21st Century tools at Maroubra Bay This week we are very excited to introduce new technologies into our classrooms and community, designed to inform, educate, collaborate and engage at a much higher level than ever before.
For students in Years 5 and 6, we are rolling out Chromebooks into the classrooms. We currently have 16 Chromebooks that students will be accessing for their Google Classroom lessons each week. This is an exci ng shi in how students collaborate, communi‐cate, create and innovate and will assist them in their journey towards High School. Both students and staff are very excited by this development.
For parents, this week we launched our official Instagram and Facebook pages which the community can follow and like. We see these pages as a much
more instant form of communica on, highligh ng the various ac vi es at school, giving parents quicker messages and another way to feel part of the journey at Maroubra Bay. We hope the community embrace these new tools of communica on.
These Social Media pages are official departmental pages and are the responsibility of the Principal. Parents can like or comment on our posts, however they cannot make posts themselves on our
pages. The school Social Media Policy 2016 is available on our website (Our School: School Policies) as well as in our front office.
As with all new ini a ves, especially in the communica on area, the school takes very seriously parents wishes in terms of permission to publish. Only the Principal and Assistant Principal can upload images and messages onto social media and are well aware of any students that do not have permission for images to be taken. If you are unsure or would like to discuss this issue, please come up and see the Principal at any stage.
Temora West PS Camp On Monday, 16 of our Year 4 and 5 students will travel with Mr McFadyen and Mrs Jovanovska to Temora in south west NSW. They will spend all week visi ng the school, the local mine and area in an environmental camp thanks to Randwick Council. We wish them all the very best on this fantas c opportunity.
Enjoy your weekend.

SRC Environmental Tip The SRC have been looking at our schools environmental pro‐grams; par cularly on making our recycling more efficient. Be‐cause we are being a recycling focussed group we thought we would put in a weekly p to help with the cause. This p of the week will appear in the newsle er for the next few weeks.
The focus for this week is reducing.
Stainless steel bo les are reusable and last a long me.
Many students currently use so plas c bo les which they dispose a er about a week.
Rethink what you are buying in regards to packaging and food.
Try Snack Pockets for lunches. This is a great alterna ve to plas c wraps. They are not only environmentally friendly but a great cost cu er
Let’s make a difference now.

Senior AFL Report Last Friday the horn sounded for the 1st third of the match be‐tween Maroubra Bay and Pagewood in senior AFL. Unfortunate‐ly, we were down three players, but we s ll managed to put up a strong fight against Pagewood. At the end of the 1st third Maroubra Bay was down 20‐7. With a few swoops Maroubra Bay managed to get back on track, scoring 2 goals straight away in the 2nd third. By the end of the 2nd third we were s ll trailing Pagewood 33‐31. In the final quarter we managed some excel‐lent handpasses and kicks, and by the me it was full me we won with a score of 46‐35. We would like to thank Mr Crowther for umpiring the game.

5/6G Report This term students have been par cipa ng in the Tools for Transi on program.
Students have been focusing on the idea of mindfulness, a prac ce that trains the brain to slow down and pro‐cess sensory data. They have prac sed mindful aware‐ness through deep belly breathing. Focusing on breath‐ing can help calm the body by slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and sharpening focus. Con‐trolled breathing also calms the body and mind and de‐creases anxiety. This helps the brain to become more reflec ve and less reac ve.
Over me, this strengthens neural pathways and con‐nec ons and mindful awareness moves from being a state to a long‐term trait. The breathing exercises have taught students that the breath helps to regulate the body and that each of us has more control over our bod‐ies than we think.
Students have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and are looking forward to con nuing to develop skills that will help them to take control over their minds and bodies in the coming years.
