PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
GINAYA YARNOLD
congratulate the following students on this wonderful
achievement:
Dear Parents and Carers
It has been lovely to see so many parents during
the last week at our Parent/Teacher/Student
Interviews. The feedback from parents regarding
the Principal's Awards has also been fantastic to
hear. Please don't forget to send in your 'Two Stars
and a Wish' sheet to your child's classroom teacher. If you
haven't had a chance to complete this yet, please take some
time over the holidays and it can be returned at the start of next
term. We would like to wish everyone a safe and relaxing
holiday break and look forward to having the children return to
school on Wednesday 20 July 2016.
CSO NEEDS BASED FUNDING: The school is very excited to
announce that we have received additional funding from the
government through the Catholic Schools Office to further
enhance our student learning and school improvement focus.
The proposal that was submitted by the school and has
progressed through Parish approval and we look forward to
some exciting projects beginning at the start of next term. The
two main staffing changes will involve the employment of a K-3
Instructional Leader (Reading) and PBS School Leader. PBS
stands for Positive Behaviour Support and is a school wide
initiative that we have explored to support the initiatives
identified in the school DOLSIS and Insight SRC survey results.
We look forward to the addition of these two important roles
within the school. These appointments will have a flow on effect
to two classrooms for Terms Three and Four this year.
Advertisements will be coordinated during the holidays and we
will be making the announcements as soon as possible. We
thank you for your support in making our school an even better
learning environment for your child/ren.
PARENT SURVEY: A huge thank you to the parents that have
taken the time to complete the short parent survey when
attending the Parent/Teacher/Student interviews in the Hall. We
are in the process of collating all of the information and will
share the results with you early next term.
BUS STOP SAFETY: A reminder to all parents to please have
'Stranger Danger' discussions with your children, especially if
they spend time at a bus stop before or after school. Yesterday,
we were made aware of a potential issue with an adult
approaching a child and trying to make conversation with them
and offering them a ride in their car. Please ensure that your
child/ren know what to do if this type of event happens to them.
The safety of all of our children is always paramount.
KINDERGARTEN PYJAMA PARTY: It was so much fun to
engage with the Kindergarten students for their special 'Pyjama
Party' day. Staff looked fantastic and I know the children were
impressed with the Kindergarten staff and the leopard print
group. Photos have been published on the front page of the
newsletter this week.
NEW STUDENTS: We welcome Jasmine Anastas (KC) James
Ayres (5D) and their families to our school.

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
RICK GALVIN
GOD MOMENTS: Summer Blackney - The Office
Ladies would like to thank Summer Blackney from
Year 4 for showing great care and compassion
towards a Kinder student who was injured in the
playground this week. Summer kindly took the
kinder student up to the Office and waited and comforted her
while she was receiving first aid. Thank you Summer for
“Making Jesus Real” in our school community!
NEXT FAIR MEETING: Just a reminder that our next Fair
Meeting will be held at the Blue Water Restaurant & Bar on
Wednesday 27 July at 5:30pm (not 20 July, as stated in last
week’s Newsletter). Don’t forget that there will be some nibbles
provided on the night. The Fair Committee can’t wait to hear
some of the new and innovative ideas from our current and new
families, so that we can try to make our major fundraiser for the
year even better than last year!! Looking forward to seeing you
there!
PARENT/TEACHER INTERVIEWS: It was great to get a
chance to chat to so many parents, as they arrived for their
Parent/Teacher interviews this week. The interviews provide a
wonderful opportunity for parents/carers to gain insight into
their child’s learning and classroom experience. Thank you to
all the staff, for their time and energy they have spent in
organising and hosting the interviews this week. A special
thanks to the MasterChef’s (Bec and Jodie in the Canteen), for
cooking such delicious soups and casseroles for the staff each
night!
ENJOY THE BREAK: Well, I can’t believe we are already at the
end of Term 2! Whilst visiting the classrooms and out on the
playground this week, I have noticed a lot of children looking a
bit tired and ready for a well earned two week break. I would
like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a relaxing and
safe holiday. I look forward to welcoming everyone back next
term and can’t wait to be a part of the exciting learning
opportunities and events that will be occurring at St Agnes’
during Term 3.
LEADERS OF CURRICULUM/DIGITAL PEDAGOGIES
CHRISTY ISMAY & CYNTHIA NOSWORTHY
LUNCH TIME ENRICHMENT GROUPS:
There have been many lunchtime
enrichment opportunities happening at St
Agnes' over Term 2. Our students are so
lucky to have the opportunity to engage in
these lunchtime groups and have enjoyed sharing their learning
and ideas with like minded students, during these group times.
Mr Brazel has been running a Mathematics Club for Year 2, 3
and 4. This is a chance for those students, who particularly love
the deep Maths learning that is happening in their classrooms
regardless of capability, to extend and challenge themselves. A
huge thank you to Mr Brazel, for beginning this initiative and
sharing his passion for Mathematics with these lucky students.
Mrs Nosworthy and Mrs Ismay have also been running
lunchtime Poetry Club, where students were able to compose
and submit a piece of poetry for the Dorethea MacKellar Poetry
competition. This national competition has been a wonderful
opportunity for some of our students from Years 2 - 6 to engage
in some deeper poetry learning. These children have shown
great development from the beginning of the term to now and
should be very proud of their submissions. Well done!
CREATIVE ARTS SPECTACULAR: Lock it in! Preparations for
our annual Creative Arts Spectacular are well under way. This
great night will take place on Thursday, 8 September. Those
students that have been rehearsing in one of our 5 dance
groups, one of our two choirs or as part of the school band, will
be performing at this amazing evening. The night involves
those students in Years 1 - 6 who have been giving up their
lunchtimes and before school play to rehearse. Every year, this
night seems to get bigger and better and we encourage those
younger students who are not involved in any of the groups yet,
to come along and watch with their families. It is always a great
sight to see these younger students watching their buddies or
older friends performing and it gives them a goal to work
towards in the Creative Arts.
Those students who are involved will be given a note early next
term with all costume and rehearsal day details.
LEADER OF PEDAGOGY REPORT
STACEY MULLIN
The school holidays are a great opportunity to
recharge and take time as a family to slow down
from the busyness of the school term. There are many days, or
parts of days when our kids get bored with movies, cleaning
their rooms and even their Ipods and Ipads. This is a great time
to reintroduce the family games, using dice, cards or other
counting games to fill the time. We began the term with our
Maths night that focused on playing games in maths to use and
practice the concepts more. Any simple game using dice allows
our younger students to read numbers and understand
quantities. A game of monopoly is a budgeting game,
encouraging students to count money and give change especially if they are the banker. You may take the chance to
reopen the package from MKR night and revisit a game from
your child’s grade to encourage the continued learning of your
child and take your time out as a family.
SPORTS NEWS - CLAIRE MICHELL
COACHED SPORT FINISHED: KI, Year 3 and 4
have finished their coached sport sessions for the
term in Gymnastics, Tennis, Cricket and Hockey.
Thank you to Activated Gymnastics, Port
Macquarie Tennis Club and Greg Alchin, Martin
Garoni and Cricket NSW and Phil Jackwitz and Hockey NSW
for running these sessions. These sporting opportunities are
funded through the Government program known as Sporting
Schools. We are fortunate to be supplied with enough funding
each semester to cover the expenses of these coached
sessions so that our students do not have to pay anything.
Having expert tuition from community professionals enables
students to experience new or familiar sports in highly
interactive and engaging ways.
YEAR 2 COACHING: Thank you to St Joseph’s Regional
College students, the Year 2 teachers, John Rossington and
Craig Bushe for organising coaching sessions of Fundamental
Movement Skills to our Year 2 students. They loved the
program and their certificates of participation!
ZONE ATHLETICS RESULTS - FROM TRACKSIDE TEAM
MANAGER AND COMMENTATOR MR PURKIS: It was a
pleasure taking over 50 children to St Joseph’s Regional
College for the Zone Athletics Carnival. Our track and field tried
their best and achieved some great results, prevailing against
some strong competition amongst the schools present.
Children wished each other well and were cheering on their
friends when not competing. Special mentions to Liam
Cameron and Eliza Ruhl as 11yr Champions, Zayn Galea as
Runner-up, and to the Junior Relay and Senior relay teams
who finished off our day with smooth transitions and blistering
speed. The School team walked away with a strong 2nd place
overall. A big congratulations to all who participated. A thank
you to Mrs Mercer for her long jump recording skills, Kate
Morris for fantastic assistance with track marshalling and Mrs
Halloran for helping to settle nerves and making sure all
competitors got to their events on time.
Students who have made it to the Diocesan Athletic Trials in
Coffs Harbour on the 19 August are reminded to ensure they
bring their necessary notes and payments to the Office by
Friday 22 July.
CPS RUGBY: Congratulations to Ben Howarth and Sam Fox
who competed in Forbes on Monday.
AUSTRALIAN MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS: Emily
Edmed, Jake Green, Hayden Pepper and Jamie Merrick went
to the Newcastle Australian Martial Arts Championships on
Sunday, 26 June. It was a day enjoyed by all Competitors and
spectators. Emily came 1st in Sumo, Sword and Point Sparring.
2nd in Hard Forms and Continuous Sparring. Congratulations
to all competitors.

ST AGNES’ FAIR
SATURDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2016
Dear K/1/2 Parents and Carers
St Agnes’ Fair is the event of the year and our major fundraiser. When our Year 6 graduated last year and
moved onto High School we lost quite a few of our helpers integral to the running of this fantastic event.
We now have several vacancies we need to fill:
Entertainment Coordinator - booking and scheduling entertainment on the day
Toy Stall Coordinator
Book Stall Coordinator
Garage Stall Coordinator
In all of these roles you are guaranteed support, advice and lots of helpers on the day!
If you would like more information or can help, please see the lovely ladies in the Office or call Leanne Hatherly
on 0438 023 119 for more information.
We would love to keep our reputation of having ‘The Best Fair in Town’ but need your help - so grab some
friends and take on one of these roles. We welcome joint Stall Coordinators’, it’s lots of fun and your kids love
having Mum or Dad helping out!!
Our next meeting is at Blue Water Bar and Restaurant on 27 July 2016 at 5:30pm, we look forward to seeing
you there.
