BULLYING BEHAVIOURS

During the course of the year the topic of Bullying behaviours often resurfaces. The last couple of weeks there have been several incidents that have involved bullying.

Please note that Bullying will not be tolerated in any form. Strong consequences will be applied including Yellow Room lunch time detention and suspension. All students have the fundamental right to feel safe and happy while at school and to be treated with dignity and respect. It is very important for students who feel they are being bullied to tell someone and believe that their concerns are being taken seriously.

We need to identify the bullies and ensure that bullying behaviours are eradicated. Class teachers, teachers on playground duty, Grade supervisors and myself need to beware of bullying if it is occurring in our playground.

SCHOOL DEBATING SUCCESS!

Last Thursday our school had their first official Debate against Tarrawanna Public School. Our team for this debate consisted of Lani, Janai, Melinda and Noah. Our team debated superbly and were adjudged clear cut winners. The Principal of Russell Vale PS was the judge and he spoke very positively about the skills demonstrated by our team.

Congratulations to the team and also to Mr Davies, the team co-ordinator. A special thank you to Mrs Rzeminski for her help with transporting the team to and from the venue.

SCHOOL SOCCER

Last week our girls played Gerringong PS in Round 4 of the State Girls soccer Knockout at Corrimal High School. Unfortunately our girls were defeated 7 – 0 against a very committed opposition.

Never-the-less this was an outstanding result by our team to progress so far in this very competitive competition. Well Done to all girls in this team, Mr Privett for his hard work and to the many parents who have supported this team.

A special thank you to Corrimal High School for the use of their oval and students who refereed the games.

SCHOOL ORACY COMPETITION

During the past 4 weeks students K – 6 have been presenting Oracy talks in class. Next week teachers will be asked to nominate 2 representatives from each class. Extra students may be nominated from cross grade or cross stage classes.

These students will then compete against students from other classes of the same grade. All class winners will receive a certificate on the day. Overall grade winners K – 6 will receive an Oracy trophy during our End of year Presentation Day.

Parents of students who have been nominated to represent their class will receive an invitation to watch their child participate in the Grade Finals.

Grade Finals will take place on Thursday 3^rd September.

Times are as follows:

K – 2: 10.00 – 11.00

3 – 6: 11.30 – 1.00

NATIONAL LITERACY and NUMERACY WEEK

Week 6 also heralds National Literacy and Numeracy Week. Our school will be incorporating Book Week activities with our Oracy finals in recognition of this important week. The outline for this week is as follows:

Monday: Cartoonist visit.

Wednesday: Story Telling – various members of our school community will be sharing favourite stories with our students.

Thursday: Oracy Finals – K – 6 – (to start straight after scripture).

Thank you to Mrs Bland for her excellent coordination of the Book week activities.

GALA DAY – SEPTEMBER 25 - CANTEEN

We are looking for someone to co-ordinate the BBQ / Canteen stall at the next Brokers District PSSA Gala Day to be held at Dalton Park, Fairy Meadow on Friday 25^th Sept. We will also need several helpers. If you are interested in being the co-ordinator and / or a volunteer, please leave your name at the office by Friday 28th August.

FLASHING LIGHTS ON PIONEER ROAD
Last week the RTA informed me that flashing 40km zone lights will be installed outside our school on Pioneer Road. The installation of these flashing lights will occur some time between September and December this year. This news was gratefully received as our school is not easily seen from Pioneer Road and these signs will certainly help protect our students.

CHORAL FESTIVAL
Last week our school participated in the Choral Festival and performed brilliantly! Both the Senior and Junior Choirs made all of the teachers and parents, who were present on the night, justifiably proud. Well Done Boys and Girls!
Again a special thank you to Mrs Murphy, Mr Chapman, Mrs Willigers and Mrs Chapman for their outstanding management and coordination of this event.

GIRLS SOCCER
Our girls state knockout team will play their next match against Gerringong Public School at Corrimal High School tomorrow. This match will start at 1pm. Good Luck to our girls!


TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Last Tuesday each stage met and discussed assessment tasks and formulated an Assessment timeline which will help collate data which in turn will be used as a basis for Semester Two reports. This week our stages will again meet to formalize data ready to be transferred onto our whole school tracking sheets.

SMOKE FREE CARS
A reminder that it is now against the law to smoke in a car with a child under the age of 16. Children are particularly susceptible to the negative health effects of passive smoking. Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke by children can lead to an increased risk of asthma, lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis, coughing and wheezing. A $250 on the spot fine applies to the driver and any passenger who breaks the law and this will be enforced by NSW Police. More information including fact sheets in community languages is available at: www.health.nsw.gov.au/publichealth/healthpromotion/tobacco/smoke_free_cars.asp For support to stop smoking call the Quit Line on: 13 78 48.

SNAP HAPPY
With digital cameras, it’s now so easy to share photos with family and friends online. But how do you control where they end up and how can you remove material once it’s out there?
The latest issue of Click, the department’s guide to technology for parents, has some great advice on keeping your family’s photos safe from prying eyes and some simple ways you can ensure the privacy of people in the photos, especially children.

NEW FENCE
Our fence is one week old and so far, new processes seem to be working well. A sign has been placed on each gate to remind community members about times when the gates will be closed. Please note, the Duff Parade entrance is now the only entry to the school during school hours. The Pioneer Road gate will be open in the morning until 9.30am where upon it will be closed. This gate will reopen at 2.30pm and again be closed at about 3.20pm.

CHORAL FESTIVAL
This week our school will perform in the Choral Festival at Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul. Both our Junior and Senior Choir will be performing at this prestigious Music Festival. Our date for performing is Wednesday 12th August. Tickets for the concert are available through the school. Order forms have been sent home. I hope to see you at Anita’s Theatre on Wednesday night!

GIRLS SOCCER SUCCESS
Congratulations to our Girls Soccer team again who now progress to Round 4 in the State knockout with another hard fought 1 – 0 win over Mt Kembla Public School. Well done Mr Privett and to all of the girls in the team.

BROKERS ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
Last Monday, 65 children from Corrimal East Public School competed at the Brokers District Athletics meet at Kerryn McCann Athletics Field in Wollongong. We came second overall and had many children who won their event or took a place. Ribbons will be presented this week when time permits. Mikayla H was the 11yrs Girl Champion. Well done and congratulations to all competitors. The Area Carnival will be on 17th September at Canberra.
Mr Privett, Mr Vorobieff and Mr Balango

GOLF LESSONS
There have been a number of families who expressed an interest in their child participating in Golf lessons. These lessons started last Friday in our school grounds after school. Simon Bergner is the golf coach and he is a golf coach who is based at Russell Vale Golf Course. There are limited spaces available for anybody who would like their child to be coached in the popular sport of Golf.
If you are interested contact our front office or meet with Simon yourself on Friday here at school.

TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Last week our staff professional development theme was in the area of Reading. As Literacy and Numeracy are focal targets for our school there will be a continual up-skilling and development during Term 3.

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
Mini Movies
Our project for the Illawarra South East Region Mini Movies Festival began last week, with a group of Stage 3 student’s story boarding “Corrimal East News”. This project is due for completion in Week 8 and will be shown to the whole school at the end of term. It will be the first of more student video productions at our school.
Software for Home
Often I’m asked by parents about the software we use at school and if any of it could be used at home. A couple of very good software titles, ideal for school projects are:
Comic Life (Mac OS X & Windows) - http://plasq.com/comiclife
Art Rage (Mac OS X & Windows) - http://www.artrage.com
Headphones at School
Students are encouraged to bring a small set of headphones to school for use with the computers. Often there are tasks, such as making podcasts in Garage Band or recording in Kid Pix, where these are very useful.

NEW FENCE

Last Friday I had a meeting and inspection of works completed with both the contractor and the Department of Commerce.
I was personally delighted with the quality and efficiency of the work completed.

Times that the school gates will be locked are as follows:

Pioneer Road gates
7.45am – gates are opened.
9.30am – gates are locked.
2.30pm – gates are opened.
3.20pm – gates are locked.

Duff Parade gates
7.45am – gates are opened
3.30pm – gates are locked.
Please note the Duff Parade gates are the central access for our school during the school day.

Community members who need access to the school after school hours may contact our front office and a gate key can be made available.

If you have any concerns regarding these arrangements please do not hesitate in contacting me.

CHORAL FESTIVAL

This week the Choral Festival commences at Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul.
Both our Junior and Senior Choir will be performing at this prestigious Music Festival. Our date for performing is Wednesday 12th August.
There has been a lot of hard work preparing for this event and it would be amiss of me not to congratulate the fantastic effort and commitment our students have demonstrated.
Also very special thanks to Mrs Murphy, Mr Chapman, Mrs Chapman and Mrs Willigers for their outstanding organisation and countless hours spent coordinating and preparing for this event.
Thank you for your terrific commitment and providing a unique opportunity for students at Corrimal East Public School.

HUMAN SWINE FLU INFORMATION

This year it is likely many more people will come down with flu‐like illnesses than in recent flu seasons because few people have immunity to the human swine flu virus.

As the number of cases of flu increases, we all need to take steps to minimise the transmission of the virus in school communities as some staff and students are at greater risk of severe illness from flu.

Staff or students who become unwell should stay away from school until they are well to minimise the transmission of the flu.

Any student who identifies that they are unwell, or is displaying flu‐like symptoms at school will be sent to a sick‐bay area and their parent or carer will be called to take them home.

Please watch carefully for any signs or symptoms of flu‐like illness in your child. If they are unwell please do not send them to school until their symptoms have gone.

These symptoms include fever, cough, tiredness, muscle aches, sore throat, chills or shortness of breath.

Some people are more likely to develop severe illness from both seasonal influenza and swine flu. NSW Health advises that this group includes people who:
Are pregnant (particularly in the second and third trimester)
symptoms of flu appear because you may need anti-influenza medication and it works best if you have chronic lung disease (including asthma)
Are very obese
Have chronic heart conditions
Have chronic kidney disease
Have chronic liver disease
Have blood disorders (including sickle cell disease)
Have neurological disorders
Have metabolic disorders (such as diabetes)
Have weakened or suppressed immune systems (which may be caused by cancers, medications or HIV/AIDS)
Are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background (of any age).

If you or your child is in one of these categories, please seek urgent medical attention.

The department has policies in place to support schools this flu season. I can assure you that the department will continue to act on all advice received from NSW Health to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and students.
Additional health information is available from the H1N1 Influenza 09 section of the NSW Health website at: http://www.emergency.health.nsw.gov.au/swineflu/index.asp

GIRLS SOCCER SUCCESS
Congratulations to our Girls Soccer team who now progress to Round 3 in the State Knockout with a hard fought 1 – 0 win over Balgownie. Well done Mr Privett and to all of the girls in the team.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS GONZAGA
There has been significant research highlighting that Teacher quality has the greatest impact on student learning. Having said that, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Mrs Gonzaga has been nominated by the School Community for the ASG Inspirational Teaching Awards. A fantastic achievement. Well done Mrs Gonzaga.

TENNIS LESSONS
Due to private reasons, Mrs Davies will be unable to teach tennis lessons today. If your child should have had a lesson at lunchtime today could they please come prepared for it tomorrow (Tuesday) lunchtime and those who would have had a lesson this afternoon, please come prepared for it tomorrow afternoon.

EXCURSION TO POWERHOUSE MUSEUM K – 2

A BIG THANK YOU:

The excursion to the Powerhouse Museum on Monday was an extremely successful day. This was due to the wonderful group of thirty three parents who gave up their time to help us out at the museum. We were able to split the children up into smaller groups, which meant it was far easier to manouvre ourselves around the museum and the children got so much more out of the experience.

Now for the Honor roll:

Donna Cairney, Marnie Chadburn, Sheree Ruddock, Katie Lawler, Karen Edwards, Joanne Brain, Nicole Allman, Catherine Campbell, Belinda Stevens, Renee Scifleet, Linda Friend, Debbie Sweeny, Melody Mayfield, Leisa Hellstedt, Vicki Josephson, Craig St George, Bronwyne Brown, Rochelle Banning, Bronwyn Lee, Melissa Nichols, Cindy Sepple, Sheree Leeson, Linda Trebel, Rebecca Bosseler, Kylie Cutler, Samantha Katsoulas, Natalie De-Clouett, Rochelle Noble, Karyn Truman, Jane Donnellan, René Giblett, Joanne Harle, Sarah Carden and Martin Hookey.

REPORTS

Reports will be going home this Friday. These reports are a summative evaluation of your child’s progress over the course of Semester 1.

Reports should contain a valuable insight of progress attained in the major key learning areas and future areas for development.

Parent – Teacher interviews will take place on Tuesday 7^th July. Interview booking notes have been sent home and I encourage every parent to avail themselves of this opportunity of having an interview with your child’s teacher.

The Parent – Teacher interview provides a perfect complement to the school report and also provides you with an opportunity to discuss any areas about your child’s learning in which you may be unsure.

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORTS

Each year as part of the school’s evaluation process an Annual School Report is formulated which provides a snapshot of the school’s progress in the areas of arts, sports and academia.

School Targets for 2009 are listed with a list of strategic tools which clearly set how we intend to achieve our targets.

Indicators of success are also listed.

Copies of this important document are accessed at the front office and are available on request.

EXEMPTION FROM SCHOOL FORMS

Our HSLO officer, Kerry Coleman, has been to the school recently and has examined our school absences. Part of her role is to monitor student’s absences and flag any major concerns with me.

Kerry has asked me to remind any parents who are taking their children out of the school during the school term for a vacation, if the period exceeds 15 days, an exemption from school form needs to be completed.

These forms are available from the front office.

CHORAL FESTIVAL

Choral Festival draws closer as our staff and student’s hard work will soon come to fruition. We had a cluster practice last Tuesday and the results were amazing. The rehearsal certainly showed great promise and I can’t wait for our performances on the night.

Our school has been scheduled to perform on Wednesday 12^th August at Anita’s in Thirroul.

A special thank you to Mrs Murphy, Mr Chapman, Mrs Willigers and Mrs Chapman for their outstanding efforts with the preparation for these performances.

THANK YOU TO OUR OFFICE STAFF

I would like to again acknowledge the outstanding quality that Wendy Dowling and Olwen Jordan provide in the front office.

During times of high stress and activity around the school they consistently work in a friendly fashion coping with the huge amounts of work requests they are confronted with on a daily basis.

Thank you Wendy and Olwen for your terrific efforts, it’s what helps make Corrimal East Public School a great school!

Peer Support

In this week’s Peer Support session the children will be exploring how to join groups and how to accept others into their friendship group. The activities will give the children a chance to practice these skills, as well as how to say no in a respectful way, cope with being told no and inviting others to join them.

Encourage your child to discuss with you the importance of saying no to people in a respectful way so that they don’t lose friends. Also discuss with your child various options they have at school if they should find themselves without anyone to play with during break time.

An interview sheet will be sent home this week allowing parents the opportunity to schedule a meeting with your child’s class teacher.

WET WEATHER

Due to the great amount of rainfall we have experienced over the past month many planned sporting events have had to be rescheduled.

The Brokers Athletics Carnival was postponed today due to the rain and will be rescheduled later this term.

We have attempted to play several knockout games in soccer and rugby league, however, inclement weather again has proved to be a foe.

All I can do is emphasise to have patience, the games will take place in the near future.

MUSIC BUS

From my perspective the Music Bus groups appears to be running smoothly. If there are any concerns regarding this program (timetabling,etc), please contact Fiona from the Music Bus or you may talk to me at school.
