School Vision:
At Chapman Valley Primary School children are nurtured, educated and challenged in a supportive and safe learning
environment. We use the best teaching and learning practices to develop balanced, capable and creative adults who value
achievement, motivation, life-long learning and pride in their school and community.
Dear Parents and Community,
Ni hao...hello in Chinese
Wow how the year has flown. I am in disbelief that I have now completed two years as Principal at Chapman Valley Primary School with these delightful students. It has been so exciting to see the students grow and progress. We have plenty more room for growth and progress and look forward to 2020.
2020
In 2020 our budget will be very tight. Our budget is determined by the number of students we have enrolled at our school. In 2020 our enrolment numbers are currently at 23. Our staffing and resourcing is all allocated out of the Student One Line budget. In 2020 our staffing at the moment is as follows:
Senior Class– Mrs Blanke 4 days, Mrs Patten 1 day
Junior Class– Mrs Griechen
DOTT release-Mrs Luxton/Mrs Hanrahan
Education Assistant-Mrs McCagh 3 days, Ms Haneveld 2 days
MCS-Deb Keeffe
Gardener– Jane Barndon
Cleaner– Dezi Webb
Library Officer-Dezi Webb
In Term two, 2020 I will be on long service. An acting Principal will come in for Term two.
We have to say our farewells to our school Chaplain today as she has taken up a new position which means she did not have time for our school in her schedule. We are interviewing a prospective Chaplain on Friday.
ONE ON ONE PARENT MEETINGS
Next Tuesday 17th December we will have one on one meetings. All parents who require an interview from their child’s report will have had an invitation by email with their allocated time. If you would like an interview please contact the school and we can certainly schedule one in for you.
NEW REGIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This year in the Midwest District we have had an acting RED, Steve Watson. He has been amazingly supportive of us in our small school. He has now returned to Perth to take up a position with Statewide Services. In 2020 our new acting RED will be Lisa Criddle. Lisa has recently acted in the RED position in the Wheatbelt, and is currently acting as the RED in the Goldfields Education Region. As the substantive Principal of Allendale Primary School, Lisa will bring to the role a great understanding of the regional context and community. TRADE OFF
Department of Education terms of employment for school staff provide the opportunity for staff to attend professional learning outside of their normal work hours and can then trade-off those hours on December 20, 2019. Staff at Chapman Valley PS have attended many professional learning opportunities outside of work hours and have traded-off those hours. The school office will be open until lunch time on Friday 20 December, 2019 if you need to contact us.
Thank you for your understanding.
Jo Luxton –Principal
Midwest Recognition Awards
TRASH AND TREASURE
Our “Trash and Treasure” event will be held on Friday the 13th of December at 2.00pm
Do you have some Trash or Treasure items you would like to donate to the school to sell at our Trash and Treasure event.
Please send in to the School office.
All items gratefully received.
All welcome to attend.
In the past years the Midwest Network has held Education Recognition of Excellence Awards and the recipient
and staff and school community attend a dinner to recognise the recipient. This year the Midwest Network has
made a decision to share our educational excellence with the broader community via the Midwest Times
newspaper. The recipient for Chapman Valley in 2019 was Mrs Kristy Blanke. You will be able to see the article
with Mrs Blanke in The Midwest Times in the near future.
Kristy is a dedicated teacher who teachers in our senior class which
encompasses years three to six. Kristy provides programmes to
cater for differing year levels and abilities in the one class. Kristy
contributes to all aspects of life in a small school. Kristy has been
instrumental getting staff engaged and in implementing the PBS
framework and has taken on the role of Internal Coach with our
staff for the first year of PBS in 2019. Kristy works collaboratively
with our team and with teachers from other small schools. Kristy is
to be congratulated on the professional attitude she displays as a
role model in our school.
ATTENDANCE
One of our targets in our Business Plan in our priority of “A Positive Learning Environment’ is to maintain or
improve the school attendance rate so that 90% or more of our students attend school for at least 90% of the
time. For weeks 7-9 of Term Four our whole school attendance is 93%. 20 students have 90% or better than
attendance. You will now get an automated text message if your child is absent and we have not had notification
of them being absent from school. However if your child is unwell and is not at school please notify the office of
any absences. The students do get an extra raindrop for Kindness when they attend 5 days of school in the week.
POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Our art teacher, Mrs Hanrahan who is an artist in
her other life has been doing up some different art
works for our PBS poster. This will be displayed
around our school to guide our instruction of
Behaviour expectations and to remind students
what the expectations are. It is on display at the
front of the school and we would love feedback on
the poster. If you have any feedback please email it
or come and write it on the whiteboard where the
poster is displayed. We would love you to come
and have a discussion with us about the elements
of the poster. The animals have specific meaning
and you can ask the Junior students to explain
more.

Mobile devices School Policy
Just a reminder that as part of a School

educational distraction at
school in students bags outside

not like them to get broken or

UPSIDE DOWN CHRISTMAS TREE
As a Chapman Valley Primary annual tradition, each child is asked to please bring to school a present
valued to approximately $5.00, suitable for an older lady or a gentleman: for example biscuits, powder,
chocolates.
These will be blessed and then presented to the Nazareth House residents on the Students’ End of Year
Excursion on Thursday 13th December. Community members are also welcome to drop off presents. If
the gift is for a special Nazareth House resident, please label with their name.
It would be fantastic if the presents could be sent into the office ASAP and labelled either ‘male’ or
‘female’ or ‘either’ if it is a gender neutral gift. This is a wonderful school tradition that teaches our
students the joy of giving and making someone's day special.

Term four has gone past in a whirl of Art activity! When we looked at Sally Morgan and her style of Indigenous Art a few
weeks ago, some students expressed a greater interest that prompted us to draw impromptu maps of Australia and add
line detail. Since then we have listened to and drawn a couple of tracks from classical music The Flight of the Bumble Bee
and Mrs Kookaburra. This art proved really helpful in encouraging students to listen and consider the stories being told,
and warm up their ‘Art thinking’. This week we have listened to the story of The Nutcracker. Students participated in a
instructed drawing activity and will complete their Nutcrackers next week”
