Term 4 - Week 4 / Week A
It is the end of Week 4 and the year is flying fast.
This week I attended an Early Action for Success
conference in Sydney with Mrs Simmons. We were
able to gather some new strategies to assist our
students with reading, writing and comprehension
and look forward to sharing this knowledge with our
staff for implementation in classrooms.
On Wednesday, our prospective Primary School
Captains delivered their speeches, and voting took
place afterwards. The successful candidates will
be announced at next week’s whole school
assembly.
I had the privilege of spending some time with
Kindergarten yesterday, responding to some letters
they wrote outlining what they would like to see in
our school. We discussed some of the things we
could and could not get, and had a deep
conversation about finance. It was really awesome
to see the class identify patterns in place value,
and some of the students reading numbers up to
ten million. That really was something exciting.
We are excited to announce that after evaluation,
including parent surveys, and staff training, we are
ready to go live with our new communications app,
Skoolbag. Please see the advertisement for
Skoolbag in today’s newsletter, which gives
instructions on how to download the app to your
device. This app will be used to send messages,
and keep an up to date events calendar. We will
continue to use Facebook to keep people up to
date with good news stories, but Skoolbag will be
used for message delivery.

PRIMARY NEWS
Almost half way through the term! A big thank you to all the parents and grandparents that came for our annual Grandparents day on Wednesday. The classrooms were full of interested grandparents who were joining in with the students learning. We then all enjoyed a delicious morning tea that was provided by the students. It was great to hear the conversations about what school used to be like and the memories some grandparents had of our school from when they attended Lake Cargelligo Central School. Congratulations to the Year 5 students who presented their Captain nominee speeches on Wednesday afternoon. Zarlia Norris, Charlotte Richards, Taiha Van Dyk, Billy Limbrick, Samuel Chamen and Lachlan McFadyen had the topic “What makes a strong Leader”. They all spoke extremely well and gave us lots to think about when voting took place later on. The Primary School Captains for 2017 will be announced next week at

Kids Speak
“Everyone look at that!” I screamed. I was so shocked that I dropped my ice-cream. Someone was riding a kangaroo. The kangaroo was going at a very high speed and the man fell off. He came crashing down the road. His heart was beating so fast so I called an ambulance. His legs could not move. The ambulance took a long, long time. By Tahnee Davis
