Principal’s News
P&C AGM
Thank you to all the new and
continuing P&C members that were
able to make the AGM on Monday
night. I would like to congratulate our Executive Team
for 2019 on taking up positions. Our Executive
Members for this year are: Donald Maskall (President),
Angela Bell (Vice President), Lyn O’Keefe (Treasurer)
and Alicia Radecker (Secretary).
I would like to acknowledge the many years that Mal
Dodt has put into the One Mile P&C. Mal decided not
to put his hand up this year as he is also the President
of Gympie High’s P&C and has to run his business as
well. Thanks for all your work and energy Mal you will
be missed.
Deputy Director General Visit
Next Friday the 29th March we will be hosting Mr. Peter
Kelly who was appointed Deputy Director General at
the beginning of Term 4 last year. It will be a great
opportunity to show some of the great things that
happen every day here at One Mile SS. After Peter
spends the morning with us he will be heading out to
Mary Valley State College.
Cross Country
A reminder that Cross Country will be next Thursday
the 28th
of March first thing in the morning. Students
have been walking the course with Mr Martin in PE this
week in preparation. It has also been great to see the
number of students participating in the 12 minute run
on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Mornings.
Attendance
Congratulations to Year 6 for achieving an amazing
97.1% attendance for last week. Well done also to
Year 4 for achieving our target with an impressive 96.1%
Mr Stuart Bell
From the Deputy’s Desk OMSS 150th Committee
Parents are invited to attend the
150th Committee Meeting at 3:10pm
Monday (25th March) in the Staffroom. The P & C
have already set the date (Saturday 14th September).
Please come along to share ideas and support our
school to make this a celebration to remember!
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
Our expectation this week is I keep my hands, feet
and other objects to myself. Each year level also
has their goal which has been determined by the type
of incidents that year level is seeing. Please ask your
child/ren about the expectation.
Waste Education with Elli
Next week, all classes will receive a Waste Education
lesson with Elli to further our knowledge. The students
have taken an active role in all our activities to date
and are always coming up with innovative ideas on
how we can help our environment.
Have a great week!

Student Absences
School News 21st March 2019
Recording your child’s absence is an important task
when your child is away. We have a student absence
line for your convenience.
Please Call 07-5480-2760
Note: - Student absences of more than 10 days
duration require an approved student exemption
form. Please see the office.
Curriculum Corner Report Cards
Last year we began a review of our current report card system. This review asked for feedback from parents and staff about how our report cards work and how they inform parents and caregivers. Please watch this space for more information about how our new reporting will change from recent years.
One of the biggest responses from parent’s feedback was. “Why do the different year levels have a different achievement level/ rating?
Below you will see that although the terms are different the scale is still a 5 point scale of achievement. Although the language is different essentially they mean the same thing. This system is mandated by the Education Department and we can’t change it.
Prep
Year 1- 2
Year 3-6
You can see that although the language used is different the same 5 point scale exists in all Levels of achievement. (N is used in all achievement levels.)
Over the next few newsletters I will attempt to answer some of the other questions raised by parents from our review.
We are looking forward to our new report cards which will allow better communication between the school and parents.
Playgroup
Thank you to all of those families that joined us on Thursday for Playgroup. Don’t forget Playgroup is free and happens every week. Check our flyer in the newsletter below.
Library and Take Home Reader Borrowing
Borrowing books from the Resource Centre and take home readers happens every week. Please ensure that our wonderful resources are kept in good condition by providing a waterproof bag for borrowing. It’s also worthwhile discussing with children the right way to handle books to ensure they stay safe.
Have a great week

This is held across Brisbane Road (south of the cricket

ovals at the moment and we have been working with
Gympie Regional Council to ensure the safe running of
this event. Please adhere to any signage. The start
line will be slightly different to last year which will
enable easy access for parent viewing. We hope to
have a coffee van available on the morning.

Music Notes
We've been busy in the music room! Don't forget the order of events each week!
Monday - Marimba Maestro's
Tuesday - Senior Choir
Wednesday - Junior Choir
Thursday - Rock Band 'O.M.G'
These all take place at first break during play time.
Marimba Maestro's are coming along swimmingly! Jonathon, Amaya, Isaac and Abbi are working on 2 pieces called Bridge Creek and Tong Gu Ra Mi (Korean for 'Circle'). I'm also keen to get them to compose their very own Marimba Composition!
Senior Choir! Yay! We have a Senior Choir this year!
😊 We are working on 3 main pieces at the moment.
The Last Anzac (Junior Choir is also learning this one), Goodbye Captain, and The Wild Mountainside. Senior Choir students have been organised into Soprano and Alto parts and they are working hard at singing together in perfect harmony! A note to Senior Choir - feel free to bring in a USB so that Mrs Airey can put your part (Soprano or Alto and the backing tracks)
from the songs we are learning onto your USB and you
can take them home and practice. 😊
Junior Choir! Attendance at Junior Choir fluctuates from week to week... We have several very diligent Junior Choir members who consistently attend every single week and they should be so proud of how they are sounding! Stellar effort! We are working on The Last Anzac, I Like the Flowers, and No One Like You. Please remind your child/ren that Junior Choir is supposed to be a year long commitment (I'd settle for a
whole semester commitment) 😉 and if too many
practices are missed students won't know the songs we are learning well enough and will be unable to participate in performances on parade etc.
Rock Band! O.M.G. (One Mile Gold) are working on 4 songs at the moment: Shotgun, See you Again, In the Air Tonight, and Land Down Under and we have many more we can't wait to work on!
These are a keen bunch of young musicians who love music just about as much as Mrs Airey does and that's A LOT!!! I love working with ALL our One Mile mini-muso's! Your dedication and commitment to making music fills me with pride to be a part of your musical
journey! Keep making music everyone! 😊
See you in the music room!
Mrs Kate Airey 😊
Frozy Cups are BACK!

Thirty two of our best scientists and
mathematicians from year six attended the
Science and Engineering Challenge organised
by the University of Newcastle. It was held at
The Pavillion in Gympie. It was a full day of
hands on learning in engineering and full of
challenges! One challenge was to build a
bridge in a set amount of time. All the
bridges were tested with weights and the last
one standing declared the winner! Another
challenge was to make a robotic hand. The
hand needed to be able to pick up one straw
but also a handful of straws. There were
other objects to pick up as well such as a ball.
Points were awarded for what items your
robotic hand could lift. All the students
reported the day was excellent fun and all
the teachers were pleased this ‘fun’ was
excellent learning! Thank you to Mr Derrick
for supervising us on the day and to Mrs
Cantle for organising the day.
