Once final results are known of each competition I shall inform all students accordingly. We shall be re-commencing our Summer PSSA in Week 9. Next week all Summer PSSA teams will be training in preparation for the restart of the competition. Principal’s Message P&C The P & C have a very busy couple of weeks leading up to the end of the school term. They have just finished with the Fathers Day Stall last week and will be holding a Mufti Day this Thursday, organising a Sausage Sizzle and market stalls for Election Day and running an outdoor movie night to celebrate the end of term on the last Friday night. This hard working group of parents are wonderful supporters of your children’s learning and do a fantastic job raising funds to ensure our kids have the best resources available. If you would like to know more about these events and have a chance to hear from a Holroyd Council Parking Ranger please attend the P & C meeting tonight at 7.30pm. All are welcome. School Camp We have camps for both Stage Two students (Great Aussie Bush Camp) and Stage Three (Narrabeen Sport & Rec) over the next six weeks. School camp is a great experience for all students. If you speak to a high schooler or think back on your own time at school, camp is usually one of your strongest memories. It is a time to build independence away from mum and dad and spend some time with your school friends. We have had a couple of parents ask if students can take phones on camp. This is not a good idea for a number of reasons; Both these camp organisations have asked for phones to be left at home The rooms won’t have adequate power outlets Security cannot be guaranteed – electronics get lost and broken in the dorms Other schools will be on site It stifles the students development of independence The school has contact details for the venues and teachers and the teachers on camp have your contact details in case Tuesday 3rd September 2013 of an emergency. A few days away from the internet and phone, playing outside with your friends, is exactly what our modern connected kids need. Interrelate We are having Interrelate visit the school on the last Tuesday night of the term. It has been a few years since their last visit to the school but they return this year at the request of the P & C. Interrelate are an organisation that runs workshops on how students change as they enter puberty and what they can expect. There is some more information about this later on in the newsletter. The course is run for the students and their parents, children cannot attend alone. Their knowledge in this area, and their ability to communicate it to children, is very good. They cover these topics more fully than we can in the classroom. Many parents attend these workshops to open up better communication with their children in these areas and children often feel more comfortable asking ‘embarrassing’ questions to an expert rather than their parent or teacher. A note went home last week for these workshops. Enrolments We already have over 60 new enrolments for kinder in 2014. If you have a child at home, or a neighbour, who is starting school next year please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan to have adequate classrooms and teachers to cater for the growth in overall school numbers at the beginning of the year. Simply drop into the office and collect enrolment forms. At the same time it is very important for us to know if any students are moving or leaving between now and the end of the year. This lets us develop classes of the right size during term four. Please contact the school office (phone, note or drop in) as soon as possible. Ask WHAT when kids act up “Asking WHY when kids misbehave generally closes down a conversation and puts them on the defensive. There’s a better question to ask when kids behave poorly. Ask a question beginning with ‘WHAT?” ‘WHY.............?’ ‘Why on earth did you do that?’ Most of us have said this to our kids at some stage. They hurt a sibling and we say, ‘Why?’ They argue and fight at the meal table and we say, ‘Why?’ This is a natural reaction. But often kids can’t articulate why they have done the wrong thing. Boys, in particular, will usually reply, ‘I dunno.’ They know something isn’t right, but articulating it is another matter. The Buzz- Issue 10 Term 3 - Week 8 Even if they give you a reason for their poor behaviour (‘cos she hit me first’, ‘I’m not hungry anyway’) where to from there? Asking WHY when kids misbehave generally closes down a conversation and puts them on the defensive. There’s a better question to ask when kids behave poorly. Ask a question beginning with ‘WHAT?’ Okay, your first reaction to misbehaviour maybe ‘What the.....’ but hold that thought in. Better to ask questions such as: • WHAT were you thinking when you hurt your sister? • WHAT was happening when you argued with your friend? • WHAT should you have done when you didn’t want to eat and decided to annoy your sister? • WHAT will you do next time when you feel like acting like that? • WHAT do you think your brother meant when he said that you were......? WHAT will you do now to make it up to your brother? These types of questions are reflective and restorative. They require children to reflect on their thinking, their behaviour and the situation at hand. This opens up conversations that lead to learning. Effective discipline helps children learn better ways of behaving. Some of the questions lead children to the important aspect of repairing or restoring relationships they may have damaged through their behaviour and so take some responsibility for the way they acted. Taking responsibility and making amends is another vital aspect of discipline. Importantly, asking what? when kids’ misbehaviour impacts on others leads them further down the road from self interest to social interest, where they consider the well-being of others. It’s also in line with the types of questions teachers are asking your children when their behaviour adversely affects others.
