Principal’s MessageDear Parents/Caregivers,

It has been another busy fortnight at Proston State School P-10 with some fantastic student achievements celebrated. These include: Awards Night, Classroom Celebrations and the Rural Christmas Break-up. The last 2 weeks of school are going to be even busier with the Year 10 Graduation, Iron and Clay Concert, Whole School Rewards Day, School Christmas Concert and end of year report cards. I am proud to say that at Proston State School P-10, not only do our students have opportunities to engage with learning experiences beyond the four walls of their classroom but they also do very well when they do. For all those who are anxiously awaiting the announcement of the Proston State School P-10, 2020 School House Captains and School Vice Captains please join us on Monday morning parade, 2/12/19 to find out which students were elected. Thank you to all parents, families and community members for attending the Proston State School P-10 2019 Awards Night, it was a great success and a night enjoyed by all.

Attendance at school:

At Proston State School P-10 we are very focused on ALL students attending every day and arriving at school on time for classes at 8:45am. We want to work with all families to ensure all students are getting optimal time at school. The chart below highlights the negative consequences of missing too many school days. EVERY DAY COUNTS!

Mrs Patricia Morris HPE, Science and Food Studies

With swimming lessons completed for this year, students are to be congratulated for these effort and enthusiasm during lessons. Remember over the holidays if you are around water to follow the Aquacode and if you go to the beach “swim between the flags”.

Year 3 & 4 NewsThis week students have been working hard on finishing their assessments. In Geography, they have been learning about significant places as well as sustainable practices. Students have also been learning about language features used in ‘The BFG’ during English. In Technology, they have started creating their dioramas. It is great to see the students working together and giving each other ideas for how to make something.

Rebecca Connell, Year 3/4 Teacher

Year 5 & 6 NewsThe Year 5/6 students have been busy this week working on multiple assessment items. For Science, the students have had to create an animal with certain adaptions to meet a particular environment. The students have had a lot of fun creating some very interesting creatures.
