D irector’s Report
Dear Parents and Carranballac Community Members
Welcome to our final newsletter for this term.
We are encouraging all families to register for our newsletter on line as we move into the paperless world of communica-tion. Currently we have a significant prize to be drawn for one lucky family who registers. Details are on the webpage.
STAFFING NEWS:
Mrs Krajewski (Year 2 at Jamieson Way) is moving away from the local area and will be replaced by Miss Lythgo as the full time class teacher.
Mr Klein (Year 8 at Boardwalk) has decided to seek employment closer to his hometown and will be replaced by Mr Ander-
son.
Ms Harrison (Early Years music at Boardwalk) will also take up a new position closer to home and our replacement will be selected in the coming week.
Mr Richmond (Facilities) has decided to retire and his replacement will be Mr Curran.
Mrs Kearney (Campus Principal at Boardwalk) will remain on leave and her replacement will continue to be Mrs Myors. Miss Kompa will continue as Mrs Myors replacement as Middle Years Assistant Principal at Jamieson Way.
Ms Bogunovic (F/1 - Jamieson Way) has decided to resign her position and Miss Sam Burden will be her replacement. Jen-
ny Kompa and Brenda Lycke will be participating in a Korean exchange during this coming holiday and for the first two weeks of next term. We wish them a safe and educational trip as they represent the College.
I will be on leave for week one of Term 3 - Ms Naughton will replace me and Mrs Hall will pick up Ms Naughton's position.
Yes there are a number of changes, all of which are the result of natural staff movement. We have strong belief in our selection and replacement processes and look forward to your continued support, especially for new staff and for those in
acting positions. CULTURAL DIVERSITY WEEK:
Our College continues to demonstrate it's commitment to acknowledge and respect the diversity of our local community. The breadth and quality of the many activities being undertaken this week is amazing. Both assemblies on Monday, posi-
tively highlighted our diverse community profile and the depth of respect that our student community has for Cultural Di-
versity.
My congratulations go to our CDW team, all staff and students for the excellent manner in which they have organised and participated. A special thanks also goes to the many parents who took the time to attend some of the week's special
events. Take the time to check out the door displays - I am sure you will be impressed. ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS:
I had the pleasure of attending our Year 7 presentations of their recent study around Ancient Civilisations. Students im-pressed me with their understandings, use of varied mediums in presentations, ability to articulate their knowledge, confi-
dence with which they shared their learning and ability to interact with other classes as they toured the displays. Well
done Year 7. SPORT:
In recent weeks College students have participated in rugby, netball, basketball, cross country, athletics, football to name a few. Staff have been most pleased with our student's teamwork skills, high levels of effort and sportsperson ship. Well
done students and thank you staff for your commitment to our quality sports program. Special thanks goes to our two physical education staff for their leadership and 'behind the scenes' organisation.
REPORTS / HOLIDAYS:
Staff have now completed the important task of report writing and are in the midst of finalising Individual Learning Plans. I would like to thank them for their professionalism and commitment in order to provide families with the best advise re-
garding their children's learning.
Parents it is now your turn to spend time sitting down with your child(ren) going over their report and then allocating time to attend next term's Student Learning Conferences.
In conclusion I do hope everyone has a lovely holiday and I look forward to meeting more families early
in Term 3.

Cultural Diversity Week is always a highlight on the
Carranballac College calendar. There are many exciting
activities planned this week acknowledging and cele-
brating our culturally rich and diverse community.
Congratulations to our successful Year 5/6 Volleyball
students. They will next play at district level under Ms
Robinson as their coach.
Mr Klein noted great sportsmanship and team work
from the Boys Netball team last week. Congratulations
on representing our school so magnificently.
Another sporting success is Clancy Freemantle compet-
ing in Judo in the 19th KIC Cup. Clancy was placed first
in his individual division and also first in the team com-
petition. Congratulations Clancy. A credit to you and
your many hours of dedicated, daily practice.
Our Rock bands entertained at Boardwalk last Friday.
The Year 5/6 BER building was rocking as our talented
musicians entertained an excited group of Year 3-7’s.
Well done everyone involved.
I have noted an improvement in student respect shown
through wearing the correct college uniform. Thank you
to these students and their families who continue to
support our college in this important way.
Last Friday, our Year 7’s put on a magnificent expo in
their classroom titled Ancient Civilisations. This exhibi-
tion was enhanced by the surprise visit of our very own
Pharaoh, none other than the King Tutankhamen (aka
our College Director, Mr O’Brien.)
My sincere thanks for the wonderful support I have en-
joyed at Boardwalk this term.

A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful Classroom Help-ers who supported our teachers and students on ex-cursions. These amazing parents supported our Year 2 students when they went to Scienceworks last week and also supported our Year F/1 students when they went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday. Such posi-tive support is invaluable to our teachers and helps make the learning experience stronger for our stu-dents. Well done to our students - we can be very proud of the manner in which our youngest students represented our college. Congratulations to our Year 5/6 students who went in several different directions last week to play inter-school sport against other schools. Our teachers re-ported strong sportsmanship and great college repre-sentation. This week has been incredible as we celebrate Cultural Diversity Week at Carranballac. Each day has provided sensational learning experiences for our students as they learn about the cultures and customs of their peers. We are looking forward to our National Cos-tume Parade this Friday - parents are most welcome to join us for this celebration! It is hard to believe that half the year has disappeared already! Thank you to our dedicated staff for their amazing commitment to our students. Thank you to our families for the trust and positive support to make this community strong. Most importantly, thank you to our students for their respect, their pride in our school, and their enthusiasm towards their learning. From all at Jamieson Way, we wish our families an enjoyable break.

‘Welcome to our
Cultural Diversity Week!’
‘Carranballac College has been truly buzzing this week!’
The week began with our cross campus Assemblies being delivered by our amazing Guardians and their peers in many wonderful languages. These ranged from Mandarin, Vietnamese, Greek, Malaysian and French ably translated into English. This had our audience transfixed and it was a very special way to begin this wonderful week!
Following this, our students across all levels proudly shared interesting facts about the countries they will be learning about this week, the F/1 (JW) and Year 2 students (BW) performed songs learnt in Japanese, the Choir sang beautifully, Year 7 performed the Haka (BW) and students presented a special ‘Word of the Week’ related to Cultural Diversity.
Then onto our creative and interactive Lunchtime activities! Supported brilliantly by our Teachers and Guardians, these activities have been a wonderful success and it’s great to see the children lining up in anticipation. In only 3 days the children have had many opportunities to make Japa-nese Windsocks, Sri Lankan Shades, Chinese Dragon Masks, try Sumo wrestling, Bollywood Dancing, The Haka, Cultural Games, Indian Rangoli Chalk designs, Koorie stories with Judy Dal-ton-Walsh, Aboriginal rock painting, Vandna teaching Bollywood dancing, African drumming, Polish and Hirigami activities.
My, my, my what fun!
We would encourage you to talk to your child/ren about their experiences this week, either around the dinner table or travelling home in the car as they are bursting to share their fabulous experiences with you. Please don’t forget our Cultural Dress parade this Friday in the Gym at 9.00am. All parents and friends are invited and we hope you can join us. Thankyou. There will be more information to follow in our next Newsletter.
