Term 3 - Week 9 Week B

It is the end of Week 9 and we have had yet another very active week. The Year 6 Canberra excursion is going very well, and our students have been reported as being very respectful and responsible. They were also afforded the opportunity to have their photo taken with the soldiers on guard at the War Memorial.

We also had Sydney Grammar visit this week. 47 Year 4 boys visited Lake Cargelligo and our school, and participated in activities with our Year 4 students, students at St Francis Xavier and Murrin Bridge Pre-School. The students all enjoyed themselves and had an outstanding learning experience which culminated in a concert for the students yesterday afternoon. Special thanks go to the Nilsson family for everything they have done to support the experience, Mrs Bramich for her behind the scenes work, Mrs Hopson and Year 4 for their efforts in making the week work so well, Mr Kerezsy for his efforts in bringing the music together, Paul Jarman and Bonnie Nilsson for their time and musical directorship, Timana Cromelin and Ben Harris for their work with dance and music, and all of the boys that got involved with dancing and being a part of the workshops. Well done to all!!!! Next week continues to be especially active as well. We have a formal assembly on Monday commencing at 11:20. This is expected to run into period 4. After the assembly, we will vote for our 2018 School Captains. Next Friday we will also

formally farewell Year 12. The formal ceremony will take place from 11:20. The ceremony will be followed by a fun assembly hosted by Year 12. We look forward to seeing all of Year 12 in attendance for their final week of formal schooling. Craig Burdon Principal Next Week Sept 18th -Whole School Assembly 11.20am

Term 3 - Week 9 Week B

They met up with our Year 4 at a traditional Aboriginal welcome with our Aboriginal Dance group performing and teaching the students their dances as well as having fun games to help interaction between the students. The next day they visited Steve and Jan Johnson’s for a wonderful display and demonstration of how they use their working draught horses. The students from Sydney Grammar and our Year 4 throughly enjoyed their morning.

Other activities were making ochre and painting Aboriginal art, visiting St Francis and Murrin Bridge Pre-school. They also got together with our students for music and made up a song. The grand finale was on Thursday where the schools combined to showcase their music and songs.

TELL THEM FROM ME Surveys I am delighted that this term, our school, will participate in a Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me feedback survey. The survey measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW-wide survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices. More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au

The survey is a great opportunity for our students and parents to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around the world have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help improve how they do things at school. I want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey is conducted online and will take about 15 minutes to complete. Students have completed surveys during school time. WE WOULD LOVE FOR ANY PARENTS AND CARE GIVERS TO COMPLETE OUR SURVEY ON LINE SO WE CAN IMPROVE OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. Please enter the link below into your smart phone or computer browser and take the survey today!
