Principal’s Message
Thanks everyone for your amazing hard work this Term. We have gone from remote learning back to full time schooling. Students, staff and parents have all been brilliant throughout these changing times and I want to acknowledge what a tremendous effort you have all put in over the past Term. Drew Green has been offered an extension on his role as PSL (Principal School Leadership) and I have been asked to return as relieving Principal for the remainder of 2020. I am extremely excited to continue in this position and work with you all to enhance student learning outcomes and opportunities. I hope you all have a great holiday and will see you back on Tuesday, 21 July.
Communication Communication between the school and families is a high priority. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us, we are always looking at ways to refine and improve our practices. Call the office and we can direct your call to the appropriate person. Parent Teacher Interviews - This week will be our Parent teacher interviews. All interviews are being done over the phone. Thank you to the families who have responded with their preferred time for phone interviews. This is an incredibly important part of the reporting process and we value all the feedback we can gather to help form individual goals for each student in Semester 2.
School Photos will be held on Monday, 3 August. Please have your orders and correct money in to the office the week before.
Cross country will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, 30 June. Due to Department Policy around Covid-19 we are not allowed to have parents attend, even sitting in cars. We are hoping to have plenty of photos in next Term’s newsletter. Students must have hats, drink bottles and running shoes. Send their recess/lunch as normal and canteen orders will still go in to the
canteen. Please have your child/ren dress in their house colours or sports uniform.

This Term 3-4H are focusing on narrative writing. Students have been experimenting with writing metaphors and personification, to make their writing more interesting. Here are some examples for you to enjoy.

Personification The cloud cried on me - Callum The book was flipping through it’s pages - Ezra The sun grinned and everything lit up- Sophie The moon is sad, what a sad guy. He wishes to be like the sun - Mikael The Sun was winking at me with a smile and he is a grumpy old goat - Lola The sun is gloomy - Ava-Rose The cow sang to me - Sam
Students have also started watching BTN (a kids news program) and doing projects on stories they are interested in.

Community Announcements
Hi, my name is Gina. I have been the Social Worker Student for the past two Terms at Kyogle Public School. My focus as a social worker at KPS is working with students in the school environment and working collaboratively with the Principal and Teachers to minimise the impacts of personal, family and school difficulties. Aiming to remove the barriers to learning. During this placement I have worked with children with disabilities, learning difficulties and challenging behaviours. I have run lunch time group activities that involved arts and crafts, worked with groups to build birdboxes for the school playground and made leather keychains. Keep an eye out next Term as the photos of the birdboxes will be out and a blurb on how the boys made these. Thank you KPS, it has been an amazing experience to do my first placement at this school.
