NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Robyn Brooks Learning Conferences
Thank you to all the families that have
attended and will attend the Learning
Conferences this week. We have had some
very positive feedback about these
conferences. It has been wonderful to see
students, parents and teachers discussing and
sharing the learning that has been happening
so far this year. If you were unable to make the
Learning Conferences, please contact your
child’s teacher to make a time to share their
learning.
Reports
Teachers are in the midst of testing and
moderating student’s work to enable them to
provide an accurate picture of your child’s
progress against the Australian VELS levels. Your
child will receive their report on the last
Thursday of term, Thursday 25th June. Cross Country
Congratulations to all the
students who competed in the
Interschool Cross Country
event on Monday. Will
Mitchem won the 9/10 boys
race with a record breaking
time of 7m and 14 secs!
Complete results can be
found further on in the
newsletter. Secondary College Excursions
Today our Grade 6 students attended a
‘Secondary Excursion’. The students visited Red
Cliffs Secondary, Irymple Secondary or Chaffey
Secondary College for a two hour visit. We
hope that they enjoyed this experience.
Walk to School, Breakfast and Healthy Lunch
and Farmer’s Market
Our next ‘Walk to School Day’ will be on
Wednesday 24th June. We will meet in Karadoc
Avenue and walk along the green belt to
school. All students, parents, family members
and even dogs are invited to walk to school.
When we get to school we will be providing
breakfast.
On this day the students are encouraged to
have a healthy and rubbish free lunch.
Our Farmer’s Market will be held after school.
We require people to help with the breakfast,
transport for school bags and donations for the
Farmer’s Market. If you are able to assist please
contact the school. Junior School Council Dress Up Day
On Friday June 27th the Junior School Council
are holding a dress up day. The theme for the
day is to ‘dress up as a future you’. Would you
like to be a scientist? Join the police force?
Become an explorer? The options are
endless. Please remind your children that the
day is about having fun and being creative, it
doesn’t really have to be your child’s future
dream!!! The Junior School Council have been
meeting nearly every Wednesday and a whole
school vote determined this theme for our dress
up day. We are looking to purchase some big
yard games (big Connect 4, big Jenga, big
Snakes ‘n’ Ladders) and some table tennis
tables for our yard, so a gold coin donation
would be appreciated. Labelling
As part of the Department of Education and
Early Childhood Development’s Health and
Safety Management Plan, new labelling will be
installed at our school.
The labels remind people to contact school
reception prior to undertaking any works at the
school, to ensure they have up-to-date
information from the school’s asbestos register.

Asbestos - which was used extensively in
building materials in the past but is now
banned - is considered safe unless damaged
or in poor condition.
The new labels form part of a comprehensive
program to ensure Victorian government
schools remain safe.
Children’s safety is our number one priority.
That is why we are taking this extra step as a
precaution. School Council Meeting
The next meeting of the School Council will be
on Wednesday 27th May at 6:30pm. Athletic Sports
Our Athletic Sports will be held on Tuesday 4th
August. Uniform
The weather has been cooler recently and
students need to dress appropriately. Please
make sure that your child wears correct
uniform to school each day, this includes
jumpers. Penni spent a couple of hours sorting
out the lost property box and table last week.
All named items of clothing were returned to
their owners. Remember to name ALL items of
clothing. Prep 2016 Enrolments
If you have a child who will be starting Prep in
2016 we are now accepting enrolments.
Please contact the office to arrange a tour of
the school. Enrolment packs are available at
the office. Facebook
Our ‘likes’ on our Facebook page continue to
grow. Facebook is another way that you can
find out what is happening at school. Photo Fundraiser
Over the weekend families had their photos
taken. Our school will receive a percentage of
the sales of these photos. Thanks to Steph
Flentjar for the coordination of this fundraiser. Garden Seats
We have purchased a number of garden seats
from Bunnings. These have been placed
around the school for the use of students and
parents.

1F’s Vegie Garden
This term in Inquiry we have been learning about
veggie gardens and how vegetables grow. We have
been busy shovelling dirt into our garden bed,
planting plants and keeping them well watered. We
fertilise our plants with our rich worm juice from our
worm farm (where our worms have been extremely busy on a daily basis). The
students have loved being outdoors, getting their hands dirty and having the
responsibility of looking after the outdoor area.
In our vegie garden we have:
broccoli
cauliflower
cabbage
peas
You may even like to plant some seasonal
vegetables at home. Some vegies in season are:
beans
cauliflower
garlic
broccoli
carrot
kale
cabbage
peas
onions
leeks
silverbeet
rocket

Last Friday students from Irymple Secondary
College came and taught the students the finer
points of football, soccer and netball. Thanks to
Gregor Allan and the ISC students. Students in 1F
had a great time!
‘The people from Irymple are learning how to be a
sport teacher. They came to teach us sport. They
taught us soccer, footy and netball. We learnt to
work together.’ Amelia
‘It is interesting when they taught us netball and
soccer. It was fun because we got to learn how to
play it properly.’ Jones
‘The boys taught us how to kick the footy properly. I
was really hard!’ Harper

P.E. with Mrs Bronson Over the last few weeks in Physical Education and in Health we have
continued to focus on fitness and in particular students improving their
own individual fitness. Students from Prep and Year 1 have been using a
pre-set fitness circuit as part of their regular PE session. Year 2 students
have looked at what fitness activities they do and where they can find
different sporting activities within the Sunraysia region. The Year 3
students have been looking at what activities they do during their day
and classifying them as active or not active. While the Year 4, 5 & 6
students are starting to have a go at designing, creating and leading
their own fitness circuits. Some of the components of fitness involved in
the circuits include; agility, speed, flexibility, local muscular endurance,
coordination, power, strength, balance and cardiovascular endurance.
The Year 3 to 6 classes have also been focusing on developing the ball
handling skills involved in the winter sports of football, soccer, netball and
rugby.
The Year 2 students have been extending their Fundamental Motor Skills
of kicking, throwing and catching and incorporating these skills into
game situations.
The Prep and Year 1 students have been working on the locomotion skills
of dodging and leaping and have also been introduced to tracking,
trapping and catching balls of various sizes, shapes and hardness.
Preps and Grade 1s have participated in Health sessions where we have
looked at identifying the parts of the body.

CONCERT 2015 Firstly, a little bit of concert information for our new families. We have our school concert every
second year. This year there will be two night performances on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday
19th of August at the Mildura Arts Centre. We will also have a full dress rehearsal on Tuesday 18th
at the Arts Centre. Each child will be in at least 2 items, which means they will require two
costumes. Tickets will be on sale closer to the date.
I would like to congratulate the grade 5/6 students who auditioned for concert acting roles. Mr
Smith, Mrs Vadlja and I were blown away last Tuesday, as 28 students auditioned for 9 roles. All
students showed great confidence and dedication in committing to the process. I’m yet to
meet with Karen Wilcock to see if there are any more roles that could be given to some of the
other students that auditioned. These roles could include being dance leaders for the infants.
Huge congratulations to the following grade 5/6 students for the roles they were given:
Mckensie Wade: Main character
Ruby Cashin: Main character’s friend
Lainie Black: Main character’s friend
Shari Brown: Main character’s friend
Maria Petrolo: Main character’s Mum
Bethany Hartwig: Narrator
Zali Doolan: Narrator
Chris D’Amico: Narrator
Tommy McGlashan: Extra speaking role
Students will begin rehearsals for our school concert in week 9 and will continue right up until the
concert in week 6 of Term 2. Karen Willcock will be working with the students to teach them their
class items. We are very excited to have her leading our concert again this year.
I would like to start planning each class’ costumes, so I will need 2 parent helpers for each class.
If you think you could help with this please read below, fill out the form and bring it back to Mrs
Milne or the office. In the last week of this term I’d like to meet with the class costume
coordinators.
Costume coordinators- I am looking for two costume coordinators for each classroom. This is
not a scary position, however it may require some of the following tasks- labelling and
checking off costumes for your class, planning/organising any costume working bees,
and helping me with any purchases for your class. You do not have to know how to sew!
If you think you are able to help, please fill in the form below and return it to Mrs Milne or
the office.
Hanging racks- We will also need a hanging rack for each classroom’s costumes, if you have
one at home that you are happy to loan us please let us know.
CONCERT COSTUME COORDINATOR
I would love to be a Concert Costume Coordinator!

the Aerodrome Ovals. Students competed in 9/10 year old boys and girls (2 kilometres), 11 year old boys
and girls (3 kilometres) and 12+ year old boys and girls (3 kilometres). ALL students preformed extremely
