NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Robyn Brooks House Colour Walk

We had our first house colour walk today. We will be walking

again next week on Friday. Students are allowed to wear their

HOUSE colours on this day. It is NOT a casual dress day. Samoan Day

Cooper, Hope, Hunter and Ruben did an outstanding job

planning and delivering their Leaders of Evolution project. Last

Friday our school were treated to Samoan dancing, food and

artefacts. Thank you kindly to

the Samoan dancers and

Chaffey Secondary. The ISPS

students were then involved

in learning coordinated by

the LoE group throughout

the day. Thanks to all the ISPS community for donating

stationery that Cooper and Hope will take to Samoa next year

and pass onto the Samoan schools. Colour Run

On December 6th, Hanna, Natalie and Mikayla will be holding a colour run. A

colour run is where you have to run through an obstacle course and try to get

squirted by colourful, skin-friendly dye. On the day you are required to wear a

white t-shirt and old pants. We are fundraising for Kitty’s Crib and the school.

A huge thanks to all those families who have created an online profile for their

child and started the fundraising journey. Please be aware that there is no

pressure from Irymple South that you must participate in the fundraising for this

Leaders of Evolution project. The amount of money raised by students is

completely optional. All of the students will still be able to be involved in the

Colour Run in December, whether they raise $0 or $1000.

On Friday October 11th all students received a sponsorship form and letter, the

more money you put in, the bigger the prize!

Key dates are:

October 11th – sponsorship forms and letter went home

November 15th – all money due back (NO money to be deposited into the school‘s account)

November 15th – November 20th – order prizes. All prizes must be finalised online by November

20th. Hats

All children are required to wear school hats in the yard at all times from now on. If a student

does not have a hat they must sit under the shade outside their class door or sit under the shade

sails in the eating area. Our school actively supports Sunsmart policies. School hats are available

to purchase at Laser Signs and Print.

commencing Friday 8th November


ISPS Uniform List amended

On behalf of School Council I approached

Laser Signs & Prints asking for an appraisal of

the cost of the school dress.

They have agreed to reduce the cost of the

dress by $10 to $68 to help make it more

affordable for all families. Our school dress

fabric is a good quality fabric. Please find a

new price list and order form attached and

orders can also be made online. House Sports Shirts

If you would like to order a House Shirt for 2020,

now is the time to do it!

Please note these can not be bought off the shelf in the store, they are purely an online

order.

Orders can be placed until Sunday 1st

December for the arrival to occur during the

first three weeks of next year. Once again,

please be aware that these are online orders

only and are the same sizing as the school polo

shirts.

We have one more student free day in Term 4.

Please mark this in your calendar. Students are

not required on Monday 9th December. School Council

The Preps had a magnificent day last

Wednesday on their excursion. They started off

with a visit to Benetook Farms where they went

through the maze, looked at the chooks and

picked strawberries. They then travelled to the

Arts Centre to watch The Junior Lion King. After

a short stroll they arrived at Jaycee park for

lunch and a play. The students headed back to

school for some activities with Ready Steady

Go, Bunnings and biscuit decorating. The

students had pizza and ice cream for dinner. A

collage of photos can be found further in the

INTERSCHOOL SPORT

On Wednesday most year 5/6 boys went to play T20 at Aerodrome Ovals. We

had a great day and enjoyed playing some competitive cricket. Our most

successful team was team 1.

We played 3 round robin games to start the day. We played against St Joe’s

Red Cliffs, Irymple South 2 and Irymple. We won all of those games

comfortably.

That meant that we made it to the grand final and we played against Nichols

Point. We won comfortably, so that means where going to the next stage. We

all played well as a team and all improved throughout the day. Thanks to

Tyler’s dad, Chris, for coaching us.

KET

On Wednesday, 9 girls got to play T20 cricket at the aerodrome ovals. We

played 4 games in total. Our first was against Nichols Point team 2, we easily

won with great sportsmanship and fielding. Our second game was played

against Red Cliffs East which we also won. Then we played ISPS team 4 which

was a close enjoyable game, meaning both teams showed great teamwork

and collaboration. Thanks to Addison with her last minute break through, we

won and were entered into the finals against Nichols Point Team 1. After

hardcore dancing and heavy wind, our team

pushed through with our best performance and

support, And we ended up winning with tight

scores! The best bowlers were, Elana and

Addison, best fielders were Rhiannon and

Emma Norris. And best batters were Maia,

Rhiannon and Dancia. We will now be

progressing to the next round in Swan Hill!

Thanks to Mr Allen for helping us improve

throughout the day, and although you didn’t

get a singing reward, your vocals certainly

helped us on a high note!

Last Friday 8 grade 5 & 6 girls went to Swan Hill to play regional

basketball. We played 4 games, we won two and lost two. We

won against Strathfieldsaye and Campbellbrook. We all played

great and in the end we all improved as a team. Unfortunately we

will not be moving on to the next level of competition.

still be normal school days, with normal learning but just a twist with our House Colours.

students with the opportunities to develop independence and resilience.

included in the Parent Payment. All costs will be kept to a minimum and

may change.

15th November. The cost of this camp is $400.

Grade 4 Camp

The students will be attending Lake Cullulleraine Camp from Wednesday

11th to Friday 13th December. The total cost for the camp

will be $195.

Hill. The camp will be on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of

November. The approximate cost of the camp is $200.
