Education Week Open Day—2018

Education Week is a statewide, annual event, held during the first week of August, to celebrate NSW public education. The week communicates the achievements of public schools, their students and the value of public education. Education Week 2018 runs from Monday, 6 August – Friday, 10 August.

The theme for 2018 Education Week is: Today's schools – creating tomorrow's world. It celebrates how NSW public schools are equipping young people with the skills and capabilities they need to thrive in a rapidly changing, globalised world.

Gardening at RHPS Students in 4-6C, 1/2S, 1M and 4I were fortunate to have an incursion sponsored by Baulkham Hills Council and Cleanaway on Wednesday 13 June. From this wonderful experience we now have our own worm farm to help reduce our crunch and sip waste from going into landfill. Our worm farm will help fertilise our gardens that we are caring for in our school. Writing from the incursion In 4I we had an incursion. It was all about a worm farm. We got to learn about the three bins – green, yellow and red. The next thing we learnt about was the actual worm farm and some of you might say they are very wet and gross but they’re not because the scraps and the soil make them soggy. Now for the fun bit! The worms were tiny and red. I got to hold one but when it was “weeing” on me it felt like water. The worms will eat our food scraps but remember don’t feed them oranges, onions, lemons or meat. By Josh E

On Wednesday 13th June 4I had a visitor from Cleanaway called Jess. Jess was here to give us a worm farm and to teach us the importance of recycling and putting our rubbish in the right bin. Did you know that worm wee helps plants to grow? That’s Amazing! By Chloe H

On Wednesday 13th June 4I had an incursion about what we can put into a worm farm and what we can’t. We also learnt about garden bins, recycling bins and the waste bin. We also got to hold worms. They felt like goo moving around I your hand. Jess from Cleanaway came to help us with learning about worm farms. By Isabella P

On Wednesday 13th June 4/6C participated in an incursion about worm farms with 4I. Jess from

Cleanaway told us how to make a worm farm and how to look after the worms. The worms need a worm

blanket made from old newspaper, moist soil to live in and food scraps to eat. We can use the worm wee

and poo as fertilizer for our garden. By 4/6C

Meet our Leaders I hope you enjoyed meeting our school prefects last fortnight. This week I take great pleasure in introducing our house captains for Rouse and Terry. Next fortnight we will meet the house captains for Davis and Kelly.

Name: Eugene Rouse House Captain

I have been at Rouse Hill Public School for 7

years. I started at Rouse Hill Public School

around halfway through Kindergarten.

I wanted to become a leader at Rouse Hill Public

School because it shows I am able to be trusted

by a multiple number of people.

The best thing about Rouse Hill Public School is

that there are a lot of fun activities and ways to

communicate with others.

If I was the Principal at Rouse Hill Public School I

would want teachers to teach gifted and

talented children more advanced things or

develop a program of

this sort.

Name: Bailee Rouse House Captain

I have been at Rouse Hill Public School for 7 years.

I wanted to become a leader at Rouse Hill Public

School because I enjoy the fact that younger kids are

looking up to me and asking me for help.

The best thing about Rouse Hill Public School is all

of the teachers because they are always willing to help

out, and they also give great advice on how we could

improve our work.

If I was the Principal at Rouse Hill Public School I

would get the court and the quiet area repainted.

Deputy Principal’s Report


Name: Deasharani Terry House Captain


years.

I wanted to become a leader at Rouse Hill

Public School so that all the students in the

grades below can look up to me.

The best thing about Rouse Hill Public

School is all the things the teachers do for

us as they are taking time out of their free

time.

If I was the Principal at Rouse Hill Public

School I would get the court repainted and

have recycling bins and green bins out in the

play area.

Name: Matthew Terry House Captain


years.

I wanted to become a leader at Rouse Hill

Public School because I love the privileges and

responsibilities that it comes with. I also love the

publicity. I get to influence decisions that the

school makes.

The best thing about Rouse Hill Public School

is PSSA sport. I like going out of school and

competing against other schools. I like the

opportunities it provides.

If I was the Principal at Rouse Hill Public

School I would make different electives and

different teachers for different subjects. I would

make the playground better and upgrade the oval

to artificial grass.



Deputy Principal’s Report

Semester 1 Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews

Teachers have been busy collecting and collating a range of assessments which have been used to

inform their half yearly reports. Student reports will be distributed in the last week of term. A note will

go home outlining when the school interviews site opens for bookings for parent teacher interviews

which will be held in the first few weeks of Term 3.

Beanies for Brain Cancer—A message from the SRC and Miss Quessy

The SRC wish to advise that our fundraiser for Term 2 will be held on Friday 6 July. We have chosen to

support the Mark Hughes Foundation by hosting a Beanies for Brain Cancer day. Students are

encouraged to wear a beanie on this day to raise money for Brain Cancer. A gold coin donation in

support of this wonderful charity would be greatly appreciated. Students are to wear their full school

uniform (K-2) or sports uniform (3-6) on this day.

A Holiday Thought...

As the holidays are fast approaching, remember to take a moment to reflect on how lucky we are as

parents to be able to ‘play’ with our children and enjoy the wonderment of being young. Playing with

our children creates some of the most wonderful memories…

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday period and enjoy spending quality family time together. I look

forward to seeing many smiling faces when students return to school on Tuesday 24 July.
