Dear Parents/ Carers,

PRINCIPAL SCHOLARSHIP

I have some exciting news to share with you all. I was successful in gaining a principal scholarship with the

Department of Education which I applied for last term. This means from Week 5, I will be travelling to

London for 2 weeks studying at London University as well as visiting different schools. This is a wonderful

opportunity to learn more about school improvement and I look forward to sharing my journey with you

all when I return. During this time, Mrs Karam will relieve as Principal, Mrs Dean as Deputy Principal, Ms

Batar as Instructional Leader and Mrs Sloggett as Assistant Principal. Mr Nguyen will teach 3B during this

time.

ROCKETING AROUND THE SCHOOL WITH MR PITT

K MAUBOY: On Tuesday I visited KM during their gymnastic session. This was a great opportunity for me to

see the lesson in action. It was evident that the children were very excited as we made our way to the hall.

The 3 gymnastic teachers were very helpful and explained the activities to the children. Some of the activities

include the mini-trampoline, balancing and walking like a crab. The lesson was great and I know KM is looking

forward to next Tuesday, which is the last week for the program.

4 SYKES: Last week I visited 4S during a very interesting lesson. Firstly, children needed to use their predicting and

visualising skills to interpret a piece of music titled ‘The Carnival of Animals’. After this Mrs Sloggett asked the children to

think about some of the instruments they could hear and to start thinking about what the music could represent by

drawing/ painting their ideas. The children in 4S were very creative in their design, but more importantly could

communicate and justify their thoughts. Check out some photos in this edition of the newsletter.

FAIRVALE ART EXHIBITION

I hope you have had the opportunity to visit our inaugural Fairvale Art Exhibition this week. The hall has

been filled with an amazing display of artworks from all students K-6. Congratulations to all students and a

very special thank you to the Creative Arts Project Team, led by Mrs Sloggett.

2020 ORGANISATION

We are currently organising class structures for 2020 and last week a note went home regarding families

plans for 2020. If you are returning to Fairvale PS in 2020 you do not need to do anything, however, if

you are planning on leaving the school OR returning a little late then we need you to complete this note.

If you would like to speak to someone about this, please contact the office.

Have a great fortnight, I’ll see you all in Week 7!

Anthony Pitt

Principal

Take a break with Mrs Karam!

Each fortnight I visit a ‘break activity’ group.

This week I visited the K-2 social skills group. The group is

led by Mrs Dove and Miss Shamon. It was great to hear that

there are lots of students who attend the group regularly.

When I visited we played a game of ‘What’s on my head’

and the students were challenged to ask specific questions

to guess the object that was on their friends head. It was

lots of fun! Students were also playing ‘Jenga’ on the floor

and I loved seeing the students collaborate to problem solve

how to keep the tower upright.

Makerspace was held in our newly refurbished library. It

was great to visit and see the exciting challenges that the

students are working on. This week they were tackling a

mechanical robot. The students were working together to

join the pieces and connect the battery. Mrs Orwin was

guiding the students throughout the process. I can’t wait to

see the finished product and how it all comes together.

Students in Year 1 and 2 have been participating in the

Cool@School program led by Miss Wulf. The program is designed

to promote healthy eating and active lifestyles among students.

Each week the students have been participating in key lessons

including learning how to cook and create delicious meals. Last

week the students graduated from the Cool@School program and

were fortunate to receive a delicious morning tea and bag of

goodies for their successful participation in the program. Mr Guy

Zangari and representatives from Cabra-Vale Diggers also

attended the special assembly.
