MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Students and Staff,

Congratulations and thankyou to everyone for a

highly successful Term 1. There have been a

number of new initiatives and programs that

the school has initiated this year and

indicators are that the student learning

programs will be enhanced as a result.

As I indicated to you last year the school has

received an additional $680,000.00 through

the Federal Government’s National Partnership

(NP). This significant amount of money is to be

used to develop programs that will improve

student learning outcomes. After a very

rigorous evaluation of school based data two of

the areas that were most in need are literacy

and community engagement.

This term we have implemented a very detailed

and intensive three year professional learning

program to improve student literacy skills. All

students from Year 1 – 6 have had their

reading fluency and comprehension assessed

individually using a standard process and we

look forward to reporting their progress over

the year.

The school has also tried to engage more

effectively with parents and caregivers. The

NP funding has allowed us to employ a

Community Liaison Officer (CLO), two days per

week. Mrs Naffa (Maysoun) is at school

Monday and Friday and works with ALL

parents. She has organised parent programs

that run almost every Monday with sessions

being held in English and Arabic.

Last week we held our first parent teacher

conferences for 2012 and it was great to see

so many of you throughout the year. The

teachers have said that they really enjoyed

meeting with parents/caregivers and that

spreading the conferences over the week

meant more time could be spent with you.

Please let us know if you found this more

valuable. Thank you for taking the time to work

with us in educating your children.

Last Day of School

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

It is hard to believe that this is the last newsletter for 2018. It has

been another outstanding year at Liverpool Public School with much

that we can celebrate. This week we hold our annual presentation

days where we recognise the excellence in our school in all areas of

school life. Letters have already been sent home to the parents and

carers of award recipients. For those not receiving an award this

year, reflect on how much you have grown this year in your learning

and as a person – take pride in what you have achieved.

I enjoyed our Thank You Morning Tea for all the volunteers that

support our school. These people are an asset and in a very busy

world, we all appreciate the time and dedication they have given to

support us all.

Like me, I am sure that you were amazed by our school production

“I’ve Got This Feeling”. So much hidden talent in our school –

students and staff! The success of the night was a result of months

of hard work by our students learning their lines and moves. Whilst

the stars of our show were the students, I must acknowledge the

work of staff behind the scenes and thank them for the additional

hours they put in after school and weekends to make sure it was

such a success.

This year we farewell a number of staff who are moving on to other

adventures. There are so many to thank and each one of them has

been an important part of our school. In particular, I would like to

acknowledge Mrs Sklavenidis who joined our school in 1998. I know

there are many who have valued your contributions to our school

and extra-curricular activities.

Thank you as well to Mrs Barnes, Mrs Markovski, Miss Comer, Miss

Padki, Mrs Cornish, Mrs Yalda, Mrs Lehane, Miss Kubacki, Ms Rae,

Mrs Miller, Mrs Paternoster, Miss Pirillo, Mrs Habra, Mrs Ayoubi, Mrs

Nissan, Mrs Kazemi and Miss Buxton. You have all made an impact

on our community and we wish you all the very best.

Congratulations on a great year of learning. Have a relaxing summer

break and Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating at this time of

year.

Mr Ian Tapuska

LIBRARY NEWS

Reminder to Year 6 Students

As a way of encouraging people to borrow books from our wonderful school library the school has made the decision to supply all our NEW students with a library bag. As our year 6 students are leaving this year to embark on their new adventure into High School, we would like to ask if the students could donate their library bag to school. This would enable our school to build up a supply of library bags to give to our new students who may enrol midway through the year, or to give a replacement library bag to students who may have lost their library bag.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLMENTS 2019 Kindergarten enrolments are now open for 2019. Any child who is turning 5 by 31 July 2019 is eligible to start school next year. Please call in at the office for further information, between the hours of 9:30am – 2:00pm Monday to Friday. Your child needs to be registered to take part in the Transition to School Program. Also if you are a temporary visa holder you need to apply now for Kindergarten enrolment to make sure that the paper work is completed in time. If you have any neighbours with children who are eligible to start school please pass this information on to them. The school needs to know the number of students who are intending to start school so that we can organise classes, timetables and ensure a smooth start to the school year. If you have any questions please ask. We are more than happy to assist.

SCHOOL PRODUCTION – ‘I’VE GOT THIS FEELING’ This term students had the opportunity to participate in the 2018 School Production ‘I’ve got this

Feeling’ based on Disney’s Pixar movie ‘Inside Out’. In Year groups, students have spent two

terms working hard on choreographing a routine that they performed in front of Liverpool Public

School, family and community members.

Our lead actors, Vaivai, Shahana, Robel, Darlene and Luna co-created and gave a stellar

performance of the five emotions (Anger, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Sadness) connecting the story

line through a progression of life of a primary school student. Students made a great contribution,

both on stage and behind the scenes, and played a pivotal role that made the show a success.

Our sound room team consisted of Hussein, Hope and Hashmad, and our ushers Sam, Lakeesha

and Helena.

Thank you to all the teachers, parents, students and community who supported our successful

production for 2018. We look forward to showcasing our talents to you in 2020.

SCHOOL SENIOR CHOIR

Once again the Senior Choir has impressed the public with their stage presence at Liverpool

Citizenship Awards Ceremony. The students enjoyed celebrating Liverpool’s 208th Birthday along

with exploring the Casula Powerhouse and learning a little about our history and community earlier

this term.

We received a personal letter from the Council commending our young performers as the “stars of

the show” and unexpectedly reunited with an ex student from the 1940s.

We are very proud of the commitment and effort these students have put in throughout the year,

well done Senior Choir team!

LIVERPOOL LIGHTNING SKIPPERS On the 23 November 2018, Liverpool Lightning skippers presented an outstanding performance to

support White Ribbon Day in Bigge Park. The students were accompanied by their teachers Mrs

Williams, Mrs Yalda and Ms Maharaj along with the community and some of our parents.

The team supported Liverpool City Council to help raise awareness for violence against

women. Liverpool Lightning Skippers were amazing at drawing in a crowd as they presented their

item in a new and challenging environment.

Well done to all students who were involved.

Thanks Shawin Maharaj & Georgette Yalda

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE NEWS Hindi Community Language students have visited Darcy Road Public School in September to

celebrate Hindi Diwas.

The students had a fun filled day participating in different workshops such as art and craft, dance

and games organised for the event. Children visited cultural stalls displaying artefacts, costumes,

famous people and food items of particular regions in India. They also participated in a dance

workshop learning “Dandiya”. Children were appreciated for their behaviour and participation.

Year 3 students are going to visit Girraween Public School for their Inaugural Community

Language Showcase Concert in December. It will be another great experience for our students to

get an opportunity to interact with students from other school.
