Principal’s Report

P&C Committee Yesterday the P&C held their Annual General Meeting to

elect new office bearers of their committee. The new

committee is as follows:

Jaclyn Hill - President

Jillian Agius – Vice President

Sharlene Saville – Treasurer

Susan Bonham – Secretary

I am sure you will join me in congratulating these parents

and will support them throughout 2020.

I would like to thank the outgoing office bearers of the

2019 P&C committee (Kim Williams, Jaclyn Hill and

Sharlene Saville) and their P&C members who have

volunteered their time and effort, working hard to

ensure the year was a success. Your tireless efforts

supporting the school to help improve facilities and

resources are greatly appreciated.

GRIP Student Leadership Conference On Tuesday, our school leaders and some of our Inspire

Team, attended the GRIP Student Leadership

Conference, which was held at Quaycentre, Sydney

Olympic Park.

The conference was filled with fun and interactive

activities that explored the themes of Leaders are

Transformers and Making a Positive Change. Our students

also learned that being a student leader is not about the

position or badge, but about their personal qualities, their

actions and their integrity.

Throughout the day, our student leaders were

enthusiastic, engaged and displayed exemplary behaviour.

They represented our school with pride and I cannot wait

to see how they will use what they learned to make a

positive difference at our school.

My Thanks to Mrs Davies for organising this valuable

learning experience for our student leaders.

School Banking

Remember, Friday is School Banking day and students

should bring in their weekly deposit.

Zone Swimming On Friday last week Praharsha V from 4/5I proudly

represented Guise Public School at the Zone Swimming

Carnival, which was held at Macquarie Fields pool.

She competed in the 50m Freestyle event on the day and

came 2nd in her heat and placed 9th overall, which is a

fantastic achievement.

Congratulations Praharsha, we are all very proud of you on

your wonderful effort.

Clean Up Australia Day This week Guise PS and many other schools across

Australia have made a real difference to their

environment through participating in a Schools Clean Up

through the annual Clean Up Australia Day and clearing

our school grounds of any rubbish.

Schools Clean Up Day is a fun and engaging way to teach

young Australians about the responsible disposal of

rubbish, resource recovery and the repercussions of

rubbish dumped irresponsibly in the local environment.

Many thanks to Mrs Hanney who coordinated and planned

for this very important event.

Fruit Break Fruit Break is a set time at Guise PS for students to

‘refuel’ on vegetables, salad and fruit and ‘rehydrate’ with

water. Research shows that students who are not hungry

and are well hydrated perform better in the classroom,

show increased concentration, and are less likely to be

irritable and more focused.

Please remember to send your child to school with a water

bottle and some fresh fruit or vegetables so they can

participate in Fruit Break each day in the classroom.

Pre-Kinder Our Pre-Kinder program will be running again this year for

children who will be starting school next year. During the

sessions children can learn essential pre-kindergarten

skills in a fun and interactive setting whilst socialising

with their peers and becoming familiar with the BIG

school environment. Look out for the flyer in next

fortnight’s newsletter with all information. Enquiries

about the program are welcomed at the front office.

Staff Professional Learning Staff will be involved in two separate 3 hour

afternoon/evening professional learning sessions this

year. The focus of the first professional learning session

this term will be updating our mandatory face to face CPR

and Anaphylaxis training. The second session in Term 2

will be professional learning on phonics and spelling. These

two afternoons will be in place of the last School

Development Day that is scheduled at the end of Term 4.

Have a wonderful fortnight!
