Week 5 - 16th November, 2018

FROM THE DESK OF OUR PRINCIPAL

Greetings, It has been another exciting week at Tyalla Public School.

The fabulous art works completed by Stage 3 for their Archibald Art competition demonstrated a range of

skills and perspectives. It was so difficult to choose a winner from the range of great artworks. Well done

students and their teachers.

This week the teachers engaged in some fantastic Professional Learning on the Science and Technology

syllabus being implemented in 2019, and digital technologies.

Mrs Devereux, Mr Gillespie, Miss Minogue and Mrs Koufis attend the Building Numeracy expo as part of our

commitment to Building Numeracy Leadership. Involved schools shared their journey to date and planned

into the future. Teachers across the school, K-6, have been revisiting how we teach number with a focus on

Number Talk. I have been privileged to sit in on a number of collaboration days where teachers engaged in

quality discussions and viewed our students engaging in Number Talk with their teachers.

We have a number of important events coming up as the year all too quickly draws to a close. Please check

your child’s bag regularly for notes.

STAGE 3 ARCHIBALD PRIZE Well done to all of our Year 5 and 6 artists. The quality of work was incredible and it was obvious how much effort went into these paintings.
