SKOOLBAG APP

The Stradbroke Skoolbag app is now available for parents to

download to your mobile devices. Please see school website

for instructions about how to do this. Skoolbag is a school to

parent communication tool and provides schools with an easy

way to communicate with parents. This app will be used to

share school news, newsletters, events calendar,

cancellations, school notices, school information, school

timetables, school documents and much more. No more lost

paper in school bags.

SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING AT STRADBROKE

At Stradbroke School we are

in our third year of working

within the Kids Matter

Framework. There are 4

components that continue to

guide the teaching staff

through a deeper understanding about how to recognise,

address and then teach our students better ways to identify

and manage themselves, socially and emotionally.

2014 Positive school community

2015 Social and emotional learning

2016 Working with parents and caregivers

2016 Helping children with mental health issues

During 2015, within the framework of Kids Matter, the

teaching staff worked through a process of choosing and then

investigating specific programs that we could start to

implement in 2016. The program that we very passionately

decided suited Stradbroke School is called PLAY IS THE WAY®.

From this year on, all teaching staff, SSOs and leadership staff

will be embedding the concepts and language associated with

this program with our students, in classrooms, in all specialist

Excellence and Achievement in a Supportive School Environment 3

subjects, in the yard and by all staff who work at Stradbroke

School.

“PLAY IS THE WAY® is a practical methodology for teaching

social and emotional skills using guided play, classroom

activities and an empowering language. It is a process that

gives primary schools a way to develop, improve and

entrench the personal and social capabilities of students.

PLAY IS THE WAY® is suitable for primary school children of

all ages, abilities and ethnic backgrounds. No particular

sporting or athletic ability is required to successfully

participate”.

Wilson McCaskill – founder and owner of PLAY IS THE WAY®

On the Thursday before students came back to school, all

teaching staff, leadership and SSOs were inducted in the

concepts and language that are the foundation of PLAY IS

THE WAY®.

During this first week of school, all classroom and specialist

teachers have had a strong focus on social and emotional

learning and have started implementing the concepts and

language of PLAY IS THE WAY®. For more information about

PLAY IS THE WAY® please visit the website,

https://www.playistheway.com.au.

For further information about this program at Stradbroke

School, I will be running two parent information workshops.

Please choose the time that most suits you (they are the

same workshop, repeated twice) and ring Anona or Kathy at

the front office on 8337 2861 to register to attend.

• Friday 19th February 11.00-12.30pm.

• Tuesday 1st March 6.00-7.30pm.

Rachel Pontifex, School Counsellor

WEATHER POLICY

At Stradbroke we have a hot weather policy for days over

38°C. When the forecast maximum is temperature is over

35°C daily fitness will be before 10am. The temperature is

checked on the Bureau of Meteorology website just before

recess and lunch and if the temperature is 38°C or higher all

children remain in their classrooms for the recess and lunch

breaks.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

Classical Guitar

Due to the restructure of the Instrumental Music Program we

are unable to confirm if we have been allocated an extra

lesson for beginner students and therefore we have limited

positions in 2016. Letters have gone home today for six

successful students. Once confirmation is received we will

contact another six students. Unfortunately, due to the

limited positions some students will miss out this year. A

letter will be sent home as soon as confirmation is received.

held in Rehn Hall on Tuesday 9th

regarding the sports you are interested. It will also be an

opportunity to express your interest in being a team manager

or coach of one of the teams. Registrations are open for

netball, cricket and basketball. Seasons yet to start include

soccer, football and possibly cycling. School sport depends

heavily on the involvement of parents so we encourage you
