Principal’s Report Kindy Club Congratulations to our 2020 Kindergarten students who have enthusiastically engaged in Kindy Club over the past four weeks. The teachers and staff at Redhead Public School are looking forward to learning and growing together in the year ahead.

Leadership Interviews Mrs Schofield, Mrs Sturgeon and I had the pleasure of interviewing the candidates for the 2020 Leadership Team last week. We were very impressed with the planning that all of the students put into their letters and the interview process. Our students and staff have a very difficult task ahead of them as the 21 candidates present their speeches next week and voting takes place. Exemplary manners, responsibility, confidence and dedication to our school values of ‘Respect, Inspire and Succeed’ were common themes present amongst all of the candidates. Best wishes to our candidates for the next step in the election process.

High Potential and Gifted Education Policy Our executive team have been fortunate enough to engage in professional learning around the new Department of Education policy for High Potential and Gifted Education. This is a very exciting educational reform which will have a positive impact on all of our students and the future of education as a whole. The policy defines clear processes, expectations and guidelines for schools to provide optimal learning environments where all students are challenged and engaged to achieve their educational potential. We are very motivated and inspired to be at the forefront of this educational journey.

Dear CU Children and Families,

I would like to write a letter of thanks and congratulations to all students that attended the recent Children’s University graduation ceremonies. This year we welcomed onto campus 1500 graduating students and over 4,000 families across the six evenings.

The CU team would like to congratulate all students for their behaviour and enthusiasm shown throughout the evening. We planned for these evenings to be a celebration and recognition of the effort and time you have placed into all the learning opportunities throughout the year.

Thank you to all families that attended. We appreciate your presence on the evening, hope you enjoyed the celebration, and look forward to seeing you all again in the future.

Children’s University continues to encourage children and their families to keep learning in their communities during the Christmas holiday period. All learning experiences that occur between now and Term 1 next year are added into the hours for 2020 Graduation. Please place a line in your passports to indicate that 2019 hours are finalised.

Our FACEBOOK page lists events over school holidays. Children’s University Australasia (Newcastle)

Your passport hours continue across into next year. To be eligible for graduation in 2020 you need to have moved up into the next award category. For example, if you got 30 hours this year you would have to make it to 65 hours to get the Silver Award.

This program is an annual commitment. Children have the capacity to opt into the program each year. If you would like to be involved next year, please indicate this to your teacher in charge of the program.

Once again thank you, children for your enthusiasm for learning and parents for your support. If you or your family has any questions about the program, please contact us. If you would like to make suggestions for improvements or place a comment regarding the evening please do so at [email protected] or call 49218739. Hope to see you all in 2020.
