Showcasing Kellyville Public School Synergy Performances Congratulations to our Stage 1 and 4-6 Synergy dance troupes under the direction of Mrs Trescott, Miss Borg and Mrs Gabriel. On Tuesday, 12th June, the children performed at the matinee performance at Evans Theatre, Penrith Panthers and on Thursday, 14th June they performed in the evening before a sell out crowd. Mrs Walker was part of the audience and she told me that she was extremely proud of students, teachers and parents. Thank you students and teachers for showcasing Kellyville Public School in such a special way.
Festival of Instrumental Music On Monday, 18th June, our students and staff were once again showcased at the Festival of Instrumental Music at the Opera House. This concert is an amazing experience for students and teachers alike. To be on stage playing the recorder at the Sydney Opera House is an experience that they will never forget. Mrs Walker attended this concert and she was extremely proud of students and their performance. Congratulations to Mrs Knight, Abrielle 6G, Shanice 6T, Noura 5G, Navya 5A, Mankaran 5A, Kylie 5A, Hasti 5B and Christian 5B. We are very proud of your achievement.
Band Camp Last weekend, our school band members attended the annual Band Camp at Vision Valley, Arcadia. The camp went from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon and the students attended tutorials and band rehearsals which culminated in a showcase performance for parents and friends on the Sunday afternoon. I was disappointed to miss the Sunday afternoon concert as it is a favourite of mine, however, I was sick with the flu. The next day I heard many parents commenting on how wonderful the performance was and how much the students had improved over the weekend. A huge thank you to Mrs Brice for organizing the camp and conducting the Junior Band and to Mr Clarke for his wonderful expertise with our Senior Band. Many thanks also to our fantastic parent and teacher helpers who assisted in many ways over the weekend. Mrs Walker stayed overnight on Saturday evening and Miss Emma Walker also gave up her time to assist over the weekend. Please see the article and photos on Page 6 of this newsletter.

Premier’s Debating Round 2 The Premier’s Debating team completed their round 2 debate on Friday, 23rd June at Matthew Pearce Public School.
The team were given 1 hour preparation time to oppose the topic, ‘Parents and primary schools should cooperate to
limit children’s screen time to 1 hour per day’. The team did an exceptional job to prepare and present well thought
out speeches in the allocated time. The debate was very close throughout but unfortunately Matthew Pearce won
the debate. Our team should be very proud of their efforts.

Festival of Instrumental Music
What an amazing evening! Last Monday evening, members of Kellyville Public School Recorder Ensemble were privileged to play at the Sydney Opera House. They were joined by 700 other recorder players and over 300 string players. Along with their three pieces (which they practised to play off by heart) other amazing items were heard, performed by numerous public school groups. The standard of music was outstandingly high and inspirational.
The members of our wonderful Recorder Ensemble worked hard all day rehearsing and
were rewarded with dinner and gelato before the concert. I was so proud of our players who
were beautifully behaved and wonderful ambassadors for our school.
Congratulations on your amazing
performance!

Writing Forum
Kindergarten parents are invited to attend a Writing Forum in KB on Wednesday 27th June between 9:00am and 9:40am. We will provide you with an overview of the process of learning to write. The forum will discuss the use of sounds to assist in spelling. We will address fine motor skills including handwriting. Examples of activities used in the classroom will be modelled so that you can these with your child at home. Parents are welcome to attend the session on the day. It would be helpful if you could let your child’s teacher know if you are planning to attend the session so we have an indication of those who are attending. We look forward to seeing you then. Please feel free to speak with Mrs McPhee or Mrs Burt if you have any concerns or questions in relation to the forum. Sonya McPhee Classroom Teacher
