New Times for K-2 School - Trial to start next Week

A reminder that the K-2 classes will commence next Monday.

As we prepare for the new construction period, it is hoped that

our younger students will have more time and space to leave

the school in an orderly and safe fashion.

Details are as follows:

TRIAL TIMES FROM MONDAY 27th AUGUST 2018:

K, 1, 2 9:00am to 3:00pm NEW TIMES

Years 3, 4, 5, 6 9:10am to 3:10pm SAME TIMES

Trial Morning Procedures:

8:40am - Supervision commences for all students

9:00am - Infants class to commence - Students line up in class

lines

9:10am - Primary classes commence - Morning Assembly

Trial Afternoon Procedures:

3:00pm – Infants finishing time - Students can be collected by

parents OR

K-2 students who are not directly collected by parents are

expected to make their way to the Infants COLA. If they are

walking with older siblings or neighbours, catching a bus or

attending OOSH they will assemble under the infants COLA.

Teachers will supervise bus, OOSH and walking lines to ensure

no children miss their bus, OOSH supervisor or older siblings.

Any parents or carers who have further questions or need

clarification about the trial can see Mr Brown, Mrs Ross (or Mrs

Blair) or Mrs Dyall.

Thank you to everyone for being prepared to trial this new

timetable. Years 3-6 organisation stays the same.

School Facebook Page

Our school Facebook page now has over 2300 followers! This

makes us one of the biggest school Facebook pages in the

region! We try to put as many news items and activities as

possible onto our page, but our School Newsletter remains the

first source of information to parents.

Parents who have questions about school policies, changes

and events are advised that the Facebook page is not

monitored on a regular basis and they should not rely on a

response. Parents are encouraged to call the office on

49325900 or make an appointment with the school executive if

they would like to raise ideas or query changes to school

policies and procedures.

Stranger Danger

All parents are reminded to ensure adequate supervision to and

from school. Our school and others in the region have issued

alerts recently of potential strangers in our community

approaching students on the way to and from school. Whilst

our community is a very safe one overall, it is important our

children are educated on the ways that they can be safe if they

feel uncomfortable or are approached by unknown people.

Canteen Changes

Last week we said farewell to Di Botfield, who has now finished

as our canteen manager. The staff and students at the school

will miss Di’s friendly face, and especially the sweet chilli

scrolls! We wish Mrs Botfield all the best for the future.

The P&C run the school canteen and will advertise the Canteen

Manager position shortly. Although the canteen does employ

some staff members, the canteen relies heavily on volunteers

each day to make the canteen viable. Some menu items may

not be available over the coming weeks as we transition to a

new Canteen Supervisor and menu.

Webbie Wonderland

Students will enjoy a range of activities this week as part of the

“Webbie Wonderland” reward. Students who have not received

a behaviour referral for the first five weeks of this term will be

eligible to attend.

Jump Rope for Heart

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will have the launch for Jump Rope for

Heart, where our students will get to watch a 20-minute

demonstration of some tricks.

Newcastle Permanent Mathematics Competition

All students in Years 5 and 6 will sit the Newcastle Permanent

Mathematics Competition this Wednesday. Good luck to all

students.

Graffiti Art Project

Some of our primary students will work with Compass Housing

over the coming weeks to create a public art installation in the

Rutherford area. Students will work with the artist and other

local schools. We look forward to seeing their creative work!

Father’s Day Breakfast

A warm welcome is extended to all fathers and male carers

who may like to come along to our Father’s Day Breakfast for

2018. Activities and breakfast will start at 8:00am on Friday

31st August 2018.

Father’s Day Stall

The P&C Father’s Day stall will be held on Thursday 30th

August 2018. All gifts will cost $6 and can be prepaid on

Flexischools. A list will be kept at the stall of all students who

have prepaid, and will be marked off when their shopping is

completed.

Students will visit the stall with their class. Please be sure to

send the correct money if you do not prepay, and to bring a

plastic bag to carry dad’s gifts in.

Any left over items will be on sale at the Father’s Day breakfast.

Staffing

Mrs Ross (Deputy Principal Infants) is currently on leave as she

recovers from a hand operation. Mrs Corry Blair will relieve as

Deputy Principal during Mrs Ross’ absence.

Mrs Evans will take long service leave from this Friday to

Tuesday, and for the first two weeks of Term 4. Mr Taylor will

relieve on 5/6E.

Mrs Spalding will be on leave from this Wednesday for a week

and will be replaced by Mrs Kate Jones, Miss Hayley Donnan

and Mrs Gagan Rakhra.

Miss Collins will be on leave for the week beginning Monday

3rd September and will be replaced by Mrs Jessica Smith.

Congratulations Miss Bernardine

Miss Lara Bernardine, Beau and Levi welcomed a baby boy

into the family recently. We are pleased to hear that mum and

bub are doing well and are now at home. Congratulations to

you all!

Breaking the Silence Training

Some of our staff will undertake training in the ‘Breaking the

Silence’ initiative. The training examines ways schools can

support students and families who may experience Domestic

Violence, particularly towards women.

Schools and communities play an important role if we are to

eliminate any form of violence.

NAPLAN Readiness Test Spelling

Students in Years 3 and 5 will sit a NAPLAN-style test using

computer technology in Week 7. This test aims to trial the

school’s computer software and hardware. Students do not

need to prepare for the test and the school does not receive

any individual student results. The 2018 NAPLAN results from

Term 2 should be issued soon by the Department of Education.

Students will bring home the report as soon as the school

receives them.

Spelling Bee Zone Final

Good luck to our students who will represent our school at the

Zone finals of the 2018 Premier’s Spelling Bee to be held at

Greta Public school on Thursday 6th September. Our super

spellers are:

Stage 2: Cody Lewis and William Lewis

Stage 3: Bailey Marquet and Shreyash Karajager

Aerobics Competition

Our famous “Pink Jets” will travel to the Gold Coast this week

as they prepare for the “Schoolaerobics” National

Championships. Ms Ledwos and the girls have been practicing

regularly since taking out the State Championships, and we

wish them all the best. Thank you to our major sponsors for all

their ongoing support:

MSP Photography and Club Maitland City

The P&C will host a school disco in the hall on Friday 7th

September. The theme for this disco is “Glow/Fluro”.

appreciated.

The SRC will be selling Glow Products on the night!

Help us raise funds for new playground equipment and sporting

jerseys for Rutherford Public School!

Parking Rangers

Parents and carers are advised that the Maitland Council

Rangers have been patrolling the school parking restrictions,

and have issued quite a number of fines to motorists in recent

weeks. The school has no control over the restrictions, and all

parking zones are determined by the council’s traffic control

committee.

Parents are encouraged to leave enough time to find a park

before and after school to avoid a heavy fine. There is NO

excuse for parking in a NO PARKING zone!

Scooter Track

Students in Years 3 to 6 enjoyed a pop-up scooter track last

Friday. Students are permitted to ride their scooters on the

track each Friday over the next few weeks.

Students MUST wear a helmet if they choose to participate.

We are looking at designing a track for the infants children

soon!

Super Choirs!

Congratulations to the Primary and Infants Choirs who

competed at the Abermain Eisteddfod last week. Both choirs

performed to an extremely high standard. The Infants choir

took out first place in their division and the Primary choir place

second in the Primary section. Congratulations to Mrs Thomas

and Miss Burns for all their preparation with the children.

Infants Choir

On Tuesday, the Infants choir travelled to Mt View High School

to compete in the 101st Abermain Eisteddfod. The 35 students

had a wonderful morning! They looked and sounded amazing,

and were rewarded with a first place for their efforts! They all

loved being on stage and cannot wait for their next opportunity

to perform.

I feel very lucky to be able to share such a wonderful

experience with our students. Congratulations!

Miss Trudy Burns, Infants Choir Coordinator

some great results, most notably Gardiniah Sefo who won the

We enjoyed looking after our chickens for two weeks, and we were very sad to see them go. We enjoyed writing about them,

feeding them and learning about their life cycle. We will continue to learn about farm life and about different animals that live

on farms.

In maths we have been busy learning about equal groups. We have had fun using concrete materials to make equal groups

with partners and using different materials to create artworks to display in our classroom.
