ACTING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Dear Parents and Carers,
Well, the July school holidays are almost upon us - in two days time. But I'm not
counting! This fortnight break allows staff and students to recharge their 'batteries'
for the next 10 weeks of Term 3. The frequently inclement weather during this break
does present its challenges of how to happily occupy the children. At least the
early morning school routines are not required, so perhaps a sleep in or two could
be enjoyed.
The Governing Council Election Day sausage sizzle was a huge success. So much
so that we had to do a quick dash to the supermarket to replenish supplies very
early on in the day. I was reliably informed that the food was delicious. Many
thanks to the merry band of volunteers who offered their time to support the
school in fundraising for the school grounds redevelopment. Thank you to Kerry
and his family, Allen, Sue, Louise, Maud, Nadia, Chris, Brenton, Lara, Emily, Brett,
Martha, Eliot and Ruth. Thanks also to our short term assistants - Edie, Ila and
Clementine.
Monday 25th July is a Pupil Free Day for Nailsworth Primary School. We are meeting
with our Adelaide Prospect Partnership schools so that staff from each site can
engage in professional learning with colleagues. Opportunities like this day allow
staff from different sites to exchange teaching ideas and engage in professional
dialogue on the Australian Curriculum. Term 3 will commence for all students on
Tuesday 26th July at 8:45am.
Our staff will be commencing the annual national collection of data on school
students with a disability. This collection of nationally consistent data involves staff
identifying students who fulfil a broad definition of disability - recognised learning
difficulties, health and mental conditions as well as identified students under the
DECD Disability Guidelines. If you have any questions regarding this collection
please contact me. Further information is available at:
http://www.education.gov.au/nationally-consistent-collection-data-school-
students-disability
In closing, I thank you for your support during Sharron's absence. Everyone (staff,
students and the community) have been most supportive. Special mention goes
to Jade and Mary for all their assistance over these past three weeks.

WEBSITE OF WONDER (WOW)
The website of wonder for this newsletter is:
http://www.whatsonforadelaidefamilies.com.au/
This website has an extensive guide of free school holiday
activities for Adelaide families.
LEARNING APP (LApp)
This fortnight’s LApp is:
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/action-movie-
fx/id489321253?mt=8
Many students have enjoyed making movies in Digital
Technologies for various audiences. Downloading this
app in the holidays might give some students an
opportunity to create movies with ACTION MOVIE FX as
this lets you add Hollywood effects to iPhone and iPad
movies that YOU shoot! It even has a STAR WARS UPDATE
which includes 7 exclusive effects created by the same
artists that made the feature films: Industrial Light & Magic
and Skywalker Sound!
I hope you find these useful. Have fun, enjoy!

If your child/ren will be attending the Ice Arena, please
ensure you pack lots of warm clothes as it is mighty cold in

Please ensure if your child is attending Latitude that they
wear enclosed shoes. Management from Latitude have
informed OSHC that if they do not have enclosed shoes
they will not be allowed to go on the rock climbing walls or
the sky walk.
Please refer to the program for departure times for
excursions and ensure that your children are at OSHC at

Introducing the PALs (Play at Lunchtimes) Program
to Nailsworth Primary School!
PALs is a buddy initiative aimed at engaging students in structured play and activity during
recess and lunch periods. The program provides a comprehensive structure for schools who
want to develop student leadership and build inclusive play and learning environments.
We were lucky that Andrew Delaney (a trained PALs leader/teacher) was able to fit us in
before the end of this Term to run a 1 day training session for interested Year 5 students.
This program is part of our school’s new incentive to promote
more positive play and further develop student’s social skills.
Timing couldn’t be better, with the playground being out of
action. This lunchtime program will give students an opportunity
to engage in more constructive and creative play activities,
which are lead and supported by trained Year 5 students who
will also act as peer mentors in the yard.
The PALs leaders will wear a special vest so they can be easily identified when they are on
‘play duty’ at recess or lunch. We will start off with running 2-3 sessions per week with the
PALs students leading and being responsible for the activities, under the supervision of yard
duty staff. Activities may include: organised games on the asphalt, creative play spaces with
props and materials, imaginative games with natural materials and other open-ended games
without the restrictions of rules to exclude people.
The PALs leaders are very excited to get started and we look forward to beginning the
program in Term 3.
Thank you for your anticipated support with this new and positive play and learning program.
