody and John

Flanagan. These amazing, Australian authors shared some of their

experiences as writers, including insight into where they gained their

inspiration to write, and gave enriching information and tips about

quality writing.

NAIDOC Voice Treaty Truth

Last week students thoroughly enjoyed cooking and sharing their

Wattleseed Macadamia biscuits and Kangaroo meatballs with

Quandong Relish. We also shared traditional Aboriginal dreamtime

stories, music and played adapted Aboriginal games.

Robotics

Our Robotics day was fabulous. Students from Upper Coopers Creek PS

joined us in engaging and empowering Science, Mathematics,

Engineering and Digital Technology activities with the WeDo 2.0 and

EV3 robots.

Athletics Carnivals-One Down and One to Go!

On Monday, students aged 8-13, competed at the First North Track and

Field Athletics Carnival held at Clunes PS. Our Rosebank students did us

proud. Results will be included in next week’s newsletter. Our K-6 First

North Carnival run by Bexhill PS this Friday at Eureka PS has been

postponed. The new date is Friday 9 August.

Spelling Bee

Our Year 3/4 and 5/6 Spelling Bee will be held on Thursday 8

August 9.30am in the School Library. Parents are welcome to

attend. Students are encouraged to access the word list from

the link: https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au/premiers-spelling-bee

You will need to use the password: pizza.

School Uniform

School Uniforms are important at Rosebank PS and the NSW

Department of Education supports the wearing of school

uniform. The wearing of our school uniform helps build self-

confidence, school pride and a sense of belonging at our

school.

Our uniform was developed in collaboration with our school

community and we really appreciate parent/carer

cooperation in supporting all students wearing their uniform

during school hours, while travelling to and from school and

when engaged in school activities outside of school.

Our school uniform also contributes to the personal safety of

our students by allowing easier recognition of students inside

the school and in the community. Perhaps most importantly,

our uniform helps us maintain our strong culture of equity-we

are one big family. This is a key element to the beautiful

culture of kindness and care that we value so highly.

Have an awesome week everyone from Juanita, Nicky, Oliver,

Kim and Jen (Rosebank Team).

Spontaneous Challenge

Try this one-What is this? Where did it come from? Who does it

belong to? You have three minutes to elaborate. Go!

We respectfully acknowledge the Elders past and present of the

Wijabul Wiyabul people and other peoples of the Bunjalung

Nation.

They are the first peoples of this land, which has long been a

place of learning for Aboriginal people.
