Principal’s ReportPrincipal’s ReportPrincipal’s ReportPrincipal’s Report
It would be fair to say that we
certainly live in interesting and
challenging times. As a Government
School we are in constant
communication with the Education
Department regarding our rapidly
moving and changing world. In
Ceduna, I am fortunate to be part of a
group of committed leaders of
agencies who have been working together for a number of
years to improve outcomes for the community. In situations
like these the communication structures already in place
greatly assist with our ability to stay up to date with current
information and make informed decisions.
As a Government School we will follow the advice and
directives provided by the Department for Education and SA
Health.
Below are some of the steps we have taken, as a School and
Education Department to minimise the risk of spread of
COVID-19.
• Additional cleaning shifts
• Ensure adequate soap and handwashing procedures
in place
• Minimised or cancelled external visitors to the school
• Closing physical access to the Community Library for
community members and introducing a “Call and
Collect” service
• Cancelling non-essential travel for Staff and Students,
including camps and excursions
• Staff preparing work for Students in the event of the
School being closed
• NAPLAN testing cancelled
As I mentioned above the situation is monitored constantly as
changes are occurring rapidly. If you have questions regarding
the School’s response to COVID-19, please don’t hesitate to
contact the School.
Communication with Parents will occur through email, Sentral,
SMS, Facebook, See-Saw and Communication Books. Please
ensure that your contact details are up to date with the
School.

Teaching & Learning Teaching & Learning Teaching & Learning Teaching & Learning Coordinator’s ReportCoordinator’s ReportCoordinator’s ReportCoordinator’s Report
Reading is one of the most important foundations for success
in School and life.
Starting in Preschool, if a Student reads 20 minutes a day at
home, they will hear 1.8 million words per year. They will
have read for 851 hours by year 6 and on standardized tests,
they will likely score better than 90% of their peers.
Ways you can help at home;
1. Encourage your kids to read! Read often and read a
wide variety of texts.
2. Make time to sit and read with your kids. Re-read old
favourites.
3. Let the kids see you reading.
4. For older kids - share what you've read in the paper, a
novel, online. Ask their opinion. Ask what they've
read.
5. Talk to your kids - often and about vocabulary. The
more words that kids hear, the better they will read,
speak and be able to write.
6. Ask them to talk to you about what they are
reading/learning - using the vocabulary and ideas
orally helps to consolidate understanding and this
then helps with their reading and writing.
7. Non-fiction is important too! Timetables, news
reports, biographies, the sports section, a book on
tigers, recipes - all require reading and decoding skills
8. Find their interests: book versions of their favourite
movie, comics or graphic novels, picture books -
these are written for adolescents as well, short
stories for kids who can't manage (or don't want to
read) a novel.
9. Audio-books for the car. Podcasts for older kids -
both expose kids to vocabulary and content.
10. Leave books and magazines lying around.
11. Have older kids read to younger kids, or listen to
them read. This is especially useful if your older
reader finds it difficult. They can access an easier text
under the guise of helping someone else.
Strategies to use when listening to your child read: Pause,
Prompt, Praise
The, Pause, Prompt, Praise, method or The Three P’s, allows
you to assist your child to read while teaching them how to
self-monitor and correct themselves.
Here’s how.
Firstly, set aside time to listen to your child read. Sit next to
your child so you can read the book as well. Make sure the
book they want to read is appropriate for their reading level. It
is better to start with easier books to build up your child’s
confidence.
Pause
Wait quietly while your child attempts to read the words on
the page. If your child is struggling to work out what a word
is, pause for 5 seconds to let them figure it out for themselves.
Prompt
If they still haven’t worked out the word after 5 seconds,
prompt them with a couple of suggestions on how they could
figure out the word, such as:
• Do they recognise any of the letters in the word and
can they say the sounds that go with them?
• Can they break the word up into chunks, for example,
can-dle?
• Can they try reading again from the start of the
sentence, or continue reading the rest of the
sentence? (This way they will see the context the
word is in and it might help them to understand what
it is.)
• Are there any clues from the pictures? For example, if
your child reads, The mean put a hat on his head, you
could say; I don’t think the word is mean, look at the
picture, who has a hat on his head?
If your child still has troubles with the word after two
prompts, say it for them and encourage them to move on with
their reading. The word is man, let’s keep going.
Praise
Support your child’s reading with positive reinforcement.
Saying things like, your reading is getting so much better, I’m
really proud of you! This boosts your child’s self-confidence
and will help them improve.
Try to make this special reading time with your child
enjoyable. Talk about the book with your child. Discuss the
characters, plot and pictures as this will help boost their
reading comprehension and help them develop a love of
reading.
SACE:
The skill of reading is a crucial component to being successful
in all learning areas of the SACE. Students are required to read
and comprehend a range of complex texts that include subject
specific terminology. These texts can vary from a
mathematical equation or worded question, a scientific
report, an investigative report, a news article, a novel, an
essay or an artist statement.
The success criteria for years 10 to 12, is that all students
will successfully comprehend, interpret, evaluate,
deconstruct and analyse a wide range of written and multi-
model texts that contain subject specific terminology. Staff
in the 10-12 section of the School have been challenging
their teaching practice by embedding formative assessment
and text analysis strategies to improve Students reading and
writing skills. Teachers have been unpacking vocabulary and
teaching students how to make sophisticated word choices,
through their understanding of shades of meaning. In Stage
1 Visual Art, Students have been participating in explicit
instruction literacy blocks, where they have been learning
about formalised visual arts language when analysing
practitioners work. Students in Stage 2 English were
scaffolded through a series of activities to help refine their
choices of words, before experiencing a meal and
completing a food review. Teaching reading skills in the
Senior Years, will assist Students in being successful, in all
components of the SACE, especially the external component
at Stage 2, which is worth 30% of the overall grade.

Speed travelling past the School
Recently the School has received
a number of complaints from
concerned parents and
community members regarding
the speed that some vehicles are
travelling past the School and
the Bus Stops. Please ensure that you are observing
the speed limit of 25 kilometres per hour when
students are present.
No Standing Zone Please do not park on the western side of Bergmann Drive as this is a No Standing Zone. We have had a couple of near misses in the last week
with parents parking in this zone and their children running across the road in front of oncoming traffic. The Council will be doing regular inspections of this area due to non compliance and will fine offenders if this practice continues.
