CURIOSITY INCLUSION OWNERSHIP PASSION

NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Robyn Brooks Unfortunately over the last week we had some

plants stolen from our garden, which was publicly

outlined in the Sunraysia Daily and on our

Facebook page. The students were really

disappointed, after going to the trouble of

designing, costing and planting up the new

garden. We can gladly say that out of this

negativity, the Irymple South community have

provided some positivity. Thank you very much to Terri Zaccone, Jeremy Bruton and

Noah Bennett and their grandparents Ron and Judy Collingburn and Greening

Mildura. Their kind contribution has definitely put a smile back on the student’s faces.

Grandparents Day

We invite all Grandparents to school

on Monday 28th October. Students

love to show their grandparents how

they learn in the 21st century. The

grandparents are invited to attend

school from 9:00am to 11:30am. Please pencil this date into your calendar! We will

provide our grandparents with a special morning tea.

DAY FOR THE SAMOANS

Next Friday, 1st of November, Cooper, Hope,

Hunter and Ruben are running a day for the

country of Samoa. On this day we are asking all

students to dress up in red, white and/or blue (no

extravagant dress-ups required) and to bring

along a school supply donation. This could

include a packet of pens, pencils, notebook,

some erasers etc. It doesn’t have to be brand

new, just usable and in good condition. We are

doing this to help support children who are

struggling at school in Samoa as their schools

don’t have the supplies they need.


Colour Run

On December 6th,

Hanna, Natalie and

Mikayla will be holding a

colour run. A colour run is

where you have to run

through an obstacle

course and try to get

squirted by colourful, skin

-friendly dye. On the day

you are required to wear

a white t-shirt and old

pants. We are fundraising

for Kitty’s Crib and the

school.

A huge thanks to all those families who

have created an online profile for their

child and started the fundraising

journey. Please be aware that there is no

pressure from Irymple South that you must

participate in the fundraising for this

Leaders of Evolution project. The amount

of money raised by students is completely

optional. All of the students will still be able

to be involved in the Colour Run in

December, whether they raise $0 or $1000.

On Friday October 11th all students

received a sponsorship form and letter, the

more money you put in, the bigger the

prize!

Key dates are:

October 11th – sponsorship forms and letter

went home

November 15th – all money due back (NO

money to be deposited into the school‘s

account)

November 15th – November 20th – order

prizes. All prizes must be finalised online by

November 20th. Hats

All children are required to wear school

hats in the yard at all times from now on. If

a student does not have a hat they must sit

under the shade outside their class door or

sit under the shade sails in the eating area.

Our school actively supports Sunsmart

policies. School hats are available to House Sports Shirts

If you would like to order a House Shirt for

2020, now is the time to do it!

Please note these can not be bought off

the shelf in the store, they are purely an

online order.

Orders can be placed until Sunday 1st

December for the arrival to occur during

the first three weeks of next year. Once

again, please be aware that these are

online orders only and are the same sizing

as the school polo shirts.

Special Forever

Students in Grade 2 have created artworks for the

‘Special Forever: Voices of the Children’ exhibition. The

exhibition showcases work by children from across the

district. Opening for the exhibition is at 11:00am on

Saturday 26th October at the Mildura Arts Centre. The exhibition runs until

Sunday December 1st.

The students took a ‘selfie’ of their special place at school, drew a picture

of their special place and wrote about why it is their special place. They

then created a page for a book about the special places at ISPS. Each

class created a book which will be on display at the Arts Centre.

A copy of each student’s page has been uploaded to SeeSaw.


Water Week Poster Competition

During Art lessons in Term 3, all

students designed and

created a poster for ‘Water

Week’. The theme this year

was ‘It’s Time To Change the

World’. Students in Grades 5

& 6 were given the option to

use their iPads to create a digital poster. All posters have

been uploaded to each students’ SeeSaw page.

At assembly today, Alison Gercovich, from Lower Murray

Water, presented the winners and highly commended

artists with their prizes.

Congratulations to the following students whose art work

was recognised by the judges at Lower Murray Water.

Samoan Day

On the 1st of November Cooper, Hope, Hunter and

Ruben are running a day for the country of Samoa. On

this day we are asking all students to dress up in red,

white and/or blue (no extravagant dress-ups required)

and to bring along a school supply donation. This could

include a packet of pens, pencils, notebook, some erasers etc. It doesn’t have to be brand new, just

usable and in good condition. We are doing this to help support children who are struggling at school in

Samoa as their schools don’t have the supplies they need.

House Colour Walk

For every Friday in November (starting on the 8th) we would love to

see everyone dress in their house colours. Starting at 8:30 in the

morning, we will be walking laps of the Cross Country track and

recording the laps. Family members are welcome to join in the

walk to collect points for their House too! What a great way for

those students who purchased a House Shirt to get some wear.

These will still be normal school days, with normal learning but just

a twist with our House Colours.

This is a Leaders of Evolution project being organised by Claire,

Danica and Rhiannon

Colour Run

On December 6th, Hanna, Natalie and Mikayla will be holding a

colour run. A colour run is where you have to run through an

obstacle course and try to get squirted by colourful, skin-friendly

pants. We are fundraising for Kitty’s Crib and the school.

On Friday October 11th all students will receive a sponsorship form

and letter, the more money you put in, the bigger the prize!

November 15th – all money due back

November 15th – November 20th – order prizes. All prizes must be

finalised online by November 20th.

resilience. The School Camp program, which occurs for all year levels in Term 4, is not

included in the Parent Payment. All costs will be kept to a minimum and may change.
