SOARING HIGH ON THE WINGS OF SUCCESS

WIRI WHISPERER WEEK 4 TERM 1 2020

Dear Parents, Carers and Community,

As we get stuck into week 4 we are full steam ahead

with teaching and learning at Wiripaang Public

School. Here at Wiri we encourage you to be actively

engaged in your child’s/children’s education and we

are only a meeting, phone call or email away to

answer any questions you may have to support our

students learning and wellbeing. Together we are

improving and developing new skills and knowledge

on our learning journey for all. Together we can and

will make a positive difference for all of our students

at Wiripaang PS.

School leadership opportunities

We held our assembly last Friday, that included our

leadership induction of our elected school leaders. It

was a wonderful moment to see such great

community support for our students as they accept

the great responsibility of being a leader to their

peers and representing our school. Children showed

great pride in accepting their badges and reading

their oath and we look forward to them evolving and

enhancing their leadership skills in various settings

throughout the school year.

Zone Swimming Carnival

The East Lake Macquarie Swimming Carnival will be

held this Thursday and Friday at Charlestown pool.

We congratulate our students’ representatives that

qualified and wish them luck as they represent

themselves and our school.

‘Meet and Greet’ your teacher

On Monday 24th February we will be holding a

teachers ‘meet and greet’ from 2.30-3.30pm. You

are invited to come and visit your child’s classroom,

have a look at the work that have been completing

and meet their teacher.

Pets not to be onsite at school

Just a reminder that pets are not to be onsite at our

school due to Health and Safety regulations. We

appreciate your understanding and cooperation with

this.

High School students picking up siblings

Please notify us if your child at high school will be

picking up their sibling on certain days of the week

so that we can ensure a smooth pick up and safety

for all. The high school students must wait in the

permitted area at the front of the school under

supervision and not disturb other members of our

school community whilst waiting for our students to

complete their lessons. Students not picking up

siblings are not permitted onsite. We thank you in

advance for your support in this matter.

Literacy and Numeracy is our core business – Early

Action for Success

You will hear our teachers speak about this as this is

our belief – literacy and numeracy is our core

business. Our goals are to ensure your child leaves

our school at the end of Year 6 with the key literacy

and numeracy skills to set them up for success in

their high school years. To lay the foundations for

them to choose whatever career path they wish and

for them to be the most active and informed citizens

in our community.

In order to achieve this we need your assistance in

making sure attendance is as great as possible at

school for our students, by engaging in the

information sent home and by sharing in this

partnership and assisting our school to be the best it

can be. Please see your class teacher to find out how

you can help achieve our collective goal.

Stage 3 have been developing our independence and preparing to take on leadership roles by

participating in the Peer Support Program. We focused on skills which develop our leadership

capacity, such as team work, problem solving, time management, effective communication and

being a positive role model. It was at times, challenging however everyone persisted and we all

agreed that lollies are essential!

Stage 3 are also learning to take ownership of our learning by collecting work samples for our

Learning Intentions Evidence (L.I.E). Each week we will need to prove our learning in Math and

English by participating in lessons and documenting our knowledge. We have all set our goals

and now are working hard to accumulate our L.I.E’s. Come in to school foyer to learn more about

us.
