R-2 & Year 3-7 SPORTS DAY
Last week we celebrated the Junior Primary and Primary Sports’ Days on
Thursday 9th
and Friday 10th
November. Sports Day is always a highlight of
the school year and an opportunity for all students to participate in a range
of events, allowing them to put into practice a range of physical education
skills.
Thank you to the family and friends who joined us on each of those days to
support and encourage our students! Our focus is that all students will not
only participate but enjoy themselves as they competed individually and in
their house teams.
These days would not be possible without the hard work of Stradbroke staff
behind the scenes so we’d like to thank the following people. Debbie
Bishop, Beau Lee and Kay Mathie for organising the two days. Barry Mercer
and Tom Giordano for the line marking on the oval. Kate Majewski, Tanya
Scanlan and the fundraising committee for the sausage sizzle and gelati ice
creams. Courtney Cox and Penny Kitchen for choreographing the health
hustle and class teachers, specialist teachers and SSOs for their
contribution.
Congratulations to Koonga who
won Sports’ Day with 412
points. Followed by Forest (2nd
),
Leabrook (3rd
) and Moriatta
(4th
). Congratulations to
Leabrook for winning the Health
Hustle and Cheer Chant.
Individual sprints’ results and
relay results have been included
in the newsletter.
CLASS PLACEMENTS 2018
The class placement process for 2018 is underway. It is a complex process
that takes many weeks and many hours of teacher time to complete. Our
enrolment numbers at each year level will mean that we will have
composite classes (two year levels together e.g. year 6/7). Earlier this term
we invited parents to share with us any specific information that may
impact your child’s class placement. For some families there is anxiety about
placement in a composite class. Current research indicates there is no
discernible difference in academic performance between composite or
single year level classes. We have an article about the research available
from the Front Office or Student Services for any families interested in
knowing more. Composite classes are a practical solution to managing the
varied enrolment numbers at each year level without creating classes that
exceed the DECD recommended class sizes.
We also advised parents that specific requests to be/not be in a composite
class could not be accommodated. We have received some letters from

parents making specific requests about composite classes.
Please note these requests cannot be included in our class
placement considerations. Please be assured that we take
your requests seriously however it is not possible to meet
every request. We use our knowledge and expertise of how
students engage at school and in classes to make decisions
for the benefit of all children. For reasons of privacy and
confidentiality we may not be able to tell you why a particular
decision is made however we can assure you that we spend
many hours considering alternatives before making the best
decision possible for all students.

is a charity that has locations throughout South Australia.
They run South Australia’s largest animal shelter which is

surrendered and abandoned animals and reuniting lost pets
with their owner.
It would be greatly appreciated if the school’s students and
families donate non-perishable pet food, old towels, rugs, old
clothing (which is used as bedding), blankets and pet toys
(preferably without stuffing) to support this charity.
These things can be donated in the box at the Front Office
