Dear Parents and Carers

Indonesian Parent Classes

The response to begin a parent Indonesian class has

been overwhelming well received. The course will begin in

week 2 of Term 4. It will be held each Tuesday from

October 22 to week 9 December 10 starting at 3.15 till

4.30. The cost for the course will be $60 for 10

hours. This payment can be made online as IALF Parent

Class or at the office. This class will be presented in an

online format provided by Indonesia Australia Language

Foundation (IALF) from Bali. Our teacher will be a dear

friend of our school, Bu Dayu, who was our last

Indonesian native speaker from Bali. All classes will be

recorded and learning materials provided. Spaces are

available if anyone is interested joining up.

IALF is Indonesia’s premier institution for English and

Indonesian language training and it is a not-for-profit and

fee-for-service Indonesian education foundation

established in 1989 and led by a Board of Governors

based in Jakarta. Their vision is to be the leading provider

of language training and consultancy services in

Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region.

Their mission is to contribute to economic, social and

cultural development in Indonesia and the region, and to

enhance mutual respect and understanding between the

people of Indonesia and neighbouring countries such as

ours. This year our senior classes have been learning

through this online virtual school for one hour per week,

which has been highly successful.

Out of school hour’s care (OOSH)

We are still working towards creating an out hours of

service for child care. Our biggest blocker is that we do

not have the consistent numbers for each session for it to

be a viable ongoing service. Anyway there are whispers,

that more support is coming to rural schools such as ours,

so will keep it as a community focus.

Congratulations to Tegan, Harry and Mirranya for

representing our school at Lismore and thank you to all

the parents who provided transport.

On Saturday our staff got together with a number of other

schools at Frederickton PS implement making learning

visible to the students. This day will to go towards one of

the professional development days at the end of the year

after the students finish.

The Visible Learning school change model of professional

learning is based on one simple belief - every student

should experience at least one year’s growth over the

course of one school year.

This Week’s Whale Awards and Outstanding Progress Awards Principal’s Column

Visible Learning translates the research of

Professor John Hattie into a practical roadmap for

implementation in the classroom and school

wide. Today, schools around the world use Visible

Learning to examine their impact on student

achievement and create innovation in the

learning environment.

The staff focused on deepening our

understanding about creating learning intentions

and success criteria from the syllabus outcomes,

to help collaborative planning of a series of

lessons linked to progress in curriculum areas.

Together we then created a shared understanding

of effective learner characteristics and the

importance of learner dispositions that will

complement our Whale Values. This will be

shared with the community at the Spring Fair,

with an opportunity for your valuable feedback.

Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.

Our Year Advisor Mr Aaron Parker has enjoyed getting to know the Year 7 2020 students by visiting their

primary classes over the past two weeks. Thank you for making him welcome at your school.

All students whose parents completed and returned an EOI (Expression of Interest) should have received an

enrolment package in the mail. This needs to be completed and returned to the Macksville High School by

the 23/9/19 with a copy of the student’s birth certificate, proof of address (eg electricity bill) and their

vaccination records. Any students who did not receive an enrolment package and are planning to attend

Macksville High School may pick up a package at the High School office ASAP. Jenny Conway

Learned Leaders

Students from year 5/6 have been participating in public speaking

opportunities as part of Toastmasters. As part of this students

complete timed sessions of speaking aloud and are given feedback

from an evaluator (another student).

Today students did some excellent warm up speaking about their

favourite authors that was linked to English Textual Concepts. We

are all looking forward to our next session.
