NAPLAN TESTING GRADE 3 & 5 STUDENTS
National testing in literacy and numeracy for students in
Grades 3 & 5 takes place next Tues/Wed/Thurs. Teachers have been familiarising students with the process of
formal testing and giving practice questions to help both
alleviate any stress and maximise their potential in the
tests. Can we ask parents to help us by ensuring students arrive at school in plenty of time as most testing
is scheduled for morning sessions. Thank you.
A flyer explaining the testing programme has been sent
home today to help explain the process to parents. Results from the tests will be sent to parents early in
Term 4.

industry's official product stewardship program. It's
a free mobile phone recycling program that accepts
all brands and types of mobile phones, plus their
batteries, chargers and accessories. Basically, it's
the industry's way of ensuring mobile phone products
don't end up in landfill - but instead are recycled in a
safe, secure and ethical way.
The collection box will be located in 5/6C – Room 2
and we encourage all families to bring in any old
mobile phones and accessories they no longer use.
We will end collection on World Environment Day,

Term 2 Week 4 7th of May 2015
Come and Have Fun with us!
Hi Families,
DO YOU HAVE ANY ODD SOCKS LAYING AROUND THAT NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU LOOK YOU CAN'T FIND IT'S
MATE? If you would like to get rid of them, I will take them off your feet, oops I mean hands!
This terms Buddy Activities will be focussing on learning from each other and helping others. With this we are
hoping to have a lot of activities that are led by the children. We are wanting to also make a puppet theatre in order
to do a variety of puppet plays, so if anyone has any ideas on how that should look we would appreciate any help
given to us. As we are wanting to make puppet friends for our new Buddy Puppet we would appreciate any
donations of off cut material or any odd socks that you may have laying around.
We have also started on our Buddy Leadership program and have been asking for any child that is interested in
becoming a Buddy Leader to write a letter stating what they are good at and can help others with and what they
think makes a good Buddy Leader. I have 8 children put up their hands to be Buddy Leaders, which is fantastic and I
am aiming to have 10 so if you come into O.S.H.C & think you have what it takes to be a leader please come see
Jodie and let her know.
Next term we have our annual fundraiser and I am looking into making an O.S.H.C recipe book and would appreciate
any recipes that you and your family enjoy from entree's to dessert & supper ideas. Also if anyone has any
experience in binding books I would appreciate some help with that as well.
We endeavour to ensure that all your child's medical and contact details are kept up to date as possible, to help us
with this task I ask you to come and see me if there is any changes in your or your child's details. We want to make
sure we can contact you if there is an emergency and ensuring that your details are correct is the best way to do
this.
If you know that your child will NOT be attending a session they have been booked into PLEASE ensure you give me
a call to let me know, so that I am not chasing up children that are safely with their caregiver.
I encourage you all to enrol your child/ren with us in case of emergencies that are beyond your control
and to ensure that I have access to your child’s details if needed. To enrol your child/ren go to
www.campaustralia.com.au.
We have vacancies every morning and afternoon in O.S.H.C. don’t hesitate to book your child/ren in
today!
Cheers & Keep Smiling
Jodie & Dawn
