Singling out one person to be the recipient of

BACK TO SCHOOL
DAY
FOR
BRIDGET MERRETT
A collaborative initiative between The South
Australian Primary Principal’s Association and the
Department for Education is the opportunity for
staff in Central Office to spend a day in a school
and to gain operational insights into a normal
school day. All staff spent time with Bridget
Merrett, Senior Communications Adviser
(internal) Department for Education to exchange
ideas around communications and future
possibilities. Bridget is now a Fulham Gardens
Primary School Ambassador
STUDENT SUMMARY REPORTS Staff has spent a considerable amount of time
working on end of year summary reports, Outlining
student progress and achievement. These will be
distributed in week 9 along with class placement
letters.
NATIONAL SCHOOL
CHAPLAINCY PROGRAM
UPDATE All schools across Australia recently submitted
applications to continue or begin their
involvement with the National School Chaplaincy
Program from 2020 to 2022. Unfortunately
Fulham Gardens Primary School was
unsuccessful. This sadly means Sally
Henderson’s placement in our school which is
tied to the funding will cease at the end of 2019.
Student wellbeing and that of our community
members will continue to be a priority and we
will continue to seek ways of ensuring this
continues so students, staff and parents and
supported. We will formally farewell Sally at the
end of the year.
NEW RECEPTION CHILDREN
VISIT
What a special
moment for our
new 2020
reception
children. Their
transition into
school involves
3 extended
visits so as to
orientate and
familiarise
themselves
with the class,
the school and
other students.
On this visit,
they were able
to enjoy a
special moment
in the resource
centre and
spend some
time with
reading and
books with Mr
Del Bono.
LOST PROPERTY.PLEASE LOOK
The amount of lost property grows daily and we
have a mini tub filled with an assortment of
jumpers, tops, containers and drink bottles.
Please pop in and have a look and claim what
could be that missing item.
2020 CLASS PLACEMENT The class placement process is never an easy
process. We aim to ensure placements factor in
student learning, social and emotional needs and
parent requests. I am hoping that all staff will have
been appointed by the time classes are finalised.
TARANATHA ART EXHIBITION
Flavia: Today we went to the art gallery to visit
the Tarnanthi exhibition which showcases
Aboriginal Artwork from around Australia. I learnt
about different styles of Aboriginal Art work
including print making, realism, dot painting and
totems. I enjoyed looking at the artwork and
finding stories behind it.
Manha: It was interesting learning about how modern
Aboriginal Artists have changed techniques to make new colours and learning how each piece of art has its own story. After looking through the art gallery we got to participate in our own printmaking workshop to
make our own shapes. That was really fun.
Hayley: There was one artwork about milk fish that was my favourite. There were painted sticks with a
projector showing milk fish. If you lay down on the
floor the milk fish swam around you. It was very cool. I enjoyed learning new things about artists and trying
new experiences in artwork.
