SCHOOL HEALTH INFORMATION

Last week our school community was subjected to a ‘vomiting bug’. This particular strain seems quite contagious. Thank you to everyone who responded to our calls to collect students who were presenting as unwell, as well as to parents who were able to keep children at home if unwell either throughout the night or in the morning.

Following is advise from the Health Department about exclusions due to ill health.

Exclude until 24 hours after the last incident Diarrhoea / Vomiting

Chickenpox Exclude until all blisters have dried.

Please note that a letter was sent home about this yesterday. The letter explained that the reason behind

exclusions is in order to protect staff and students. The letter also set out signs and symptoms to look for.

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: RELIEF TEACHER AIDE

Term 4 BEHAVIOUR FOCUS: CONFIDENCE & RESILIENCE

Habits of the Mind:

Confidence - accepting myself, taking risks, being independent

Resilience – emotional awareness, communication, thinking-feeling connections

This term we have begun learning about how these habits of the mind can affect how we think and feel and therefore how we behave in particular circumstances… which in turn affects what is happening around us.

If you, or anyone you know is interested in working as a relief

CITIZENSHIP &

ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Kindly sponsored by the Toogoolawah IGA.

darcy cubit

I have the pleasure of announcing this week’s Student

of the week and today it is

Darcy Cubit.

Darcy is a kind, thoughtful and

caring student who takes his

learning seriously. He wears

the correct school uniform

with pride. Darcy is able to

maintain a strong focus when

immersed in a task. He takes

on any task with enthusiasm

and determination and can be relied on to complete his

work in the time given.

Darcy demonstrates his confidence and resilience by

stepping out of his comfort zone to answer questions

and to speak in front of the class. He takes on board

feedback about his work and always strives to do the

best he can. Darcy’s ability to ask for help when he

doesn’t understand something or needs help has

helped him improve his academic results. Darcy always

volunteers to take on responsibility and assists both

staff and peers in both the classroom and playground.

Darcy consistently cooperates with others and has a

strong sense of fairness when participating in whole

group and small group activities. He shows respect and

consideration for others thoughts and actions when

learning by listening attentively to others and asking

relevant and thought provoking questions of his peers.

Darcy accepts responsibility for his actions and repairs

relationships with his peers independently. Darcy is the

well-mannered gentleman of Year 1. Keep working

hard Darcy your effort is paying off!

Congratulations Darcy!

TOOGOOLAWAH FIRE BRIGADE VISIT

Last Friday Prep and Year 1 were visited by the Toogoolawah Fire Brigade. The students learnt

all about fire safety. They got to try on fireman hats and coats, listen to the fireman through a

gas mask , hold the fire hose and have a tour of the fire truck. The children of Prep ad year 1

would like to thank Fireman Grant, Fireman Tim and Fireman Graham for giving up their

valuable time to come and talk to the students of Toogoolawah State School about Fire Safety.
