Principal’s Report

The days are rapidly going by and there are a number of great events to be

enjoyed before the end of term. As many of our wonderful volunteers will be

leaving us because their children are going onto high school, I want to take

this opportunity to thank one small group, The School Council. Our school

council has been chaired by Davina Park for the past two years and as Davina’s

daughter will be moving onto high school, the position of chair is now open. If

you are keen to volunteer in this capacity, please email me

[email protected] The committee is comprised of parents, teachers

and community members and meets each month. The responsibilities of

school council include but are not exclusive to: Contributing to the develop-

ment of the school strategic plan (the document that tells people what the

school wants to achieve in the future and how it plans to get there); and

developing, monitoring, reviewing and updating policies (guiding principles

designed to influence decisions, actions that the school makes.

Parent Learning at MJPS

Mathematics Thank you to all the parents who attended Mr Rosenthal’s mathematics class this term. It was a great opportunity for the students to display their excellent problem solving skills. They also enjoyed challenging their parents with some really tricky questions. Thank you to Mr Rosenthal for organising the event.

Visible Learning Workshop Thank you to the parents who attended the Visible Learning workshop this week. It was great to see you there and share some of the exciting things that we have been doing in our school. We hope you found it useful and were able to develop a better understanding of our whole school approach to Visible Learning. For those parents who were unable to attend, we will provide links for some of the resources we used in the newsletter over the next few weeks. A take home booklet was handed out at the workshop and spare copies can be found in the school office if you would like one. We will continue to host parent workshops around Visible Learning in the future and it would be great to see more of our parents attending when they can. As discussed at the workshop, the research indicates that parent involvement has a significant impact on student learning. A focus for our school is to continue strengthening our links between home and school and your support is highly valued. How the Brain works.

A note for Junior Band- Spring Soiree CHANGED to 30th November, 3:30pm

Please keep practising your new songs for the Spring Soiree to be held on Wednesday November 30th at 3:30pm. I would

like to give you some new songs to work on but all junior band members must practise The Trolls and Spooks before we can

start new material.

Due to a concert clash we have managed to change the end of year Spring Soiree to Wednesday November 30th at 3:30pm in the school Hall. Both bands will play along with some smaller groups and we will farewell the year 6 band members. Please put the date in your diary.

Happy practising and see you all next Wednesday,

Woody.

. Last day of school banking is Tuesday 6th Dec

If your child has already earned 6 tokens or more and make further deposits every week until our last school banking day, they should write a note to the School banking team advising them of their choice of reward/s . The rewards still available are Out-back Pat bag tag, Wriggly Glow worm, Outer space savers money box and ET DVD.

The last day to order rewards to guarantee they will arrive before the end of term would be Tuesday 29th November, but if your child knows that they will have 10 tokens after depositing on December 6th, a pre-order could be placed on 29th November, to give students a better chance of receiving the reward before the end of term. Otherwise, if they order a reward on December 6th, then the reward would probably arrive in Term 1 next year 2017.



.

Lost Property A reminder to please check your children's lost property before end of term. There are many items that have been found around the school. The labelled items will be in a basket outside the office and the unnamed items will be out-side the language rooms.

If clothing have not been collected by the end of term then all items will be donated to the se-cond hand store.

Term 4 Statement of Account

The term 4 statement of account is now overdue.

We have just posted outstanding accounts. We

would appreciate full payment by 25th November. If

you are having difficulty paying this account please

contact the school office to organise a meeting with

the Principal to discuss.

We encourage parents/carers to use our online

payment portal, which can be located on our

school website under the

‘Make a Payment’ tab. As of 2017 we will be only

accepting cash or cheque over the counter. All

credit card payments will have to be made

through our online payment system. If you have

any problems using POP please contact the office

staff for assistance.
