PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Working Bee What a fantastic job the working bee team did last weekend. The area outside the art room is looking very prom-ising. A bite more work to finish off is currently being planned. Many thanks to the following families: Lanca-shire, Boniwell, Poole, Fox, De La Cruz, Skerry, Pentland, Newman, Pennell, Prinsen, Coia, Stokes. Apolo-gies if we have missed anyone. Special thanks must go to Kirsty Bishop Fox and Andrew Tonkin for their plan-ning and preparation. Aya At last Monday’s assembly we had our community presentation for Aya. It has been a joy to have Aya in the school. Her teaching skills have been a fantastic addition to our program and her warm personality, has made her a big hit with students, teachers and families. We wish her well at Kalinda and hope that our relationship will continue. Thank you Aya! Spring Fair Parents are continuing to make final preparations for the Spring Fair. The next job for each and every family is to sign up for an hour on your class roster. Obviously some families are fulfilling set up and all day roles but we have 320 families in the school and it is now time to put your hand up for an hour for your class. Please go on line to complete the roster. If you are unsure see your class rep, a friend, your class teacher or the office and we can help. Curriculum in Term 4 Last week teachers spent a day planning for next term. Watch out for level newsletters for all the term’s events. Units for next term are: Prep – Let’s Be Creative Junior – Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds Middle – May the Force Be with You (force and movement) Senior – Forces of Nature

Holidays Sometimes it feels that the term has been long and then all of a sudden it is over. I think everyone is pleased to see the back of our very cold winter. We will return to daylight savings which always seems brighter. I wish you well for the break. Enjoy your families, have some fun and stay safe. See you next term.

STUDENT WELFARE

PARENT-CHILD SLEEP SESSION: Children that have a tendency to worry or difficulty self-regulating often have difficulties getting to sleep or staying asleep. Lack of quality sleep in chil-dren can effect their ability to learn and manage social situations. I am inviting parents to attend a session on bedtime calming strategies and routine setting with their child at school on Wednes-day 7th of October from 9am – 10.15am. Spaces will be limited and I need confirmation of your attendance by Friday 18th of September. I will be running the session and it will be very interac-tive for you and your child. This is of course a FREE session and part of my role in supporting student’s wellbeing. Please email me to confirm your attendance sartori.mia.m@edumail.vic.gov.au Mia Sartori Student Welfare Officer

JAPANESE CULTURE CORNER

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOSTING A JAPANESE ASSISTANT? As you know this week we say sayonara to our wonderful assis-tant Aya Sensei and thank you again to her generous host fami-lies over the last six months- the Summerville family, the Perry family and the Coia family! Next term we will welcome Misako Sensei to Warranwood. Misako has been teaching Japanese in Geelong for the past six months and will be at Warranwood for 3 months. Thank you to the Penfold family for hosting her in October! We are still looking for host fami-lies for November and December so please think about this fan-tastic cultural exchange opportunity. If you would like more infor-mation see me. Tanya Barlow Japanese Teacher

SPRING FAIR ROSTERS This year we are very excited to announce that the 2015 Spring Fair stall rosters will now be online, saving you and your class reps time and resources! You can select each of your children’s stall links and following the prompts on screen fill in your choice of time selections! Rosters will be open online until Friday 9

ed and up on your class window. As a thank you, when you finish your shift, sign the roster near your name and you will go in the Hamper Raffle to be drawn at assembly on Monday 19

It will be a fabulous day but please remember, we need your help - by sharing the load, everyone can enjoy the day. These are all the online roster links for our Spring Fair stall. Please navigate your way through the prompts (after clicking on your link) to select your times. Remember, first in, gets first time choice!

When you get to the signupgenius page for your child’s stall, you will see various time slots and numbers in brackets. This means we need, for example, 5 people from 10.00am – 11.30am.

The details you enter will be used only by the school appointed delegates for the purposes of filling the roster and will not be passed on to any other companies. You will get a reminder from the system a day or two before the event – you can swap with other people on the same stall if you need to. You can view the roster to check your spot, you can also add it to your Facebook page as a reminder or calendar, etc. To continue on with booking a time slot for another of your children’s stalls, select the relevant roster for your child’s stall. If you have any trouble with the online rostering system, please contact your class reps, Jo Hales (bandjhales@bigpond.com) or Brigid Campbell in the of-fice.
