TA4 Buckingham House Visit
Last week the Year 2’s dressed as Pioneers and went to Buckingham House. We had a wonderful morning learning about life during the early years of settlement in Perth. A special thanks must be made to all our adult volunteers, without them our day would not have been so lovely!

Dear Parents and Caregivers
Term Planner
This is an incredibly busy time of the year at South Padbury and keeping on top of everything can be a real struggle. At the beginning of each term we do publish a term planner, but as with all good plans, it is subject to change. The best way to know what’s going on is to check our term planner on the school’s website, the school app or come in to the front office and ask for a copy of the term planner. Any date changes that occur will be advised via the school app.
From our end, we’re also constantly putting information up on the app as this is the easiest, most direct way to communicate with you.
Toilets
Following a school board decision, our hand washing protocols have changed and our hand sanitizer has been replaced with soap, water and paper towels. Thank you to Mrs Hill for organising this change.
Faction Carnival
We’re all very excited for this upcoming event on Friday. Mrs Williams has been very busy organising and training the students in each event so that we’re ready on Friday. This is very much a student centred learning environment and as such will actually be run by the students. In this, there will be mistakes and things won’t necessarily always run exactly to plan. The alternative is to return to a traditional format where children spend 75% of the time sitting and 25% of the time competing. Our carnival has all children engaged all of the time.
Edu Dance Concert
I’m excited to see this spectacular event on Tuesday 12 September at 2.00pm in the undercover area.
NAPLAN Community Forum
I’m presenting our whole school 2017 NAPLAN analysis and action plan on Wednesday 20 September in the staffroom. If data and it’s uses are of interest to you, this may be a session worth attending as our analysis and follow up are extensive, detailed and tightly targeted.
Year 1 Teacher
The school has advertised for a new Year 1 position. 2018 will see Mrs Gilchrist move into a support role on Monday and Tuesdays, leaving TA1 requiring a new teacher. We received 163 applications and we’re now down to the final 5 who we’ll interview in due course. Mr Jones and Miss Bishop are supporting me in the selection process. We’ll let you all know who the new person is once a decision has been made.

your children are wearing their faction colour shirt and if your children are going to colour their hair for the

Thank you to all parents who have been shopping at Woolworths and collecting earn and learn stickers
which will help our school get new items like sports equipment. There are only a few weeks to go with
stickers finishing on Tuesday 19 September, so please send in any stickers or parts of sheets to the
office so that we can tally our points on Wednesday 20 September.
Finally a big thank you to Trevor’s carpets in Malaga who kindly donated new carpet squares for our
growing school.
