Dear Families,

Another term behind us and things

don’t seem to be slowing down. In the

lead up to the holidays, let me take this

opportunity to thank all of our

students, staff and families for their

efforts throughout the term and

throughout the year so far. I have

every confidence that our school

continues to grow from strength to

strength, and I look forward to seeing

this continue into Term 4.

Well done to our PSSA Teams

Our Snr and Jnr Soccer and Snr Netball

teams all competed at their respective

zone finals on Friday. Our students

showed great courage, determination

and resilience and I’m pleased to say

that both our soccer teams finished in

third place, whilst our Snr Netball

Team took out this year’s title. Well

done to all involved.

Grandparents Day & Yr 6 Fun Day

On Wednesday, we welcome our

many wonderful grandparents, as we

hold a special assembly from 12pm

before starting our Yr 6 Fun Afternoon

immediately after. The assembly will

showcase some of our very talented

students and celebrate student

achievement. The afternoon of fun

activities will see our Yr 6 students

running lots of fun-filled activities as

they raise funds for their Yr 6 Farewell

and gift to the school.

Living Smart Project & Festival

We had the privilege of entering the

Living Smart Garden Bed competition

at the Living Smart Festival at Speers

Point Park on Saturday. Whilst we

didn’t win on this occasion, we did

receive a new garden bed for our

school and a number of plants for our

garden. A very big thank you goes to

Mr Shaw for his efforts in coordinating

our entry and, of course, our school

Living Smart Project. In Term 4, you will

see the completion of our recycled

bottle greenhouse and a number of

new gardens popping up.

The Cardiff Chronicle

Yarning Circle & Bush Tucker Garden

As part of our Living Smart Project, we

will also be establishing a yarning circle

and bush tucker garden, commencing

next term. During the holidays, the

garden area near our Russell St gate will

be cleared before we commence works

in establishing a yarning circle, and

planting a number of bush tucker plants.

NAPLAN 2018—Onward and Upward

Our Yr 3 and Yr 5 students have

received their NAPLAN reports and our

school has also now received our 2018

data. I’m pleased to report that we

continue to grow from strength to

s t r e n g t h w i t h o u r N A P L A N

performance.

This graph shows the Premier’s priority

area of the percentage of students in

the top 2 bands for numeracy and

reading. Well done everyone.

Transportation of Students

Please be aware that if you are assisting

with the transportation of other

students for special events, you are

required to complete a Working With

Children Check declaration and provide

a copy of your current driver’s licence

and registration. Thank you for your

understanding and helping to keep our

kids safe.

Congrats & Thank You Miss Watson

We would like to congratulate Miss

Watson on completing her teacher

training at our school and thank her for

her wonderful contribution to 1/2H and

our school as a whole.

Have a safe & happy holiday!

Helping your child with reading Reading every day Children value reading through watching their family use reading and writing every day. Encourage your child to read by sharing such activities as: finding brands at the shops reading signs and posters following a street directory checking the television guide choosing a video using a recipe reading game rules reading the newspaper aloud together playing word games or doing crossword puzzles

reading out instructions looking at letterbox leaflets reading magazines, comics, poems and rhymes. Reading aloud together. Children enjoy reading more if it is shared. Make time away from television and interruptions to read aloud with your child.

CARDIFF PUBLIC SCHOOL

Every Day Counts—Attendance

Regular attendance at school for every

student is essential if students are to achieve

their potential, and increase their career and

life options.

Parents must ensure that their children, who

are enrolled at school, attend every day the

school is open for their instruction.

They provide an explanation for absences by

means such as a telephone call, written note,

App notification or email to the school

within 7 days from the first day of any period

of absence (preferably earlier).

Planning a Family Holiday?

We encourage all of our families to take trips

during school holidays. No exemptions can

be granted for family holidays, however,

parents should contact the school and apply

for extended leave, before they go on

holidays. Leave will only be granted if it is

seen to be in the best interests of the child.

Educational, social and participation reasons

should be specified on the application and

travel documentation should be provided.
