PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

School Council

At last night’s School Council meeting we continued our new practice

of increasing student voice and leadership by involving students at

School Council. We welcomed Oscar H and Riley H

to present the Students’ Report. The boys shared

the role of KidsMatter Student Action Team, future

plans and ideas how we can improve our school.

The boys spoke with great confidence and clarity

and responded to questions from the School

Councillors.

The following policies were approved

Yard Duty and Supervision

Home Learning

Health Care Needs

Communication Procedure and Schedule

Fundraising

Incursions

Next week there will be a major upload of policies to our school

website.

It was reported that the school has successfully attained re-

registration with all Child Safe and other compliance items

achieved

School Councillors started generating ideas to improve the learning

and play environment for our students. All parents/carers will be

surveyed for their ideas soon.

Staffing

As we head towards the end of term, we have some staffing changes

we’d like to share with you. Kate Eldred, Tanith Ryan and Jessica Stone

will be commencing maternity leave. We welcome the following

teachers to the following classes:

Sarah Trezise will be teaching Prep E

Cat Gray will be teaching 3/4R with Ms Roberts

Jacqui Castillo will be increasing her time fraction to work in 1/2B

once a week with Mrs Box.

We hope you make them feel welcome.

We wish Mrs Jamieson and Mrs Woods a happy early holiday as they

start their mid winter break early.

Reporting

Next Thursday 27th June, the students’ school reports will be made live to parents/carers and can be

accessed through the Compass website or the Compass app.

Learning Tasks will be attached to the report and are one of many data sources used to inform a

student’s achievement against the Victorian Curriculum. Learning Task achievement ratings don’t

always correlate directly to the progression points as the rating is based on that task alone.

Parent Student Teacher Interviews will take place in Week 2 of Term 3 for most classes. Details and

booking code will be communicated next week. Brett Smith

Vacation use of School Grounds

Whilst we encourage the use of the school grounds out of

hours by families, please understand and respect that

OSHClub operates on weekdays so please observe the

following:

No off lead dogs

Non OSHClub children to keep right away from OSHClub activities

Children use the school grounds with parental supervision.

Respect our school and its facilities.

Kiss and Go

Earlier this term I wrote about our endeavours to have the front of school’ parking designated as a ‘kiss

and drop off’ zone. This would increase traffic flow and allow more students quicker access to the

school….especially in the wet weather.

We are still hoping the kiss and drop off will eventuate but in the meantime we ask that it be used as such

with longer term parking at the Recreation Reserve.

When it happens, we’ll let you know.

Easter Fair Produce We are asking for donations of small jars for the jam making team (Donna). Please remove all labels before

leaving your jars in the foyer. Jars should be no bigger than 300ml. Thanks.

ART NEWS

Our Artist of the Week is Ruby McCartney in grade 5 with her tempera painting. Ruby has used

complementary colours and a mixture of symmetry and asymmetry in her design. The goat appears as the

focal point in the piece with a decorative surround.

Lightning Premiership

Last Friday, 58 Inverloch/Kongwak students travelled to Mary Mackillop College in Leongatha to compete

in the Woorayl District Lightning Premiership. We entered a football, soccer, mixed netball and two girls’

netball teams. Luckily the weather held off and we were able to play in light winds and sunshine. Overall

the day was a success, we came back to school with no shields but some very muddy legs. A special

thankyou to David Newman, Alan Starkey, Katie Winn, Olivia Peterson and Sammy Jacobson for coaching

our teams on the day, Kerri-Ann Gafa and Ella O’Flynn for umpiring and Rob Van Rooy for attending and

supervising. Thankyou also to the parents, grandparents and friends for umpiring, scoring and supporting

our teams.
