PRINCIPAL’S COLUMN- MATERIALS AND SERVICES CHARGES At Port Fairy Consolidated School Council we are committed to maintaining quality programs, which are accessed by all students at a minimal cost and I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the efforts of our school community to support our school with prompt payment of their individual parent contributions. These parent contributions contribute to ‘Essential Education Items’, which include stationery, text books, classroom materials, ICT support materials, visual/performing arts resources, physical education equipment and for students in years 4 to 6, requisites for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. This is a good news story that once again demonstrates the exceptional qualities of our positive and enthusiastic school community. Thank you also to the School Council, Parents & Friends Group, and the Folk Festival Committee for their ongoing support and fundraising efforts. NORTH OVAL RE-SURFACE

Last week we had the oval on the north side of the school scraped and re-sown. We are hoping that we can

establish an even surface that will be more suitable for ball games. It is now a matter of keeping it moist and

hoping for some decent rain.

SWIM SPORTS

Congratulations once again to the students who represented our school at the regional swimming sports in

Ballarat last Friday. By all accounts it was a great day and despite the chilly conditions much fun was had by all

involved. Thanks to the parents who transported students and helped on the day.

MOYNE DISTRICT ATHLETIC SPORTS

On Wednesday we sent a team of over forty students to compete in the ‘Moyne District Athletic Sports’. The

students were selected after their performance at our house athletic sports in February. A big thank you to

Deanne Elliot for her district coordination of this event! As we are the host school it has meant many hours of

administration work for Deanne. Thank you also to Jill Gibson for running the canteen and to all parents who

assisted with this event. A great school community effort!

SCHOOL PHOTOS

Please take note that our annual ‘School Photos day’ will be held next Tuesday, March 24. It would be much

appreciated to see all students shining and in full uniform.

AIR CONDITIONERS

Our eight new air conditioners have now been installed and are ready to go. A big thank you to Sean Spence for

donating his time to complete the electrical work and to our Folk Festival Fundraising for supporting this project!

PAPER PLANES MOVIE

On Friday, March 27 (last day of term) all of our students will be attending a movie at the Port Fairy Cinema. The

movie is called ‘Paper Planes’. We ask all students to pay $2, with all proceeds going to Belfast Aquatics. A very

worthy community facility!

GEELONG PLAYERS VISIT

On Tuesday we had the pleasure of hosting a visit from two Geelong footballers. Thanks to the Geelong Football

Club for arranging this event. Many autographs were signed!

FOOTY COLOURS DAY

Our junior fundraising team, headed by Xavier Cassidy are organising a ‘Wear Your Footy Colours (or soccer, or

rugby, etc) Day, to be held on Friday, March 27. This is the last day of term and the eve of the AFL season. Gold

coin donations will be gratefully accepted and given to a local charity.

ART GALLERY EXCURSION

Last Tuesday twelve students attended the Warrnambool Art Gallery to view the Renaissance exhibition, ‘From

the Sacred to the Profane’. Many thanks to Agostina Hawkins for her assistance and knowledge and to our

wonderful art teachers Jenny McCarthy and Maree Stewart for their organisation and enthusiasm! The

exhibition showcased work from the National Gallery’s collection, featuring pieces from Rubens and Durer.

FAMILY NUMERACY PROBLEM

Don’t forget to ‘have a go’ at our weekly ‘Numeracy Problem’ in today’s newsletter. Winners to be announced at

Monday’s assembly. Thanks again to Mr Twycross for organising this.

the Port Fairy Consolidated School Council. I would like to take this opportunity

to everyone for their attendance. The next meeting is on Wednesday, May 20, at 7pm.

BUS TRAVELLER AWARD

This year we will be recognising our best bus travellers with a weekly award. This award will be nominated by

Mr Matt Hoey and it will be given to those students who contribute to the safety, comfort and well-being of

their fellow passengers. Congratulations to Harriet Tweedly and Shona Martin who received their awards at

last Monday’s assembly. Well done Harriet and Shona!

HEALTHY LUNCH AWARD

Each week we recognise a student with good food for lunch that is packed in a way that reduces our rubbish.

Each of these students receives a free lunch from our school café as a prize. The winners for the last two

weeks, as announced at Monday’s assembly, were Jack Perrin and Jorja Edwards. Congratulations Jack and

Jorja!

PLEASE REMEMBER

‘We aim for every child to be the best that they can be – without exception!’

Homeroom Happenings

Prep’s – This week we have been continuing our work on the

word 'went' and the letter 'W'. We have also been building our

stamina in Read to Self. Can you believe we are up to reading

for 4 minutes independently! In Numeracy we are continuing to

work on recognising numbers in different ways, such as

recognising the number in dot form, as a numeral and on a tens

frame.

1/2’s - ANZAC Inquiry is our focus for Reading and Writing. This

will include a trip to the Port Fairy War Memorial. In Maths we are

focusing on place value and understanding about 100’s, 10’s

and 1’s.

3/4’s –The end of the battle with addition is in our sight.

Number lines and formal addition has been conquered, but the

Generals have reported that it won’t be the last combative

encounter of its kind. In Reading we have been able to link

something to the wider world by making a connections with

television, the internet, newspapers or magazines. Fictional

narratives are now the focus for Writing. It has been fun building

a character and developing their traits, personality and

appearance - ‘King Malcom was fat and greedy. He wore

thongs, a purple cape and loved his golden toilet’ Can you

picture him in your head?

4/5M – Again it has been a busy week. The grade fives have

been working closely with 5/6M and 5/6D to prepare for the

dinners next week.

We were very lucky to have many of our students represent

our school at the Moyne Athletics on Wednesday.

In Reading we have begun our paper chain of prior

knowledge. We have been able to relate to self, text and world.

We are continuing our narratives and turning these into picture

story books. And in Maths we are learning new games to help us

with addition and strategies.

Mrs Green has been helping us learn about ANZAC and

Gallipoli and we are looking forward to our ANZAC

Commemoration day at school on 24th April.

5/6’s - 5/6 have enjoyed listening to the final chapters of our

class book 'Gallipoli'. Their knowledge and ability to identify with

the main character (Victor) enabled them to write a Portrait

Poem from Victor's perspective in the trenches. The poems are

amazing! Every class member has done an amazing job. We will

complete publishing them this week for all to share. We are now

preparing for our class dinners next Tuesday and Thursday so

much multiplying of recipes as we are expecting 80 guests on

each night!

Show & Tell .... with Scott Twycross The best advice I ever received was….to be nice to your mother.

The most important things I take into the classroom every day are……JoJo my toy Gorilla,

his great at keeping an eye on the classroom, my whiteboard markers and my sense of humor.

The most important lesson I've been taught by students is…..patience and understand that

everyday is a new day.

The most memorable moments in my teaching career is … anytime I take students on camps

or excursions. It's great when students get to experience new environments and learning

opportunities.

If I had a magic wand I would…..create more National Parks.

Two Geelong players, Jackson

Thurlow & Tom Read spent time
