Notes from Mrs Hulonce…

Portland Bay School Buildings-

The process for removing these facilities has

begun in earnest this week. On Monday, 11th

November we will have cranes in operation in

the front car park, removing some of the first

structures. The trucks and cranes will be using

the front entry gate for both entry and exits

throughout the day.

PLEASE NOTE:

This will mean that parking and student drop offs

will be disrupted. Quick drop off in the morning

will be necessary, using the main entry and exit

gates as normal.

For student collection, we recommend parents

use the rear carpark (entry at the bottom of the

Fawthrop Street hill). If this is not possible, quick

collections in the afternoon will be necessary,

using the main entry and exit gates as normal.

Staff will be on duty as normal to assist and

ensure safety of all.

2020 Planning-

We are now creating class groupings for 2020.

Our Consultative Committee have determined

grade structures- 9 classes with an aim for

numbers less than 21 in each grade. We believe

in making the best use of our human resources

(and fabulous staff) to maximize student

learning opportunities. Staffing process results

will be announced when confirmed.

All students are being asked once again to

name four friends they would like to be in a

class with and we will use the usual computer

software process to form class lists. We have a

School Council approved class formation policy

which guides this process. This is a last call for

any parents with requests to come to the office

by 8th November. Thank you.

Remembrance Day-

A small ceremony will be held at Bundarra at

10.50am on Monday. We will have students

representing us at the Portland event also. Lest

we forget.

Grade 6 Netbooks-

These will be collected in the final weeks of term

4, so we can prepare them for use in secondary

school in 2020. We encourage families to start

thinking about saving data to external storage,

such as flash/ USB drives, as all will be wiped

during this process.

Have fun!

Persistence

1. Slow down

2. Say thank you

3. Smile

4. Take a deep breath

5. Compliment someone

6. Appreciate small things

7. Focus on awesomeness

8. Notice three things you are grateful for

right now – in this moment

Gratitude is a practice which

reminds us to be grateful for all

the things we have in our lives.

It helps us focus on the positive

parts of our lives and can

change our outlook when we

realise how many things we

have to be thankful for. We all

have something to be thankful

for if we look hard enough!

Gratitude is not always

automatic - it takes practice!

But if we show persistence we

can develop an attitude of

gratitude.

Begin a gratitude diary; write 3

things each day you are grateful

for. Over time, increase this to 5, 8

then 10 things each day. This can

be as simple as appreciating the

clothes on your back or for the

sunshine. Notice how you feel

after writing in your diary – do you

feel calm? Content? Happy?

Well done Haylie

Disher on

completing the

QuickSmart
