A Message from our Principal, Ms Pantelis

Welcome to Term 3 Dear Parents, I trust that you all had a relaxing break. It is wonderful to see our students back at school, ready for a great term ahead. A special welcome to our new families who have joined the Burraneer Bay community. We have our very special 125 Year Anniversary celebrations this term and an opportunity for our entire school community to get involved. I will be taking leave for 4 weeks and Mrs Moss will relieve as Principal.

Thank you to the parents who have expressed interest in attending the Small Steps Seminar. This is a free Anxiety Awareness Program for parents that will be held at our school on Wednesday 5 September at 9:30am in the library. A flyer detailing the program is attached to this newsletter. If you are interested in attending, please contact the school office.

Warmest Regards, Ms.V.Pantelis

Deputy Principal’s Report

Burraneer Bay is a vibrant learning community where all students are actively engaged in a huge range of learning experiences. It is fantastic listening to students describe their Semester 1 highlights as they reflect on new possibilities, new challenges and new adventures for the term ahead. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm, their eagerness to learn and their excitement as they returned to school this week.

There are many exciting activities planned for all our students this term. All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be celebrating our 125 Year Anniversary on September 14 with a special presentation. Our Education Day celebrations will also take place on this day and will involve visits to our classrooms and our dance groups, our choirs and our bands will all be performing.

Students in K-2 will be participating in Gymnastics this term. Year 2 students will also be visiting the Science Centre in Wollongong and participating in Swim Scheme. Year 1 will be going to the Botany Bay Environmental Education Centre to look at features of our local area and to discuss the environment and our Kindergarten students will participate in their duckling experience before their excursion to Symbio at the end of the term.

Year 6 will visit State Parliament before heading off on their overnight camp to Canberra and the snow. Year 5 will visit Hyde Park Barracks and continue their Dance Sport lessons every Tuesday. Year 4 will visit the Maritime Museum and explore animation during their Digi Ed Incursion. Year 3 will visit the Nan Tien Temple.

TERM 3 – WEEK 1

125 YEARS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS and EDUCATION WEEK- OPEN DAY

SAVE THE DATE - September 14 We will be celebrating our 125 Years Anniversary and Education Day on Friday September 14th. Parents, grandparents and community members are invited to join us. We have organized special grade items and all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will showcase their talents. Our bands, dance groups and choirs will also perform. Visitors are invited to visit our classrooms and our library to see some of the students’ wonderful work. SUTHERLAND SHIRE SCHOOLS MUSIC FESTIVAL There are many students performing at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre as part of the Sutherland Shire Schools Music Festival in the coming weeks. All the boys and girls who are performing at a concert should be very proud of their achievements. This is the culmination of months of rehearsals. On Friday August 10 children will be performing at the Dance Extravaganza. On August 16, the Senior Primary Choir and Year 6 Dance group will be performing at the Music Festival and on August 22 our Junior Primary choir will be performing. Congratulations to all the children on their exceptional efforts. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated staff who involve themselves and give up their time to support BBPS students so that they are able to perform. PUBLIC SPEAKING During Term 3 our school is focusing on Public Speaking. All grades from Kindergarten to Year 6 will participate in class and grade competitions to prepare them for the School Public Speaking Competition on Friday September 7th. Public Speaking is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop their Speaking and Listening skills.

There are two speeches for each child to prepare. They each count for 50% of the mark

Prepared Speeches are to be written at home.

Impromptu Speeches will be practiced and prepared at school in the classroom.

Please remember that speeches are to be a persuasive text which includes an interesting introduction, a

set of reasons to support a point of view and a conclusion which sums up your point of view.

Four students from each stage will be chosen to compete in the school Public Speaking Competition. We

hope you enjoy writing and presenting your speeches!

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students receiving an adjustment and the level of adjustment they are receiving to access education on the same basis as other students. A flyer was sent out via SchoolEnews last term detailing the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data. Signed Parental permission is required for data to be included.

K-2 Assembly Roster Change Staff will be involved in Grade Planning over the next 2 weeks and as a result, we have had to make a minor change to the K-2 Assembly Roster. 2G will be running the K-2 assembly on Thursday August 2nd and KS will be running the K-2 assembly on Thursday August 9th

TERM 3 – WEEK 1

CRONULLA ZONE PSSA

Values: Teamwork, Fair Play, Excellence, Enjoyment, Respect

Players’ Code Rationale: Representing the school in PSSA Competitions provides an opportunity for talented athletes to extend their skills and compete against similarly skilled students from other schools. Representing the school is an honour and students have a responsibility to compete at all times in a manner that brings credit to themselves and their school. The following Code of Conduct has been devised to guide the achievement of this outcome.

Play for the fun of it.

Work equally hard for yourself and your team.

Be a good sport and encourage your fellow team members.

Cooperate at all times with your coach, team mates and opponents.

Compete by the rules and always abide by referees/umpires or touch judge decisions.

Control your temper and behaviour whilst on and off the playing field and make no criticism either by work or gesture.

Whilst on the sidelines do not touch any sporting equipment. Sit and support your participating school mates.

Be modest in success and generous in defeat (i.e. don’t show off when successful or be a bad sport when defeated).

Parents’/Spectators’ Code Rationale: The support of parents and spectators at PSSA events is a welcomed and highly valued contributor to students overall enjoyment of their involvement in school sport. The following Code of Conduct has been devised to ensure that high levels of student enjoyment are maintained.

Remember that children play sport for their enjoyment, not yours.

Encourage children to participate, do not force them.

Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.

Encourage children to always participate according to the rules and the officials’ decisions.

Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game. Positive comments are motivational.

Applaud good performance and efforts from each team and congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.

Show respect for your child’s opponents for without them there would be no game.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 7

TERM 3 – WEEK 1

Show appreciation of volunteer coaches, officials and administrators for without them, your child could not participate.

Do not publicly question the officials’ judgement and never their honesty.

If you disagree with an official raise the issue through the appropriate channels in writing rather than questioning the official’s judgement and honesty in public.

CONSEQUENCES RE BREAKING : CODES OF CONDUCT Students:

Should a student break the code of conduct that they have signed they must be prepared to accept both the responsibility for and the consequences resulting from their actions at sport. These include:

Possibly missing scheduled events; Being sent off and replaced for the remainder of a game Possible suspension from future Zone sporting events; Accepting consequences in line with the Cronulla Zone PSSA code of conduct and the Department

of Education’s code of conduct.

Parents/Spectators:

Should parents/spectators break the signed code of conduct they need to be prepared to accept both the responsibility for and the consequences resulting from their actions at a Cronulla Zone PSSA sporting event. These include:

Being asked to leave the premises or ground/park by a Zone teacher/Convener; Meeting with their school principal to discuss future attendance at Cronulla Zone PSSA sporting

events; Police being called and parents/spectators being charged with section 60E where Zone teachers

feel that student or teacher safety is threatened or intimidated by either verbal or physical abuse.
