Message from the Principal
Our thoughts are with the Minnamurra and Kiama community after
the tragic passing of a student over the long weekend. If you or a
loved one were affected by this news I encourage you to seek
support through the many networks available. These include Lifeline
(131114), Headspace, and Kids Helpline (1800551800).
Reports
Twice a year, schools are required to report on student
achievement against syllabus standards. Each year, we have parents
question grading for students as this has changed since many of us
went to school.
The A to E grade scale summarises the standard (or quality) of
achievement associated with each grade. The scale describes: • the
depth of knowledge and understanding and • the range of skills that
students working at that standard typically show.
Grades are given for individual achievement. Students will get
the grade that best matches the standard of their achievement.
Teachers are not limited to set numbers of each grade within their
class or school. Grades are one aspect of school reporting to
parents. A ‘C’ grade indicates that the student has a sound
knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content. This is
where we expect students to be achieving.
If you have any questions regarding assessment and reporting,
please make an appointment with the office to see the classroom
teacher.
Communication with teachers
Thank you to all the parents that treat teachers with respect
and dignity. We always have your child/children’s best interest at
heart. We encourage all parents to make appointments through the
office for meetings regarding any concerns you may have. It has
been great to see how many parents have respected the new
guidelines established with communication processes with see-saw.
On behalf of the teachers, thank you!!!!
Safety of students
Please make sure that your child is aware of their personal
safety while out in the community. When out and about, you need to
always take care and be aware of strangers. With the help of your
friends, you can together be stranger danger safe.

Why not create a 'Buddy System'? Just like the two of us, we
help each other whenever
we are out. We alert each other to danger, and we make sure we
always stay together -
no walking off alone or talking to strangers!
Sport news
Congratulations to Indyana on her selection in the NSW Soccer
team that will compete in Canberra later this year. This is a huge
effort and we are so proud of her achievement. There are raffle
tickets for sale in the office for $5 to help fund the cost of this
experience.
Mr Janssens is taking credit for another victory for our school
soccer team. The boys beat Shell Harbour (7-0) and will now play
the winner of Kiama and Nowra to progress to the next level.
The girls also won their last game 9-0 against Bowral. Their
next match will be against the winner of Minnamurra and
Jamberoo.
We wish both teams the best of luck.
Playground update
We have moved another step forward with the playground program!
We have a concept map we can share with the community. The
playground committee have looked and will provide feedback to the
designers. If you have any additional feedback, please email to
[email protected]
All student members of the playground committee will receive
their badges during the Week 10 whole school assembly.

Earn and Learn Earn and Learn is back at all Woolworth stores.
For every $10 you spend in a Woolworths store you will get an Earn
& Learn sticker. You may place your stickers in the box
provided at Woolworths Shell Cove or children may return them to
Earn and Learn box located in the school office. This programme
runs until 25 June 2019.
The more stickers we earn, the more we can redeem from a choice
of over 10,000 educational resources, including mathematics and
English resources, art & crafts materials and much more!
We are grateful for your support and look forward to a
successful program.
School Spelling Bee
Shell Cove Public School will be entering selected students from
Stage 2 and 3 in the Premiers Spelling Bee, 2019. Classes will
conduct heats to determine 2 finalists who will then compete in our
school final, which will be held on Monday 24th June 2019 in our
school hall from 11.30am.
Students will be competing under the same conditions as expected
at the regional finals, which will be held from 2nd to 13th
September at local venues. The State final will be held on the 8th
November at the ABC Centre, Sydney.
It is a good idea for students to be exposed to and practice a
range of spelling words from various contexts. Sample word lists
are available on the arts unit website using the following web
address
https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au/premiers-spelling-bee
Word categories include: the arts, food and nutrition, plants
and animals, science and technology as well as general lists.
All children will be given the opportunity to compete in their
class heat, which will be conducted the week prior to the school
final.
