Thank you to all our visitors in particular to our

grandparents who visited our school for afternoon tea and

open classrooms. It was great to see the smiles on the

student’s faces as they presented their family members

with a healthy snack. Stage 2 enjoyed serving, while

Stage 3 and Stage 1 were delighted with their preparation

and cooking. Kindergarten had fun learning how to make

smoothies. There were many milk moustaches to be seen

in KL and KM. The support and partnership of the

University of Rural Health and Mr Ian Woodley is truly

appreciated by the Hillvue community. THANKS!

Thank you to our fabulous guest speakers last week. Kelly

Squires (dietician), Jessica Taggart & Zarayn Knight (from

Tamworth High School) and Kate Armstrong from the

Tamworth Regional Art Gallery).

WINTER IS STILL HERE

Even though we have had beautiful sunny days, the cold

weather is still here.

We have had many students looking for spare school

green jumpers at the clothing pool and the front office.

Sorry but our supplies particularly in the larger sizes have

been depleted.

We do have Jackets available for sale at the office for $60.

Our uniform is smart and it is lovely to look out over

assembly and see our students being Caring, Smart &

Proud by regularly wearing their full school uniform. Thank

you to parents and careers for making the effort.

9. How does Every Student, Every School: Learning and

Support relate to the trial in Illawarra and South East

Region?

A new model for supporting students with additional needs in regular classes was trialled in 221 schools in the Illawarra and South East Region from the start of Term 2, 2010. The trial was a response to continued lobbying and concern from parents, teachers and principals about the need to increase support for students with disability and additional needs in regular schools.

The model that was trialled was informed by extensive consultation since May 2009 and the work of a stakeholder reference group comprised of education, parent and community and union representatives.

The model that was trialled provided a specialist teacher and funding in every regular school to support students with low levels of additional learning needs and their classroom teachers. This was achieved by re-organising existing specialist resources that had related functions and allocating the resources directly to schools using formulae based on school size and student learning need. More information about the trial is available on the Department’s website at www.schools.nsw.edu.au/studentsupport/programs/

schoollearning/index.php.

Every Student, Every School: Learning and Support is different from the trial in Illawarra. While it builds on the experience and learning gained through the trial, Every Student, Every School is a broad strategy with five interrelated activities that are designed to be implemented together during 2012 and 2013.

These five interrelated activities are:

■ an extensive range of options for professional learning for teachers and other education personnel

■ enhanced support for students with low levels of additional learning and support need in regular classes through the establishment of a specialist learning and support teacher allocated to every regular school

■ establishing our special schools as centres of expertise through networked projects across schools

■ developing instruments and materials for teachers to use to better understand and meet additional learning and support needs of students, and

■ access to expert knowledge, improved information and support.

Every Student, Every School: Learning and Support will support the establishment of a specialist teacher in every regualr school, adjusted each triennium, to support students with low levels of additional needs as one part of our approach to strengthened learning and support across all schools. More than $39.4 million existing funding will be allocated directly to schools annually to support these students. The national partnership will provide additional support for regions and schools to transition to the new arrangements.

This is complemented with substantial professional learning

and support for a wide range of teachers, the development

of a new functional assessment tool and resources to

support teachers in all school settings to better understand

and respond to the learning and support needs of students,

linkages between specialist and regular schools and the

development of improved access to expert support and

information. PUBLIC SCHOOLS NSW – EVERY STUDENT,
