NEWS FROM THE ACTING

PRINCIPAL

Ben Milsom

An unexpected start to the week on

Monday morning when we had a power

line down across the road. The school

would like to send a big thank you to Evita

Jones, Penni Williams and Maggie (our

Crossing Supervisor) who took control of

proceedings and did an outstanding job

directing traffic at the busiest time of

day. A big thanks to the team at Powercor

and Mildura Police for supporting our

community and the last thanks needs to go

to all our parents. Each of you did a

fantastic job responding to the change in

traffic direction and following what was

expected. The respect and cooperation

shown by parents made the safety

outcome a lot less stressful.

School Attendance

Attendance at school is crucial for ongoing

growth and development of your child,

both socially and developmentally.

School helps:

Maximise life opportunities for students by

building education and support networks

Develop important skills, knowledge and

values that set them further learning and

participation in the community

Students make the most of life

opportunities ‘A child missing one day a fortnight will miss

four weeks in a year, and more than a year

of school by year 10. It is important that

children develop regular attendance habits

at an early age.’

XUNO School Management App

We are using Xuno for all of our

school management (absences,

report distribution, permission

notes). The app has been updated, so you

may need to install the new app. If you

haven’t already installed the app, we

encourage you to do so. The school code

for the app is 2vyt1r. If you have any

troubles accessing the app, please contact

the office Mid-Year Reports

This year’s Mid-Year Report will be available

through the Xuno app and will be available

as of Thursday June 27th. Like we did with

Parent Teacher Interviews, we encourage

all parents to join the Xuno Portal so you

can have access to a range of

options. Those parents/carers having any

trouble with the Xuno portal, please let the

office staff or Ben Milsom know. Learning Conferences

Learning Conferences will take place on

Wednesday July 31st. Once again we will

be asking parents to book their conference

through the Xuno app. Conference times

will open during the first week back at

school. There will be no school on this day

but students are required to be involved in

their 15 minute learning conference. House Shirts

We now have House Shirts available for sale

at our uniform shop – Laser Signs and Print.

Please see below:

PRE-ORDER NOW to receive after 9th August.

Orders can be placed until Sunday 30th

June.

Unfortunately the shirts won’t be ready for

our upcoming House Sports due to the short

time frame but we will provide plenty of

opportunity in Term 3 and Term 4 for

students to wear their shirts should they

purchase. We endeavour to have a

number of House Days in the future and not


just limit the wearing of our new shirts to the

Cross Country and House Sports Day. Working with Children Check

All people who volunteer at school

(sporting events, concert etc) need a

Working with Children Check. Applications

are available online. Volunteer checks are

free. When you receive your WWC card

please bring it to the office if you are

volunteering at school.

please ensure you enrol for 2020 as soon as

possible. Enrolment Zones

The following information was updated

and released last week by DET. All children

are entitled to be enrolled at their

designated neighbourhood school.

Designated neighbourhood schools are

generally the public school within closest

proximity to the student’s permanent

residential address. You can request

enrolment at a school that is not your

designated neighbourhood school. We do

have the capacity to accept students from

outside our zone and are looking at a Prep

enrolment number of 52 students. The

school can only accept your enrolment if

there is sufficient capacity at the school.

The zones are defined as your nearest

school by the shortest practical transport

route. You can check out which school

zone you are in by visiting the following

website www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au Camps Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

2019

The Victorian Government will be providing

a CSEF payment to all eligible families to

assist with the costs of school trips, camps

and sporting activities. Please contact the

office to get an application form. The

School will need to sight and copy the

concession card to ensure that the

parent’s name and Centrelink Reference

Number (CRN) matches the Centrelink

database. Applications close on June 28th

(end of Term 2). Absences

If your child is absent it is a department

requirement that a parent or guardian

informs the school of any student absence.

This can be done via email to the

classroom teacher, message on SeeSaw,

by using Xuno or a phone call. If your child

will be absent for an extended period

please inform the class teacher or school

before they leave. Late Arrivals & Early Departures

All parents / guardians must come via the

office if they are dropping their child off

after 9:00am, or if they are picking their

child up before 3.15pm. There is an iPad to

sign students both in and out of school. Parking

that you don’t park across the footpaths. We have students that use these and they

need to be able to do so safely. The safety of all road users is our highest priority. School Council

The next meeting of the School Council is on Wednesday 7th August at 6:00pm in the

Staffroom. Worm Farms

We are looking at rehousing our worm farms. These are available for $5. Eisteddfod

Congratulations to the 28 Grade 6 students who competed in the Primary School Dance

Section of the Mildura Eisteddfod and were placed 2nd! The students performed a

dance to ‘We Go Together’ from Grease. This is a great reward for all the hard work and

practise that the students have done during their lunchtime over the past term. Thanks

to Mrs Libby Kennedy for choreographing and teaching the routine to the students.

Thanks to Libby and Mrs Nadine McWilliams for accompanying the students to the Arts

Centre on Wednesday.

We are also aware that a

number of our students have

and will be performing at the

Eisteddfod. Congratulations to

anyone who has competed

and good luck to those about

to perform.


VOCABULARY

In Grade 4 this term, we have been exploring vocabulary found in our reading and

everyday life conversations. In order to help us understand the new vocabulary we

complete activities so we gain a better understanding of the word. We find the

definition of the vocab word, use the vocab word in a sentence, find synonyms for

the vocab word and also associate the word to a picture to help us remember the

word. We also learn 2 of our words for our weekly class Vocab Wizard game.


Athletic Sports

Our Athletics Sports are fast approaching. This year we are once again running our

school athletics sports day on the athletics track at the Aerodrome ovals. The athletics

day will be held on Tuesday 23rd July. Students will need to wear appropriate sports

clothing and HOUSE colours for the day.

Parents will need to organise to drop their children off to the athletics track at the

Aerodrome ovals and sign them in with their classroom teachers by 8.50am.

There will be no staff on site at school on this day. NO busses will be available to

transport students from the school. Students can then be collected and signed out at

3.15pm from the Aerodrome ovals.

The day will start with the opening welcome and reading of the oaths at 9.00am. The

students will then break into their year level groups and commence their events by

9.15am. Year level and monster relays will round up the day’s events starting at 2.15pm

followed by the closing assembly.

A full timetable for the day will be in the Term 3 Week 1 newsletter.

We would love to see as many parents as possible supporting their children on the day.

PE and Sport practice All students have been practising the various athletics events during P.E. classes and

classroom sport over the past three weeks. It would helpful if the children could wear

suitable clothing and footwear every day.

Lunch orders for Athletics Sports Day The Sunraysia Baseball Association have kindly offered to open the canteen at the Aero

Ovals for our Sports Day. Food and drinks will be available to purchase throughout the

day for parents and friends. All students wishing to have a lunch order will need to order

MUSIC with Mrs Mac

The Preps, Grade 1s and 2s have learnt to play lots of songs on the

keyboards and xylophones, and chose their favourite one for an

individual performance. They have also collaborated to perform as a

class band where they voted on a song, chose which instruments to

use and actions to accompany their performance.

The Grade 3s and 4s also practised a variety of songs on the keyboards

and xylophones for an individual performance. They have looked at

Music through the Decades….the features, genres, instruments,

clothing and famous artists and how they have changed.

The Grade 5s and 6s also learnt some songs on the keyboards and

xylophones for an individual performance. They are currently

researching an Australian musician/singer/band to present in a format

of their choice.

Have a look on Seesaw for their individual and Class Band

performances!


GIRLS SOCCER

On Monday 12 grade 5 and 6 girls travelled to the Aerodrome ovals to

compete in the Sunraysia division finals. We played 3 games in total,

unfortunately losing our first two games to Mildura Primary 2 – 1 their

way and St Pauls 4 – 0 their way. Our third game was a playoff for third

and fourth against Sacred Heart and this ended in a 1 all draw. This

means we finished equal third for the day and will not be progressing

to the next round.

Our goal scorers for the day were Kiara and Aleisha with one goal each. Bianca, Lottie and

Emma Norris held up our backline well and special mention must go to Mr Allen who took over

the team mid-season and produced encouraging results. Thank you.

BOYS NETBALL

On Monday Miss Hepworth took our boys netball team to Sarah oval to

compete in the Sunraysia Division finals. We knew we would have tough

competition, but we played the best we have played since coming

together. We played Sacred Heart and had a very comfortable win. We also

played Mildura South, losing only by a couple of goals to them.

Unfortunately, we were just outsized. Our most improved players for the day

BOYS HOCKEY

On Thursday we travelled to the Mildura Hockey Centre to play in

the Sunraysia Division finals. We played on a much bigger pitch this

week, but we rose to the occasion. We won two out of our three

games for the day, finishing in second place. We all had a great

day and our strongest players for the day were Cooper Topp and

Harvey Pardon.

GIRLS HOCKEY

The girls hockey team made it to the second

round at the Aerodrome Ovals, which we

played yesterday. Our first game we drew with

one point each. Our second game we won 2-0.

Our last game was the decider as to whether

we made it to the next round or not. Fortunately

we won 1-0 so we are now progressing to the

next round in Swan Hill. Our goal scorers were

Rose, Charlotte and Maia. The most improved player for the day was Natalie. Overall it was a

fun experience and an amazing effort by the team.

BOYS FOOTBALL

Yesterday the boy’s football team played at the Aero Ovals. We played 3 games for the day,

playing Mildura South, Sacred Heart and Merbein. Unfortunately we lost our first two games, but

both were very tight contests. We had a huge win in our 3rd game, which was a nice way to

finish. We played really well as a team with everyone contributing along the way. Our best

players for the day were: Ned, Tom, Sam and Harper. Most improved for the day goes to Charlie.
