Dear Families and Friends
On Friday Mrs Edwards and I attended the Pine Rivers Show Band Competition with our Dayboro Instrumental Band. Our students performed with confidence, precision and enthusiasm. Many thanks to Mrs Edwards for preparing our students so well and many thanks to the parents to for ensuring they were correctly dressed in our Band uniform. They looked sensational. I would also like to say a huge thank you to those parents that came along and also helped to transport students to and from the show. We were very fortunate to have some time after to walk around and look at the school work, cookery items and photography on display as well. Congratulations to Zeke Zuvela who won Junior Reserve Grand Champion in Photography for his excellent shot of a Sacred Kingfisher.
We found out Friday afternoon that our band came 2nd!!! An impressive achievement. Well Done!
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD)
Over the next few weeks, Dayboro school staff will be undertaking The NCCD on School Students with Disability. The NCCD takes place every year, in all Australian schools and collects data on:
- the number of students in the school receiving an adjustment or ‘help’ due to disability
- the level of support the students are receiving to access education on the same basis as other students
A fact sheet with details about the NCCD. Was included in last week’s newsletter. If you have any additional questions, please contact Tracey Hammond at Dayboro State School. 342561
REGULAR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Did you know? Research shows that in Queensland, higher student attendance at school is associated, on average, with higher student achievement.
Why is regular attendance at school important?
Regular school attendance will mean that your child gets a better chance at life. Your child will achieve better when they go to school all day, every school day:
- they learn better
- they make friends
- they are happier
- they have a brighter future.
Why must I send my child to school?
Under Queensland law, you must make sure your child of school age is enrolled and attends school all day, every school day unless they have a reasonable excuse. Illness, doing work experience, competing in a school sporting event or going on a school excursion are reasonable excuses for being absent from school.
Principals decide if the excuse given for your child’s absence is reasonable.
Queensland Ready Reading
The Ready Reading program invites parents and community members to make a difference in their local community by volunteering in schools to support children’s reading.
Reading is a powerful tool to help children grow their vocabulary, language skills and imagination. It helps them to develop life-long skills that will support their future growth and learning.
The Department of Education’s Reading Centre and Volunteering Queensland are working together to help improve literacy for children in Queensland by training up to 3000 volunteers to share their knowledge and time to foster a love of reading.

Dance Fever continues every Thursday for the next 10 weeks. Thank you to everyone who has finalised payments. We are looking forward to seeing the students show us their Dance Moves at the Family Dance Night in September.
Thank you to Mrs Edwards and the parent helpers who drove and supervised our Band students at the Pine Rivers Show last Friday.
