Quality work with Mr Moxon - Education Week 2016 - ‘Shared Stories, Better Learning, Stronger Communities’ Congratulations to all of our special S.T.A.R.

KVPS Mini Olympics Due to the poor weather our recent Mini Olympics had to be postponed. New details below. Date: August 31 Time: All Day Tell Them From Me Surveys for Students and Parents The Tell Them From Me student feedback survey I am delighted that this term, our school, like many other public schools in the state, will participate in a Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me student feedback survey. The survey aims to help improve student learning outcomes and measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW-wide survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices. You may remember that our students also participated in a Tell Them From Me student survey in Term 1 this year. Asking students to complete the survey twice in one year allows us to identify trends in student responses as well as track engagement and motivation across the school year. More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around the world have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help improve how they do things at school. I want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey is conducted online and will typically take less than 30 minutes to complete. It will be administered during school hours between 22 August and 21 October. Participating in the survey is entirely voluntary. A consent form and FAQs for parents/carers about the survey is being sent home with students. If you do not want your child or children to participate, please return the form to school by 19 August. Copies of the form and FAQs are available from the website above. The Partners in Learning parent feedback survey This Term, our school will be participating in the Partners in Learning parent survey, another part of the Tell Them From Me suite of surveys (student, teacher and parent surveys) on student engagement. The survey asks parents and carers questions about different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement. Running this survey will help our school understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at school. These include: communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey is conducted entirely online at home or on public computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted between 22 August and 21 October. Participating in the survey is entirely voluntary, however, your responses are very much appreciated. More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents

Helpful Study Tips Critical thinking - Encourage your child to think critically Ask open-ended questions - as there is no right or wrong answer, your child will respond more creatively. If you are reading a book, stop halfway through and ask them what they think will happen next. When your child tells you things, ask "why?" to get a more thoughtful response. Numeracy Your child will be learning to solve number problems using efficient mental and written methods at school. Help this process at home by discussing the method you used to work out a number problem, so that your child can see how you approached it. Just giving the answers won't help in the long run.
