Speaking of films, the Film By The Eucalypts film day and night is this Wednesday at the Hub in Springwood. Congratulations to SPS budding film makers who were successful in being selected to have their films screened! We also welcome our Class of 2020 Kindergarten students this Thursday at the first Orientation session for kindergarten students. Congratulations to all our students who represented our school at the annual Summer Games last Friday. I am informed by our teachers that the students played with a high level of enthusiasm and sportsmanship. Well done to you all. Remind your kids everyday how special they are and how much you love them! Hug the ones you love and hold on for an extra second or two, it makes a world of difference.

VOLUNTEER ETHICS TEACHERS REQUIRED Springwood Public School is currently in need of more ETHICS teachers to meet the demand for ethics classes. Ethics classes are provided each week (on Thursdays) if parents wish as an alternative to Special Religious Education (SRE) or Scripture classes. We rely on parents, grandparents and community-minded people to become ethics teachers. Teaching ethics classes is a rewarding way to be involved in your local community, learn new things and help children develop really important skills for life. Ethics classes support children to develop the skills they need to voice their opinions, consider the ideas of others and to make decisions based on evidence and reasoning rather than habit or peer pressure. The curriculum is fully approved by the Department of Education and has been professionally developed. Topics are age-specific and include telling the truth, being kind, forgiving, fairness and empathy, disagreeing respectively, working out what is true, listening to others and taking turns to speak. Comprehensive training and support is provided. Previous teaching experience is not required. If you or someone you know are interested and to find out more visit PrimaryEthics.com.au or phone the SPS Ethics Coordinator Susan on 0435 057 225.
