Learning Today for Tomorrow’s Community

WE VALUE RESPECT, PERSEVERANCE, PROBLEM SOLVING

From the Principal Student Feedback

Things we like about school:

My friends are here, I also enjoy learning, so school is the best place for me!

Learning because it can be fun and challenging

Working together, playing together

Learning new things

Meeting new teachers, working with teachers & SSOs

Using my imagination

Becoming smarter

More understanding of what I am learning

Children also enjoyed all learning areas including: Literacy, Science, Maths, Health & PE,

Japanese language & culture, Technology, The Arts, Choir, Library, Positive Education and

learning about mindfulness and calming down skills.

Invacuation / Evacuation Practice

At regular intervals the school will practise emergency invacuation and evacuation proce-

dures. This week we had an invacuation drill on Wednesday which proceeded very

smoothly and allowed us to make minor changes to our procedures.

May Reading Challenge

Dear Parents,

This year we will be participating in the Woolworths

Earn & Learn program. Through this program we will be

able to get new educational resources for our school.

All we need you to do is shop for your groceries at

Woolworths.

From Wednesday 15th July to Tuesday 8th September,

we are collecting Woolworths Earn & Learn Stick-

ers. You will get one Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker

for every $10 spent (excluding liquor, tobacco and gift

cards). Place the Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker onto

a Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheet and when it’s

complete, the Sticker Sheet can be dropped into the

Collection Box here at the school or at your local Wool-

worths.

At the end of the promotion, we’ll be able to get some

great new equipment. The range is extensive and offers

lots of items ideal for our students – including re-

sources for Maths, English, Science and some fantastic

fun supplies for Arts & Craft, Sport and for our library.

If you’d like to know more visit woolworths.com.au/

earnandlearn.

Could you please ensure that your child has correct

school Dress Code including winter tops. They are avail-

able at the front office. (Green/Gold Polo Shirt &

the school.

Greater Gawler Partnership Performance Review

All Site Leaders from the Greater Gawler Partnership attended a Performance Review on Wednesday 17th

June at DECD Hindmarsh from 8.45 to 12.30pm. Tony Harrison, Chief Executive Department of Education

and Child Development (DECD) has instigated annual Partnerships Performance reviews for all partnerships

across the state. Our review panel consisted of Tony Harrison, Kathryn Bruggemann, Ross Treadwell and

Anne Milliard.

The Core purpose of the review was

Using data to identify where outcomes are improving, static or declining

Articulating why these changes are taking place

Identifying where we need to do things differently to deliver better outcomes for students

The DECD Business Intelligence team presented site leaders with Australia’s 2012 PISA results and dis-

cussed where DECD and our Greater Gawler Partnership fit in relation to Australian and International re-

sults. Site Leaders were then asked questions relating to the data, with a focus on Numeracy and Literacy,

about their sites or sites they were co-located with.

Discussion included a focus on increasing

The proportion demonstrating the expected achievement

The number of year 3 higher bands students

The number who keep their higher bands from year3

Attendance

The Partnership will receive a report from the panel with recommendations that the partnership leaders

will need to implement to achieve improvement which we will discuss at next year’s review.
