If you already have the appropriate form, please return it to the office soon. The children must be enrolled at Hillside in 2017 to attend our Early Bird Orientation Program being held early in Term 4.This year is our 90th birthday and plans are underway to celebrate on Saturday 29th

Last week we sent home information for our 90th birthday tea towel promotion. This week the students have had fun drawing their picture to go on the tea towel. They will make wonderful memories for years to come.
At last week assembly Patrick, in Kindergarten was awarded the Aussie of the Month Certificate and Kalhoun in Year 4 received the Kindness Award. Two very deserving students who uphold the school values of being Respectful, Responsible Learners.

Please book that date in your diary now. Every student is a member of the cast. On the day, there will be a matinee performance around lunchtime and an evening performance. More details to come.

Ten Literacy tips for Parents and Caregivers.Here are some fantastic literacy tips and inspiring ways parents and carers can be more involved in children’s learning.
1. Make books important
Turn off the television and devices and read for half an hour. Talk about what you are reading and/or read with your child, depending on the age group. Sitting in the same room and reading independently can send a strong message about enjoying reading.
2. Visit the Library
Help your children borrow books and borrow yourself. Talk about your choices (authors, topics, book types) on the way home.
3. Make books available
Have a range of books available in your home to read at any time.
4. Write together
Compose greetings together for birthdays and other special occasions, whether a card, letter, email or a puppet show.
5. Set up some correspondence
Arrange for a family member or friend living away from you to correspond with your child by mail or email. Even young children, who may need help reading the letters/emails, will enjoy receiving and sending correspondence. Friends and family will love receiving a return letter or email from your child.
6. Discuss the news
Talk to your children about family events, trips and local and national news events that are appropriate for their age. A strong vocabulary is important for oral language, reading and writing.
7. Help your child with homework
You do not need to be an expert on each task. You can support your child to think through how they should plan their time and complete the task. Just being there, expressing an interest and saying, you want help can make your child feel supported.
8. Be selective about television programs
Try to have a family night and watch something suitable together and talk about the show afterwards. The program might create an interest for future reading or research into a topic.
9. Do things together
There can be lots of talking, reading and writing involved when planning and participating in family events. These include bike rides, cooking, shopping trips, researching for a day out, working in the garden, visiting friends or family or planning an outing to a cinema, museum or public events. Get your children involved in the process.
