Yalunga

Students of Casino West Public School have been learning aspects of traditional Aboriginal culture through The ‘Yalunga’ games program. The Yalunga games program gives students the opportunity to experience Aboriginal games that are suitable for all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Traditional Aboriginal games are inclusive games and are not competitive. For example, if a player gets ‘out’ in some games they can immediately rejoin the game once leaving the field. This boosts confidence with students and supports the development of their individual skills as well as team building skills which is essential for the overall development of student’s social skills and general well being. Aboriginal games also help to promote reconciliation by bringing together both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people within the community. Mr Shannon Beaumont.

Congratulations!

We have another smokey day here at Casino West. The fires burning to our west must be very big. We would like to thank all the RFS personnel for the great work they are doing in keeping our communities safe. We can only imagine how hard conditions are.Our admin block is nearing completion and with the refit completed we hope to be back in by the start of next term. The building has a lovely fresh look and the staff will be better situated in the new rooms.Our value this week is honour. The kids will be learning about HONOUR and what it means to act honourably in life. This will include things such as being truthful, owning your actions, doing the right thing and making good choices.Our PBL lesson is TRANSITIONS. We will be working on the ways we move as classes, how we move from assemblies, after lunch and before and after school. The safe rule will be very important here.The teachers were all inspired by a staff meeting item run by Mrs Dee Taylor last Tuesday. The lesson was on the use of technology, in particular Scratch and Scratch Jnr. What a great digital programming technology. We couldn’t get the teachers to stop. Hopefully it will be in classrooms soon. This program teaches kids programming skills. Exactly the thing we will need to have in future work environments.I would also recommend Mrs Campbell’s fantastic videos that you will find on the school Facebook site. So far Chloe and Dylan have made videos explaining what they are learning in maths and reading. There have been lots of views and Mrs Campbell is planning many more of these videos.If you have any ideas of videos we can make to show how the kids do things nowadays, please let me know.That is all for this week everyone. Hope to see you around the school.Mr Michael Taylor, Principal.
