D irector’s Report

Dear Parents and Members of the Carranballac College Community

With only three more weeks before the end of term this is a good time for parents to reflect on how connected they are with the College and their children's learning. Education is a partnership between students, parents and staff and the key to this is the connectedness of parents. Parents who take responsibility for their children's learning and behaviour in partnership with the College stand a far better chance of ensuring their children's educational success. How has your son/daughter been going at school? Do you speak about the highlights of their day at the dinner ta-ble? Why not ask them what they learned that was interesting/new today? Who did they play with at recess/lunch? Did they solve any problems today? Keep a focus on the positives in order to build their resilience. Take the time to speak to your child's teacher if you sense a change or want to pass on a positive message. STAFFING Jamieson Way: Mrs Pell is on Long Service Leave until the end of term. We welcome Mrs Gault into her role and Mrs Pathak into EAL. Miss Hudson will be Team Leader of the 3/4 team. Mr Vasilevski is also on long service leave. Dur-ing his leave Mr Johnson will be taking his class whilst Miss Paten will be Team Leader. I would like to thank and congratulate our staff for the positive manner in which they have capably adapted to their new roles.

PARENTS and FRIENDS:

Congratulations again to our band of volunteer helpers. Although the movie night did not attract large numbers, all who attended commented favourably on what a great night it was. Well done team, thank you also to our staff for supporting and accommodating the event in the BER.

Next up will be the TRIVIA NIGHT. Fun and games for all who join in for a very affordable night out with many priz-es on offer. More information later in the newsletter/calendar. WHAT's ON, WHEN!!??

In semester one we posted the camps schedule for the first two terms under 'students' on the webpage. We apolo-gise for the late posting of semester two activities - they are now up on the web page. As we move over to our new integrated software management system - COMPASS , we will be able to post all College activities for parents and students to view on line. It is hoped to have this available for 2017 in Term 4 this year. We will keep you informed through the newsletter. Have you subscribed to the newsletter on line yet - 300 families have and it guarantees them access to College updates without having to dive into their children's school bags each night and accidentally finding that banana that has been there far too long! ROCK BAND:

A huge thank you to our Rock Band, to Barry and Gaye, to our rocking parents (for their continued support). Rock band performances took place at Jamieson Way on Friday afternoon AND on Sunday at the Saltwater Community Centre. SPORT: Oh what an incredibly amazing and complex job our Physical Education staff, leadership, staff, student leaders and students do in order to provide sport opportunities at the College. Badminton, Soccer, Basketball, Athletics and the list goes on. Last week's Year 7 to 9 athletics at Newport was a celebration of the successful planning and prepara-tion put in by our two key co-ordinators: Mrs Huell and Miss Russell. Well done. Special thanks also to our chefs and young chefs, all pre-service teachers in attendance on the day as well as to all parents who attended in support. ELECTIVES:

Year 9 students will have an opportunity to select subjects from a range of electives in second semester. Mrs Hall has been working with all Specialist staff to develop the curriculum program blurbs from which students will get a content and purpose overview. This is an exciting time for our Year 9 cohort as they prepare for their senior years in Years 10, 11 and 12. If you have any questions please address them to Mrs Hall. Have a great fortnight and please keep an eye on the web page.

B oardwalk School Report

I attended another wonderful Athletics Carnival on Friday for our Year 7/8/9 students. I was delighted to witness such high levels of student participation and sportsmanship. I also noted a fabulous connec-tion between our two schools as students competed in a friendly but determined way in each of their events. Congratulations to Carolyn Huell and Yolanda Russell for their organization of this mammoth event. Thanks also to our very supportive staff and Pre Ser-vice Teachers who assisted on this day.

There is a new line of track suit pants now available at PSW; a great addition to our uniform for the cool-er months. Our college is still consulting with our students and families for a choice of outside jack-ets. Compliance to our school uniform each day shows pride and respect for selves and our school community.

Improvement in attendance and punctuality is also noted. Lessons begin promptly at 8.45am every day so being prompt is essential to maximise the learning of all students.

Our students are continuing to make use of the Point Cook oval at lunch times while our school oval is un-der construction. The use of this wonderful facility is made possible by Wyndham Council through weekly application and negotiation from Carolyn Huell.

Keeping our limited school space litter free will en-hance the look of our school and enrich our pride in our school environment. Keep up the good effort please everyone!

Our annual school photo day is this Thursday, with family photos occurring on Friday. A great keepsake as the years fly by.

Acting Principal

J amieson Way School Report

Well done to all involved in our Years 7-9 Ath-letics last week. We are very proud of our competitors and the attitude and sportsman-ship they displayed. A huge thank you to Ms Russell for her amazing organisation, to all our staff and preservice teachers who sup-ported her and to our wonderful Mr Sullivan for cooking up a storm of sizzling sausages! Our Year 3/4 students are definitely scientists of the future after their learning experiences during their science incursion this week. Curi-osity and engagement increase the level of learning- great job Year 3/4- now we hold high expectations for the work that will be generated from this incursion. Our College Rock Band and our Junior Rock Band performed for all Jamieson Way stu-dents last Friday in our gym. It is truly amaz-ing to see the confidence and personal growth of these talented students, especially our junior band. Congratulations on a great performance! Winter is upon us...... And our lost property area holds many jumpers. Items that are clearly labelled will be returned to your child's classroom. Thank you to those families who make this task easy for us! Reading is a great winter activity - is your child signed up in the Premier's Reading Chal-lenge yet? Consider the amount of time your child is en-gaged in family activities this coming long weekend and consider the amount of time they are 'on screen'. Enjoy the long weekend as a family.

What people are saying… What a relief to come across a program that preserves the dignity of the child, maintains

the self control of both the parent and the child and is actually easy to remember when memory is the first thing to

go!

raising a child, who later down the line, needs excessive discipline or grows out of control

Who is running it?

Thanks to the many families who attended and a huge congratulations to Alex Colston-Ing and Barry Davies for their wonderful tui-tion of these young musicians. Nadia and Dylan also performed. They are now in Year 12 at Point Cook Senior but were also members

of Minor Sensation. It's great to see these young adults still performing music in our local community. It was lovely to welcome back Maddie and Carle who were in our rock band last year and also performed at the Saltwater Community Centre gig.

Congratulations to our talented band, Minor Sensation who were the headline act for the fifth birthday celebrations of the Saltwater Community Centre on Sunday. A huge thank you to Barry Davies for his ongoing support and direction with these talented musicians.

T hey’re Back...

Dear Parents/ Guardians/ Carers

It has come to our attention that some students in the school may have head lice and I seek

your cooperation in checking your child’s hair this week.

Head lice do not transmit infectious diseases – they are transmitted by having head to head

contact with someone who has head lice. You may be reassured to know that head lice are

commonly found in places other than in schools. Head lice are common in school-aged children

and are the most adaptable of creatures. They have survived living solely on humans for 10,000

years!!!!

What can you do?

We seek your cooperation in checking your child’s hair and in those instances where head lice

or eggs are found, treating your child’s hair.

Please see the information at http://www.health.vic.gov.au/headlice/ to help with the detection

and treatment of head lice. Please feel free to talk to me about any problems you are experi-

encing with treatment.

If head lice or eggs are found on your child’s hair you need to inform:

The College and advise when the treatment has started.

Parents or carers of your child’s friends so they too have the opportunity to detect and treat

their children if necessary.

When can my child return to school?

Health regulations requires that where a child has head lice, that child should not return to

school until the day after appropriate treatment has started. Please note, this refers only to

those children who have live head lice and does not refer to head lice eggs.

Carranballac P-9 College is aware that head lice can be a sensitive issue and is committed to

maintaining your confidentiality.

Kind regards

CULTURAL DIVERSITY WEEK

Monday 20 June - Friday 24 June

We have many excited students who can’t wait to celebrate our ‘CULTURAL DIVERSITY WEEK’. This is taking place in the last week of Term 2 from Monday 20 June – Friday 24 June. The week is devoted to having fun learning about and celebrating the diversity of cultures we have here Carranballac College.

Class levels have begun planning and preparing activities, beginning with their ‘creative door displays’.

Our Foundation/One students are covering China, the Year 2’s Japan, the Year 3/4’s India and the Year

5/6 students are covering Vietnam. Our fabulous students in Years 7, 8 and 9 are presenting a range of

cultural information either as a powerpoint presentation, a poster or maybe they’ve chosen to share a

dance that they’ve learned.

Throughout the week everyone will have the opportunity to be involved in Sumo Wrestling, Bollywood dancing, Cultural games, Henna Hand Designs, Greetings, Indian Rangoli creations, Drum Beat, Japa-nese Dancing, Chinese doll and Dragon making for example. The Choir will be performing, along with our African drums which will be parading around the schools. Fabulous Fun!!

Mr Coffey and Mrs Evans our Japanese Year 2 and F/1 teachers are planning a performance for the families of students in these levels to attend. The students are preparing their invitations and you will be receiving them very shortly.

During our Cultural Diversity Week, l’m sure you will have many excited children coming home wishing to share a wealth of information that they’ve learnt throughout the day, be it ‘fun facts, songs or dance moves’. Enjoy!
