Gymnastics
This week each of our classes had their
first gymnastics lesson with the PCYC.
These lessons will continue each week
until the end of the term. The school
acquired funding through a ‘Sporting
Schools’ grant to cover the cost of the
lessons. The students thoroughly
enjoyed their first lesson!
SRC Silent Disco
Our SRC held a ‘Silent Disco’
fundraiser this week. Each child had
their own headset, where they listened
to one of the two music channels
available. The students had a fantastic
time at the disco. Thanks to Mrs Pitt
for organising this fun experience for
our students.
GRIP Leadership
Last week our School Captains and Vice
Captains attended GRIP Leadership. The
day focused on training student leaders for
their role as school leaders within their
school. The day was lots of fun and
included presentations, interactive
activities and leadership games. Everyone
had a great time and learnt some valuable
leadership lessons.
Girls Rugby League
Congratulations to Clare C, Ruby G
and Madison K who participated in a
girls Rugby League Gala Day this
week. The girls joined with girls from
other small schools in our area. They
had a wonderful day and represented
our school with pride and excellent
sportsmanship. Well done, girls!
Thanks to Mrs Boorer from Kitchener
who helped organise and train the
team.

school and taking them off as it warms up at lunchtime. Please mark all items of clothing clearly so it

Term 3 Staff Development Day Change
Our school in conjunction with the Cessnock Callaghan Principal networks have booked Dylan William
to present a session to teachers on Monday 19 August 2019. Professor William is a British
educationalist and Emeritus Professor of Educational assessment in the Institute of Education,
University of London. He is an internationally recognised leader in the development of formative
assessment. This professional development aims to:
- help schools fortify strategic formative assessment with teacher learning communities.
-research and develop innovative, highly effective programs.
-support enhanced student achievement.
To ensure the maximum number of school staff can gain from high quality professional learning on
offer on this day, a variation to the Term 3 School Development Day is needed. As a result, please note
that our school’s Staff Development Day for Term 3 has been changed from Monday 22 July to Monday
19 August. Students are required to attend school on Monday 22 July 2019 and NOT attend
school on Monday 19 August.
Upcoming Excursions
Students in all years will be participating in an extra curricula excursion during 2019. We have
outlined an approximate cost so families may begin to budget and make regular payments for these
excursions when they can. Permission notes will be sent home at a later date.
Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 students will be attending a show in Newcastle on 28 August with an
approximate cost of $20.
Year 3 and Year 4 will be attending an overnight excursion to Sydney on 7—8 November with an
approximate cost of $120.
Year 5 and Year 6 will be attending the Aussie Bush Camp from 4—6 September at an approximate
cost of $280.
* As always student assistance will be available by application for families who require it.
Earn & Learn at Woolworths
This is on again!! We are asking community members to slip
their Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheets into our posting
box outside Woolworth's Cessnock from 1st May to 25th June or
in the box we have located in the foyer at school. Look out for Kearsley Public Schools posting box. We
did so well last year. Let's do the same again. Last year we had a total of 15,800 stickers and purchased
lots of art and craft resources. Earn and Learn is sponsored by Modern Teaching Aids. The stickers you
collect for our school allow us to trade for educational resources such as maths equipment, musical
instruments, sporting gear, art and craft resources and much more (no cost to the school). All stickers
are collected, counted and the classroom teachers select what they want for their class.
Todd Woodbridge Cup
Selected students will be attending the Todd Woodbridge Cup– Tennis Gala Day at Maitland City
Tennis Club on Wednesday 3 July. Notes and cost of $3 are due back on Monday 24 June2019. Travel is
