helpers who volunteered to assist on the night and to the teachers Mrs Eves, Miss Kelly, Mrs Sirohi, Miss Marshall and Mrs

Hayman for supporting the students.

please hand it in to the front office as soon as convenient.

P&C - The next P&C meeting will be held on Monday night, 13th November at 7.30pm in the library. At this meeting Miss

Kelly will be speaking about Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) which is a program that will be launched in 2018,

PLANNING PROCESS FOR 2018 - As mentioned in previous newsletters, the planning process is underway for 2018

and it is necessary for us to have accurate numbers for the commencement of the year. If you know you are leaving the

ENDEAVOUR LOG - Term 4 Week 5 - November 9, 2017.

BLACKTOWN LEARNING COMMUNITY’S PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

Congratulations to our participants in the BLC Public Speaking Competition which was held at Bert Oldfield PS last

Wednesday and Thursday. Cameron E spoke confidently in the Year 3 competition. He entertained with thoughts about

whether space aliens do exist. Joshua B told everyone stories about when he is happiest playing footy or at Copacabana

in the Year 4 section of the competition. Josaia D moved the audience by explaining how he was happiest doing things

with his family in the Year 5 competition. In the Year 6 competition, Lillian B explained how she would eliminate

poverty if she could change the world.

It is always so rewarding taking KLPS students to participate in a public speaking competition because our speakers are

always so well prepared and represent us with pride. All children spoke beautifully and were a credit to their families,

their school and themselves. I know that the parents and grandparents who came along to support our students enjoyed

listening to such excellent speakers. We were very proud! Well done!

Year 6 will be holding their annual Mini Fete to raise money for

their gift to the school. For this, we ask students to bring some

money so they can participate in the activities organised. The

activities are 50c and there is a wide variety of activities for the

students to enjoy. Some of these include the commando course,

soccer challenge, water pistol squirting, a disco, nail and hair

dressing, a photo booth and many more. There will also be a

White Elephant Stall equipped with pre-loved toys

and books.

There will be food stalls running on the day and

the students will be able to purchase cakes, cans

of drink and a sausage sizzle ( a separate note for

sausage sizzle orders was distributed last week).

This is a call for donations for raffle prizes and nail polish, bags of

wrapped lollies, hair spray (coloured), balloons or anything that

you feel we could use. For the White Elephant Stall, we are asking

for donations of new or used books, Lego, toys, dress ups, cars,

small games, board games etc (Anything that is suitable for K-6

students). Please forward all donations to any Year 6 wet area.

Thanking you in advance!

STEWART HOUSE - Recently each family was issued with a bag for used clothing. If you wish to contribute, please

return the bag to the front entrance of the hall. If your child does not bring a bag home or you need an extra bag, any

suitable plastic bag from home can be used. The last day for collection is Wednesday November 15, 2017.

Please DO NOT RETURN BAGS AFTER THIS DATE as once bags are collected, we have no storage space for bags

which are returned late.

We thank you for your co-operation.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER

What is Mindfulness meditation?

Mindfulness meditation is one of the most effective ways of teaching

ourselves to pay attention and be more mindful. It is about focusing our

attention on the present moment, being aware of and acknowledging our

present thoughts and actions, without judging them in any way. If our

minds wander during meditation, the mindful response is to recognise

what is happening and gently bring our attention back to the present

moment.

Practising mindfulness during calm and positive moments means these

skills will be better developed and easy to pull out during the not so good

times.

Here at KLPS, with small groups of students, we can use Mindfulness with

young people as a tool to give them a sense of calm, clarity and

contentment. The use of modern meditation helps children to see their

responses and learn to self-regulate their emotions.

I look forward to working with small groups of students to practise this

wonderful strategy to focus and concentrate on the present.

Regards,

Simone Brown (aka Happy Chappy)
