COLLEGE FETE—WEDNESDAY 19th SEPTEMBER Starting at 10am until 2pm

Across the school today, signage has been prominently displayed and many conversations have taken place at all levels in regards to the importance of talking about our feelings. Maybe take the opportunity today to turn to someone you care about and simply ask ‘Are you ok?’ Let’s Talk About Things That Are Important… Respectful language, kindness, care, bullying, mental health, respect, emotional intelligence….. Discussions around these important topics has got to start somewhere and what better place than school, home and the work place? Throughout term 4, we are very keen to raise the profile and understanding of top-ics/subjects that we sometimes have trouble discussing (ie mental health), or think that everyone understands when they possibly don’t (ie bullying or showing kindness). We cannot just simply assume in a school setting that every child has the same level of understanding when it comes to these topics and through raising awareness and talking about things in a consistent manner, we can build an understanding of what the expecta-tion is at East Loddon P-12 College. You will also have expectations in the home or in your own work place, sporting club or the like. These expectations may be around language, interactions and/or behaviours and it is important that we consistently reflect upon these expectations and on the reality of what we display, allow or ‘sweep under the carpet’. Throughout this week it would be great if families undertook a relatively simple ‘homework’ task. See if you can have a meaningful conversation around the dinner table about the following question - What is ‘RESPECT’? There is a mailbox in the College Office for anyone who wishes to share their responses with the College. Parent Opinion Survey – Thankyou To All Who Provided Feedback Thanks are extended to all parents who were able to successfully submit responses for our parent opinion survey. We look forward to receiving this feedback by the end of term and reflecting on our College from the perspective of our parent cohort. Get Your Kettle On! – Let’s Help Georgia Get To Spain!!! A ‘Go-fund-me’ page has been set-up for our champion kettle-bell lifter and year 9 East Loddon P-12 College student Georgia Welsh. Georgia is a current world champion and is aiming to travel to Spain in November to defend her title, after excelling in world championship event in Denmark (2016) and Italy (2017). Georgia’s fam-ily are the type that do a tremendous amount for others, being involved in many voluntary roles within the community. We would now love to be able to do something wonderful for them and assist in getting Georgia to her next world-level event.

COLLEGE FETE—WEDNESDAY 19th SEPTEMBER Starting at 10am until 2pm

Assistant Principals News

If it’s not going to rain, it may as well be like this. What a top spell of weather this week. It serves as a bit of a

reminder that next term is a hats outside term. Please dig out your child’s green bucket or broad rim hat,

give it a wash if necessary and have it in the bag, ready to go for day 1, term 4. We always have a bit of

leeway for this, but essentially we shouldn’t need to. Start wearing them now if you like. If you can’t find the

school hat, we will have them on sale at the College.

Not sure if you are aware of this but……. ITS FETE DAY NEXT WEDNESDAY whoop whoop. This usually heralds

a bucket load of rain and cold weather. Last fete was the start of flood season. This year it’s going to be

different though. We are expecting 170 C so that should be pleasant. Here’s some things to prepare for……

The Year 6’s are running a hole in one comp with the help of keen golfer and groundsman Ricky Wright.

Anyone can play even if you are terrible at sport. You simply buy a golf ball for a dollar, put your name on it

in texta, pop it in the bucket of Ricky’s front end loader, then he will tip the bucket toward a golf hole.

Closest to the hole wins. They will have a few goes during the day with voucher prizes and a grand prize at

the end of the day, being a ‘Mystery Flight’. Actually it’s not that much of a mystery. Ned’s dad has a plane

and he will take the winner for a joy flight over our district. Spew bag included.

EastLoddibald Prize has caused some nervousness amongst participants and prospective participants. Please,

please, be reassured, it doesn’t matter whether your picture looks like the subject. Any art gallery is living

proof of this. Just get it done and get it ready by fete day. Judging will be in the hands of attendees at the

fete, so anyone can win it.

Last call for rocker cover racers too. Get them in. Whilst you are at it, get baking CREAM PUFFS are on the

menu this year. There has been a few discussions about what these are as there are clearly a few versions of

what constitutes a cream puff. If you are a baker, enter your own version. We will decide if it is the best or

not. Maybe yours is like an éclair, maybe more like a sponge kiss, it’s up to you.

In footy news ‘ha ha Geelong and Sydney’.

Other than that, there’s not much on. Just winding down to the holidays.

See you all at the fete, bring nanna and pop along for the day.

Last Thursday September 6th, the P-4 classes

listened to the Eurofest Choir. They also

participated in doing actions for ‘Mein

Hut der hat drei Ecken’ and danced as the

choir sang ‘Bruderchen, komm tanz mit mir’.

The choir members were very impressed

with how well the students listened and

participated. Sehr gut, P-4 Klassen.

Calves in the College We had two gorgeous calves arrive at the College this week! A big thank you to the Hicks family for lending us two calves (names TBC) for the last two weeks of term. Our Year 9 and 10 students have put in a HUGE effort with Mrs Maxted to plan and build some impressive structures to house our calves and have been working on projects in class to match. As they say, many hands make light work and we’ve had a great deal of volunteers from lower primary all the way through to senior secondary to help feed our calves twice a day! I was lucky enough to take 5 boys from Grade Four out yesterday afternoon! It was a bit slobbery, but fun all the same! If you’re around for the fete, take a walk over near the pizza ovens to say hi to our fury friends! Miss Pilkington Science Co-Ordinator

In Week 3 of next term, 5 Grade 5 students (Ava, Marley, Lachie, Chloe and Matilda) will attend the 2018 Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids conference. These five students will present a workshop titled ‘water doesn’t grow on trees’ which will be based around the importance of water for our rural farming communities. These students have already put in a large amount of work in planning and preparing their workshop and have made some great progress. As we get closer to heading to the conference we will be inviting students and teachers to participate in our workshop.. We have been extremely fortunate to have two groups sponsor this conference which has made it possible for us all to attend. We would like to thank, Coliban Water for their financial support and their knowledge in all things water! We would also like to thank AW Harvesting for their financial contributions and expertise on all things farming and water related. Without people like this, our attendance at state wide conference’s like this would prove far more difficult!

) Literacy Hints

We select books for different purposes. Challenging tests. On occasions, teachers will ask students to read a challenging text, the main reason for this is for assessing what strategies the student know and uses. It is important that these texts are used sparingly as they can create frustrations. Instruction texts These texts are used specifically to teach student to use strategies such as making informed predictions and implementing monitoring strategies. Easy texts These texts are useful for building confidence, and when the focus is on developing features such as fluency, use of punctuation and a ‘reader’s voice. We often encourage beginning readers (Prep and Year 1s) to have and share an Instructional and an Easy book, the latter for the reasons men-

tioned above. Please don’t worry if your child has a familiar book a few times, it is only when they know it from memory that it’s certainly time for a change. Department School Nurse Visit Thanks for returning permission forms (Preps and teacher referrals). The nurse has completed two days and will return tomorrow week to complete the testing. Parents will be notified of the results. Detecting problems with either vision or hearing can make a significant difference for children. Please have your child’s vision tested every second year. Prep Sounds in Focus This week our Preps are consolidating the following sounds: ‘Ss’ as in ‘Seals swim, seals slide’ (including the ends of words such as miss, mess and toss), and the ‘Ff’ (f and ff) as in ‘Five fat fish). Words in Focus Our words this week revolve around our Maths money theme ‘Shops and Shopping’ and include: money, coins, dollars, cents and buy. SRC Initiative R U OK?

This morning members of our SRC visited our classes to share the

message R U OK? And how we can support each other when we’re

having an ‘ordinary’ day. They introduced us to a great kid’s video

with a catchy song and message, it’s well worth taking a moment to share as a family.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09qk0lXTfi4 Thanks to our SRC and Ms Harrington for showing how much you care.

CHAPPO’S CHAT SPACE My work at East Loddon P-12 College is to be a listening ear, to offer support, give information, counsel, offer practical assistance, refer to outside agencies and provide advocacy when necessary. I find the work both very challenging and a privilege, as I am allowed into a place of intimacy in relationships that few experience. I have now been the Chaplain at East Loddon College for the last 11 years. The annual amount of federal funding has not altered in that time. The annual funding is now no longer enough to cover the costs of having a chaplain and therefore the College is now hav-ing to subsidise the cost to meet the annual fees. To assist the College in covering the short fall in funding our Chaplaincy program, the Chaplaincy Committee is holding a raffle to be drawn at College Fete on the 19th of September. 1st prise is a Megaboom Portable Bluetooth Speaker

2nd Prise is a JBL Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

3rd prize is a food hamper

I would encourage you all to get behind this fundraiser so as to assist our College in covering some of the shortfall for this vital program in our College. If you have a book of tickets could you please have your books and money into the College office no later than Monday the 17th of September. Our Chaplaincy Committee is in the process of being reformed. The Chaplaincy Committee is vital organization in assisting the Chaplain and helping the College raise the extra funds to cover the short fall of monies needed to keep the program in the College. We are having a community meeting on the 18th of October at 12.45 at East Loddon P-12 College to reform the Committee. If you would like to be part of this committee or to come and give some input, please accept this as your personal invitation to attend. FROG

KFC – Kids Friday Club Term 3

KFC this term has been enjoyed with lessons in how God is powerful, a healer, transformer and a protector ! The crafts have followed this theme with a boat in a storm, caterpillar/butterfly and a frog.

All Prep to Year 6 students are welcome to come along to KFC. For registration forms/KFC newsletters or en-

quiries please contact one of the leaders listed below.

During Term 3, KFC will be running its annual fund raiser for charity. We usually do a ‘Loose Change Chal-

lenge’ (collect loose change) but this year we are supporting 2 Pairs Each. Josh Berry, a 12 year old boy,

started 2 Pairs each when he was 9 in an endeavour to care for the homeless by supplying pairs of warm

socks. His aim is to provide 50,000 pairs of socks and is on track with nearly 19,000 pairs already. So, KFC chil-

dren can either collect Loose Change to buy socks or purchase the socks themselves and bring them to

KFC during Term 3.

'Understanding Teen Sleep and Its Impact on Learning and Mental Health' Dr Chris Seton

Topic Summary

This presentation details the multiple factors that cause teens to be chronically sleep deprived

which results in multiple physical and mental health problems. Teenagers place little value on

sleep, and are generally poor sleep managers. Learn how to implement strategies that build

resilient sleep, which in turn protects teenagers from stress induced mood disorders and opti-

mises learning outcomes.
