As the year winds to a close, students are busy preparing for their
End of Year Concert items. Our theme for this year is “Out of
Africa”, the sets have been designed, the music is ready and it
promises to be a spectacular event. The concert commences at
6pm with the presentation of awards, followed by the items. We
look forward to welcoming each and every member of our
community to join us for this event.
Extension programs and Specialist programs for 2018 and 2019
This year we supported student learning with extension classes in
STEM and The Arts. These programs were supported by a range
of learning opportunities, parent engagement and outside
presenters. We are seeking feedback from parents with children
involved, regarding the value of these programs. As a school we
have seen value from them through increased student creativity,
problem solving and student engagement. I would be happy to
receive parent feedback about the programs via email, a short
note or through a visit to my office with comments. We thank Mrs
Newman and Mrs Hobley for presenting these programs. Mrs
Hobley will be leaving us in 2019 and we are currently looking for
someone to support the continuation of the program, with a
specific focus on inquiry learning and higher order thinking strate-
gies. We thank Mrs Hobley for all she has done and wish her the
best as she returns to her permanent role at Nyabing Primary
School.
As many of you will have heard, Miss McCarley is taking leave for
2019. Miss Palmer will step into the Physical Education role, having taught this in England prior to her
arrival in Western Australia. Miss Palmer will also adopt the role of the Specialist Science teacher. Miss
McCarley will be with us for the first 5 weeks, supporting staff release as we plan for our student programs
for 2019.
Teaching staff 2019
Mr Hale visited our Year 5 students on Friday, spending the day with them. He was impressed by their
work ethic and positive nature and is looking forward to working with them in 2019. I am pleased to
announce that we have secured Miss Claire Batchelor for 2019 to support our early years team of Miss
Smallacombe and Mrs Le Roux. Miss Batchelor is a former Katanning girl who has been teaching for
Braeside Primary School has a new
telephone number: 9821 3500
Our old number will be diverted for 11 months to
the new number. Please email documents as we
no longer have a fax machine.

8 years in the Early years. Currently working at Deanmore Primary, she has worked closely with the staff of
Jolimont Primary, a school our early years team is also working with. Claire is returning to Katanning with her
partner from Kojonup and we look forward to having her as a future member of staff. This leaves us fully
staffed with teachers for 2019, our Education Assistant positions have closed and we look forward to
announcing successful applicants in the next newsletter. The Aboriginal Indigenous Education Officer is also
currently advertised.
Class placement request forms were due last Friday and it is pleasing to see that many parents have taken the
opportunity to complete these. If you have any questions regarding arrangements for 2019, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
School Council 2019
School Council met yesterday and made modifications to the Terms of Reference for the School Council. These are to be actioned for the commencement of 2019. The period of tenure in positions has been increased to three years. School Council feels that a three year term for all positions gives a member time to understand the complexity of the role and an opportunity to develop deep knowledge, giving a higher value of contribution. Members who wish to only take on a two year term are able to resign before their term ends.
