7.45pm ~ Presentation of our 2016 School Leaders

MANGOES MANGOES MANGOES Our mango order arrived last Friday and this was the last pick of the season. As they are green you need to leave them out to ripen for about 3 to 4 days, then refrigerate them & bring them back out to ripen as you want them. We still have about 20 boxes if you or if you know of anyone who is interested in buying a box. There are approximately 18 mangoes per box for $25.oo. A big thank you to Zoi Tricarico for organising our mangoes.

Our Kialla Central P.S. House Athletics is on Friday 4th March at Kialla Central Primary School.

Students are encouraged to wear their House colours for this event. A note will be sent home to our new families informing you of what House your son / daughter is in.

Archer ~ Blue Fairmaid ~ Green Mitchell ~ Yellow

We assemble on the oval at 9.15am for a 9.30am start and finish about 2.00pm. I am seeking some parent helpers for this day. If you are available to help please let me know.

DON’T FORGET ... We also have our big EGPSSA’s Athletics Carnival is at McEwen Reserve Shepparton on Friday 18th March.. We are required to run an event as well as supervise a couple of different age groups. We need lots of helpers to ensure this day is a success. Further details will be available closer to the date.

The link between school and home and home

and school is very Imperative to your child’s education. The open relation-ships we have with our families at

Kialla Central is second to none and some-thing we are very proud of! We encourage and welcome families to be active members of our school community. However, while our staff are readily available and accessable, it is important that you make an appointment to see your child’s teacher. As you can appreciate, our teachers have their morning routines and need time to prepare or setup things for the day’s learning or they may be on yard duty. After school they have meetings and /or professional learning sessions to attend and further preparation for the next day. Your assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated.

SOCIAL MEDIA Parents, carers, students and staff all share responsibility for ensuring that Kialla Central Primary School is a

positive, respectful and safe school environment. We are all responsible for sustaining a positive culture within our school community and for treating each other with dignity and respect at all times. Everyone should be mindful of the manner in which they conduct themselves in and around the school as well as on social media when referring to our school, including the use of images such as our logo & signage. Please remember we are the role models for our impressionable students. Thank you to those student’s who have already given me their expressions of interest for our Kialla United teams for footy, netball, soccer & our Auskick I have attached another lot of forms to this newsletter. Our school assemblies are now being held in the Library as our 4th room is now setup up as a classroom on a permanent basis. Assemblies are conducted by our student leaders starting at 2.45pm Monday afternoons. I have placed our order for our Grade 6 polo shirts. I am hoping they will be ready in a couple of weeks. On Monday 29th February it is Parents’ Club AGM followed by a general meeting. The AGM will begin at 7.00pm. If you would like further information about Parents’ Club and what’s involved please see me or one of our current members.

On behalf of Kialla Central Primary School I would like to thank our current Parents’ Club members who have done an enormous amount of work for our students and school: Tish Okely (President), Deanne Moulsdale (Secretary), Lisa Irwin (Treasurer), Wendy Kennedy, Tracy Blake, Annette Hunt, Amy Keat, Nadine Keyter and Lisa Garcia.

It is also that time of year again when schools hold their School Council elections. We have 4 parent vacancies to be filled this year as their 2 year term as School Councillors draws to an end. Our retiring members are: Graeme Mitchell, Robyn McCully, Tina Kerr & Anthony Kerr. Retiring School Councillors who still have children enrolled at Kialla Central are eligible to renominate for this year’s elections. Mitchell Zito’s position as our staff representative also becomes vacant after his 2 year term. He too can also re-nominate. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our 2015 School Council members: Bob Scott (President), Tina Kerr (Vice President), Robyn McCully (Treasurer), Andy Ryan, Joanne Robertson, Alan Keat, Graeme Mitchell, Anthony Kerr & Mitchell Zito for their time, effort and support as members of our School Council.

Nominations are now being sought for our 2016 School Council. Forms are available at the office and need to be returned to school by 4pm Wednesday 24th February 2016. If you would like to discuss this role further please come and see me.

Classroom WRAP

It was a very busy day in the city. The workers were working busily, the school students were

learning busily, the criminals were robbing – busily. But Blu – Tac Guy was having a late

breakfast (at 3:00) when the Mission Siren rang - again…

By Liesl

I was almost late to the concert. I only just made it with twenty minutes to spare. I walked into

where I was meant to sit which was D9. Then, the Gods themselves walked onto stage…

It was 3 in the afternoon and just like always, Luca was still in bed drawing silly

constellations on his notepad. Luca had always been interested in the idea of space. All the

planets and stars fascinated him, especially the glow and colour they all gave off. His interest

in the universe first sparked in the sixth grade when all his classmates where assigned a space

project in Science…

The crowd went wild as Selena Gomez walked down the red carpet. There were pictures getting

taken every second. “Thank you, thank you” yelled Selena but it was hopeless the crowd was

too loud...

By Satinderjit

There I was at the NASA space station. I was going to the moon. This was a big thing for me

going to the moon by myself! Going to space had been a dream of mine for a long time. Many

things were running through my head, good and bad. 3, 2, 1 and there I go!...

By Ebony

Suddenly, a burst of light came out. Opening the door was the Principal making a gesture to

the person inside who walked out. He walked straight to the hallway into darkness. “Callum in

NOW!” shouted the Principal looking stern like he was a General and I was a Private. I walked

in and had a look around the office. It looked rusty with heaps of antiques and in the corner

was one massive portrait of his Mum...

By Callum

It was an ordinary day, Frank was outside playing with his dog. It was all fun, until a shin-

ing reflection caught Frank’s eye. He thought it must have been a plane, until the light be-

came brighter and larger. As it got closer it got windier. He was trying to avoid the truth, but

there was no point lying to himself - it was a UFO!

Classroom WRAP F/1 Gamble

Our Foundation students are learning to write & count the numbers to 5. The letters we are learning are Ll and Tt.

Our Grade 1s are counting and writing numbers to 20, before/after and backwards. They are working on blending ‘e” as in bed.

2/3/4 Baker

We are working on writing narratives through the use of study ladder. We are continuing working on place value. For Integrated Studies, we have been looking at rules & laws in the community.

5/6 Zito

This week we are working on descriptive writing about a place. In maths, we are continuing with place value.

Design & Creativity Technology ~ Miss H & Mrs O

Our F/1 students are identifying and creating 6 people in their

family or their friends. One person must be them, another must be

their buddy and the other four are their choice. They are doing a

rough draft before creating their master pieces on card.

Our Grade 2/3/4 students are creating themselves using a wooden template of a person as

their starting point. Their goal is to make them as accurate as possible.

Our 5/6 students are also using a wooden template of a person as their starting point. They

have to create one side as them now and the other as them in the future at age 25.

Southern Cluster Football Club

Dear Parents,

The Shepparton District Junior Football League has made some changes to the structure

of the football competition. The changes are to develop clubs based in the different areas

of the league. The model will see a Southern Football Club formed, which will include the

previous Guthrie St, Kialla Central, Wilmot Rd, St Georges Rd and Kialla West schools.

This year we are having a phasing in year where our name has changed from Kialla Unit-

ed to Southern Cluster. The groupings have now gone to age groups, with an under 10 and

an under 12 competition, children still need to be at least in grade 3 to play. There may be

some flexibility with players to develop teams within our cluster. Details about training

and teams will be organised when the expression of interest notes have been returned and

we have an indication of numbers.

These teams don’t rely on players alone, coaches, team managers, committee members

and helpers are needed to ensure these teams are formed.

Please complete the expression of interest form below and return it to the school office by

Friday 19th February. Once an indication of players, coaches and helpers is received in-

formation regarding registration and fees will be sent out.
