Book Character Parade What an outstanding day it was yesterday, our students looked amazing. The effort of our students and our whole school community was outstanding and truly representative of our vision statement. The feedback from the parents and community was very positive. Thank you once again to you all for continuing to strengthen our culture at NHPS with events like this.

Week 5

22 August 2018 Nambucca Heads Public School is an outstanding school, our team is proud of our strong culture, high expectations and successful learners. We cater for the whole child and every single person in our learning community is welcomed, valued and included. Our future focused learning design enables students to be resilient, persistent and confident learners.

been working hard for two years now to improve our learning design for our students. Last week I interviewed Lior and Jundamir in their literacy group with the five questions I have been asking students this year: 1. What are you learning? 2. How do you know if you are doing

well? 3. What do you do if you are finding

it hard? 4. How do you know when you are

finished? 5. Can you give me an example of

when you have used the resources in the room and gone further with your learning without the teacher?

We know that if the students are able to answer these questions then we have done a good job of the learning design in the classroom. We are creating an environment which enables the students to go forward without needing to check in with the teacher all of the time. Obviously the teacher is still necessary but the students are now not limited by the time the teacher has available to give to them. This is future focused learning and I was so excited to hear Jundamir and Lior absolutely nail their responses to me within our interview.

Proud to be a Positive Behaviour for Learning School

Principal’s report cont….

Well done to the students and well done to our teachers. We are creating an environment where students can become independent learners and have the ability to reach as far as they believe is possible with their

learning.

What’s Happening with Got It!

Now that all the Strengths and

Difficulties Questionnaires have been returned and eval-uated Got It! will be getting in touch with families to organise one on one meetings to discuss their child’s results in the up-

coming weeks. These meetings will be for the families with children in years K-3 that scored in our target range for our Exploring To-

gether program. When we call it will appear as a private number. A letter will also be going home with the children this week to detail what the meeting is for and

when we will be offering these personal meet and greets.

We are looking forward to

getting a chance to meet with

the families from Nambucca

Heads Public School.

Bright Star Idea: At the dinner table, ask each person to

say what made them happy

today :)

Musical Can’t wait to see the musical next week.

Students had a rehearsal today!

His training is in pe-diatrics and child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. Siegel is known as a mind-fulness expert and for his work developing the field of Interpersonal Neurobiol-ogy, which is an interdisciplinary view of life experience that draws on over a dozen branches of science to create a framework for understanding our subjec-tive and interpersonal lives.

She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, where her re-search explored attachment science, childrearing theory, and the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology.
