Henty Public School

Term 4 Week 1

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Week 2 of our last term of 2018.

School arrangements for Wednesday

As you are aware, the funeral for Hugh Edwards will be held this Wednesday 24th October 2018 at 11:00 in the St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Henty. Following the mass, the cortege will proceed to the Henty Lawn Cemetery. Relatives and friends are invited to attend.

Due to the large number of students and staff who may be attending Hugh’s funeral, there will be some alternative arrangements for students at school on Wednesday. There will be no office staff attending the office, some classes will be combining and some students may be in a different classroom for some/all of the day. There will be no assembly or scripture this week.

If you have any office enquiries, please wait until Thursday to discuss these with Tania or Peta. Mrs Emma Quinn, Assistant Principal, will be in the admin area all day to discuss anything more urgent and important.

A huge thanks to families who have offered to support the Edwards family by donating a plate of food for the wake. Any contributions are to be delivered to the Henty Community Centre or Henty Public School from 9am on Wednesday.

Tell Them From Me survey

We only have one week before the Tell Them from Me survey closes. Answers provided in this survey help us to make future decisions for the school and the students. Please take some time to let us know how you think we are going. Miss Ross has shared the link a few times through Schoolstream and Facebook.

School values and expectations

This term we will be focusing on the following school expectations:

School leadership

Soon our Year 5 students will prepare speeches for School Captain and Aboriginal Leader positions. A note will come home to explain the process for those students involved in leadership elections. If you are a parent of a Year 5 child or an Aboriginal child in years 4 and 5, please take some time to speak with your child

Reward day

We will be taking the senior students to the movies and junior students to play ten pin bowling. I am super keen to take every student! Together we can do it!

Success at Wagga Eisteddfod

Four students from Henty Public School competed at the Wagga Eisteddfod during the last days of Term 3. Anka Aliento & Isabel Lieschke were highly commended in impromptu speaking, & Isabel was Highly Commended in the prepared speech section. Anka was thrilled to win Third Place with her prepared speech.

Ryan Klemke gave an outstanding presentation of “Thunderbolt” in the set recital & received very complimentary comments for his work. He came second in the scripture reading.

Ava Klemke entered the poetry writing section and was highly commended, but her big, big thrill came when she won 1st place as the Young Performer created for her on the words of the song “Roar” by Katy Perry. The trophy Ava brought home was almost as big as herself.

All four students are to be commended for their efforts to be prepared and their success at the festival.

SPORTS NEWS

T20 Blast Cricket

What a great day last Friday at cricket in Culcairn! Our 6 teams showed terrific participation and sportsmanship throughout the day. We would like to thank our parent helpers; Stephen Zweck, Ben Hooper, Debbie Klemke and Cindy Scott, especially Cindy who is retiring after many years acting as manager of a team, for this event. We will miss her contributions and she assures us that no ball tampering occurred under her supervision. Stephen, Ben & Debbie still have a few years left in them yet!!

Basketball

Basketball commences this Friday and students need to wear sports uniform and bring their drink bottle. The sessions will take place on the school court. This is a Sporting Schools initiative and that means no cost incurred by families.

Swimming

Intensive swimming and swimming for sport will be also taking place in Term 4. More information to follow in next week’s Kalori. Swimming for Sport will take place for the last few weeks of this term and during the beginning term in 2019.

Last Thursday the 18th of October, all children in Years K-6, had the opportunity to be a guest of visiting author, Ian Trevaskis. Mr Trevaskis is a retired teacher and last taught at Talangatta Primary School before pursuing a career in writing. It was great to hear how the writing process of a published author is extremely similar to the student writing processes – brainstorming ideas, drafting notes, rereading, editing, writing, rereading, editing, rereading, editing – finally publishing! (maybe!!!)

It was interesting how Mr Trevaskis explained that although he was the author (written the words) of his stories, he had never actually met any of the illustrators who had drawn the pictures. From the beginning of a first draft to a published book, the process including editing and revising and adding illustrations, sometimes takes a few years! It was also fascinating that for every book sold, Mr Trevaskis only earns about $1.50 from the actual sale price. Our senior students determining that being an author is NOT a well-paid job!!!

All children enjoyed the reading of a collection of books by Mr Trevaskis during the visit.
