Newsletter Term 4 Week 2, 14th October 2014 Upcoming events 20th October – P&C meeting @ 6.30pm Dear Parents/Carers Congratulations to our students and families for the great start to Term 4. The commitment everyone has shown to being at school with a positive attitude to learning, the excellent standard of uniform and the cooperation between everyone, shows that we have a great school. This term, we have eight new students enrolled between Early Birds and Year 4 and this means that the good news about Gunnedah Public School continues to spread throughout the community. The Professional Practice of our staff is a constant goal for our school. Professional learning at our school uses the latest research to guide the development of teacher effectiveness. We develop skills that are shown to be effective and proven, using conclusive data and professional judgements. With the focus of our school being Serious About Learning, we are on the way to achieving some very important milestones in improvement. Community involvement in our school is extremely important and we are developing more opportunities for this to happen. The systems we have to support the education of our students are also a focus of school improvement. Have a great week Kind regards Stephen de Roos

Learning News Last Thursday was our second parent workshop. Mr Clark showed those who came along how to use a number of apps that can be download and used at home. Here are a couple that you may find useful.
Out & About has been developed by the Department of Education, Training and Employment and is aimed at Prep to Year 2 students to help them master the first 100 sight words.
Grade 1 Math is part of Splash Math an app that has received many awards. It makes up interactive problems for children to solve.
Reading Eggs is an award-winning app for assisting children to learn to read. Children work through levels as they master and improve their skills
