Dates to Remember

Acting

Principal’s Message

Student Free Day–Reminder This has been in the dates to remember for some time, however to ensure all Kingsville families are aware –a reminder that students do not attend school next Monday 4

th November.

This student free day will allow the high level of collaboration required to further develop our programme of inquiry. We will specifically focus on the mapping out of the relationship between Ausvels and our transdisciplinary programme of inquiry ensuring:

vertical and horizontal articulation

alignment of the POI with the Ausvels

content

central ideas are relevant, significant,

challenging and engaging

As a community of learners we want both teachers and students to be active participants in the learning process. It is critical that we continue to work collaboratively to ensure that units of inquiry engage and excite our students. “The most important aspect of education is not the imparting of specific knowledge, but rather the learning of how to find knowledge when it is needed, how to assimilate that knowledge, how to integrate that knowledge, and how to synthesize new ideas and solve problems,” (Ertas 2000). Cyber Safety-Parent Information Night I hope this important event is in everyone’s diary. Not only do we as a school community recognise that this information is timely and relevant, we have also received significant feedback from parents requesting this information night so I expect this will be well supported.

Fundraising News School Disco – Friday 22

nd November

It’s on again! The much anticipated school disco will be held on Friday 22

nd

November. The disco will be divided into two sessions with Prep to Grade 2 from 6pm to 7.15pm and Grades 3-6 from 7.30pm to 8.45pm. Many thanks to Aaron D’Arcy (dad of Milly), who returns once again as our fabulous DJ. To make drop off and collection easier, children will enter the Hall via the Bishop St doors and will exit via the glass doors leading onto the deck. Please note that the only access to the school is through the Bishop St gate. The cost for the evening is $5 which includes disco entry, a drink and a glow stick. Water will also be available throughout the event. The fundraising "bouncers" will be on hand to ensure that everyone has a fun evening. Forms must be returned by Tuesday 19th November. Pop the flyer on the fridge at home as a reminder.

If you can help on any future events – even if only for an hour – please contact Liz Reinoga on 0424 158 532 or [email protected]. Any help is appreciated. Jackie Parnell, Fundraising co-ordinator 0425 750 497

An independent and accredited research company is conducting the survey, and it takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The survey will remain opened until Friday 22
