Hello everyone
VOLUME
2016
Welcome to week 3 of the term. Our main event this week is our
participation in the Richmond Outback Fossil Fest. All community
members are invited to our open morning between 9.30am and
11.00am. Pay a visit to the classrooms between 9.30am and
10.00am and then join us at 10.00am as the students present a
selection of ‘Australiana’ songs during the mini concert. Take up the
challenge to see who can throw the furthest in the thong throwing
competition and then join us for a bite to eat and a cuppa for
morning tea.

The students are getting very excited in their anticipation of taking
part in the Street Parade Saturday morning. It has been a hive of
activity preparing props and costumes for our ‘float’.

school ANZAC Ceremony last Friday as well as congratulate the
Year 9/10 History class and Mia Maluga, for the confident manner in
which they organised and conducted the ceremony.

NAPLAN testing dates are virtually upon us. Students in years 3, 5
and 9 will be sitting the tests over a three day period- 10th, 11th and
12th May. Students undertake testing in Language Conventions,
Reading Comprehension, Writing and Mathematics. We would ask
that all students from these classes are in attendance on these
designated days to complete the testing.
Our curriculum focus remains our reading agenda. DRI –
Differentiated Reading Instructions sessions continue in the Primary
school; Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Each class has a
dedicated hour session which involves a reading lesson with the
teacher and then students working independently or in small groups
developing their reading process strategies as well as their reading
comprehension strategies. Reading accuracy and fluency as well as
phonemic awareness are also targeted. Students in years 8 to 10
continue with their dedicated weekly reading session, where
students have been concentrating on developing their
comprehension strategies. Please continue to encourage your
children to be reading daily as well as listening to them read and
asking them questions about what they have read.
RICHMOND STATE SCHOOL
Looking forward to seeing you on Friday during our open morning.
Warm regards

Student Lost Property
Just a reminder to parents and caregivers, to check the lost property on a regular basis. To help reduce this problem,
please ensure all your child’s clothes
are clearly labelled. Children take them
off in all sorts of places across the
school and unless they are
labelled, it is very difficult to find the
owners. All property left by the end of
term will be given to the Red Cross.
Thank you.
