Dear Parents

Thanks to everyone involved in making our sports

carnival such a great happy day, all the parents who

made food, the canteen helpers, and event helpers.

Oxley won the day with participation and

championship points. Flinders achieved the most

participation points. It was great to see so many

students perform their personal best and the level of

encouragement and teamwork shown by all was

outstanding. Thanks to Mr Johnson for coordinating

the day and all staff for working tirelessly all day to

give our students maximum support. Thanks to Ritchie

for the constant effort providing a world class venue at

our schools backdoor.

The individual champion’s results will be announced

at this week’s mid-term assembly on Thursday at 2pm.

The SRC badges will also be presented to our 2016

SRC Committee.

On Saturday I had the

pleasure to attend the

Macksville-Scotts Head Surf

Club Awards. It was great to

see our Surf WAVES program

spoken about so highly. All the

Surf Club volunteers that

came along to help out were

presented with a Surf

Lifesaving jacket including Bu

Annie, who was recognised for her positive

contribution, coming in on her days off to make sure

the program achieved success. All staff received their

well-earned Bronze Medallions and Ricky Buchanan

was recognised for his 100% attendance at weekend

patrols. Thanks to Jason O’Donnell and the club for a

great night.

The WAVES program has been nominated for a

Regional Surfing Award, which Bu Annie will attend on

the 4th June at South West Rocks.

Congratulations to Finlay Lamont, Jamie Fox-Morrison,

Persia Raines and India Stephens who have been

selected to join other students from schools around

the Nambucca Valley to attend Leadership Training

together as a Nambucca Valley Community of Public

Schools (V10) group. As part of our commitment to

developing student leadership approximately 30

students will attend the Grip Leadership Training in

Coffs Harbour on Monday 30th May 2016. The Grip

Student Leadership Conference is unique in that it

concentrates specifically on training student leaders

for their role as SCHOOL LEADERS. The topics and

content of this conference all focus on what the

students can do RIGHT NOW. The goal of the

conference is that student leaders will gain a clear

vision, a solid understanding and dozens of ideas for

their time as leaders in their school. Thanks to Tonya

Worling (Stuarts Point PS) and Sara Landers (Medlow

PS) who will be looking after our students.

We want to make a washing area for the students to

be able to wash the vegetables when they are taken

from the garden so we are looking for any kind of

donation of sinks to make this a reality.

On Monday the mighty Scotts Head Whales

played their first match in the NSW Small

Schools Knockout Competition. Drawn at home

to Raleigh PS for the first round, the team

performed magnificently, running out 8-0

winners. The goals were scored by five different

players from three different school years.

Excellent performances were put in all over the

field with the team confidently passing the ball around in an impressive fashion. The team were cheered on by the vocal

support of the whole school. SHPS will now face the winner of Wooli versus Ulmarra in the second round (home/away

TBD). C’mon you Whales!

Last week the 3/4 class made butter as part of their study of changes in states

of matter. We shook cream in a jar for 1 minute intervals to observe the

changes from a liquid to a solid minute by minute. Once the cream (liquid) had

become butter (solid), we spread it onto raisin toast and it melted into a liquid

again. What do you think we did then?

Weekly round up

The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program

has begun at Scotts Head Public School. The

philosophy of the Kitchen Garden Program underpins

three concepts.

Pleasurable: It’s fun! Kitchen and garden learning stimulates the senses, keeping

students engaged and wanting more.

Food: It’s about healthy habits for life! Students learn to grow fresh fruit, vegetables and

herbs, and prepare delicious, nutritious, real food.

Education: It’s feeding hungry minds! Students dig into hands on experiences that are

linked to their academic learning.

Last Tuesday afternoon we kicked off with Kindergarten students cooking delicious

Spinach and Cheese Mini Quiches. We harvested the spinach from our school garden

and we collected eggs from the school’s chooks. On Wednesday afternoon, Year 1/2

were busy in the garden, weeding, watering, digging and planting a variety of winter

crops!

The program will be running on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons at 2.00pm. Cooking

classes will be on the Tuesday afternoon and gardening classes will be on the

Wednesday afternoon. Classes will be timetabled for these classes during the term.

Parent or community volunteers are really welcome to come along and join in the fun on

either day.

Spinach and Cheese Mini Quiche

We need

Spinach ½ cup of milk

2 cups of grated cheese 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry

4 eggs salt and black pepper

1 cup of cream

What we need to do

Step 1: Grease the muffin tin with butter. Cut out the puff pastry and line the muffin tin

with the pastry.

Step 2: Wash and chop up the spinach. Put the chopped up spinach in the muffin tin.

Step 3: Mix together the eggs, cream, milk, cheese, salt and pepper and whisk together.

Pour into muffin tin.

Step 4: Put muffin tins into oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 5: Get your delicious quiches out of the oven. Eat and enjoy!

Don’t forget the Gardening Working Bee this

Sunday 29th May from 9.30-11.00 to get stuck into

those beds so that they become functional food

producing gardens.
