Principal News Term 2 Closure
What has been a very busy term closes for the vacation period at the end of the school
day on Friday 30th June. I would like to wish all students, parents and staff a very
relaxing vacation break and I hope you take the opportunity to re-charge the
batteries. School re-commences for children on Tuesday 18th July.
Student Reports Semester 1
Reports for all students were issued yesterday. I ask that all parents take the
opportunity to sit with their child and discuss their report, celebrating successes and
identifying areas for improvement in Semester 2. I also urge any parent who has a
concern about any element of the report to arrange an appointment with the teacher
to discuss. Appointments can be booked directly with the teacher or through the
office on 9795 2999.
Transportable classrooms removal
The school has recently been notified by the Department of Education that they will
be removing 4 transportable classrooms (2 Early Childhood, 2 general purpose) to
locate at other schools experiencing rapid growth in student numbers. These
buildings will be removed some time during Semester 2.
The removal of these buildings means that we will need to relocate a number of our
programs. Where a program is relocated, we will endeavour to do this in a manner
that does not impact upon student learning.
Filtration System
The school is currently having a filtration system installed to our reticulation network.
The system will filter out the rust and impurities that exist in our bore water supply,
and will improve the quality of water available to be used on our grounds. The system
includes a settling pond, which will be fully fixed to prevent unauthorised access. The
filtration system will be fully operational in time for warmer weather, and will greatly
assist with our grounds improvement program.
‘Peace Child’
Congratulations to all students, parents and staff who have been involved in the
production of ‘The Peace Child’. Six months of hard work and preparation reached
fruition yesterday with performances, and the pre-show nerves of all involved
disappeared as the euphoria of performing live is over. The production has been a
massive undertaking for all those involved, especially Mr Snelling and Mr Robinson,
with the end result being an outstanding production that has been enjoyed by all who
have witnessed it. Well done all.
Staffing changes
The following staffing changes will occur during Term3. Mr Snelling will be taking
well earned Long Service Leave for the first 6 weeks of Term 3. He will be replaced in
the Performing Arts program by Mrs Mayberry.
Mrs Turnbull has resigned from her position with the Department of Education,
effective as from the commencement of Term 3. I would like to thank her for her
efforts at Dalyellup Primary School and wish her well for the future. She will be
replaced in Room 6 for the remainder of the year by Mrs Jones.

STUDENT LEADERS—SEMESTER 1
SHORELINE PROJECT—INFORMATION SESSION
On Friday the 16th of June, Room 15 were lucky enough to have Anita Kelly from the Shorelines project, come and talk to us about the huge impact of rubbish on the Marine environment. Rubbish dropped at our school, ends up in the Dalyellup Lakes. Rubbish dropped anywhere else can wash into drains and end up in the ocean. Karen Taylor
This is the rubbish that the class picked up around Block 3 at Recess after Room 15 had finished their Talk with Anita!
My mother and I are currently making story book quilts for use in the library. There is nothing better than snuggling under a quilt while reading a good book. Three Dr Seuss quilts have been completed so far with many more other stories to come like the Three Little Pigs, Toy Story, Pokemon, Spot the Dog etc. Stay tuned for more wonderful quilts for library use.

STORYBOOK QUILTS BOOKWEEK
Next term we celebrate Book Week in Week 6. Dress up day and family picnic will be Friday 25 August. This year the theme is Escape to Everywhere. Children and staff will be encouraged to come to school dressed as their favourite book character. More information to follow.

The single biggest predictor of high
academic achievement and high ACT
scores is reading to children. Not flash
cards, not workbooks, not fancy
preschools, not blinking toys or computers,
but Mum or Dad taking the time every day
or night (or both!) to sit and read them
wonderful books.
