Issue 1 Term 1 Week 2 2 February 2017

Good afternoon Parents, Carers and Friends of Greenwich Public School.

Welcome to Term 1 2017. Welcome especially to our new students and their families who are joining us for the

school year. I am delighted with the way the school has settled so far and look forward to a busy year of learning.

2017 kindergarten have started today with all four classes beginning their educational journey with smiles and

enthusiasm. As I moved through the classrooms it is wonderful to see all students, kindergarten to year 6 looking

forward to a year of exciting opportunities.

Classes, Staffing and Buildings for 2016

Our numbers across the school are currently beginning the year at 491 students. There are 7 classes on the K/1

campus and 13 classes on the 2-6 campus.

As our students returned this year, as usual, they were placed in temporary or holding classes. Students have

rotated throughout the teaching staff who have been allocated to their stage. During this time, all children have

been actively involved, as in past years, in lessons around road safety, friendships and anti-bullying as well as

returning to the study of English, Maths, Science, PD/H/PE, Mandarin and Creative Arts.

Permanent classes have been formed today. They are as follows.

I believe that we are privileged to have such a highly skilled group of teachers and I am confident in the ability of

our teachers and they are well equipped to differentiate the curriculum and to cater for our students needs.

The process of forming classes is a complex process and teachers have considered many aspects such as

friendships, behavioural concerns, specific needs and teacher expertise when forming our classes. Thank you to

all the staff for the time that this has taken. Thank you for your understanding as we finalised the classes.

Welcome to Greenwich Public School evening

We are planning to hold a welcome to Greenwich Public School evening for all families K-6 on Monday the 13

February in the hall on the Kingslangley Road Campus. This will be an opportunity to come and meet the teaching

staff for 2017 and get an overview of the school directions for the year and hear from each of the stage Assistant

Principals. Parent/teacher interviews will be scheduled for later in the term, Week 6, where you will have a better

opportunity to discuss your child’s individual needs in a one-on-one session with their teacher.

The evening is planned to begin at 6pm and should conclude around 7:30pm. I look forward to seeing you there.

Fencing at Kingslangley Road

We have had temporary fencing erected on the Kingslangley Road campus as remediation work is being

undertaken by the Department of Education in the gully area to make the site safe. This work should be occurring

over the next week or two. In the meantime all students are asked not to enter this area at any time. It’s also a

good time to remind everyone the school is classified as Inclosed Lands. Access to our school should only occur

during school time and for the purpose of conducting business with the school. A reminder, that we have no

capacity to offer parking or drop off inside the school grounds. Access at any other time is only with the

permission of the principal.

Welcome Back

I would like to welcome back to our school Ms Kate Hallam and Ms Shauna McStraw who have both returned

following leave during 2016. Welcome back ladies we are delighted that you have returned to Greenwich Public

School.

Year 4 students

Students in year 4 have been working through various

programs with different teachers. Neo and Lewis

successfully finished making a fitness boardgame and were

able to play it upon completion.



STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths

2017 has begun with a STEM challenge in Science. Students were asked to design and make a

basketball tower. The measure of success was whether it could hold a basketball for 20 seconds.

Constraints included time and building materials which were just newspaper and sticky tape. An

extension challenge was to see who could build the tallest tower to support the ball. There was lots

of planning, designing, creating, testing and improving involved. Cooperative group work and a bit of

fun was essential. Well done!
