Family Arts Night – Thursday 5 September

We spoke about the Family Arts Night, with the students, at assembly on Monday. We reminded students that there will be many aspects of ‘The Arts’ on display for families to enjoy, so please consider coming along!

P&C have organised a sushi dinner for families to pre-purchase (closed Monday), with cold drinks (wine/beer for the adults) available on the evening. If you have missed the ordering, or would prefer a different food option, please bring along your own dinner options. There will be some tables set up in the CSA for dining, or you are welcome to bring a picnic blanket to set up. Our students have been reminded NO Food or Drinks are permitted in the School Hall. The CSA is the place to eat on the evening.

As this is a family event, supervision of all children is the responsibility of their parents/carers. This is not a drop off event. Staff will be joining in the celebrations during the evening but are not responsible for child minding. Thanks for respecting our school expectations and processes.

We are super excited to share our cultural talents with our community!

Parent Teacher Conferences

It has been wonderful to see several parents already up at the school to have a conference with their child/ren’s teacher/s. Term 3 is a great time to check in on your learner’s progress and their goals for the semester. If you haven’t already booked in, please consider doing so via the following link: 

A reminder that all conferences will be held in your child’s classroom (you will need to keep all of your children with you) unless you have booked next Monday 9 September or Tuesday 10 September. These two evenings will be hosted in the school hall, with child minding available. 4B bookings link, for early next term, will be forwarded early next week.

Learning in Action!

It was wonderful to see ‘learning in action’ in 2/3C last week as they culminated their number work with a Multiplication Fair. The Year 3 students treated the Year 2 students to a variety of student designed multiplication games. What an opportunity for extension work! It was certainly a highlight of 2/3C’s week.  

REBBOOT – Emotional Regulation Program

We have been launching our Emotional Regulation Program – Reboot after sending a few of our staff to training sessions. Mrs T and Ms Delisser have been working with our staff and some students already to develop our students’ emotional regulation skills.  Starting with understanding their brains and what happens in their brain when they are stressed, excited or learning (to name a few conditions).

Evolving over 15 years in classrooms, homes and clinics throughout Australia, Reboot has been extensively trialled and tested.  It is a highly practical neuroscience-based, trauma-transformative framework incorporating positive and developmental psychology, mindfulness and the science of behavioural change.

As we all share a common neuroarchitecture and daily set of needs, Reboot’s Whole-brain Framework and core tools address both well-being and learning engagement across all ages, from early childhood to staff development.

Reboot’s practical tools create positive behaviour change, calmer and more engaged schools and homes and happier young people. 

Rebooters (community members who are skilled) are: 

• Self Aware and Self Responsible
• Compassionately Connected
• Strong and Joyful
• Tenacious Learners
• Innovative Agents of Change
• Courageous Contributors
• Meaningful Communicators

We believe in explicitly teaching these emotional regulation skills to all of our students. We will continue to share with you as we start to embed these strategies in our school.
