Week 5 – 14th November 2018 Sharing Our News

What an amazing turnout for our Meet and Greet Yarning

Circle with our parents and community members. It was

wonderful to share and listen to stories from all of our

elders, families and friends and a huge thanks to Pauline

Mitchell for organising the afternoon. It is important for King

Street Public School to share the knowledge and culture

with all students and today was the first step in working

together to promote Aboriginal education across the

school. We look forward to seeing many of our families join

us for future events.

This Thursday, twelve of our Year 5 students will be

delivering speeches to convince our students that they

should lead our school in 2019. These students have

organised posters for campaigning and have been

rehearsing their speeches for the past week. We are all

looking forward to finding out who will be our next leaders

for next year.

A huge thank to our P&C for purchasing the new book shelf

and lounge area for our library. The furniture is very

modern and bright and students will be able to utilise this

area during class and lunch times.

Our Kindergarten Transition Graduation was a huge

success and I would like to take this opportunity to thank

our parents for their commitment to the program. We

understand how important it is for the students to settle into

a new school and to be able to fit in to the school times,

structures and routines. I would also like to thank all of our

teachers and office staff who were instrumental in providing

such a quality program throughout the eight weeks. We

look forward to seeing all of our new Kinders in 2019.

Leadership Election Process – 2019 School

Leaders

It is with great pride and excitement that we have

our nominated school leaders for 2019. The

process, in which they were elected, has long been

used at KSPS and has always produced quality

candidates.

It starts with a Stage 3 peer nomination; anyone is

allowed to be nominated by another student in Stage

3. Students have the choice whether they would like

to accept or decline.

Once we have this list (which is usually 15-30

students of each gender) students from Stage 3 then

do a formal ballot to select the top six boys and girls

candidates.

Students who do not make the top 12 candidates

list, still have the opportunity to run for House

Captain and/or become a 009 Leader at KSPS.

These 12 students will complete a nomination form

and then begin the formal Leadership Election

Process. Below is a timeline of events for the

Leadership Election Process.

Timeline:

Thursday 15th November, leadership

speeches commencing at 9:30am.

Nominated leaders will be informed of the

outcome of the voting on Monday 19th

November at 2:30pm in a private meeting.

Tuesday 20th November at the morning

assembly the successful Captains Elect for

2019 will be announced, all parents and

carers welcome.

Tuesday 27th November, House Captains

give short speech and voting takes place in

House Meetings.

Thursday 29th November, House Captains

will be announced at the Morning Assembly.

Presentation Day – Friday 14th December,

School Captains and House Captains are

officially recognised through formal process.
