SCHOOL VALUES: Respect is the way we speak to each other and the way we do things together.

SCHOOL COUNCIL The School Council will meet on Monday evening on the 10/ 08/ 2015 at 7.00 pm to discuss school progress. We will be discussing the resurface of our asphalt area to provide a better surface for students to play on.

2016 ENROLMENT 2016 is not as far off as some might think Sunshine Harvester is rapidly becoming the school of choice for many parents in our community and beyond. In order to cater for our students, it is important to enrol your Prep children in the coming weeks so l can select staff. Enrolment forms are available from the front office. On enrolment we will interview you so we can understand your child’s needs as early as possible. A transition program from pre-school to school is already running, at our school. We don’t want any children missing out.

COFFEE MORNING AND SECOND HAND CLOTHING STALL Chris Durbridge organised a fantastic opportunity for our community to purchase second clothing at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately not a lot of parents took advantage of this. For those parents who did , they went away with some fantastic items.

PREP 100 DAYS This was a fantastic day with our Prep children receiving certificates for 100 days at school. The teachers participated by dressing up as old people and some children came to school looking much older. Grade 1’s had a Pod party to celebrate 100 days, all the student’s & staff had a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone who participated. READING AT HOME The school provides many opportunities for children to read at school and to learn new words. It is really Important to listen to your child read at home, as this reinforces how important reading is.

ROAD SAFETY Please encourage your children to cross at the School Crossing. This is the safest place for your children and will teach them skills beyond the school environment.

WEEK 4

Dear Parents and Guardians..

PBS at Sunshine Harvester

Sunshine Harvester Primary School is a POSITIVE

BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT school.

We TEACH students the

behaviours that match our

This term we are focussing on teaching our behaviour ex-pectations in the classroom.

Next week our expectation will be

“ I follow directions the first time I am asked.”

In the classroom following directions looks like this:

1] Look at the person giving directions.

2] Say or think “Okay.”

3] Follow the directions.

4] Check back to see if you have followed them.

Following directions makes it much easier for children to learn, to keep safe, and to learn to follow laws.

At home, you can reinforce this behaviour by noticing and acknowledging when your child listens to directions and does what you ask the first time – whether it is washing their hands before dinner, tidying something, getting their book out to read, etc.

The PBS Place!

Once a week at lunch time students are able to bring their HIGH FIVE cards to the library, if they have 10, 15, 20 etc cards already collected. Once there they can choose a small prize. Also, they might choose another reward such as a small amount of free time, being a teacher helper, or doing some craft or cooking.

Congratulations to Iman and Pinky from Grade 6 who have used their High Five cards to book some cooking time with some friends – a very creative choice!

Respect

Responsibility

Learning.

and acknowledge

their efforts!
