Principal’s Report-Term3
Happy Education Week!
This week all public schools will be celebrating
Education Week – a week where we showcase the
amazing opportunities provided by public schools and
to acknowledge the wonderful work done within them.
At Junee North we continue to strive to ensure our
students are exposed to a wide and varied curriculum.
It is our purpose to prepare them to be life-long
learners, critical thinkers and problem solvers, globally
aware and respectful, responsible citizens.
We trust that those family members who were able to
join us for our Open Day, enjoyed their visit and gained
a further insight into their child’s learning.
We have a huge bumper (colour!) issue of the
newsletter for all of our families to celebrate!
Semester 2 SRC
Congratulations to the following students who have
been elected as the Student Representative Councillors
for their class:
K Red: Poppy Asmus & Trae Clarke
K Blue: Samantha Huckin & Tyson Mudge
Stage 1 Red: Milla Lewis & Milton Butt
Stage 1 Green: Tylah McAuliffe & Thomas Gallop
Stage 2 Blue: Ryhs Seery & Emily Edson
Stage 2 Green: Miah Robertson & Brayden Hewson-
Buckby
Stage 3 Yellow: Luke Moon & Torah Newman
Stage 3 Blue: Aimee White & Matthew Boyton
Early arrivals/ late departures
School hours for our students are from 9:20 – 3:20.
Teachers commence morning playground duty at 8:50
am. We continue to have some students arriving at
8:30 (and earlier!) – often with no teachers on site.
Frequently we also have parents collecting their
children prior to 3:20 with no valid reason. Whilst we
understand there are parking limitations around our
school, the learning of the children continues until
3:20. Children leaving early are missing vital learning if
this becomes a habit.
We would appreciate parent support in these matters.
Cyber Safety Talk
A police representative will visit the school on Mon 13
Aug to speak with all Stage 3 students on the
importance of cyber safety. There is an app that is
available to stop online gaming (fortnite) late into
night or other social media apps when timed out:
https://meetcircle.com/circle/
Lunches
Many students are turning up to school regularly
without food for the day which greatly affects the way
they function and learn for the day. We can cater for
the occasional emergency but it is vital that students
are provided with the right amount of food for the day.
Please assist us with this concern by checking that your
child has packed their food for the day.

What’s happening in our school?
Technology – STEM in the
classrooms
TODAY’S SCHOOLS – CREATING
TOMORROW’S WORLD !
DESIGNING, CREATING,
PROBLEM SOLVING &
TEAM WORK !
We had to design a digital accessory in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering & Maths) using only lego.
Our problem was to prevent people from putting their
phones into their pockets, then into the washing
machine. So we decided to build a machine to help
with this problem. Our machine called the iphone
detector will make sure that your phone does not go
through the wash. The iphone detector uses the smell
that the iphone will give off to alert you if there ia a
phone in the washing machine. If there is a phone in
the machine the detector will rattle. – Ben & Elizabeth.

In Stage 3 Blue we have been doing STEM-(Science,
Technology, Engineering & Maths). We had to design
and create a digital accessory to help in everyday life.
Our problem was to stop people putting strain on their
necks when using their mobile phones. Ruby and I
created a phone holder for people who may be too
busy or lazy to hold their phones at their desks while
working. We named our creation - THE RED HOLDER

BOOK WEEK FUN!
Tuesday 21 AUGUST
Come & join us for our annual Book Week celebration!
WHEN? Tuesday 21 August 2018
WHAT’S ON?
Book Fair in the Library – all day. Parents & children have the
opportunity to view & purchase great quality books. Children will bring
home a list of the books, with their prices that they are interested in
purchasing. Books will only be available for purchase on Tuesday. If you are
unable to make it on Tuesday a great idea would be to send the
appropriate money in a marked envelope with your child’s name and the
titles they wish to purchase. The Book Fair works on a commission basis.
The more books we sell, the more books we will be able to purchase for
our Library. Donations of purchased books are most welcome. Library open
all day for purchases.
Shared Reading Time @ 1:30 – bring along your blanket & favourite
stories to share (teddy bears are most welcome!). Hopefully we can read
outdoors if the weather is sunny!
1:50 – Afternoon Tea – bring along a healthy snack to share with your
family.
2:20 – Book Character Parade under the COLA. Children, toddlers (&
parents!) are welcome to dress up as their favourite book character.
