Term 3 Week 2 Thursday, 30 July 2020
Principal’s Message - Welcome back to Term Three
Covid-19
The department of Education is working tirelessly to keep students, staff and community safe during these times.
Directions are changing frequently and we are keeping as updated as possible. Students and staff are following health
guidelines and visitors to the school are undertaking the appropriate screening. This is a moving feast and we thank you
for your patience and support.
Attendance
As always the school and Department are closely monitoring student attendance. I have attached the Department of
Education’s Attendance Policy at the back of this newsletter for your information. Students are required at school unless
they are unwell or have communicated with the school and applied for Leave. Leave is not automatically granted and if a
suitable explanation is not given, a student can be marked as having Unjustified Leave.
The key message here is that communication needs to be free flowing between home and the school. If your child is un-
well and is not at school, it is your obligation to contact the school to inform us of their absence. You will be asked for a
doctor’s certificate if your child is off for two days or more. The Home School Liaison Officer is constantly monitoring our
school attendance data and has a process that we must follow. The school is mandated to follow this procedure. Thank
you for your co operation with these matters.
Personalised Learning Pathways
PLP meetings are currently taking place for Semester Two 2020. Thank you to those families that have already attended
these meetings and we look forward to seeing the remaining families over the coming days. The children have been
working hard to achieve their goals and plan new ones. Thank you to Miss Dayna Porter for coordinating these plans and
interviews.
Community Craft
Thank you to the girls at Bumbira Art and Culture Program who presented a work shop at Walhallow PS last week. Our
attendees did a great job creating an art piece on this year’s NAIDOC Theme - Always was, Always will be. Thank you to
our Community Craft Group for coordinating and catering.

The Echidna Room
The Rainbow Serpent Room
Coding with micro: bits.
This week students used block code to build a coin flip game on their micro: bit to simulate a real coin toss.
Welcome back to another busy term everyone. In the Rainbow Serpent Room we will be focusing
on writing this term and learning to write independently by following a Sentence a Day program. Our
main focus in Mathematics will be subtraction and learning to read the time confidently. In
Geography we will be looking at Country and how we can take care of the environment around us.
As part of this unit, we are reading the picture book Tom Tom by Rosemary Sullivan.
Students also
experimented with
pencil code.net
when they created

Clock making so that we can learn to read the time. Jacoebi working on his
