AIM HIGH @ HEPSDear Parents

Welcome back! As is standard at HEPS it’s great to witness our students return happy and energized to

commence the new term. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holidays with family and friends and

take advantage of the gorgeous weather. Thank you to everyone who used our school grounds during the

holidays and did so in a fit and proper manner so we were able to resume school with all facilities intact.

Term Two promises to be an exciting term with many experiences and opportunities already planned as is

evident by the Term Two Calendar, attached to this newsletter. You will notice in particular NAPLAN

times for our students in grades three and five, Education Week, ANZAC day ceremonies, interschool

sports and various class excursions. You may wish to place this calendar in an obvious place and add

new activities and dates as they arise.

FOOD TECHONOGY AND SCIENCE FACILITY

You may have had the opportunity to walk down the corridor and

sneaked a peak into the new complex……….it looks great! I know

staff and numerous students have expressed sheer excitement about the

ability to use the kitchen as early as

Monday 22nd

April if all is approved this

week. Shelving and furniture for the library

(Resource Centre) should arrive on Monday

29th

so this facility will also look fresh,

inspirational and conducive to learning. Once it is officially opened and in

use, come in and check it out! I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

SCHOOL COUNCIL 2013

On Monday 25th

March, we held our AGM where we acknowledged a busy and successful 2012. You

should find the President and Principal’s Report on the school website. We thanked Mr David Glagovs

for being a contributing member of our school council over the last two years and Mr Greg Perry who

served on the council for four years, two of them as Council President. We welcomed our new school

council members for 2013, Michael Beer and the return of Andrew Martin, Ian MacLeod, Wayne Smith,

Chris Finighan and Lesley Wallace; the council co-opted Nicky Marran for the 2013 term.

Office Bearers are as follows:

President: Mark Granland

Vice President: Wayne Smith

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION

The Parents’ Association held their AGM on 21st March. Cathy Davidson read out her President’s report

which I have attached to the School Website. On behalf of the school community I wish to thank Cathy

for her contribution to the Parents’ Association whilst also balancing a challenging work commitment.

After the AGM the 2013 Parents’ Association was formed; office bearers are:

President: Kellie Liddell

Vice President: Kellie Moran

Secretary: Leanne Wolfe

Treasurer: Shereen Hook

Congratulations to these ladies; I know that the committee would love you to come and join the PA

meetings and contribute to the wonderful activities that they plan and organize to enhance a sense of

community and fundraise to support learning programs and resources.

Thank you to our Parents’ Association for the fabulous Easter Raffle which concluded last term; as usual

it was sensational…..especially that I won an Easter package.

ANZAC DAY

Our students represented our school at two ANZAC ceremonies this week:

The Junior School Council and our School Captains attended a ceremony at

Ringwood Lake on Wednesday 17th

April; they were welcomed by our Prime

Minister, Julia Gillard, which was quite a surprise and topic of excitement and

conversation to all of them. The students were commended on their reverence and

good manners by Miss Cody and Miss Lord, our JSC coordinators.

The School Captains, House/Vice House Captains and Social Service monitors attended a ceremony at

the Shrine on Thursday 18th

April. Again these students were exemplary, our school captains laid a

wreath on behalf of our students, and Maisie and Abby presented a wreath create by Mrs Dowzer, another

beauty! Our Premier, Denis Napthine attended the ceremony and took the time to shake many of the

students’ hands. The service was moving and our students appreciative of the experience.

HIGH PERFORMER

Congratulations to Daniel Boss in grade 6 for acquiring a scholarship to attend Tintern Grammar; this was

a result of his academic prowess! Well done!

ACTIVE AFTER SCHOOL COMMUNITIES

Again this term we are able to provide our students the

opportunity to engage in physical activities after school, thanks to

Mr Deith:

Multi-skills will be provided for grades 1 and 2 students on Tuesdays 3.45pm

Karate will be provided to our grades 3 – 6 on Mondays, both activities commencing the week of 29th

April.

NAPLAN

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)

Our year 3 and 5 students will sit for Literacy and Numeracy tests on Tuesday 14th

May, Wednesday 15th

May and Thursday 16th

May. The results of the tests provide diagnostic information for parents and

Page 3: AIM HIGH @ HEPSassets.heathmonteastps.vic.edu.au/media/newsletters... · Uniform Stall open in the gym 3.15pm – 3.45pm Uniform Stall open in the gym 8.40am-9am Uniform Stall open

teachers about a child’s performance in Language Conventions, Writing, Reading and Numeracy. This

information can be used to support teaching and learning programs and improve student achievement. Be

aware, though that this is only one test on one day in your child’s life and is certainly not the sole

indicator of your child’s success.

2013 ATTITUDES TO SCHOOL SURVEY

Students in grades 5/6 will have the opportunity to complete this survey over a two week period

commencing Monday 22nd

April; this should provide valuable feedback that enables us to better

understand how our students perceive HEPS as a place of learning.

WELCOME NEW STAFF

Welcome to Jacqui Greig who has commenced this term as an integration aide.

Also welcome to our School Nurse, Michelle Brown who will commence her role with us

on Monday 22nd

April. I am confident these ladies will complement the outstanding team

at HEPS. Michelle is a highly experienced nurse who has worked in

various hospitals and institutions; she comes highly acclaimed and we

look forward to her fulfilling this new and important role at HEPS.

OPPORTUNITIES TO BENEFIT OUR SCHOOL

shop at Woolworths please collect your points from the

checkout operator and place them on an Earn and Learn Points

Sheet. Once completed, place the sheet in the collection box near

Year Six School Captains and House Captains Student Leadership

Project Early this year, our School Captains and House Captains attended the Maroondah East Student Leadership

Day and have begun working on their 2013 project. You might remember that last year’s Sixes began the

Little Talents at assembly and created the Friendship Seats. This year’s students have chosen two new areas

to develop at HEPS, those being ‘rubbish and recycling’ and ‘Bullying- No Way!’ They have already begun

discussing their ideas and planning activities for the school community, deciding on roles and responsibilities

and creating an action plan. You will be hearing lots more from them this term, starting with our next

newsletter!

Term 2, our values focus is responsibility. Responsibility can be a tricky thing to understand. Have you ever had someone

say to you, “You need to be more responsible!”? Look inside the word

responsibility and you will find a clue to the meaning of the word. That clue is a

related word, response. Responsibility is about our response. It is about our

ability to respond positively and with care. It is about using the power of our

actions and our words, to complete our work and duties to the best of our ability. Next newsletter, I would

like to include your tips on how to show responsibility.

Please write your tips below and hand them into your teacher or to the office, so I can put them in the next

newsletter. Your ideas about responsibility will help other people know how to show that they are also

responsible.

How do you show responsibility at home, at school, at your club…?

FACILITIES AND GROUNDS… Our facilities and grounds team needs your help! Please check out the call for new members in this

newsletter. We meet once a month, and plan maintenance and improvements to our school. If you are

interested either give me a call at the office, or come to our first meeting of the new school council year,

on Monday 29th

at 6.30pm. We’ll be meeting in the new kitchen/science/technology facility, next to the

office.

FUNDRAISING….

SCRAP METAL FUNDRAISING DRIVE - Monday 27 May to Monday 3

June Pass the word around the neighbourhood! This term, we are having our first ever SCRAP METAL

FUNDRAISING DRIVE. We are looking forward to it being a great success…great for the environment

and great for HEPS. Eco Waste Recycling Centre and Super Safe Bin Hire will be delivering skips on a

regular basis during the week 27th

May to 3rd

June, so that our local community can deposit any scrap

metal.

The facilities team plan to also have a trailer crew who will come and pick up scrap metal from homes.

Let’s all get on board and see how much we can recycle and also how much money we can raise from this

opportunity to ‘clean up’ the neighbourhood!

In a couple of weeks we will have brochures ready to distribute around the neighbourhood, so if you

would like to lend a hand to spread the word, please call the office and ask to speak to Chris Finighan.

PLAYGROUND WISHES Last term the children made ‘playground wishes’ that you will see all around

the school. The children talked about how they would like to be treated and

how they also wanted other people to be treated. Here are some of their

thoughts and feelings…..

I will treat everyone kindly and fairly. Be kind! When I get stressed, I will ask someone for help- Ask someone for help and they will help you! Be caring I wish that everyone was letting everyone in-Include others…friends or not! Have fun I will encourage others to think positive things about themselves- I am awesome! I would like to always get along and let’s forgive each other. I will be nice to everyone ! Take care all and have fun, Mrs Fin

We are looking for new members who would like to contribute to the care and upkeep of our

wonderful school, and would like to invite interested parents to join our friendly and

enthusiastic facilities and grounds team.

Ride2School Day We were proud to participate in National Ride2School day on Friday 22

nd, March along with

thousands of other schools around the country. On that day, more than half our staff, students

and families chose to leave the car at home and walk, cycle, scooter or skate to school.

As part of Ride2School Day we received prizes donated from Ramp It, Sonix Family

Entertainment and Maroondah City Council. All students who walked, cycled, scooted or

skated to school were eligible to go in the draw to win one of the 15 prizes.

The prizes were drawn by Michael Blowfield from Maroondah City Council at our Monday

morning assembly. Congratulations to all the winners and to all those who participated on the

day. We look forward to seeing more children walking and riding to school throughout the

year. This is such a great way to start the day and stay active and healthy.

ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and

New Zealand, originally commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour the

members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in

the Ottoman Empire during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who

served and died in military operations for their countries ANZAC Day is also observed in the

Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn, and Tonga. It is no longer observed as a national holiday in Papua

New Guinea or Samoa.

Social service representatives will be coming around the school offering a range of ANZAC

commemorative items for your purchase. Prices range from $1.00 to $5.00.

If you are able to help with the washing of the sick bay linen

during the term, could you please leave your name and contact

number with the ladies at the office.
