Dear Parents and Carers, Thank you for your support on our Faction Carnival Day. It was wonderful to see so many parents enjoying the day along with our students and staff. It was the first time in many years that we held the day on our school oval with P/P -10 students participating. I would like to acknowledge the work of our Athletics Committee; Michal Jasinski, Erica Sheridan, Stephen Pountney and Lindsay Gibson who together ensured our day was such a success. Congratulations to all our students for their effort and especially to those students who received Runner-up and Champion medals. Last week our year 8, 9 and 10 students had the opportunity to attend the play, The Merchant of Venice. Students dressed for the occasion, displayed impeccable manners throughout and were safely returned home by midnight. Thank you to Ms. Pratt who organised the event and to staff who attended to assist with supervision. Our Country Week plans are falling into place. We are very pleased that through support from our local community, i.e. Toodyay District High School P&C and Vernice, along with a subsidy provided by the school, we are sending two teams. Thank you to Michal Jasinski who has worked hard to organize this event and ensure the event’s success. We also appreciate the time given by our volunteers who are attending as coaches and staff who will assist with supervision. The onset of spring brings the annual problem of swooping magpies. We have some very protective magpies in the trees surrounding our oval. We have contacted the Shire Ranger and the Department of Conservation who are assisting us to ensure the playground is safe for our students. Parents, it would be appreciated if you could remind your children of the importance of ignoring the magpies as much as possible. Students need to wear hats at all times; broad brimmed hats provide the best coverage and protection. Staff will be extra vigilant while on duty on the oval. It is that time of the year when we commence planning for 2012. If you are aware that your child will not be attending Toodyay District High School in 2012, could you please notify the Front Office? You are welcome to phone, email or place your notice in writing by Friday 16th September. We would very much appreciate your assistance in this matter. On Tuesday 13th September the Launch for our Six from Borneo Project was held at the Old Goal in Toodyay. It was a special occasion, with distinguished and invited guests including the Consular General of Malaysia and Grant Woodhams MLA. Parents, community members and descendents of those who gave their lives in Borneo, also attended. It was an opportunity to acknowledge the work of our students and also remember the Dorizzi and Ferguson boys and many others who inspired the writing of the original play Six from Borneo. Our school community can be very proud of the achievements of our young students. Copies of the CD Six from Borneo were presented to those who attended.

Athletics Faction Carnival

By Erica Sheridan

A large crowd of spectators cheered and supported the P-2 students at their athletics carnival on the afternoon of 6 September. All the students showed great running style when they ran their 70m sprint in their faction. Some selected students ran a final as well. Afterwards the students participated in team games in their year level. The games were: flag relays, sack races, 3 legged races, ball games and dress ups. THANK YOU to all the wonderful parents who volunteered to help on the day. Without your help the carnival would not be possible or run as smoothly. Thank you also to the staff for their support and the students for their enthusiasm.

Active After School

Communities Tennis in Term 4

Yrs 1 - 3 In Term 4 the Active After School Communities program, as part of the Free Sport @ Toodyay DHS, will offer Hot Shots Tennis for our youngest Primary students. Mrs. Chitty will be our coach and we invite year 1-3 only. The program aims to offer a free sport for our primary school students and provide a link between the school and sport clubs in our community. Students will need to be picked up after the session, as transport is not provided. To register your child, please email [email protected] There are limited places, so be sure to secure a place by registering now. Free afternoon tea will be provided, e.g. a piece of fruit or a homemade muffin. P4-P7 students will have an opportunity to participate in AASC sport on Mondays. The program will start in week 1 and it is important that the registration is completed by the end of term 3. Priority will be given to children that do not belong to any sport club. Play for Life!

After School Arrangements Parents, please organise with your children their after school arrangements before school. We have a large amount of requests to pass messages on to students about travel/sport arrangements during the day and as the office is very busy, we cannot guarantee safe delivery of message on time. We also have quite a few students who forget their arrangements which can cause confusion. A good idea would be to put a reminder note in their lunchbox with after school sport/travel plans. School Buses - If your child wishes to travel on a school bus with a friend and is not an approved passenger, you must contact the appropriate bus driver with 24hr notice for approval.

Physical Education Uniform Please ensure your child is well equipped for sport, including appropriate and safe footwear. This Semester our students need to wear hats when outside the verandas and this also applies to Physical Education. Although the majority of 8-10 students are always prepared for sport, looking after their hygiene and making use of our changing facilities, there is a growing number of students choosing not to bring hats and sport shirts to school. I would like to encourage every student to bring sport gear and use it for Phys Ed. Showers with hot water are available in both changing rooms. The Phys Ed uniform is closely monitored and parents will be given feedback on their child’s progress. If you have any suggestions or queries please contact me at the school or email [email protected]

As our school has been invited to lead the town parade for the 175th Toodyay Celebrations on October 1st, we’d like as many children to wear their school uniform and take part in the parade as possible. This is a big honour for the school, and we’d like our children to be a part of it. As they’ll be marching at the very front of the parade, it’ll be a wonderful photo opportunity for parents!

Knitting Club

We are looking for a parent or grandparent to help our knitters each Friday at 11.00-12.00. We have an enthusiastic group who would love to have help, so if you are interested, please contact the school.

School Athletics Faction Carnival 2011

Congratulations to all primary and secondary students for the participation, effort and excellence that was on display on the Athletics Carnival, and has indeed been evident throughout the training sessions leading up to the main event. After a rain-soaked Friday, the Primary Long Jump and Turbo Javelin events were able to take place on the Monday afternoon with a great competitive atmosphere and much skill on display. Secondary students completed their Discus and Triple Jump events in Physical Education time. The weather brought us perfect conditions for the carnival day on the Tuesday and with a large number of parents, as well as student supporters, it was a fantastic day for the students to participate in sport. It was extremely pleasing to see the sportsmanship and enthusiasm with which the students participated on the day. Well done to all. Many thanks to all parents/carers who were able to assist on the day. Your efforts were much appreciated. If any parents are interested in receiving a detailed copy of all the carnival results, please email [email protected].

Woolworths Earn & Learn We now have until Oct. 18th to collect Earn & Learn points for our school.

Toodyay District High School is taking part in the Woolworths Earn & Learn community program. With over 7,000 learning resources available from Modern Teaching Aids, our school will be able to buy what we need most from a wide range of library books, mathematics and English resources, science equipment, music and dance resources, art & craft supplies and much, much more. From July 18th to October 18th 2011, Woolworths will give you one Earn & Learn point for every $10 you spend in store (excluding the purchase of cigarettes, alcohol and gift cards). Points will automatically appear on your shopping dockets, so all you need to do is save those dockets and bring them to school and put them in the special collection box that Woolies have given us. You will be able to track our progress on our points barometer poster at school or you can even check our progress online by looking on the web at www.woolworths.com.au/earnandlearn and typing ‘Toodyay’ into the search box.

Our running total so far, is:

8200 Points

School Billing System Things parents should know about the school's billing:

If your child is unable to attend an event that has been paid for (i.e. cadet camp), then billing can process and hold a credit for your account. This can then be applied to another item as it becomes available. Any credit can be held over into a new school term or even a new school year. So don’t worry, you will not lose your money. Statements are sent out monthly. Some items are to be paid straight away. However, there are some items like Interm Swimming that don’t have to be paid until just prior to attendance, the statement is giving you advanced notice that this cost is coming up.

Our school relies on parents paying their contributions, as this allows us to provide a more superior education programme than would otherwise be offered just on the funding we receive from the state government. Every encouragement is given to parents to contribute as best they possibly can. We offer PART PAYMENTS, we offer DIRECT DEPOSITS. I urge all parents to carefully consider how much more we can offer students in extra resources if every parent were to support the school and pay their child's contributions. If you are a parent of secondary students it would be superb if you could attend to these contributions as we are well away from meeting budget this year which will impact on student resources available to students.

We sincerely thank all those wonderful parents who have been slowly chipping away and making payments as they have funds available. Your efforts are most definitely appreciated.

MDSA Interschool Athletics Secondary MDSA Interschool Athletics Carnival will take place on Friday, 16th September at Gingin Recreation Centre Oval. The events will start at 9.45am with a presentation scheduled for 1.30pm. Parents are welcome to attend and cheer on the students.

In the past our students have performed exceptionally well. Students who do perform well at the interschool carnival (receiving 1st or 2nd place) are then selected to represent the MDSA at the School Sport WA Carnival early in term four which will be held at the new Athletics Stadium WA in Perth. In the past Toodyay DHS has had a good representation in the team and has performed very well.

Traditionally, TDHS provides Long Jump and Triple Jump officials at the Gingin carnival and we strongly rely on parents’ help. If you are available to assist please contact Mr. Jasinski at the school or email [email protected].

Here is the MDSA Interschool Athletics Team for Gingin. Congratulations to all the students who were selected to represent the school!

Toodyay Junior Tennis Junior Club for season 2011/12 is going to be held on a SUNDAY starting Sunday October 23 at 3.00pm. The change is being made to hopefully attract the older junior players back into tennis. Players aged 10 upwards are most welcome. Junior coaching with Maureen Smith (advanced level 3) and Therese Chitty (level 1 development) will be on a Thursday with three sessions available at 3, 4 and 5pm. Bookings for these sessions are essential and numbers will be limited. Coaching is available from 6 years of age upwards; a special Pee Wee tennis program is run for 6-8 year olds. Beginners of all ages are catered for. Maureen will hold advanced coaching lessons for experienced players. Contact Therese Chitty 95744274 for information and lesson bookings.

Jump Rope For Heart

The primary students will be participating in the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart 2011. This program is exciting and non-competitive which encourages children to become active, learn new skills and raise vital funds for cardiovascular research and community health programs. Beginning in week 8, the students will be learning a range of fun skipping skills and new tricks. Next term the students will be involved in a jump off day which celebrates the conclusion of the Heart Foundation jump rope for heart program. Prior to jump off day, the students will be bringing home a sponsorship form. Last year the Year 2/3 classes raised $3233 and I am sure with many more students involved this year, we will raise a considerable amount to help the Heart Foundation. The students may

also be eligible for a thank you prize for his/her fundraising efforts. I will keep you updated with information and details. Thank you for your support in joining us in the fight against heart disease. Donna Atkinson

Jump Rope For Heart -

Update

Primary classes have been very busy practicing their skipping skills and tricks. Some classes have incorporated skipping into their morning fitness programs. Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off day will be scheduled for Friday 18th November 2011. As Jump Off day approaches parents and guardians will be notified regarding class participation times and activities. Spectators are most welcome on this day. Students will be bringing sponsorship forms home after the holidays. Your support in joining us in the fight against heart disease is appreciated.

Guitar Lessons Would you like to learn classical guitar? Enrol for a course of eight lessons and you could be playing tunes by the end of one term! Naomi Millett teaches beginners from Year One to Year Ten on acoustic (nylon string) guitar. Learn to play this fantastic instrument in a relaxed, fun environment in groups of two, three or four. Discover some theory and learn to read the musical notes along the way. Classical guitar sets down the basics so you can later pick up other kinds of guitar (e.g. electric guitar) and play them too. Once you have accessed some basic equipment – a reasonably-priced student guitar and text book (with play-along CD), you are ready to begin. Why not give guitar a try?
