Room 13 is packed with talent as demonstrated in our Assembly. We had magicians, singers and actors share their talents on the day. We are learning that success means having a red-hot go!
In Science we are learning about the relative positions of the planets in our Solar System. We under-stand that “the first planets are *close+ together” (Carissa Brennan) and the last four planets “are more spread out” (Izak Bottrell).
We have been studying author Julia Donaldson. Here is some of our amazing work!

Dear Parents & Carers,
Next week our students Semester 1 Reports will be handed out. I would like to acknowledge the
dedication our staff have in highlighting to our children to need develop the right attitude to learning.
Our staff assist children to develop a positive ―Mindset,‖ through our ―You Can Do It‖ program and
emotional coaching when they are faced with challenging situations. Over the past couple of weeks,
Teachers have been undertaking Parent/Teacher interviews. As parents, we can support our child‘s
learning progress when faced with a grade they are disappointed with by focusing on what they are
learning, rather than how they feel. We model every day when we come across a task that hasn‘t
turned out the way we thought by trying out new ways of doing things. Our responses support our
children on how we can improve and manage future goals.
We have a very busy week next week, with our Assembly being held on Thursday. Friday is our Cross
Country and SKPS Fun Run. Our P & C will host a Parent Morning Tea next Friday and welcome all
families to join them in the Parent Room at 10:00am until 11:00am for a cuppa.
In Term 3, students will undertake swimming lessons for 4 weeks commencing Week 5. All swimming
enrolment notes are due back by next Thursday the 30th June. No enrolments will be accepted after
this date. The fees for swimming lessons will be due the 4th of August.
The first two days of Term 3 are Professional Development Days for staff and therefore are pupil free
days, students commence Wednesday 20th July. I would like to take this opportunity to wish our school
community, staff, parents, carers and students a very safe and happy holiday.
Regards
Katherine Grant Principal

From 18th—29th July 2016, some of our final year students from the Curtin University, Bachelor of

permission will be sought prior to any treatment undertaken by one of these students. The dental

direction of qualified dental professional in this clinic continuing to provide high

Please feel free to discuss and concerns with our clinic staff.
We thank you for being supportive of our Student Placement Program.
Parents of young children are very welcome to come along to the Parent Room on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 8:30am and 10:00am to have a cuppa and join in the South Kalg Playgroup.

Please call into the office for an application. We will
also require a copy of your child‘s birth certificate,

Burley Sekem & WA Football Commission's 'Design a Football Jumper' competition
Each year the WAFC, in conjunction with Burley Sekem, run a ‗Design a Jumper‘ competition for primary schools across WA. The competition is open from Term 1, with schools submitting their best two jumper designs by the conclusion of week four of term 2. There are two categories: one for regional schools and one for metropolitan schools. The jumpers are displayed at Domain Stadium and voted on by WAFC staff and stakeholders.
There were over 100 registrations for this year‘s competition. We are lucky here at South Kalgoorlie Primary School as our design by Rebekah Carter came Runner Up! Normally the football commission would only award the prize to the winners but they felt like our school also deserved to win. Our school will now receive a set of football jumpers in the winning design later this term. Rebekah has also won a pass for her family to see the Dockers play Geelong at Domain Stadium in the school holidays.
I would also like to acknowledge our school‘s other entry from Georgie Anderson.
