Assistant Principal Report

Expected Behaviour Notification

As part of our renewed School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support, we have a new Compass notification for parents. When your child is acknowledged for demonstrating expected behaviour, the teacher will complete the Compass form stating which behaviour was most outstanding. Your child might have been acknowledged for one behaviour or more than one. They do not need to demonstrate all behaviours to receive recognition.

You will be notified to check Compass to see what your child was acknowledged for and what outcome they received. For example, your child might have had a verbal acknowledgement, received an acknowledgement card or Student of the Week award.

We encourage you to take some time to have a chat to your child about their acknowledgement when you see them at the end of the school day.

Pride and Integrity Raffle 

Arriving late to school can have a huge impact on your learning, especially if it happens often. Even arriving 5 minutes late every day adds up to 3 days of learning missed over the year! Arriving 30 minutes late every is the same as missing 18 days learning opportunities over the year. We encourage students to be at school on time.

In recognition of the students who are attending school on time, we have the Pride and Integrity raffle. This is to acknowledge the students demonstrating Pride and Integrity by being ready to learn each day.

Every student who is at school, and in their classroom, before the bell (9am) will have their name added to the class attendance box. So, if they are present every day of the week, on time, they will have 5 entries into the raffle. 

Their class teacher will draw one name from the class box on Friday morning, just after 9am. 

This person will then go into the whole school draw (this means one student from every class will be in the whole school draw) to be drawn at assembly that afternoon. 

The class winners for Week 4 were: 

FA – Hunter, FB – Luke, 1/2B – Selihom, 1/2C – Jolisa, 1/2E – Catherine, 3A – Abigail, 3B – Tiana, 3C – Azra, 4A – Ebu, 4B – Justin, 4C – Kailash, 5A – Yangchen, 5B – Angie, 5C – Elianna 

The winner was Kailash from 4C! Kailash received 10 Caught You Doing Right cards.

2023 Term 4 Challenge of the Week

Week 6 Word Web Challenge

The students were:

Litea, Viraj & Sahib 1/2C

Kilian, Kim, Elizabeth & John 4C

This week’s topic for the challenge is FUN.

You need to find as many words as possible related to the topic/word in the centre of the web. You can continue the web as much as you can.

I will have an example of Word Web for people to view, just outside of the office, to help explain how to do.

You must collaborate with at least one other person (a friend, parent, classmate, etc) and no more than 3 other people. If you do not collaborate, you will not receive a Caught You Doing Right card for Collaboration.

Thank you,
