Dear Parents/Caregivers, I had an absolute blast on camp last week with our amazing Year 6 students, Mrs Whitbread, Mrs Dunbar, Mr Powers and Mr Green. Everywhere we went the students received compliments and comments about their conduct and genuine interest and curiosity. We had a few cases of gastro, but the affected students took it all in their stride, rested for a day and launched straight back into the learning and fun. The special school initiated ‘surprise’ which has become a tradition, was an evening at SkyZone, a trampolining and rock climbing place. Some of the students amazed us with their agility and enthusiasm for performing outlandish tricks, all under the watchful eye of the SkyZone coaches. The future of our school camp to Canberra is dependent on the outcome of a parent survey, soon to be launched. Keep you eye on our ‘app’ and Facebook page for updates and notification of survey launch. WA Education Awards I am both honoured and proud to have nominated for the following awards; Premier’s Teacher of the Year – Miss Jessica Stevens (ECE Coordinator), Mrs Suzie Powell (Gumala 0-3 Playgroup Coordinator) and Mrs Louise Woodvine (Aboriginal Enrichment Program Coordinator). Premier’s Excellence in Aboriginal Education- Baynton West Primary School School Support Service staff member of the Year – Mrs Justine Passmore (Manager of Corporate Services) and Catherine Wall (Library Officer) WA Beginning Teacher of the Year – Mr Jack Powers I'm sure you all join me in congratulating these nominees on the hard work and multiple achievements. They're already winners in my eyes. Float Parade Congratulations to our hardworking and very creative P&C for this event. Not only did we come second, a great achievement, it was an opportunity to really bring our community together. I somehow ended up on the truck, which was a privilege and lots of fun, and thoroughly enjoyed singing and watching the pride on our wonderful school community’s faces as they marched behind. The coordinators: Mrs Jolene Twaddle, Mrs Megan Wood-Hill along with P&C president, Mrs Caroline Taylor did an outstanding job. Open Night It was heartening to see so many students and their families, including many proud grandparents attend our recent open night. The classrooms all were overflowing with student work, with children doing a great job of guiding their parents through their learning and I was thrilled to see so many families interacting with our our STEM equipment. Many thanks to our P&C for providing dinner, tea and coffee and a sneak preview of our float parade tree. I'm sure you all agree the performances were excellent. Thank you to everyone involved.

Year 6 Canberra Camp Illness notification It appears that our school has been hit hard with a nasty strain of gastro! One day a few weeks ago there was 126 students away. Unfortunately we only know that some of these students were unwell, due to being informed of absence by parents/caregivers. We don't know and can't account for the whereabouts of many of the other students! A reminder it is a requirement to let schools know of the reason for a student’s absence within 3 days of the student returning. Keep up to date It is important for families to take ownership and responsibility for remaining in the loop. The school provides an ‘app’, a business Facebook page along with a regularly updated website. You can also request a paper copy of the newsletter or call in at the office to collect a copy. Please ensure you stay informed to avoid missing out on important events and milestones in your child’s life. Point Samson Kids Art Awards and Photography Competition Community members and schools were invited to submit work into the Point Samson Photography and Art Awards 2017.

Sustainability News This year the Sustainability Committee has been busy working on several projects. You may have noticed composting tumblers in the gardens beside each teaching block. This is because we have extended our Composting Program to include the whole school. Each classroom and the canteen is now diverting crunch and sip scraps from landfill and turning it into compost to be used on our vegetable gardens which have also been freshly planted. Room 2 and Room 19 have also started worm farms as another way of putting our fruit and vegetable scraps to good use. The worm wiz produced will be excellent fertilizer for our vegetable gardens. We can’t wait to sample some of our delicious home grown produce! At the end of Term 2 we held a Nude Food Day and were very pleased with the response from our Baynton West families. Congratulations to Rooms 16 and 21 who both had a total of only 4 pieces of packaging in their class lunchboxes. It is fantastic to see classes trying hard to reduce the amount of packaging that goes to landfill. Our current project includes using recycled materials to build an Indigenous Yarning Circle which will also include bush tucker gardens. Students have really come on board to help with this project and we have formed a Sustainability Club which meets every Tuesday at lunch time. Students are involved in the design and building of the Yarning Circle and are pitching in to help clear the space to make it ready for construction. They also help with the composting and maintenance of the vegetable gardens. It is great to see so many students giving up their play time for such a good cause. The Yarning Circle is due to be completed in September and we are looking forward to using this space. Finally, don’t forget we are a collection point for used batteries and printer cartridges so please bring them in and we will recycle them for you.

Warruwarru is off and racing! The Whaleshark Race Around the World 2017 has kicked off this week and the students are all very excited about following his progress throughout the race.
