ROBERTSON STATE SCHOOL

Principal’s Update By Ms Margaret Berry

VISIT TO JIANGSU SISTER SCHOOL Next week I will be visiting our sister school Jiefang Road Primary School Zhenjiang in the Jiangsu Province, China, to negotiate a sister school

agreement and meet members of the school community. The Languages Other Than English (LOTE) and International Programs committee have been preparing for this intercultural exchange for several years. Last year we hosted Principals from Jiangsu Province and have since worked with Education Queensland International to progress this sister school arrangement. The primary school is located in Zhenjiang and has a similar school enrolment population to Robertson. Zhenjiang is a city with approximately 3 million people. I will share more details about our sister school on my return.

WELLERS HILL BILINGUAL PROGRAM Last week the Administration Team and the LOTE and International Programs team visited Wellers Hill State School to view their bilingual Japanese Language program. This language program has just been recognised as finalists in the

Education Queensland Showcase awards and I would like to pay tribute to Principal John Webster and Deputy, Louise Hart, and all the school staff for the amazing language learning that is occurring in P - 3

years. The bilingual program will move progressively through to Year 6. At Robertson we now have 30 minute lessons of LOTE Mandarin being taught from P - 6 and we are currently investigating other models of language teaching in our school. I would like to thank our LOTE and International Programs team: Kama Zhang, Joy Hsieh, Joy Wang, Cathy Coleman and Geri Kallioinen for their work. To prepare our students for a global interconnected world, being fluent in more than one language is a preferred workplace skill.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT AGENDA – READING AND SYNTHETIC PHONICS At the beginning of the year Synthetic Phonics was introduced to Prep classes at Robertson to have a

consistent approach to teaching phonics and to set a sound basis for early reading skills. Master Teacher, Tracey Leong, has been the key teacher leading the introduction of this program with Prep teachers. The program presents sounds and blends

at a faster pace and works on decoding. To date we have seen a very pleasing improvement in the confidence of Prep students with their phonics and subsequent improvements in early reading skills. The Synthetic Phonics program has progressively been introduced to Year 1 and Year 2. I would like to recognise the work of Tracey Leong, Deputy Principal, Cartia Balladone and the Prep teachers and teacher aides for their work with reading.

CONGRATULATIONS STRING ENSEMBLES Four of our string ensembles performed at the Goodna Jacaranda Festival last weekend. Not only did the groups receive three gold and one silver award, but the Paganinis also won the ‘overall best ensemble performance’ award from the participating groups of both high schools and primary schools. Well done to Mrs Gray and all of the students in our string ensembles. (More details in Deputy’s news)

JACARANDA FESTIVAL

CELEBRATIONS

Congratulations to Mrs Robyn

Gray for the outstanding results

of our Corelli, Mini Mozart,

Paganini and Vivaldi Orchestras. Each of the groups performed at

the Jacaranda Festival with

Robertson achieving three gold

and one silver award.

The competition involved primary

and high schools students

performing in various levels of

competitions over the day. All

entries were judged within their

categories and also considered for the overall perpetual trophy. The

perpetual trophy was awarded to

the performance which was

considered the most outstanding

on the day.

It was exciting news to find out

the Robertson Paganini

performance was awarded the

perpetual trophy for 2017. Our

students were compared to the high school performances and

considered exceptional. Well

done!

Thank you to all the parents for supporting this competition.

Many thanks to Ms Vanderbyl

and Mrs Waldie for their support

on the day and leadership in the

Music department at Robertson.

SUPPORTING READING IN OUR

COMMUNITY

Can you assist in the donation of

reading books?

We are currently assisting

Crestmead State School with

their ‘Books in Homes Project’.

If you have second hand books at

home that your children have out

grown or no longer read, please

send them to school. They will be

sent to Crestmead and donated to their families in Term 4.

The books can include hardcover

books for toddlers or younger

readers, picture books or chapter

books, Encyclopaedias or damaged books would not be

donated. Thank you for sharing

your love of reading with our

community and thank you for

extending that love to another community in need.

Bring your books to the office for

collection.

LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM

PREP - YEAR 3

Final payments for the swimming program are coming in, thank

you to our families for getting

these updated. The closing date

for money collection will be

Friday 11 November. Payment

can be made online or at the administration.

If your child is not a strong

swimmer this will be a perfect

program for them to participate in as the lessons are structured at

their ability levels. Alternatively,

if your child is a confident

swimmer they will have an

opportunity to work with other

skilled swimmers and instructors on their techniques around the

pool.

If you have any questions please

contact the classroom teacher or our office.

Deputy News Year 4 to Year 6 By Mrs Jennifer Johnson STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Next week we will begin to speak

with students about the next step

in the process towards gaining a

leadership position for next year. Shortlisted School Captain and

School-Vice Captain applicants

will be asked to prepare a speech

to give their fellow students and

teachers. Voting will commence

after that.

WRITING

We have been working hard to

measure the improvement we are

making in teaching and learning in writing. The teachers are

pretesting students at the

beginning of the term to

determine the specific learning

needs of the students in their

classes. At the conclusion of the term, they are assessing to check

how well the students have learnt

the concepts they have taught.

We are making some very

pleasing growth in all areas of the 6 Traits of Writing.

Congratulations to the teachers

for the effort they are putting in

to differentiate for their students.

YEAR 6 GRADUATION Our final celebration for the Year

6 students and teachers will be

on Monday 5 December at the

graduation. It is being held in the

hall. We will be serving refreshments at 5:00pm for a

5:30pm start to the ceremony. A

letter will soon be sent out to the

parents of Year 5 asking for

volunteers to assist with the set

up for the night. We would appreciate your help if you could

make time for us.

VISIT TO JIANGSU SISTER SCHOOL 訪問江蘇姐妹學校

下週，本人將會去中國江蘇訪問我們的姐妹學校——

江蘇解放路小學，屆時將會商議關於姐妹學校的協議，并同學校相關領導成員會面。LOTE項目組和國際項目委員會已經為這項國際文化交流準備

了很多年了。去年，我們接待了江蘇省的校長們，并協同昆士蘭國際教育部一起推進了此項姐妹學校議程。這所姐妹學校位於江蘇鎮江，鎮江這個

城市的人口約為300萬。而我們姐妹學校的在校學生人數和Robertson相似。待本人回來的時候，將會帶回更多關於姐妹學校的信息。

上個星期，學校行政、LOTE項目成員和國際交流項目組一同訪問了Wellers

Hill學校，交流并了解他們的雙語（日語）項目。這個語言項目已入圍昆士蘭教育部展示獎，在此本人向John Webster校長、副校長Louise

Hart和所有學校員工從prep到3年級所貫徹的出色語言學習致敬，他們的雙語項目接下來將會逐步推進，一直貫徹實施至6年級。

現在，在Robertson的學前班到6年級，我們均有30分鐘的LOTE中文課，我們目前也在研究其他的語言教學模式。在此，本人想要對為學校的LOT

E項目和國際交流項目付出努力的老師們致謝：Kama Zhang, Joy Hsieh, Joy Wang, Cathy Coleman和Geri

Kallioinen。要讓我們的學生為踏入這個全球互聯的世界做好準備，流利掌握一門以上的語言是一項首選的職場技能。

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT AGENDA – READING AND SYNTHETIC PHONICS 學校推進議事日程 —— 閱讀和復合語音拼讀

今年初，Robertson在學前班班級開設了復合語音拼讀課程，提升了我們一貫的語音教學方法，為早期閱讀技能的培養打下良好的語音基礎。Mast

er Teacher, Tracey

Leong是這語音教學項目的負責老師，她會向Prep的老師們介紹并繼續推進這個項目。這個課程項目致力於語音的解碼，呈現了發音和更快速度的

發音組合。目前，我們非常欣喜地發現，我們Prep的學生在語音和早期閱讀技能上有了很大的自信和持續的進步。接下來，這項復合語音拼讀項目

將進一步推廣到一年級和二年級。在此，本人對致力於這項課程的老師們給予辛勤工作的認可：Tracey Leong, 副校長 Cartia

Balladone，Prep老師們和一起幫助推進課程的Teacher aides。

Aims of You Can Do It! Education

本學期關注的重點是“自信心”。

自信的想法：一個差勁的成績等級不會使我成為失敗者；犯錯是沒關係的；我不會苦惱，因我已經盡了能力；是的，我要去做。

自信表示：感到我可以做得到；不怕犯錯，願意嘗試新事物；挺立而清晰地說話（聲量適中）

例子：

舉手回答困難的問題

處理困難工作時不要求別人幫忙

跟老師和同學分享新構想

跟陌生人打招呼和說話
