“Strength Through Understanding” NEWSLETTER 7th October, 2010 Phone: 5598 3381 Fax: 5598 3507 Website: http://www.timboonp12.vic.edu.au Email: [email protected] School Council President: Gary Langenhuizen Edition: 10:30 School Captains: James Kerr, Kerry O’Shea, Ian Johnson, Rebecca Moriarty, Michael Vogels, Tess Willox TSPA: President – Katrina Currell Secretary – Kylie Martin PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Welcome back to term four. The new Library is complete. We are waiting on a Certificate of Occupancy and the new library shelving. We are seeking the services of a community group who would like to be involved in the shifting of our book stock. This will be a mammoth job and you may know of a physically fit group of people who would like to earn money for their club by shifting the books. We will provide appropriate book boxes and utes can be used to go from one building to the other. The activity will be co-ordinated by school staff and may be conducted during school hours or on the weekend. Contact me if you are interested. The raffle books are due back tomorrow. Thank-you for supporting the school with this fundraising effort. The proceeds from the raffle will go towards making our old libraries into re-useable classroom spaces. These buildings are far more attractive than some of our current classrooms and will make excellent teaching and learning spaces for our students and teachers. Do you have a child starting school in 2011? Enrolment forms are now due. This term we have many camps, excursions and activities happening. It can be a costly time for parents. Some parents have adopted a payment plan through their banks whereby they pay a small amount each pay into the schools bank account. At the end of the year their account balance at the school is almost clear or in the black. If you would like to take this option up please contact the school.

I hope everyone has come back refreshed and determined to complete the year in a positive manner. Sun smart: As we enter that time of the year when the weather warms up it is important that students ensure that they protect themselves from the sun by wearing a hat or by finding a shaded area during lunchtime and recess. Year 12: There are less than 3 school weeks left for our year 12 students. On Thursday 21st October we will be holding special final assembly for our year 12 students in the school hall at 9:00pm. All parents are welcome to attend this celebration. Following this our Year 12 students will focus on revision for their final exams which begin on the 28th of October. Year 7 2011 Transition program: This program will be held on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th of October on the secondary campus. Information regarding this will be distributed home shortly. To assist with planning and student placing we do require your intentions sheet for 2011 at the general office a.s.a.p. Facial piercings: As stated in the school diary, facial rings are not permitted. Mock interviews: Next Thursday we will be conducting mock interviews at the Timboon hospital for our Year 10 students. This is a very valuable experience for students to gain a taste of the expectations and the process of applying for a REAL job. Thank you to Mr. Deppeler, Mr. Aberline, Ms. Nicholson and the local business identities for their assistance and support towards this program. Athletics: Good luck to our students competing at the western zone finals in Geelong next Monday. And remember: “To finish first, you must first finish”. Rick Mears SEAN FITZPATRICK – ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL This term promises to be an action packed one with many activities approaching at rapid speed such as the year four Melbourne Camp, Year 3 Kangaroobie Camp and dare I say it end of year celebrations. As these important events draw closer preparation becomes a key requirement. Talking about the activities, that will be a once in a lifetime opportunity with school friends, will help to build up your child‟s readiness for these kinds of events. Could I remind parents of the need to go through the office or a teacher when looking for students over recess and lunch times. Having adults wandering the school can be concerning to children and is something that staff need to supervise. Once again teachers are now beginning the planning stages for class structures and child placements for the next year. While teachers take the utmost care when considering the placement of every child, using their understanding and experience we do offer parents the opportunity to share with us any extra considerations that you as parents are aware of that may impact on your child‟s learning. For example, there may be neighbourhood issues that can cause distractions for children‟s learning or there may be friendship concerns that you would like to alert us to. If this is the case then you are able to notify me about these issues and we will bring them into consideration when planning our grades for 2011. Likewise if you know that your family will not be attending Timboon P-12 School in 2011 we would greatly appreciate having this information as it will assist in our class planning process. Please contact me directly with your information either by phone or come in to see me before October 17th. Once this time passes our ability to consider your information is seriously impacted so please make sure you contact me in the next two weeks. Thank-you to all our parents who have made sure that your children‟s school hat is ready for the warmer days. There are still a few children who do not have the correct school hat and some parts of school uniform I will be sending home letters over the next week about this issue. Just a little reminder PLEASE make sure items of uniform are clearly named so that there is no question about ownership and when they are put down they can easily be returned to their rightful owner. ANDREA TAYLOR, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 9-12 SUBSCHOOL REPORT Driving lessons in Timboon. If you have your “L‟s” and are interested in some driving lessons with a driving school, you may wish to consider this opportunity. Craig Lancaster, Colac Driving School, is offering to come to our school over 3 consecutive Wednesdays, to teach some basic driving / parking skills. Wednesday 13th October – in an automatic car, 20th and 27th in a manual car. The cost for a 45 minute lesson would be $30. There are 9 time slots available each day, from 8:10 am through to 4:30 pm (finishing at 5:15 pm) . Craig will come to Timboon if there are 6 timeslots filled on the consecutive days. Please see Mrs Nicholson to book a time a.s.a.p if you are interested. Please note: there is one sponsored / free drive lesson available to all learners – Google keys2drive and follow the prompts. JULIE NICHOLSON, 9 -12 SUBSCHOOL LEADER 5-8 SUB-SCHOOL REPORT Year 5-8 students are excitedly looking forward to tomorrow tonight‟s disco run by the year 12 students. The event will be supervised by teachers as well and, rest assured, no child will have permission to leave the school hall until collected by a parent at 10.30. Please be prompt otherwise it becomes a late night for those giving up personal time to allow this activity to run. Year five began the practical side of their Bicycle Education training today. Student bicycles had to undergo a parts and size safety inspection before the program began. Every available storage facility contains student bikes and, over the term, students will participate in skill development and road safety lessons which will culminate in a road „licence‟ test and ride to Peterborough in December. Year six are continuing their „Place in Space‟ theme and preparations for the year six play continue in earnest with sets, costumes and stage rehearsals the focus. Year seven chefs are inventing their own muffins following a basic recipe. Some are learning new skills (melting, piping) and chocolate was very popular as a requested ingredient. The textiles group have completed their tiedyed pillow cases and are venturing into toy making with „goodies and baddies‟. Please request to see their design books. A parental interest in the student design books would also be appreciated in Technology Studies for year eight students. They have been constructing clocks and small lidded boxes, using wood, metal and Perspex with some students‟ skilling up with laminating pieces of wood as an extra design element. A great final product begins in the research and design phase which is hard to bear for some students who just want to get in and make. Support from interested parent would be of benefit. The ICAS University of NSW Mathematics, Science and Computer Competition (open to year 3- 12 students) were presented at the P-12 assembly today. Congratulations to all participants; the outstanding results are printed elsewhere in this newsletter. Results for English, Writing and Spelling will arrive shortly. Please encourage your child to be an annual participant in these competitions following notices in the newsletters early each year. Students have quickly settled back into routine and the enjoyment of being back with friends. Please remember to ask after homework as every student in year 5 – 8 has homework on a weekly basis; check diaries for when this is handed out and due as each group has timeslots that fit with their program. Please contact your child‟s home group teacher if this has not been recorded in their diary. JULIE BROOMHALL, 5-8 SUBSCHOOL LEADER P-4 SUB-SCHOOL REPORT Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great holiday and you have all come back refreshed and relaxed, ready to start the last term of the year. We have had a few new children join us at Timboon P-12 School lately. A big welcome to Josh (2K) and Aimee (4W) Pascoe. Also to Dominic Holswich who is in 1/2P. With the Commonwealth Games currently being conducted, lots of grades are using this opportunity to look at India and/or specific sports which will be featured. This week the children have been lucky enough to attend some lunch-time discos. These were enjoyed by everyone. Well done to those secondary students who organised the fun. Preps have finished the PMP Program. I would like to add my thanks to Maureen and Linda. Your help with this very valuable program is much appreciated. Grades 1 and 2 students have been learning about the Indian culture and inventions, like the dice, bangles and the ruler. The significance of the colours orange, white and green on the flag is also being discussed, as well as India‟s language and traditions. The children are also having a taste of geography by finding India on a world map and locating the city of New Delhi. The children are very interested in Australia‟s athletes, following their progress through the internet, newspapers, TV and books. In Maths they are looking at time, in particular, o‟clock and half past times on analogue and digital clocks. Grades 3 and 4 are also using the Commonwealth Games to refresh our knowledge of India and take note of the lesser known sports. It‟s coming up to “Camp time” for both year levels. All the children are very excited. Grade 3‟s received their (medical) permission and packing notes Tuesday. The Grade 4‟s need to have their Camp fully paid for by tomorrow. We are aware some children may have anxious moments leading up to their camp. Please talk to your classroom teacher if there is a concern. Often these worries can be alleviated when we know about the issues prior to Camp. All grades will have ample time in class to discuss and prepare the children for their camping experience. The year 3‟s are refreshing and expanding their knowledge of the structure of a letter. We are using our holiday experiences to write a letter describing a day from our holiday. The year 4‟s are writing about their holiday news using a variety of poetry styles. They are focussing on „Location‟ concepts in Maths.
