Week 7 – 13th March 2019 Sharing Our News
Our KSPS school leaders took part in the Halogen National
Leaders Conference held in Sydney on Monday. It was a
fantastic day and our leaders came back inspired from talking
with other leaders from across our region and the state. This was
a wonderful opportunity for our leaders to listen to international
speakers and sports people. A huge thanks to Mr Lindsell for
taking the time to drive our leaders to and from the conference.
All ATSI parents are invited to our Personalised Learning Plan
breakfast to be held in the hall from 8.15am on Thursday
morning. Teachers and students will bring wonderful ideas for
goals in relation to the students learning and culture. We look
forward to a great attendance.
This Friday our school will be supporting the "Bullying No Way"
day. This is a time for students to discuss the impact of bullying
and have empathy towards the victims. All students will be
provided with strategies to overcome such acts. Our school
provides our students with a number of different coping strategies
to help students deal with bullies including the Rock and Water
program and Positive Behaviour for Learning. This week's topic is
"Keeping Me to Me." All of our learning opportunities will be
placed on our Facebook page and App.
As a courtesy, it is important that parents do not park in our
neighbour’s driveways at any time during the day. The school has
had many complaints re KSPS parents parking in driveways of
our neighbours. We understand the difficulty in parking, however
our neighbours have a right to access their own driveways. It is
also important that footpaths are kept clear. We thank you in
advance for your consideration and support in this manner.
Just a reminder that school starts at 9.10am. All rolls will be
marked at this time and submitted. Any student who enters the
school after this time must be signed in by a parent at the front
office. I would like to thank you for your assistance.

King Street is an Allergy Aware School
This is a reminder for all families that some of our
students have serious reactions to products
containing nuts and fish.
We ask that you please do not send foods or
containers to school that contain nut or fish
products. This includes nutella and peanut
butter spread.
Wellbeing of Students Valued
Please be aware that we have two immune-
suppressed students at our school.
If your child develops a contagious disease, please
let the school know ASAP so we can act
accordingly.
Please Respect our Neighbours
We would like to request that all families dropping off
or picking up students from school please refrain
from parking in driveways of those houses around
our school, both in Sussex and King Streets and
adjacent roadways.
We highly value our neighbours and ask that their
ability to enter or leave their homes is not restricted
at any time.
Please be KIND and SUPPORTIVE to all, especially
those in our surrounding community.
Changes to Roll Marking Procedure
All rolls will now be marked in the quad by
classroom teachers at 9.10am when the bell sounds.
We would like to remind all parents/carers that the
starting time for school is 9.10am and students are
required to be present at this time. If they arrive after
this time this will be deemed a late arrival.
In this case, it is a requirement that a
parent/carer accompany them to the office where
they will be marked late. Students are not able to
sign themselves in.
We thank you for your support.

National Young Leaders Day
On Monday, our School Captains joined thousands
of other student leaders from all over NSW at the
National Young Leaders Day at the International
Convention Centre in Darling Harbour. We heard
inspiring speakers including Tim Diamond (Cotton
On Foundation), Tamsim Janu (Author), Cate
Campbell (Olympian) and Holly Ferling (Cricketer).
Something I really liked about it was Holly Ferling's
quote - "embrace the scary, but exciting!". Abby
I was inspired by Tim Diamond's foundation raising
$90 million to help communities in Africa. Baxter
I was really impressed with Cate Campbell's
inspiring speech and all the hard work she had to
put in to achieve her Olympic gold medal. Brandon
I like hearing from the Author Tamsin, I learnt the
importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to
learn new things. Alissa

Kindergarten 2020 Enrolments Being Taken
Now
We would like to invite all parents with children who
will begin school next year to please contact our
office with your details. Similarly, if you have family,
friends or neighbours with children commencing in
2020 please encourage them to do the same.
A Kindergarten 2020 Information Evening will be
held on August 20th. We invite all parents/carers to
attend.
We are very happy to offer our Kindergarten
Transition Program again this year.
The 2020 Kindergarten Transition Program will run
for 8 weeks commencing on Thursday, 5th
September and conclude on Thursday 7th
November. As with previous years, children will
attend each Thursday during this time and have the
opportunity to meet our staff and the children they
will be starting school with, while becoming familiar
with our school environment.
If you have any questions about the Transition
Program, Information Evening or starting school in
general, please do not hesitate to contact our school
office.
Old Mobile Phone Donations
Over the coming terms, we would like to start using
mobile phone apps in our Science lessons. These
apps mostly come with the phones and would be a
great addition to our investigations. We would enjoy
using the timers, protractors, taking videos or photos
of investigations to further our learning.
If anyone has an old smart phone that they would
like to donate, they would be greatly appreciated.
Phones will need to be reset or wiped back to their
basic apps (I am able to do this if need be). Please
drop them into the office and I can collect them from
there.
Thank you for your help and support of our students
learning.

Donations Needed for Easter & Mother’s Day
Easter Raffle
The KSPS P&C organise a monster Easter Egg
Raffle every year which is drawn at the Easter Hat

families for donations of Easter Eggs to add to the
prize haul. All donations however big or small are
greatly appreciated and can be left at the office.
Mother’s Day Stall
Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May which
means we will be holding our Mother’s Day Stall in
Week 2 of Term 2. Any donations (new items only)
will be greatly appreciated!
These activities cannot be a success without the
generous support of our families.
Thank you,
P&C Fundraising Committee
Parent/Teacher Interviews
This year we will be holding Parent/Teacher/Student
Interviews in Week 9. Our format is changing slightly
this year to include students in this meeting. The
meetings will be learning goal based and a great
opportunity to show students that their success at
school is indeed a team effort involving themselves,
their parents and their teacher.
Notes have been sent home to request interview
times. We encourage you to return these as quickly
as possible to secure a time that suits. Your children
will come to the library in time to join your meeting.

Character Strengths Survey
An exciting initiative over the last 12 months at King
Street has been the implementation of Visible
Wellbeing lessons for our students. These lessons
involve exploring individual strengths. Part of these
lessons involve students undertaking a ‘character
strengths survey' in class.
You can find this survey at
http://www.viacharacter.org/www/Character-
Strengths-Survey#.
Please feel free to have a look at the survey and
we invite you to do it yourself! Not only is it a useful
tool for self-awareness, it is a great way to start
communication with your child regarding the lessons
they are participating in in the classroom.

Join us to say “Bullying. No Way! “Taken action every day”- Friday 15th March.
On Friday 15th March, 2019, our school will stand together against bullying violence to celebrate the National Day of
Action against Bullying and violence (NDA).
The NDA is Australia’s key anti-bullying event for schools. It is a positive day of action which strengthens our
everyday message here at King Street Public School that bullying and violence have no place.
At our school we have a range of programs in place to address bullying, including our Anti Bullying Policy. On Friday
15th March classes will be looking at ways to stop bullying, the impact that bullying has on people and what
strategies to use when they see bullying of others. Each student will receive a wrist band to show that they support
the day of action against bullying and violence along with a pocket card with tips for students. Parents/caregivers will
receive a pocket card to support you and your child.
The National Day of Action gives us the opportunity to teach students, staff and parents to work together as a
community ( parents, teachers, staff and students) to talk about bullying and finding workable solutions together to
address it.
Parents and carers are encouraged to visit the Bullying No Way! Website (www.bullyingnoway.gov.au) for advice and
useful information.
The National Day of Action is about bringing our community together and to recognise the importance of standing
together to say Bullying. No Way!
