Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to term three. As usual this will prove to be a busy term with lots of things happening to enhance the learning for our students. I trust that everyone had a good two week break and we are all keen to get things moving along. From my class visits on Monday it was evident that the students had settled straight back into the swing of things as is expected here at Fulham North Primary School.

CROWS VISIT The Adelaide Football club will be visiting this Friday to deliver their Growing with Gratitude Program. The program talks about 5 habits of happiness and fits very well into our Positive Education curriculum. The whole school will be involved in the program during the assembly before recess and all classes from R – 2 will be involved in a coaching clinic after recess which includes, kicking, tackle bag and relay games. Claude the Crow will also make a guest appearance.

GLUTEN FREE MENU Our canteen manager, Mary has been working on adding Gluten free items to our canteen menu. A number of items

will shortly be available for those families who need to follow a Gluten free diet. This is another positive addition from our canteen which aims to provide a variety of choices for families. NAPLAN ONLINE TRIAL In weeks four and five of this term our students in years 3/5 and 7 will be participating in a NAPLAN online trial. All schools in SA will be taking part in the trial which is aimed at testing the capacity of school systems to cope with the load. The tests are purely for trial purposes only and will not actually be submitted for marking. The long term plan is for NAPALN to go online in 2017. ACTING PRINCIPAL As you are all aware I will be taking on the role of Principal of Coober Pedy Area School from next week. Russell Barwell will be taking on the Principal role here and I am very confident in his ability to successfully lead Fulham North and continue the great work that is happening here. I am sure that you will support Russell in his new role. We

are also pleased to announce that Kristian Rawlings will be taking on the role of Deputy Principal for Term 3. AUSSIES WATCH OUT FOR MOZZIES Australia’s Chief Medical Officer has issued an important warning to those travelling to Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympics – that travellers MUST protect themselves from mosquitoes. Brazil is experiencing a Zika virus outbreak in addition to the presence of yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya. These dangerous viruses are spread by mosquitoes, and Zika can also be sexually transmitted. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are particularly at risk, especially from Zika, which can lead to severe birth defects such as microcephaly. These women are advised to defer their travel. If you must travel then you should see your doctor for further advice. Travellers can help protect themselves from yellow fever by getting vaccinated at least 10 days before arriving in Brazil. However, there are no vaccines for Zika, dengue or chikungunya. Your best defence against these viruses is to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, including protective clothing and heavy duty mosquito repellent. For more information on mosquito-borne illnesses and travel to the 2016 Olympics, visit www.health.gov.au/rio2016 PARKING I have received a number of complaints of late from local residents who are being inconvenienced by parents who are not being considerate when parking their cars at pick up and drop off time. Some parents are blocking driveways and preventing residents from accessing their property. Parents are also parking in front of residents bins in the mornings, which means the full bins are not being emptied, due to lack of access. As you can imagine all of these scenarios are very irritating to the local residents. I have also noticed parents parking in the bus zones on Cheadle street. Please be aware of your responsibilities as a driver and ensure that you park correctly and legally when picking up your children. It is important to note that the Charles Sturt Council make regular patrols in our area and parking illegally attracts a $73 fine. FAREWELL I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your support in my time as Principal and for the good wishes in my new temporary role. I also want to assure you that I will be back as Principal for the 2017 school year. I will also be taking a keen interest in how the school is going and will be involved in the planning and set up for next year. Kind regards, Steve Marshall

NEWS FROM MR RAWLINGS A big FNPS congratulations to Magali Victor. Over the last few days in the school holidays, she competed in the State SC Championships. Magali competed in 8 individual events for a tally of 1 silver and 7 gold medals, meaning she is the State Champion in her age group. In one of those events, 50 free, she broke the State and Australian All Comers Record in an amazing time of 28.99sec. In the relays she won another two golds, including another State record! Well done Magali.

AUSTRALIAN KENPO KARATE Discipline / Self Defence / Respect

WEDNESDAY’S 6 - 6:45pm At Fulham North Primary School ‘Hall / Gym’

North Street entrance - Ages 5 to adult -

For more information & bookings call Mandy please text or Ph : 0417 805 063

Email : linkemartialarts@bigpond.com Damion and Mandy Linke have built their Karate classes into a well known martial arts club for all in the Barossa area and are now starting out in the Adelaide region. Our goal has always been to create a programme of self defence for both children and adults. Safety is the key issue! Our students will learn to face any person anywhere without the fear of being physically hurt or embarrassed as well as how to avoid being hit! Self confidence, concentration, Improved co-ordination and most of all respect are a big focus. We concentrate a lot on discipline as well as having fun. Under no circumstances do we encourage our students to use what we teach them outside of our class unless they fear for their safety. We believe in today’s society this type of foundation is necessary especially for children so that they can grow up to become responsible adults.

Every dollar spent at Westfield West Lakes goes towards helping Fulham North Primary School win a share in

$10,000 worth of educational prizes. MON 1 AUGUST – FRI 9 SEPTEMBER
