Last night, our Year 6 students, their parents

and staff members enjoyed a meal together

to celebrate the end of their Primary

Schooling experience. Our students, Caleb,

Heidi, Thomas, Hayden, Molly, Cooper, Ryan

and Riley have all been such a big part of

Miling Primary School and we will miss them

next year. On behalf of Miling PS and the

Miling Community, we wish all students the

best of luck with their schooling in Perth next

year.

Acting Regional Director Visit

Acting Regional Director Leonie Clelland

visited our school on the 10th December. This

was a very productive and positive

experience as the conversations and support

she offered will be very helpful moving

forward into 2020. She also visited the

classrooms to observe and have many

conversations with the students and made

the comment about the lovely manners our

students demonstrate.

P & C End of the Year Assembly Tomorrow we will hold our annual P&C Book

Assembly at 1:30pm in the Library. Parents

are welcome to attend to see their child/ren

receive a book kindly donated by the P&C.

conclusion of the Book Assembly, please

notify their teacher and your bus contractor

prior.

Maintenance Upgrade

Some of our work has been completed

Tuesday. New flyscreen security doors have

been installed on the classrooms.

Student Attendance

Our student attendance as at the end of

2019 was 92%.

Farewell to our Leaving Families

We are very sad to say farewell to the

McNamara and Barnard families who have

been such an integral part of our school for

so many years. Many thanks for all that you

have done for the school over that time and

good luck in the future. Don’t be strangers!

Jarad and Cherise Martin will be having a

“rest” for 12 months but we will be waiting to

welcome you back when Isla enrols in 2021.

Students Return

Please note, students will return to school on

Monday 3 February in 2020.

A very merry Christmas and a happy and

healthy New Year from all the staff. Travel

safe and see you in 2020

high effort in completing homework throughout Term 4.

Senior Room Junior Room

Ms Murray

On Friday night at our end of year concert the kids performed “The Santa Interviews”.

They did an absolutely amazing job and had so much fun.

Merry Christmas from Miss Huggins, Mrs Lehmann and the Junior Room!

PROBLEM SOLVING

The Junior students started with a plain piece of white

paper, drew a Christmas picture, calculated and planned

how to create the longest paper chain that they could

possibly make. The students produced amazing results from

one piece of paper. Super Job Juniors!!!!!

Mrs Seymour

To end a wonderful term in Science the Junior Room made wind mills and made their own rain clouds.

While the Seniors created some edible meteors, asteroids and comets.

Quotes of the Week Plan ahead – it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. (source unknown)

One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account, or what my clothes looked like. But one hundred years from now, the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child. Anonymous

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. Dalai Lama

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s value out of a year while another man gets a full year’s value out of a week. Charles Dow Richards

TODAY’S FUNNY …

The Magician

A magician working on a cruise ship had been doing the same routine every night for a year or so. The audience appreciated him, and they changed often enough so that he didn't have to worry too much about new tricks. However, a parrot sat in the back row and watched him night after night, and finally figured out how the tricks worked. When the magician make a bouquet of flowers disappear, the parrot squawked, "Behind his back! Behind his back!" The magician was really annoyed, but the parrot belonged to the captain, so he couldn't get rid of him.

One day, the ship sprang a leak and sank. The magician managed to swim to a plank of wood floating by and grabbed on. The parrot was sitting at the other end of the plank. They just stared at each other and drifted. They drifted for three days, still not speaking. On the morning of the fourth day, the parrot looked over at the magician and said, "OK, I give up. Where did you hide the ship?"
