Principal’s Report

Dear parents/caregivers,

Welcome back to Term 4, I hope you had an enjoyable break from the routine of school. Already the calendar

is quickly filling up with many important dates and events. Term 4 is an extremely busy and exciting term.

Please keep an eye on the “What’s on at Wangi Wangi Public School” section.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN results were sent home to Year 3 and Year 5 parents late last term. We will hold a parent meeting on

Tuesday, 20th October at 2.15pm in the School Library to outline the NAPLAN results, Mr McSweeny and

Mrs Murphy have completed a deep analysis of our Year 3 and Year 5 NAPLAN results. A note was sent home

earlier this week.

Grandparents Day

This was such a success last year and we hope to make it even bigger and better this year. Invitations have

already been sent home. The date for your diary is Wednesday, 28th

October at 1.00pm. Afternoon tea will be

available at the conclusion of the event. Please put this on your calendar!

Staff Development Day Term 4

Staff will be completing professional learning for the next three Wednesday afternoons after school,

finishing at 6.00pm. In accordance with School development Days procedures, we have rescheduled six hours

of professional learning which allows for a variation on routine for the last day of Term 4. The school will be

open on last day of Term 4, Friday, 11th

December, however minimal staff will be in attendance. Students’

last day will be Wednesday, 16th

December and staff will finish on Thursday, 17th

December, 2015.

Wangi Wangi Sustainable Garden

Working closely with the Wangi Wangi Sustainable Garden group our school has been chosen as the most

viable area in Wangi Wangi to have a community garden. Working closely with Mr Rod Haines and Ms Alli

Murray, this project is evolving. A site plan has been developed and work has already commenced, the

project is ongoing and if you would like to lend a helping hand please speak to Ms Murray. We can’t wait to

see the finished product. Our garden has already provided tasting days for the students with the fresh

produce that has been grown during Term 3. We also hope that the Wangi community will again support this

great project!

Yr 1/2 Our class began Term 4 working on resilience through the

integration of Personal Development through the wonderful

books that we read in English. Books that inspired our writing

over the past two weeks have been Mike, I don’t like it! and

Noah Dreary. The students made many connections with these

books and we shared our writing for Noah Dreary at Friday’s

assembly last week.

The writing was lots of fun!

1/2 are wonderful writers who use an amazing vocabulary when

writing.

I’m so proud of their achievements.

Mrs Langford

I don’t like dads and mums they’re bossy and busy when you

ask them something.

I don’t like zebras because they’re too stripey. Liam S

I don’t like noises they’re loud and give me headaches.

I don’t like mums they’re bossy and a bit annoying.

I don’t like little sisters they’re annoying and rip your homework

apart. Jayden M

I prefer the complaining Noah because he complained about

everything you could think of.

Of course he complains about his sister crying. Who doesn’t?

He even complains about clouds. All he does is COMPLAIN!

What if he doesn’t know how he’s complaining is a bit too much

for everyone? I guess he will never know. At least he isn’t

doomed or is he. He just complains. He will learn. Ella B

I prefer great Noah because he’s helpful and kind and grateful

to do good things. He says lovely things so he is thought to be

good and not whinging. P.S He loves his family.

He isn’t angry or mad or bad, he’s just good. Aston

I prefer the complaining Noah because he’s funny and the most

complaining person in the world. He complains at school, home

and even at strangers. Noah is complaining everywhere! I bet

he does this at the shops! How strange is that? Shamara

I prefer the changed attitude Noah because he complains about

serious situations like saving the planet from pollution. Noah is

famous for alliterations about things we should do for the

environment. Noah is extremely famous.

Noah used to be selfish with a complaining attitude. When

Noah fell into the aquarium and some fisherman saved him.

Then he said “I’m the luckiest boy in the world!” Noah is now

extremely happy.
