Hello, Giinagay, Hai,

DID YOU KNOW?

Our current and future work focus is:

Children being at the centre of all choice making

Every student, every teacher, every school, every leader improving

every year

Every child being known, valued and cared for in our school

Preparing young people to lead rewarding lives in an increasingly complex

world which includes:

A foundation in literacy and numeracy

Strong content knowledge

Ability to learn, adapt and be responsible citizens

Working in partnership with parents, communities and other

organisations

Making education a great place to learn and work

Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.

Indigenous Education

Many people wonder why Indigenous people can’t just “get over it” and “move on”.

Understanding how events of our shared past continue to impact many Indigenous

people in the form of intergenerational trauma; can shed light on the complexity of

the situation in many Indigenous families and communities.

Our pathway of knowledge is making a mob of difference; ‘we can do this as a

village’, together we can ensure that Indigenous kids get a world class education.

GROWING GUMBAYNGGIRR for us all to LEARN - The Gumbaynggirr ways of being,

knowing and learning are held in the Dreaming, this place of the

interconnectedness of all life on earth and in the universe. This is the place where

they abide with the great mystery and it is in this place where life is reversed, and

held sacred and promoted.. where all life is held in balance and alignment in

relationship with the land, with each other and with oneself.

Gumbaynggirr Pathways in Knowing and Learning through the Bush Tucker Track -

This is a way to navigate possible pathways towards a consciousness in ways of

being in relationships between original Gumbaynggirr people and all others who

are living on Gumbaynggirr lands. Creating this pathway holds the intention of the

possibility of living beyond concepts of relationships being lived from two worlds.

Why is it valuable to learn biodiversity through the pathway? - Through time and

space, Gumbaynggirr people and culture continues to live in the consciousness of

the WHOLE. They live in a web of relationships – social, stellar, and in nature, to

mention a few, all a part of an intricate alignment in which each being has a place.

The Pathway of Knowledge is an invitation to participate

in the exploration of our place lands which the name

Gumbaynggirr holds, with the support and facilitation of

those who carry the knowledge, whose ancestors have

passed on this knowing from generation to generation.

We are so proud of Ricky Buchanan who proudly led

cultural tours of the bush tucker track to local high

school students on Thursday. The pathway is doing its

work.

Out of School Hours Care (OOSH) Survey

Just a reminder to parents to send back the OOSH

Survey. We need to have a minimum of 30 families

interested in using the service, we are very close to this

number!

Donations—Our TAFE team have a few projects on the

go and we are looking for donations of pavers, bricks

and mosaic tiles. Please contact the office if you are

able to help.

Senior Excursion to Canberra

Term 3 Week 3—Monday 31st July to Friday 4th August

Please send in permission notes with medical consent by Friday 19th May.

If you are paying for the excursion by payment plan, then the next payment of $110.00

is due by Friday 19th May.

Cooler Weather

It’s coming into that time of year where the weather is getting cooler and there are a few

more bugs and germs around. We would like to remind parents that children who are

unwell need to stay at home. They need to rest and get better, not come to school

where they will feel terrible and pass on their germs to everyone else. We appreciate

your understanding. Also, just a reminder that children who are unwell for 3

consecutive days or more, a medical certificate must be obtained from your doctor.

Parents, please make sure your child’s name is written on their school jumper. If they

leave it somewhere, we will be able to give it back! At the moment we have several

jumpers in the sick bay area at the office.

Ethics Classes at SHPS for 3/4

Our school now has the ability to run Ethics classes for Year 3 and 4

students. This will be offered at the same time as non-scripture on

Fridays between 11.50 - 12.30pm. Notes have been sent home

today to the students who participate in non-scripture. If you are

interested in choosing Ethics for your child, please return the note by

Friday the 19th May.

Ethics classes are available in NSW public primary schools as an option for children who

do not attend Special Religious Education (SRE). The NSW government has authorised

Primary Ethics, a not-for profit organisation, to design curriculum and deliver these

classes to children from Kindergarten to Year 6.

In Ethics classes children discuss a wide variety of scenarios and stories, learning how

to think about ethical matters through the give-and-take of reasoned argument.

Ethics classes are an opportunity for children to develop skills in collaborative inquiry,

logical reasoning, critical thinking, respectful disagreement, listening and self-

expression. Children discuss topics such as; imagining how others feel, how do we treat

living things, being an ethical consumer, homelessness, fairness.

Thanks to Angie Evans who is our Ethics co-ordinator and to Janet Granek who is our

first trained volunteer Ethics teacher.

If you are interested in completing training to become a volunteer Ethics teacher, please

see Gillian. We will be able to offer Ethics classes across the school once we have more

trained volunteers.

Weekly Round Up

Community Tree Planting

On Wednesday 3 May, Indonesian visual artist Jumaadi visited

the school with his friend Agung to work with stage 2 and 3 on

the Indonesian visual arts unit they are currently undertaking

which is based on his work.

Jumaadi presented some of his shadow puppet techniques to

Year 3/4 and 5/6 and then ran a workshop for Year 5/6 in

creating a collaborative shadow puppet performance. Students

built on their knowledge of narrative structure and learnt about shadow effects, sound

effects, dynamics, and stage presence and movement within a performance. Within a very

short time span each group was able to come up with their own shadow puppet

performance. Students will now be working for the rest of the term on creating a shadow

puppet performance to present at the end of term assembly.

On Friday all classes went down to the Town Green to plant a variety of beautiful

native plants in recognition of all the wonderful women in their lives, celebrating

Mothers Day. We got to play in mushroom mulch, water crystals, dig holes and

mulch the new seedlings. Thank you to Moira Ryan and the Nambucca Shire

Council for including our future generation of budding gardeners.
