Whilst it has been a very busy term, it has been highly producve and I am very proud of our students and teachers. Recent school results including NAPLAN indicate that there has been great growth across our school in the areas of Literacy and Numeracy. Our hard work and new iniaves have made a posive impact in delivery of quality learning experiences. NAPLAN results were sent home with all students on Monday. On Monday, we were ably represented by Laura, Isla, Muskaan, Niya, Taylah and Zuleikha at the District Public Speaking Debang compeon. Well done to each of you on your preparaon and eloquent speeches given. It was a high quality compeon and we’re proud of your efforts! Congratulaons to our school Junior Soccer team who were premiers for the Zone PSSA compeon! The team has pracced hard and played exemplary soccer throughout the season under the expert coaching of Mrs Cullen. A big congratulaons also to all of our other Winter PSSA teams for your effort and sportsmanship throughout the winter season! We are regularly complimented by other schools and spectators on both our behaviour and sportsmanship! This term, we have been explicitly tesng our K-3 student’s reading skills, parcularly in the areas of phonemic knowledge and understanding as well as phonics. These areas are key to early strong foundaonal reading levels. Next term, we will be introducing some explicit iniaves to assist in the development of these areas across K-3. Our Years 4-6 students will connue to build their knowledge of Reciprocal Reading approaches. Finally, today our Senior School students (Years 5&6) presented their latest Project Based Learning tasks to family and friends at the ‘Urban Planners Open Day’. The Senior School have been researching cies from around the globe and have created amazing displays and models. Today, they undertook the role of ‘Urban Designers’ and presented their plans very arculately! This is more amazing work being achieved in our Senior School!!

Did you know that 3/4O has SWAG! Success, Willpower, A Positive Attitude
and Goals! I saw their great door display as soon as I approached their
classroom and it’s absolutely true!
I really enjoyed spending time in 3/4O and seeing the
hard working, motivated and responsible students
trying their best with every task.
3/40 taught me about the craft of Paper Quilling and
I had the pleasure of seeing them create their very
own trees with the intricate technique. It sure is
trickier than what it seems!
I learned that Paper Quilling is the art of cutting
paper into long thin strips, rolling and pinching the
pieces into different shapes, and then gluing the
shapes together to form decorative art. Make sure to
check out their Tree display in the office area!
In Writing they have been learning a lot about
Procedure texts. Students have learned
about the purpose, structure and features
of procedure texts. They did a group work
challenge in which they had to work
together to create a paper plane. Sounds
easy but here is where the hard part was!
Each group had a different type of
procedure to follow. The first group had an image of the finished product, the second group
only had diagrams, the third group only had written steps and the fourth group had to watch a
YouTube tutorial. From this task they learned the importance of having all of those features of a
procedure text in order to create a final product!
In Maths they have been learning about Multiplication and Division. I loved seeing the students
apply different strategies in solving tricky problems! Some students even taught me how
Multiplication and Division are inverse operations just like Addition and Subtraction!
I sure had a great time learning with the students in 3/4O that definitely have S.W.A.G!

Stage 3 Urban Planners Day
This week marks the final stage of our Project Based Learning (PBL) Task. This term, we were all Urban Planners leading up to our display day that showcased our creative cities. We started the task by looking at cities around the world, and researching all aspects about these cities. We wrote up an informative report about our chosen city and used this information to influence our creative cities. We had several aspects of design for our cities, including looking at what buildings, landmarks and infrastructure was going into our designs; as well as aspects such as cuisine, entertainment, money etc. Once we had all of these aspects worked out, we were able to start building our 3D city model. The students were able to be creative about how they built their 3D model – some were using clay, lego and recyclable materials. This project has allowed us to apply the knowledge and skills learnt in so many aspects of our learning, including Literacy, Numeracy, Geography, Science and Visual Arts. It has been a great learning experience for all the students involved. The teachers that have guided the students through this process have been overwhelmed with the success and enthusiasm that the students have shown through this project.
