Independence – Resilience – Creativity – Excellence - Community

From the Principal, Paul Jude

Students have been putting the finishing touches to their artistic master-

pieces to be displayed at Thursday’s Arts Spectacular. The band is sound-

ing great and they are looking forward to performing for the school com-

munity. I’d like to acknowledge the efforts of the staff in pulling this

showcase together. In particular Darly Jones and Alison Mason who are

our Visual/Performing Arts teachers. They have both invested so much

into preparing for the evening and developing the artistic skills of the chil-

dren at Lenswood. Alison has also been busy preparing the 18 choir stu-

dents for their performance at the Festival Theatre this weekend. Well

done Alison. We wish the students all the very best for the show.

Our Parent/Carer survey is open until the end of the week. This can be

accessed online, via FlexiBuzz or via the hard copy that was sent out. All

feedback is anonymous. We hope you take the time to give us some con-

structive feedback, so we can plan accordingly for 2019.

As mentioned in newsletters this term, we have been discussing with the

children the attributes of an effective learner. Our current focus is effec-

tive learners cooperate with others, help others and share the air space.

This links well with one of my favourite books ‘The Seven Habits of Highly

Effective People’ by Stephen Covey. Covey’s 6th habit is Synergise. He

writes about combining the strengths of people through positive team-

work, so as to achieve goals that no one could have done alone.

Work will commence on Friday on replacing the old stone wall at the

front of the school. Work will continue through the holidays and hopeful-

ly be completed early term 4. This will cause considerable disruption to

the front entrances to the school and to school drop off/collection next

week and possibly week 1 next term. We encourage you to use the

Church driveway and for families to enter/exit the school via these stairs.

Please take extra care when driving through this narrow area and be

aware of pedestrians around you. We will keep you up to date via Flexi-

Buzz with any changes to these arrangements as the project progresses. I

thank you in advance for your patience and understanding through this

disruption.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of your child’s education, please email me at Paul.Jude460@schools.sa.edu.au or make an appointment through Julia for a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Kind Regard, Paul Jude

It is now a requirement for the Department for Education schools to have a general use adrenaline auto-injector (Epipen) so we can provide emergency medication to treat anaphylaxis. This is stored with our student medication in the staffroom. This is not a substitute for children who already have a prescribed Epipen. Students who have a health care plan still need to supply the school with an adrenaline autoin-jector (Epipen).

P&F News

Hi all

Well another term has flown by, not long now and another year will be over.

Unfortunately due to numbers we had to cancel our Table Tennis/Family Fun night but thankyou so much to those who replied and we apologise that we could not make this night go ahead. We will try to do something similar next year and hopefully find a time that suits everyone a bit better.

Once again we are holding a bbq at the Uraidla Show on Sunday, 4 November. Money raised this year

will go straight toward the upgrade of the school’s IT.

As we did last year, we will be allocating a time slot for each family to provide a volunteer to assist in run-ning the stall for the day. As you would be well aware, more hands make light work, and in this instance if we can get one volunteer from each school family to help out in some way then it wont all be left to a small hand full to run the entire weekend.

The Uraidla Show is our biggest fundraiser for the year and the huge benefit of this is that the money

raised is not coming from just the schools families like yourselves, but the greater community.

So, before the roster comes out early next term with your allocated time, we’d love to hear if you’d prefer an AM or PM shift. This way we can do our best to suit everyone. Please email Julia in the front office or alternatively message or call Lisa Golding on 0403 336 824 with you name, the name of the person volun-teering and their contact number before the last day of school holidays as we will be sending out the ros-ter in week 1 of term 4.

Thank you all so much for your support.

Naplan

Arts Spectacular

Students in years 3, 5 and 7 will bring home their 2018 NAPLAN results today. NAPLAN data provides in-formation to families and schools in relation to a student’s literacy and numeracy skills, measured against National Standards. Our staff will spend considerable time and effort analysing our school data as a vehi-cle to measure the progress of our students as year specific cohorts and individually in the areas as-sessed. The data will provide valuable information to inform explicit teaching and learning opportunities for your child at our school.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher if you wish to discuss this report and any implications for your child’s learning.
