Shell Cove Public School Care for yourself, others and our school

Week 7 Term 2 2020 NEWSLETTER Ph: 4297 2247


Message from the Principal

I hope you had a great long weekend and enjoyed being able to get out with some restrictions being lifted. It is unbelievable to think there are only 22 days left until the end of the term!

Over the long weekend I purchased my son a Rubik’s Cube and I’d like to share some insights into learning something new:

1. Learning something new is frustrating, challenging and rewarding. 2. It is fantastic to have a patient teacher who explains steps at your

pace. Luckily, I have had George Lee in 4F to spend his lunches slowly teaching me how to do them. There is nothing more powerful than a great teacher!

3. Some days you feel like you’re going backwards. It is important to

have a growth mindset and realise that although you’re not there now, you’re on your way!

4. Persistence is key. Although at times I felt like throwing the Rubik’s

Cube, it’s important to take a breath, create some space and come back to the challenges in front of you.

The reason I’m sharing these insights is that many parents have found learning at home has opened their eyes into their child’s education. While at times we have been frustrated and annoyed, or had our patience and resilience tested, the power of a great teacher can never be underestimated. The school sign has displayed a message about a dynamic duo who are combating educational needs and I would like to thank parents for all the work that they have done.

The next challenge we will face together will be maintaining and strengthening the communication between parents and teachers. We are on the same team, we are working towards the same goal, together we will achieve greatness.
