Our group leaders attended the conference in Goulburn on Monday. The GRIP Student Leadership Conference is unique in that it concentrates specifically on training student leaders for their role as SCHOOL LEADERS. The style, topics, and content of this conference all focus on what the students can do RIGHT NOW.

The goal is that student leaders would leave the conference with a clear vision, a solid understanding and dozens of ideas for their time as a leader.

Principal’s Report

Yaama

It was great to see so many parents and students attend our Personalised

Learning Pathways interviews last Tuesday. These interviews are an important

step in teachers, students and their families getting to know each other. The

PLP’s that were completed during these interviews will be used to guide

teachers programs as well as help students set goals they can work towards. If

you did not have a chance to meet with your child’s teacher, please make an

appointment to do so. A small exit survey was conducted on the night but we

would love to hear some feedback from families around the process.

This week saw the start of the Premiers Reading Challenge. Teachers will be

discussing this with students in class and encouraging students to take part in

the challenge. K-2 students will be completing the challenge in class with 3-6

students encouraged to take on the challenge independently. If you would like

more information about the challenge and how you can help facilitate your

child’s success in it, please contact your child’s teacher.

Some lucky students got to share lunch with Mr GB on Monday as part of our

Berinba Bucks rewards. Each week a new value is being discussed across the

school that teachers will be looking for in the playground. Students who are

seen demonstrating the chosen value will be given a Berinba Buck to write

their name and class on. Each Friday the number of Berinba Bucks is tallied in

each class and contributes to both a class reward as well as an end of year

whole school reward. All students who have collected a Berinba Buck for the

week will also go in to a weekly draw that is drawn each Friday at Assembly.

Students who are drawn out are rewarded with a variety of rewards that

change each week. Some of the rewards so far have been Bubble Blasters, free

slushies from the canteen and lunch with Mr GB. I wonder what our prize will

be this week??
