Mr Bell Leaving End of Term 1 On Monday I informed staff and sent a letter home with students that I will be finishing as Principal of Kilkivan SS at the end Term 1. I will be starting as Principal of One Mile State School at the beginning of Term 2. I would like to thank all members of the school and wider community for the work and excellent results we have been able to achieve since I began here in 2011. Principal for Term 2 I am able to announce that Mrs Karen Warren will be Principal for Term 2 2016. Mrs Warren is currently the Principal of Two Mile State School in Gympie. She has had some experiences with the staff and some students through the Small School Sports Carnivals and was here in Kilkivan when we hosted the athletics carnival last year. I’m sure you will all make her feel welcome next term when she starts. We are also getting a visit from Karen next week so I can show her around the school and provide information to her to assist with a smooth transition. Great Attendance for Year 7 Great Job Year 7 students with an outstanding attendance rate of 97.17% for weeks 5 and 6 of Term 1. I’m looking forward to a special morning tea with the year level that has the best attendance for the term. Mid Semester Report Cards Teachers have begun looking at completing the mid semester report cards. The reports aim to provide parents with information on how their son/daughter is progressing at the halfway point of the semester. The reports will be sent out in the last week of Term.

Thank You Stuart Bell Principal

HEAD LICE • Head lice (nits) – Some facts to consider: • Head lice have been around for thousands

of years and anyone can get them. Head lice can be easily transmitted at school with children playing together as well as working closely together.

• Using the conditioner & comb method once each week can help your family prevent and control head lice.

• Head Lice do not carry disease. • Direct contact is required for transmission

from person to person (head to head). • To treat head lice you can purchase

specific lice treatment products at the chemist or supermarket or you can use the conditioner and comb method.

• It is important to check for head lice and treat promptly if head lice are found.

• Also a linen change for the affected child’s bedding will be helpful particularly the pillow case.

• Itchiness of the scalp may not disappear immediately after treatment. This may take a few days to settle down, but itchiness of the scalp alone is not a reliable sign of presence or absence of head lice.

• Treatment will need to be repeated after 7 days, or as per the instructions on the product you have chosen.

Good luck!

CHAPPY CHAT

Hello Everyone, The weeks are flying by so fast and before we know it, the Easter break will be here. This has been helped along by the short 9 week term and because Easter falls at the end of March this year. It’s almost time to start thinking about holiday ac-tivities. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been passing tips on about “Families that work well”. Even just adopting one of these ideas, will make a difference to you and your family. We have looked at Make time for listening and talking; make family time; be affectionate and

caring. Today is about accepting differences. “ Accept Differences: -Let it be known that each family member is special in their own way- whatever the differences. Let them feel proud to be themselves. – Allow each person to be excited about their own interests – show re-spect and tolerance. – No one should be left out or made to feel the odd one out in the family. Share the chores and the power: - Let all family members, including children, have a real say in what happens in the family – it’s important that people feel listened to and valued. Sharing power promotes trust and caring. – share the chores among family members – cooking, cleaning, gardening. Young children may be able to help prepare food or set the table. As they get older they can have more responsibil-ity. Couples who support each other around the house, help the family run smoothly. –Have daily routines in the family. This helps children feel secure. – Use adult power wisely. Use hu-mour and encouragement, not punishment and threats. An ongoing fight for control is not helpful for children. The use of violence or in-timidation is destructive and makes all family members unhappy.” There will be more tips for Families that work well, in next week’s Chat.

Here is a great family meal idea for this week. Savoury lamb chops and Country Corn Bake. Prepare them, then place them in the oven together to bake. Savoury Lamb Chops

In a small saucepan, put 1 cup of water, 2 tblsp vinegar, 2 tblsp brown sug-ar, ½ tsp mustard powder, ¼ cup plain flour, ¼ cup tomato sauce, ½ tsp ginger powder, ½ tsp curry powder.

Bring to a simmer, stirring continually. Place chops in an oven proof dish and pour the sauce over them.

Cover with alfoil and cook at 180 degrees for 2 hours. Remove the alfoil for the last 20 mins of the cooking time.

Country Corn Bake Finely chop 1 onion, ½ cup of grated carrot, ½ cup grated zucchini, ½ cup capsicum, ½ cup diced celery, ½ cup shallots, ½ cup grated cheese, ½ cup SR flour, 4eggs, 30g melted butter,4 diced bacon rashers, 440g drained corn kernels, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a 20cm round cake tin, which has been greased and lightly dusted with dry breadcrumbs.
