TA 6 ASSEMBLY The assembly this morning, hosted by TA 6, was simply superb. The students wrote outstanding scripts with their take on what really happened in many well-known fairy tales. Apparently the wolves, pigs, Goldilocks and Little Red Ring Hood were all falsely accused of crimes they didn’t commit and this assembly gave them the opportunity to be exonerated.
The” Cup Song” was a highlight, as well as the commentary from David Attenborough and his good wife.
Mr Sturmer and his students are to be commended on a job well done and a high note to end the semester.
Next assembly Thursday 6 August TA 7. SOCIAL DANCE 30 June For the first time, the Year Three students joined us for the senior dance social evening. Everyone participated to the best of their ability and the behaviour of the students was first class. It was great to see the parents dancing with their children and giving it their best shot. The Marangy line dance, the final dance of the evening, saw the whole community dancing their hearts out to Shakira’s Waka Waka – this time for Africa! A night to remember! Staff Changes It is with regret that I inform you that Ms Olivia Hood, PP1 will be heading off on a big adventure at the end of this semester. Olivia has been offered a teaching position in London and found the chance of a new experience too good to resist. We wish her well and thank her for her contribution. Mrs Dawn Farr will teach in PP1 for the remainder of 2015.
Mrs Sue Gooderson will join our Education Assistant’s team, working in the Kindy on Fridays. Mrs Ridley will resume her position in PP2, after spending the past five weeks in the role of Deputy Principal. Jane has been able to make great progress with two projects - the Waste Wise program and the National Quality Standards in Education. I thank Jane for her help over the latter part of this semester.
Mr Boyes will return next semester rested and ready for the Term Three onslaught.

That Was The Semester That Was I have been at Dalmain since 2002 and I don’t think I have ever experienced such a frenetic time at this school as I have over the past six months. We started the semester preparing for the 25th Anniversay Assembly and Fete both of which were most successful. We then had the ANZAC Service commemorating 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. Following that, we launched into NAPLAN, had the IPS Review, the Tree House restaurant, breakfast at school, the Lightning Carnival and numerous incursions and excursions.
Thank you to staff, students and the community for their continued support with all the school’s programs.
Judging by the number of students who are currently unwell, I would suggest we are all in need of a break! Enjoy your well deserved holiday,
Eileen Buswell Acting Principal

Waste Wise Update
Dalmain Busy Bee Saturday, 8 August 2015
1.00pm - 4.00pm
We are having a Busy Bee to progress our Waste Wise program and in particular to clean up the basketball court
next to the Pre Primary. The worm farm and the compost area are now both located on the basketball court and
we are looking at moving and setting up garden beds, trimming trees and jackhammering holes in the court
service to make way for the planting of fruit trees.
If you can help, even for an hour, please let the school office know. We will also require some extra tools and
equipment including wheelbarrows, shovels, pruning saw, shears, rakes, large brooms and the like.
It’s fun!
Making compost is real science
It’s good to get outside in the fresh air
We are learning how to make
natural fertilizer
We are working in a team and getting to
know each other better
This group of Year 6 students have been working hard to help establish composting at our school. Composting is decreasing our school’s food and garden waste and diverting it from landfill.
The compost bays are located on the old basketball court and will provide our school gardens and Urban Garden with natural fertilizer, improve the soil quality and reduce water consumption.
Why we like being a Compost Crusader?
We are seeking donations of
gumboots for our Compost Crusaders, size 8 or bigger.
Caversham Wildlife Park Excursion - TA 3 & TA 4
Yesterday students from TA3 & TA4 went to Caversham Wildlife Park.
They watched a farm show which included mustering sheep, sheering a sheep, feeding lambs and milking a
cow. They even got to hear the crack of a whip. After the farm show they met a Wombat and his Australian
friends. They also got to feed some kangaroos. A wonderful day had by all.
Thank you to all the parents and teachers who assisted on the day.

Water Wise Report - Term 2
TA4 has been reading the water metre every Monday. We started recording in week one of term two because we wanted to see if we could save water.
- Flynn, Jahlia, Georgia and Robbie
In week one we used 47,800 litres of water. In week two we used 33,000 litres of water. This means that we saved 14,000 litres of water. In week three we used 33,400 litres and in week four we used 26,825 litres of water. We saved 6,589 litres of water. In week six we used 26,850 litres and in week seven we used 26,350
litres of water. That means we saved 500 litres. In week eight we used 24,300 litres of water and in week nine we used 22, 830. We saved 1,470 litres.
- Lewis, Oscar, Bella
This graph shows the water we have used.
In week two we saved 14,000 litres of water. In week five we saved 6,589 litres and in week seven we saved 500 litres. In week eight we saved 2,050. In week nine we saved 1,470 litres of water.
- Jahlia, Flynn, Georgia, Robbie
This graph shows the water we have saved.
Thankyou for saving water each week. We would like you to continue saving water. We are still going to look
at the water metre next term and continue the water wise graph. - Nicole, Abigail, Stella
Some helpful tips:
School Bring a water bottle every day so you don’t waste water at school. When you go to the drink fountain have a quick drink. Use the half flush on the toilet. Report leaking taps.
Home Turn off the hose tightly when you go inside. Make sure the dishwasher is full before using it. Only water each plant for 3 seconds. When you have finished with a small paddling pool empty it into the garden.
