Week 8

From the

Principal I would like to begin

by thanking our par-

ents, staff and stu-

dents for their par-

ticipation in our school’s program

review. The week passed seam-

lessly thanks to Miss Yard’s or-

ganisational skills which were

greatly appreciated by the Pro-

gram review Team and all others

who were involved in the process.

Thank you Miss Yard.

For many years our school has

implemented the Reading Recov-

ery program. This program is ac-

knowledged worldwide as an ef-

fective strategy to improve the

reading skills of Year 1 students.

Teachers who implement the pro-

gram gain their qualifications

through intensive training and

development over a two year pe-

riod. At the end of the two years

teachers become registered Read-

ing Recovery teachers. This

qualification is recognised world-

wide. Yesterday I had the pleas-

ure of attending the awards cere-

mony for Reading Recovery

Teachers. I would like to con-

gratulate Mrs McClintock on the

completion of her first year of

training and Mrs Garnon on the

completion of her training and

registration as a Reading Recov-

ery teacher.

We are also celebrating wins in

the PSSA competition with two

champion teams bringing home

trophies. CONGRATULATIONS

to Miss Woolley and our

Leadership Election

Leadership speeches and voting

will take place in the hall during

whole school assembly tomor-

row. All leadership candidates

have been campaigning over the

last few weeks and are all anx-

ious to present their speeches.

Parents and family of all candi-

dates are most welcome to attend.

Assembly will commence at ap-

proximately 9.45am in the hall.

Mrs Rowen and Ms Hardie

Miss Fleming and Ms Ross.

Volleyball team and Miss Flem-

ing and our Senior Boys softball

team. I was there to watch both

finals. The competition was tough

but all our students played with

conviction and won the day. I

walked away a very proud Princi-

pal not only because of the wins

but because of the sportsmanship

and teamwork displayed by our

students and the quiet and strong

reassurance of their coaches. Well

done!

We are rapidly approaching the

end of the year and we have a

number of special events coming

up including our Thank You
