Student Participation and Leadership NewsStudent Participation and Leadership NewsThis term we welcome our Semester 2 Student Representative Council (SRC) members, who were
inducted in their roles during our Week 1 and 2 assemblies.
The SRC is a group of students elected by their fellow students to represent all students in our school.
The SRC works democratically to represent the student body in school decision-making and organises
ways for all students to participate in school life.
Our SRC representatives for Semester 2 are listed below.
Congratulations to all our Semester 2 SRC representatives. We look forward to your leadership and
initiatives this semester.
Safe Respectful Leaders ProgramSafe Respectful Leaders ProgramOn Monday our Years 4 -6 SRC students participated in a full day student leadership training led by
Miss Alex Jones and Miss Ally Lemon. The students developed their knowledge and skills in leading
their peers in positive playground activities and con�ict resolution.
The Safe Respectful Leaders Program is a peer led playground leadership program that encourages all
students to participate in activities that support the development of their wellbeing. The program
supports our Positive Behaviour for Learning Framework, anti-bullying programs, student leadership
and participation policy, student physical activity curriculum and the school's student wellbeing and
engagement. Through the program all students are supported to build better peer relationships, social
skills, respect and understanding.

Hello from the Library - Term 3 Week 3Hello from the Library - Term 3 Week 3Hello from the Library - Term 3 Week 3Hello from the Library - Term 3 Week 3
Book Week is coming soon!Book Week is coming soon!We are getting excited about our Book Week celebrations in Week 6 – information has been sent home
with details of our school activities (on yellow paper).
The Book Parade is fabulous fun every year and helps to create and celebrate a reading mindset in our
students. Costumes can be simple, home-made or purchased. Costume ideas for our Book Week theme
‘Reading is my Secret Power’ can be found herehere with reading ‘secret powers’ in di�erent categories like
the power of knowledge, imagination, dreaming etc. (this page displays better in Google or Google
Chrome).
The visiting performance is always fun, engaging and a valuable learning experience. This year the
performance is called “Big Dreams” and will again focus on books from the Book Week shortlists. The
show’s themes include celebrating our dreams, overcoming our fears of failure and helping others to
achieve their dreams.
While students will enjoy watching this performance for fun, older students will �nd it valuable to
think about the theatre skills and techniques involved in a small-scale, live performance. This show has
been highly recommended.
Please detach the back page of your yellow notes, complete the consent form and return it to your
child’s class teacher with a payment of $6.30. Cash, cheque or electronic payments can be accepted.
Wordless Picture BooksWordless Picture BooksOur library has a growing collection of quality wordless picture books which provide for engaging and
deep “reading” experiences as they enable students to “read like writers”.
Wordless picture books are great for early reading and for more sophisticated readers, as they can bring
their own perceptions and experiences to the picture texts. Mrs Taylor and 3 / 4 Aqua have been
exploring this collection and creating their own stories based on the wordless picture books..
Scholastic Book ClubScholastic Book ClubScholastic Book Club Issue 5 orders will be due by next Monday,12th August, 2019. Please note that
Book Club brochures are organised according to recommended age-groups, with the �nal items being
more suitable for secondary students. Thank you for your support as your purchases also provide
valuable resources for our library.
Happy reading,
