Principal’s Note

Remembrance Day

On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front

fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With

their armies retreating and close to collapse, German

leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First

World War. Each year on this day Australians remember

those who died or suffered in all wars and armed

conflicts.

Last Monday our students walked down to

commemorate Remembrance Day and lay a wreath at

the Junee Cenotaph. I would like to commend our

students on the way they conducted themselves while

paying their respects to those who served our country

and continue to do so.

Proud and Deadly Awards

Last week, some of our students would have received

invitations to attend the Proud and Deadly Awards.

These awards are presented in partnership between the

Department of Education and local and Riverina

Regional Aboriginal Education Consultative Group

(AECG) in celebration and recognition of the

achievement and excellence of Aboriginal students from

Kindergarten to Year 12 in Public Education. This year

the award ceremony is being held at the Wagga Wagga

Civic Theatre on Tuesday 26th November at 10:15am.

Students are to attend using private transport and

parents are encouraged to come and watch their child

receive their prestigious awards. If you are unable to

attend and your child requires transport to the event

please contact the school as soon as possible.

Christmas on Broadway

This year we will join other schools and the community

for the annual ‘Christmas on Broadway’ which is being

held on Saturday 23rd November. All students have

been busy practising a set repertoire of songs which will

be performed on the evening. We hope to see as many

students and families as possible to represent our

school and enjoy the festivities on the night. Students

have been asked to wear Christmas clothing. Mrs

Leonard has already sent home a note detailing more

information about the event.

2019 School Planning

Now that we have our anticipated funding for next year

and a prediction of student enrolments, we will be able

to start planning class structures and staffing for 2019.

This is only a planning stage, it is important to point out

that these plans can be subject to change depending on

our actual student enrolment numbers for next year.

Our teachers know our students very well, and much

discussion is had around this aspect of school planning

in staff meetings and at an executive level. Once we have

confirmed these arrangements, we will provide this

information to families as soon as possible to ensure a

smooth transition for all of our students.

Enjoy the remainder of your week!

Kind Regards,

Tracy Delaney

News from the Classroom

Halfway through our final term for 2019! Guguburra is

still a hive of activity. So far this term we have completed

swim school, had a trip to Wagga for Chords and

decorated bags to be used at Christmas on Broadway.

In writing, we are revising the main texts types and

looking more closely at the types of language to use

when we are writing each of these. We are reading a

number of John Fardell books- Manfred the Baddie is a

favourite at the moment. As a follow up to this we will

try to design our own ingenious machines and use some

of his fantastic ‘Wow words’ in our own writing.

In independent reading, many students are developing

their personal favourite chapter book authors and

series. Some of our series recommendations include

Weirdo by Ahn Do, Bad Guy by Aaron Blabey, Captain

Underpants by Dav Pilkey and Andy Griffith’s Treehouse

books. Many students are also enjoying expanding their

knowledge with Non-fiction books. If Santa is listening

Ms. Fixter says that Guguburra students would really

love some good books for Christmas, so they can keep

up their reading over the holidays. A town library card

is also a great idea!

One of the strategies we have been working on in maths

is the split strategy for addition and subtraction. If you

don’t know what this is, Guguburra students will be

happy to explain.

We are showing how well our PBL lessons have been

working as we are staying focused on being Respectful,

Responsible and Successful even when we have some

major renovations happening just outside our class. The

work for our playground redevelopment is moving

ahead and it is hard to tell if the students or staff are

more excited about the mud kitchens.

This fortnights PBL focus is ‘Be Safe’. We currently have

several areas of building work happening in the school

and students are having to be responsible and use those

areas safely. We will review our playground supervision

processes when the areas are completed to allow

students to enjoy our upgraded playground safely and

to ensure appropriate teacher supervision. Being safe is

also a value student’s use in the classroom and outside

the school. With the holidays fast approaching it is

important for students to remember how to be safe

when riding bikes and scooters and swimming in pools

and rivers. We will talk to students about the things they

need to be aware of to keep safe in the holidays.

Are you ready for the Colour

Run 4 Fun?

The School Run4Fun Colour Explosion will be held on

December 13, 2019. The day’s focus is on fun and

fitness with the added benefit of raising funds for our

school’s P&C. The colour powder used in our event has

been sourced direct from India, the home of Holi

Powder. It is made of high quality corn starch and

permitted food colours. It’s non-toxic, biodegradable,

skin safe and environmentally friendly.

Last term, students received a Sponsorship Form with

instructions on how to raise money and order prizes.

Students can obtain donations in cash using the

Sponsorship Form together with online fundraising.

Students who raise as little as $10 or more will receive

an incentive prize for their efforts. But why not aim

higher? You have the option to choose up to five (5)

prizes!

Student Profile Page

Create a Student Profile Page at

www.myprofilepage.com.au which is unique to you.

There are also some great features like recording your

sponsorships (cash donations) and selecting your prize

goal. Well done to those students who have already

done this! You can also register for online fundraising.

It’s the easiest way to help your child raise money and

to reach your fundraising goal sooner. Ask all your

family and friends by sharing it on your

parent/guardians Facebook page.

How to Order Prizes?

To reward your child for their efforts, they will receive

incentive prizes based on the total amount of

sponsorship dollars raised in cash or online. Please

note all donations need to be finalized TODAY

FRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER.

After TODAY November 22, you have two options to

place your prize order:

1. Login or create a Student Profile Page at

www.myprofilepage.com.au. Once the fundraiser has

finished, click the ‘ORDER MY PRIZE’ button and then

confirm your total amount raised and order your

prize/s, OR

2. Complete the back page of the Sponsorship Form

you received in term 3 and return to the school.

Student prizes will be delivered before the end of the

school year.

Thank you in advance for your participation, and get

ready for a BLAST OF COLOUR! Happy fundraising!
