School Assembly Our K-6 Assembly is planned for this Friday commencing

at 9am in Mr Curtin’s room. Staff will present their Student

of the Week and Merit awards recognising the great

achievements of our students. Senior class students will be presenting an item

based on their excursion and some students will share their writing they created

for the art exhibition project. Parents and carers are most welcome to join us.

Congratulations Beck! Since the beginning of this term our school has been involved

in a merit selection process to select our new School

Administration Manager. This position became available on

Kathy’s retirement last term. It is with great pleasure that I can now announce

that Rebecca Dicinoski has been the successful candidate for the position. Beck,

who currently works in a part time position at our school and Wyrallah School,

will take up the permanent position from the beginning of next year. I know Beck

is very excited about her appointment and the opportunity to work in our school

on a full time basis.

Intensive Swimming Swimming has commenced with many eager

students and plenty of busy water activities.

We have six ability groups led by teachers and

trained swimming instructors. We also have

parents helping in and out of the pool. Thanks

to these parents for giving up their time to

support the program. All parents are asked

to ensure their child’s clothing is labelled for easy recognition.

Positive Learning BehavioursOur focus for this week in our Positive Learning Behaviour

program is “Transitions around the school”. Teachers and

students will have a close look at those behaviours which

are important when our students are moving around the

school to ensure they are safe, respectful and responsible.

As each of these weekly

lessons are completed

parents will notice various

posters on display around

our school showing the

expected behaviours. This provides a visual reminder for

our students.

Performance EveningThings are starting to heat up as we count down to our

Performance Evening in two weeks. Please find attached

to this newsletter the costumes each student will require

for their group performance. In most cases children will

just need some basic casual clothing from home for their

performance while some performance groups will be

supplemented by items that the school will purchase. We

are asking parents to send the clothing items to school

next week so they can be checked for suitability. They will

be kept at school until the dress rehearsal performance

and then sent home ready for the Performance Evening.

Staff have decided it’s probably

best to hold our dress rehearsal

on Tuesday morning of Week 9

while the children are fresh. We

will also be holding a final

rehearsal on Thursday morning (Performance Day) so we

can practice on the portable stage.

For both of these rehearsals staff

will be ferrying students in their

cars to and from the hall to

conserve their energy levels. Any parent who does not

want their child to travel to the hall in this manner are to

contact the school as a matter of urgency.

Chess and Draughts

We had some positive news from the Chess and Draughts

day held last week at Rous PS. Congratulations to all

the girls who took part and represented our school in a

friendly and sportsperson like manner.

The game results were as follows:

Minyani – Won 6, Lost 1.

Kya – Won 1, Drew 1, Lost 5.

Millie – Won 6, Drew 1.

Hayley – Won 3, Drew 3, Lost 1.

Jacinta - Won 4, Lost 3.
