I hope that everyone enjoyed the long break for the Queen’s Birthday. It is strange to consider how quickly this year has gone. This week saw a visit from Mr MaƩ Hobbs (Director, EducaƟonal Leadership for the Northern Tablelands) to ACS. Mr Hobbs was at the school for most of the day and spent much of that Ɵme in classrooms meeƟng with teachers and students around the fantasƟc opportuniƟes and learning happening at our school. It was wonderful to see a Director have the quality Ɵme required in our school to begin to understand our context and the high quality programs that we are building at Ashford CS. I have spent the last week at the Secondary Principal’s Annual Conference. This professional learning opportunity was a thorough and extensive look at ways that schools can learn from the world’s best educaƟon systems and work smarter to engage students and communiƟes to achieve greater results from our system. Some common themes across the some 500 high school and central schools were: Stang (aƩracƟng casual staand retaining high quality teachers in rural areas) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, MathemaƟcs: how do we integrate more into our schools?) Lack of student engagement at school (apathy, see no point, no moƟvaƟon) Curriculum (concerns around the breadth of what is required to be covered may result in a narrow/shallow look at vital areas). All of these common themes pertain to our school and I look forward to conƟnuing to build in soluƟons for ACS sta, students and families. Parent MeeƟngs Please remember that all teachers at ACS are available throughout the week to meet with you in person or via the phone to discuss the parƟcular strategies developed to improve the educaƟon of your child. Do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any concerns and use the classroom teacher most applicable to your child as the rst port of call. Monday aŌernoon saw the parents from the Yr 3/4 cohort meet in the library to discuss the issues perƟnent to their children. The forum provided an opportunity for parents to voice their concerns and for stato relay with clarity, some of the strategies that have been implemented. An outcome of this discussion was that parents are going to aƩempt to come into classrooms more frequently and be a strong part of student learning at our school. A secondary outcome was a commitment from myself to review playground rosters, acƟviƟes and processes to ensure that student voice is considered and that playground incidents are followed through. Thank you to all parents that aƩended the meeƟng.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the long break for the Queen’s Birthday. It is strange to consider how quickly this 

year has gone. This week saw a visit from Mr Ma  Hobbs (Director, Educa onal Leadership for the Northern 

Tablelands) to ACS. Mr Hobbs was at the school for most of the day and spent much of that  me in classrooms 

mee ng with teachers and students around the fantas c opportuni es and learning happening at our school. It 

was wonderful to see a Director have the quality  me required in our school to begin to understand our context 

and the high quality programs that we are building at Ashford CS.  

I have spent the last week at the Secondary Principal’s Annual Conference. This professional learning opportunity 

was a thorough and extensive look at ways that schools can learn from the world’s best educa on systems and 

work smarter to engage students and communi es to achieve greater results from our system. Some common 

themes across the some 500 high school and central schools were:  

Staffing (a rac ng casual staff and retaining high quality teachers in rural areas) 

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathema cs: how do we integrate more into our schools?)  

Lack of student engagement at school (apathy, see no point, no mo va on) 

Curriculum (concerns around the breadth of what is required to be covered may result in a narrow/shallow 

look at vital areas).  

All of these common themes pertain to our school and I look forward to con nuing to build in solu ons for ACS 

staff, students and families.  

Parent Mee ngs

Please remember that all teachers at ACS are available throughout the week to meet with you in person or via the 

phone to discuss the par cular strategies developed to improve the educa on of your child. Do not hesitate to

Lesson Observa ons

Teachers have been partaking in cri cal reflec on and professional development of their prac ce by undertaking 

lesson observa ons. The process is aligned to current research and helps to strengthen teacher capacity and the 

quality of lesson delivery in every classroom. Please be aware that this process works best when students behave 

as if the second staff member is not in the room. Teachers observe a peer and then provide feedback on the 

lesson. The process is then reversed to allow for the second teacher to complete a lesson observa on and provide 

feedback.  

A endance

The school is currently recording a endance data that is well below state average. This is unacceptable and the 

school and parents must work together to resolve this ongoing issue. Please complete the following slip and 

return to the office ASAP for establishing further ways that we can con nue to work together. 

In the first eight weeks of Term two, 25% of students (approximately 1 in every four) have a ended school at a 

rate below 85%. This is a concerning amount of students.  

Recent research from the ‘Every Day Counts’ report (commissioned by the University of Western Australia) very 

clearly highlights the close rela onship between a endance and academic progress. Barring legi mate illness 

which the school is sympathe c to, all students should aim to a end school as close to 100% as possible.  

It is cri cal that students at Ashford CS demonstrate strong a endance. Absences for reasons such as birthdays, 

rest days, catching up with family member days, appointments that could be made out of school hours, holidays 

in term  me etc should be avoided.   

As always, in cases of absence, we encourage parents to call as soon as possible to alert the school. All absences 

require an explana on.   

If you have any issues with the a endance of your child please contact the school for support.  

Missing School = Missing Out

Ashford Central School Top A enders Congratula ons to the following students for having above the state average of 92% a endance.

Traffic Awareness 

It has come to the a en on of the school community that in 

the a ernoon, there is student and traffic conges on near the 

corner of Duff and Albury Streets and that BOTH students and 

the community need to be mindful of each other is this area. 

Farewell Leah

Leah began employment at Ashford Central School in 

2006 as a School Learning Support Officer and later, a 

School Administra on Officer.   

In the 12 years at our School, Leah was an asset to 

our staffing team and a valued friend. 

The staff and students of Ashford Central School 

would like to wish Mrs Sharpe all the best for her 

future endeavours, she will be sadly missed!

SECONDARY AGRICULTURE  As part of the week 7 Ag lesson, the 9‐10 students put up shaded area for the pre‐school garden.  Miss Georgie had requested some help with this as they were struggling to keep their vegetables alive during the summer months due to the heat in the ho er periods.  The students were able to construct a simple hoop house using steel posts and some spare shade cloth.  They were also able to help move the raised beds around, allowing ease of access and doubling the amount of growing area for the pre‐school students.  Although a simple project which the students were able to complete in just over an hour, it will make a big difference for the pre‐school garden area crea ng a much larger growing space.  The shade cloth only covered about 2/3 of the shade house, but the plan is to put some wire across the remaining area and to fill that with ver cally growing plants.  A big thanks to the 9‐10 Ag class for their efforts on the day.  A great example of community working together. 

 

Kindergarten and the senior art class would greatly appreciate donations of newspapers.

Please bring any unwanted newspapers to the front office.

Thank you!

Stolen Year 10 History students travelled to Tamworth on the 14 Jun 2018 to watch

a performance ‘STOLEN’ at the Capitol Theatre. Year 10 History students have been studying The Modern World and Australia—Changing Rights and Freedom for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. 

The nature of  this culturally enriching field trip was to significantly benefit our students in the form of aboriginal content knowledge, future cultural  consump on, tolerance, historical empathy and cri cal thinking. 

The Na onal theatre of Parrama a presented ‘Stolen ‘.   

‘Stolen’ interweaves the stories of five children taken from their families – Ruby, Jimmy, Shirley, Sandy and Ann. Their stories were from different  mes and different places, but the five characters interact with each other as if their experiences were shared. Theirs were the stories of many. Endearing characters and plenty of humour, Stolen was ul mately a play about love and loss, resilience and hope. The performance recognised that more Indigenous children are being removed today than at any other  me in Australian history, contemporary retelling was a though ul and moving reminder of our past and our present that will resonate for a long  me. The students enjoyed the day out and found the performance very interes ng. 

Ashford Local Aboriginal Land Council Resource Information Session.

Mrs McIntyre’s year 9/10 art students a ended an informa on session with Sonya Lange from the Inverell Shire Council Library on the 24th May 2018. Her visit to Ashford Local Aboriginal Land Council was to show our teachers, students/community members what resources are available, and assist people to develop research skills, how to ask ques ons, what to look for; and also to show everyone how to get on to and sign up for access to a ra  of online resources. 

Sonya bought some rare and unpublished materials form the ISC Aboriginal Reference collec on, including some local resources that you will not find on the shelves and that the students found fascina ng.

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to tell you about a great ongoing event that is happening in Ashford every Friday night starting at 6pm. Youth Group is held at the Memorial Hall for the secondary age students. Each week between 30 - 40 kids attend and have a fantastic time. Supper is provided by a small group of volunteers. As you could imagine, it takes quite an

amount of food to feed 30 – 40 teenagers. If anyone could spare a bottle of cordial, a plate of food or a small donation, it would be greatly appreciated.

For more information contact Leza Luckett - 67255546
