Hello Everyone,

Welcome to week 8! It has been great

visiting classrooms this week and asking

students questions about their quality

learning and work they are producing.

Students are working hard to complete

their term unit tasks and are celebrating

success in their achievements thus far.

There is a lot on at KSPS in the final

weeks of the term with PLP meetings,

Fun Run and Fun Day!

School Review

We have been very lucky to

have the Regional Director of

Katherine and the Regional Director of

Darwin visit our school to conduct a

school review. Mr Trevor Watts and Miss

Aderyn Chatterton were welcomed by our

student leaders (Hannah, Declan, Libby

and Jade) yesterday morning. Our guests

have worked with school leadership,

teachers, support staff, admin, parents and

school council to gather evidence to

review KSPS against the National

improvement criteria. The review was

completed today and has been a very

valuable experience in having high

quality feedback about the great things

that are happening at KSPS and feedback

to consider for school improvement. A

report will be presented to the school with

our commendations, affirmations and

recommendations in the near future.

Thank you to everyone in our school

community who participated in this

process.

PLP Reviews

Next week teachers will

be conducting

personalised learning plan

review meetings with parents and

students. The meetings will be held to

review your child’s current progress

towards their targets, set new targets and

discuss new strategies for further

improvement. This is a valuable process

to know where your student is at with

their learning, where they are headed and

to identify their learning journey to reach

their goals. Notes have been sent home

with your child to inform you of the days

your teacher will be available to conduct

these meetings. I encourage you to please

contact the office to organise a time

review your child’s PLP.

Adidas School Fun Run

KSPS are holding our

Adidas School Fun Run

event tomorrow at 8:30am! I

encourage as many parents as possible to

attend this event and participate in the

run, by completing the running stations

with your child. Last year’s event was an

outstanding success and this year looks

like it will be even better. This is a

fundraising event for our school and

students thus far have done a very good

job in collecting sponsorship money for

their participation. I look forward to

seeing you here tomorrow.

Final consultation on school term dates

and holiday breaks

The Northern Territory

Government is undertaking

the third and final round of

consultation on proposed

changes to the school term

dates and holiday breaks for all NTG

schools. Have your say on which of the

three proposed models you believe will

provide the best opportunity for Northern

Territory students to achieve their highest

possible educational outcomes. Complete

the online survey (https://

www.surveymonkey.com/r/

schooltermdatesround3consultation)

and/or email [email protected] to

register to participate in a focus group to

discuss the

proposed change

to the school

term dates and

holiday breaks

in the Northern Territory. Focus groups

will be held from 21 September – 2

October 2015. Further details of the

location and times of these sessions will

be confirmed by Friday 11 September

2015.The online survey will be open from

7 September – 2 October 2015. The

results collected from the survey and

feedback provided from the focus groups

will inform the final decision. Any

change to the current model will be

implemented in 2018. No change will be

made to the school term dates and holiday

breaks prior to 2018, providing a two year

lead time to adequately prepare for the

revised model.

Last weeks answer:

Try to answer this:

Voiceless it cries.

Wingless it flutters.

What am I?

Have a great week,
