FROM THE PRINCIPAL

McDonald Maths Competition On Tuesday we had two

teams of students compete in

the McDonald Maths

competition against many

schools from around Mackay.

The competition involves

students completing maths

and logic problems as a

whole team, and then

breaking into pairs for a relay

challenge. Both our teams

(consisting of year 5 & 6

students) finished just off the

placegetters which is a great

effort. Sporting Achievements Last week we had a number of students competing at Mackay

and District Athletics and Capricornia Regional Football

Championships. Congratulations to Will McBurney and Shayla Williams who

teams. Both Will and Shayla will travel to Brisbane for the State

selected in the Mackay Athletics team: Elisha Holdsworth Discus Luke Taylor 800m & 1500m Wilhelm Wienert 100m & 200m Bailey Raines Discus

Prep Parent Survey Northview, Fitzgerald, Mackay North and Glenella State Schools are all involved in an early years

transition project with local kindergartens which is examining our transition processes. We are after

some feedback from our current prep cohort regarding their experience transitioning from kindergarten

to primary school. If you could spare 2 mins to complete this short survey we’d be most appreciative.

Jobs include: ⇒ Weeding, pruning and mulching gardens ⇒ Repainting handball lines ⇒ Painting Prep Playground If you can come along and donate some of your time to help tidy up our school we’d be very appreciative. Premier’s Reading Challenge The Premier's Reading Challenge is an annual statewide initiative for state and non-state schools and home-educated students from Prep to Year 9, as well as children (aged up to five years) enrolled in an early childhood

centre. The Premier's Reading Challenge aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read for pleasure and

learning. In 2018, more than 2.46 million books were read by more than 180,000 Queensland children and students from

1,012 schools and 388 early childhood centres. The reading period for the 2018 Premier's Reading Challenge commenced on Monday 13th May and closes

Friday 23rd August. This year the Premier has challenged all state and non-state school students from Prep to

Year 2 to read or experience 20 books, Years 3 and 4 to read 20 books and Years 5 and 6 to read 15 books.

Experiencing books can include shared reading, listening to stories, or reading picture books. The aim for the

2018 challenge is engage more students than ever before. Students wishing to take part in this year’s challenge can register by talking to their class teacher or to

Mrs Sippel, our school’s Premier’s Reading Challenge coordinator. Every student who completes the challenge will receive a Certificate of Achievement signed by the Premier.

Students who participate but don’t complete the challenge receive a Certificate of Participation from the school. . For more information about the Premier’s Reading Challenge, please visit: http://education.qld.gov.au/schools/readingchallenge/ You can play a big part in your children’s future by encouraging them to be part of this positive initiative. We

look forward to seeing as many of our students as possible embrace the 2018 Premier’s Reading Challenge.
