Newsletter Term 4 Week 6
Dear Parents and Carers, Last Friday we saw some weird and wonderful hair colours and styles at Booral, some were fit to put your eye out! All in a good cause - to fund the Thank You Morning Tea. We rely on the help and support of parents for many things at Booral - transporting students to different activities, working to improve the playground, organising special events, helping in the classrooms - so every year we have a morning tea to say thank you. If you have helped out this year, be sure to fill out the RSVP to let us know you’ll be coming. Thanks to Miss Davies and the SRC for organising both the fund raising and the morning tea. Congratulations to Georgia W, Ben C and Tess who have been to Tuncurry this week to compete in the Taree District Public Speaking Competition. Public speaking is a valuable skill to develop and my admiration goes out to these students who speak confidently to a large audience at such a young age. The students had to present their prepared speeches and also an impromptu speech, that they were only given a few minutes to prepare. Tess received one of only 2 highly commended awards. Mitchell will be competing in the Year 6 competition on Friday. We are very proud of you all! This Friday is Treat Day for all the students who have been following school rules and behaving appropriately this term. If your child has received an orange note or two or more white notes this term, they will not be eligible to participate in the treat activity. However, it is a school day and all children are required to be at school, unless they are sick. Appropriate work will be provided for children not participating. S. Parsonage Relieving Principal

P & C Dates to Remember 7th November P & C Meeting 5.30pm 5th December P & C AGM 5.30pm A SNAPSHOT FROM DUNGOG HIGH - NO. 3 Hello Year 6, Dungog High School has adopted the POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR for LEARNING reward and behaviour system, otherwise known as PBL. You will hear and see these three key terms: RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and PERSONAL BEST quite a lot whilst moving around the school and during lessons. Students who demonstrate these core values will be rewarded for their efforts and will receive a merit certificate. Each subject area has a coloured merit e.g. English merits are pink and Maths merits are blue. Students collect these merits and when they have five different coloured merits they will receive a Year Advisor’s Award which provides benefits such as first choice in Sport. Three Year Advisor’s Awards will result in a Deputy’s Award and two Deputy’s Awards will result in a Principal’s Award. There is a useful behaviour matrix on page 11 of your handbook to give you an idea of what our three core values actually look like in practice. At Dungog High in the mornings you will hear the term ‘DEAR’. But what does this mean? It stands for ‘Drop Everything and Read’. You will be allocated a DEAR room and this is where you will go each morning to get your name marked off, listen to the daily notices, hand in any absentee notes and ‘Drop everything and read!’. You can borrow a book from the library, read the English novel you are studying, or even bring a book from home to read. It’s a great time for some quiet reading before your lessons begin and an opportunity to improve your literacy skills. Remember ‘kids who read succeed!’ Don’t be alarmed when you arrive at DEAR and see older students sitting in the room reading. We have a vertical roll system at Dungog High which means there are students from 7 -12 in the same DEAR group. Happy reading! Mrs van de Scheur J
