PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
This week:
Moving In
Planning for next year
Kindy Start
Moving In
Hopefully we begin moving into our new building tomorrow. There will be quite a lot of movement and disruption to
learning over the next week as we move and settle in. We have planned our movements so that we don’t have to move
again and can start the 2011 school year as settled as possible.
Computer access will be limited too until classroom computers have been installed and reconfigured. Teachers have
completed reports and supervisors will be proofing them over the next 2 weeks, so there may be some delays in a few
individuals’ reports.
I’m sure the benefits of fantastic new learning spaces will
outweigh the short period of disruption.
Planning for next year
Next week teachers meet to plan classes and programs of work for 2011. I should be able to advise you of our proposed
staffing arrangements, class organisation and anticipated costs for 2011 by Week 9.
Teachers undertake a comprehensive process to develop class
composition including considering age, gender, friendship groups – both positive and negative combinations, learning
needs and strengths, previous combinations, shared class
considerations and other factors. If you have not taken the opportunity to provide us with information to make the best
choice for your child, please do so this week in writing to me as it will generally not be possible next year when classes are
established.
There will be some new faces on our teaching team in 2011.
Mrs Rose-Marie Houghton will be conducting our Reading Recovery program for the next two years, Mr Jon Elbra, Mrs
Bev Morris and Mrs Sue Jordan will be on leave for 2011, and Mr Dennis Jarmaine takes up his permanent position at Avoca
Beach PS. Although our staffing arrangements are subject to change in the first three weeks of the new school year, I
expect temporary teachers, Mrs Noelene Conacher, Miss Sarah Elbra, Miss Kerrie Dillenbeck and Mrs Wendy Matchett, to be
on our teaching team again. I also welcome new team members, Mrs Lisa Wicks and Mr Brett Smith, to Kincumber
Public School. At this stage, Lisa will be working on Early Stage One and Brett will be sharing a class with Mrs Karen
Wardlaw.
Although I anticipate this team composition, it is subject to
change early in the new year.
Kindy Start
Yesterday, our 2011 Kinders attended big school for a session. They had a great time and I am confident of a smooth start
for them next year. I want to thank our incredible Kindy Start teacher, Peta Fell. Each year for the last four years, she has
developed and conducted a fabulous kindergarten orientation program that has given our children the best introduction to
school possible. This, combined with the NSW DET's Best Start Kindergarten Assessment program, means that kids get off to
a flying start. Thank you to Peta, our current kindergarten staff and all the other teachers who have supported by
changing release from class times, switching playground
duties, giving up classrooms and supplying student volunteers. Without you we would not be able to provide such
an amazing program. I'm sure our newest students can't wait till next year!
Hope you had a great week at our great school!
