From the Principal’s Desk… Congratulations to everyone for an amazing “BIG DAY OUT” last week. A lot of fun was had by all. The removal of the canteen and toilet buildings was very successful and the students returned that afternoon to brand new toilet facilities. The construction workmen are working around the clock to finish on Friday 16th December 2016. It’s exciting watching the final touches happening which are transforming the building into a school.
Last week the students voted for the 2017 student leaders. The speeches by ALL candidates were fantastic. Congratulations to all candidates, who made us all proud during their speeches.
The school Captains for 2017 are:
Saxon & Noah The vice-captains for 2017 are:
Aidan & Mariah
Please note that the first day of Term 1, 2 and 3 are
Staff Development Days. These days are non-
teaching days and focus on teacher professional
learning and school planning.
At the beginning of 2017 staff will return on Friday
27th January to participate in professional learning
and preparation for the commencement of the
school year. Staff has elected to work through to
9pm, on this day, to utilize this time more effectively.
The variation has been approved by the Director and
will replace the last day of the school year for
professional learning for staff i.e. Tuesday 19th
December 2017.
The main focus on professional development during
this day will be EAL/D, Reading, BEAR, Multilit and
Child Protection, as well as the usual organizational
discussions on staffing, timetabling, organizing
classrooms, WH&S and forming classes.
Students will return to school on Monday 30th
January 2017. Throughout this day 2017 classes will
be formed and information will go home that
afternoon informing parents of your child’s class
teacher and location. Currently the school is
expecting 84 Kindergarten children to commence on
Thursday 2nd February 2017 and the school will be
forming 18 classes for the school year.
An open morning is being planned for Monday 23rd
January 2017 from 9-11am. The NEW building will be
open for everyone to walk through and have a look at
the completed facilities prior to the children
returning for the 2017 school year.

Asthma apps for children Volunteers needed
Researchers at University of New South Wales, Macquarie University and University of South Australia are seeking volunteer research participants to share their thoughts about apps for children with asthma. Would the research project be a good fit for me and my child? You are eligible to participate if your child:
is aged 6 to 11 years
speaks English
has been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor
has access to a smartphone
can travel to the testing facilities in Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide
does not have any other serious health conditions. What would happen if I took part in the research project? If you decide to have your child take part in the research study, you and your child will:
complete a questionnaire (approximately 30 mins) and
participate in a focus group AND/OR a user-testing session of asthma apps (approximately 1 hour)
Will I be paid to take part in the research project? A $50 Westfield gift voucher will be provided per focus group or user-testing session to each family as reimbursement for their time. Who do I contact if I want more information or want to take part in the study? If you would like more information or are interested in being part of the study please contact:
