Year 6 School Leaders 2019

Congratulations to Room 7 for a fantastic first assembly about how we can all be

superheroes. Our Year 6 students have all earnt their Student Leader badges as they have

had 20 days of “Good Standing,” meaning they have made good choices and have

followed the school expectations. All of our Year 6 students are leaders and we are really

proud of them and the work they have achieved towards earning points for their

challenges so far.

NAPLAN Testing Exemptions and Withdrawals

NAPLAN tests are a routine part of the school calendar. However, if students have a

significant disability or have a non-English speaking background and arrived in Australia less

than 1 year before the tests, parents can choose to have their child exempt from the test.

While participation by all students is expected, students may be withdrawn from the testing

program by their parent or carer. Withdrawals are intended to address issues such as religious

beliefs and/or philosophical objections to testing. A formal application must be received by

the Principal. Please contact the school should you wish to discuss withdrawal or exemption

for your child. Thanks.

Lunch time Activities for Students

We have a number of lunchtime clubs happening this term. We have the solar Car Challenge

Team, Numero, and Art and Craft. The Library is open most lunchtimes and in wet weather

or hot weather, students are able to play in the hall.

Welcome to Nerissai Govender—Social Worker Curtin University

This term we have a Curtin University Social Worker student working with us to support

students in need. Students will be working with Ms Govender for a variety of reasons, which

include anxiety, needing help to deal with conflict situations, developing and maintaining

friendships, as well as students who might need someone to talk to about any issues they may

be dealing with. Thanks to our families for supporting this.

Parent Communication at Wandina Primary School

We use a number of ways to communicate with our school community. Please download the School app to your phone so

you can receive push notifications about what is happening in the school.

We also use facebook, please follow or like our facebook page to see some of the great things our students and staff do at

Wandina PS.

Seesaw is a way that classroom teachers share what your child is learning in class. It may not always be the final published

piece of work as learning is a jurney and as you know, we all learn from the mistakes we make.

As dedicated as our staff are, they also have a life outside of school. If you message or email after 4.30pm or before 8am,

staff may not get back to you until the next day or later that morning. Please respect their personal or family time.

Harmony Day 20th March 2019– Parent Helpers

We are organising a fantastic Harmony Day celebration this year. We are asking if we have any parents that could

share stories about their family background, help with Art activities or help with making some yummy foods in class-

rooms. Please let Mrs Chalwe or let the front office know if you are able to help out.

We are also inviting parents to join us for lunch on this day. The canteen will be making some yummy foods that you

can purchase to enjoy with your children on Harmony Day.

well.

You can even place orders up to a month in advance. It's simple and easy to use; even the kids can do it!

A friendly reminder that Kara, our canteen superstar, relies on the help of volunteers to get all the orders out.

The Tucker Hut provides nutritious, home cooked meals for both recess & lunch on Wednesday, Thursday and

Friday’s.

Please also take 2 minutes to complete the canteen survey posted on the P&C Facebook page. We would like

feedback on how we are doing and what we can do to get parents to use the canteen more often.

Playground Use after School

Please be aware that the school is not liable for students who hurt themselves playing on the playground after

school hours. Students must be with a parent, as the parent will have duty of care. Please make sure children

are playing safe and being respectful of school property and looking after the equipment. Parents and students

are asked to leave the school grounds before 3.30pm, unless you have a meeting or extra curricular activity in

the school grounds, as this is when After School Care close the front gates.
