FROM THE DEPUTY’S DESK

Class 3W really enjoyed reading the story "Monster for Hire" by Trevor Wilson. This was their inspiration to create descriptive paragraphs about the monster being trapped in the witchery. They wrote their paragraphs in the first person and worked really hard to incorporate time connectives, thoughts and feelings, descriptive noun groups and red flag words. The class learnt how to draw potion bottles using watercolour pencils.

PARLIAMENT AND CIVICS EDUCATION

REBATE

Year 6 students from our school have recently undertaken an education tour of the national capital. As part of their study, students participated in many

educational programs with a focus on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding under the Parliament and Civics Education rebate program towards those costs.

YEAR 6 OVERNIGHT EXCURSION TO

CANBERRA

Year 6 students had many wonderful learning opportunities last week on our three-day excursion. Students engaged in activities such as learning the voting process at the Electoral Education Centre, participating in role plays for the passing of a bill at Parliament House and they explored an interactive display of CSIRO's world leading research at the CSIRO Discovery Centre.

While our students benefited from actively participating in many sessions of learning, it was the personal benefits for each student that were immeasurable. Teachers observed new relationships being made across the grade and existing relationships deepen. The school values of respect and responsibility were seen day and night. Resilience was noticed in many cases and most clearly seen when students used their initiative to seek support, face their uncertainties and with teacher guidance, demonstrate the perseverance required. It’s in these moments we realise how much our students have matured and their camp experience was very much part of it.

Thank you to each of our families for partnering with us in the preparation for, and during the excursion. The behaviour of our students was commendable. Comments were made by staff at a number of venues as well as members of the public at Parliament House when our students wore their school uniform with pride. Thank you, parents and carers, for your support in meeting our expectations.

Wonderful memories were created for our students and I would like to sincerely thank each of our Year 6 teachers and Mr Neufeld for their support and strong commitment to ensuring every student had a wonderful experience.

Students in the instrumental program at Drummoyne PS have continued to make excellent progress in their lessons and rehearsals throughout this term.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support of the program. All of our students are sounding fantastic and really made our concert such a success! We hope you stay safe and healthy over the holidays and I look forward to a successful Term 3. Kevin Christmas Program manager

WHAT NOT TO BRING: Lollies, chewing gum, chips, and snacks. Food items brought onto the centre are collected and held in trust – to be returned just prior to departure. Please no iPads, mobile phones or valuables. Parental support with this is most appreciated.

BEHAVIOUR: Consequences of inappropriate behavior by students at camp may include time off the camp playground or withdrawal of privileges. Parents will be contacted to pick up their child if poor behaviour persists.

SPENDING MONEY: You may wish to provide your child with some spending money so they can buy some camp souvenirs like a drink bottle. We suggest that spending money is limited to $20 and provided in a sealed envelope with your child’s name on it.

RETURN: We will return by the end of the school day on Friday, 23 July 2021. The office will provide an update via the Skoolbag app when the bus leaves camp. If a delay is experienced on the way, another update will be provided.
