Principal’s Message

Disco Inferno - it was a hot night!

What a great night it was and what

amazing costumes people wore! Our MC

Charisma had us all under control and

tested our knowledge of trivia. The night

raised around $20 000. This event was

coordinated by our wonderful social

committee leaders Alex Curtis and Amelia

Hesketh. Thanks also go to the following

people:

Social Committee members – Julia

Mullen, Sam Sachs, Brooke Younger,

Danielle Boots, Jenn Steadson,

Francesca Reynolds, Di Hughes,

Catherine Dickinson and Annabelle

Woodhouse

Teachers and class parents – for the

fantastic class artworks

Elizabeth Sullivan – for the beautiful

artwork she created that was auctioned

on the night

Angie Mustaca and Katrin Cornell

(Deputy Principals) – for assisting with organisation

Local businesses and parents – for the donation of prizes

Special thanks go to Stone Real Estate for being our major sponsors

who made significant donations towards our main prizes and for

providing Wayne Shapiro as our auctioneer on the night.

Thank you for your support of this event which was both a success in

promoting community spirit and fundraising.

World Teachers’ Day – Friday 26 Oct

This Friday we will celebrate World Teachers’

Day. Every day, teachers are making a positive

difference through creating opportunities for

their students, empowering minds of young

people and proudly teaching our state's future

leaders, innovators and influencers.

World Teachers' Day is a wonderful opportunity

to celebrate and thank teachers for the

important role they play across our state —

inside our classrooms and out in the community.

Presentation Day Assemblies – save the dates

Please save the date for your child’s Presentation Day Assembly to be held later this term:

Monday 10 December: 9:30am – 11am for Early Stage 1 (Kindergarten)

Tuesday 11 December: 9:30am – 11am for Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2)

Wednesday 12 December: 9:30am – 11am for Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4)

Thursday 13 December: 9:30am – 11am for Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6)

Tuesday 18 December: Year 6 Graduation Assembly and Stage 3 Disco evening

This year, we are changing the award structure for our Presentation Day Assemblies. The change will be

that all years from Kinder to Year 6 will be selecting seven award winners per class. This is different to

previous years where all students in K-2 received a Certificate of Achievement and only Years 3-6

received class awards. The change reflects our focus on Growth Mindset and Resilience. The seven

awards consist of two academic achievement awards, two achievement in any Key Learning Area, two

teacher nominated awards (can be for improvement, application, growth mindset or other reason) and

one citizenship award.

School Uniform

Thank you for your efforts in dressing students in our summer uniform this term. They look smart. Here

are a few reminders:

Sport shoes may only be worn with the sports uniform, black shoes must be worn with the school

uniform.

Long sleeved tops must not be worn under tunics or short sleeved shirts. For warmth, student

should wear a school jacket or jumper. Tights or leggings are not part of the summer uniform and

must not be worn. Girls wear white socks and boys wear grey socks.

K-6 BOOK CHARACTER PARADE

Wednesday 7 November 2018

9:00 am – 10:30 am

Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our celebrations for Children’s Book Week, Lindfield Public School will be holding its

annual Book Character Parade on Wednesday 7 November 2018. The parade will take place near

the pool area and start as soon as possible after 9am. Parents and carers are welcome to attend and are

asked to keep the path in front of the pool seats and the stage itself clear to allow room for the parade.

All classes will take turns parading around the outside of the playground and across the stage, so there

will be plenty of opportunities for photos!

Costumes do not need to be extravagant. If you are looking for inspiration, this year’s Children’s Book

Week theme is ‘Find Your Treasure’. If possible, bring the book along or print out the front cover! Any

props such as baskets, wands, walking sticks, glasses are welcome during the parade. There are to be

NO toy weapons (swords, Nerf guns, etc).

We are not requesting a gold coin donation.

The classroom teachers will be choosing the ‘best dressed’ student in their class for an award.

We hope you can join us for this enjoyable event!

Kind regards,

Renee Chapman and Ros Fuller

Work on Display

Anaphylaxis at Lindfield Public School At Lindfield Public School in 2018, we have a small number of children with a potentially life threatening

allergic reaction. They are found across our school from Kindergarten to Year 6.

How can parents help these children?

If possible, choose alternative sandwich spreads to peanut butter and Nutella. If you have

no alternative, inform your child that these foods can trigger an anaphylactic reaction.

Reinforce the school’s NO FOOD SHARING message.

Please note, no students are allowed to bring

glass bottles to school for safety reasons

Student Writing Samples

Please enjoy some writing samples from our wonderful students in 6D who

have been using the ‘Seven Steps to Writing Success’ program

Coral

Coral sits in sky blue ocean Spread across mossy rocks.

Woosh, the daily pass of clownfish Splash past leaving a trail of bubbly water.

Seaweed surrounds the multi-coloured bombs. Rays of sunlight warm water And slowly draining colour.

Still coral sits beautifully in the peaceful ocean. By Nina C

A Turtle’s Life

The young hatchlings emerge from the sand.

Climbing out of the nest, rushing to get to the ocean. As they scuttle along the sand the birds come and scoop them up,

one by one.

As one turtle manages to glide towards the ocean, it swims far out in the bright blue ocean

SPLASH it enjoys the world it just came into.

When you go swimming with these beautiful creatures You can hear its heart beating in a sing song tune

That is majestic and impossible not to adore It has a friendly soul and a gentle nature.

The love it holds is unbeatable.

It’s like a magnet pulling you towards it. Its body is covered in beautiful colours and patterns. It lives a lovely life until the mad men come.

It sees a dark figure above. SPLOSH it tries to swim away, but a net holds it back… The creature is dragged upwards. Before it takes its final blink it remembers the lovely life it had, before

the mad men took that life away. By Cambrie T

The Real Unicorn

‘CRASH, SHATTER’!

Forty nine times we escaped that beast The whole school including me, It had grey skin and sharp teeth

And the horn of a unicorn. It’s the unicorn of the sea

It killed half the squad, But luckily not me. ‘SMASH BANG’! ‘CRASH CLANG’!

It comes closer It swims deeper

Shatter… The blue and grey beast

With the breath of the dead Is beautiful, is a narwhale

‘STAB’! By Jack G

A BIG THANK YOU

To all of those parents, carers and others who supported our Trivia Night and Fundraising

Auctions (both online and in person).

As well as being an opportunity for parents to socialise and to purchase artworks done by each class, it

has helped raise funds for important school projects.

There is still some final work to be done but it looks like we raised close to $20,000 for these works,

which include plans for an outdoor learning area and for plants and more shade on Palm playground.

We could not have done it without the hard work of the Social and Fundraising Committee, those who

helped on the night and with arranging the auctions, and our sponsors and those who donated prizes.

PAVERS

As seen in last week’s Lines, the installation of the engraved pavers, is coming along well. The pavers

are part of safer pedestrian access next to the Grosvenor Street car park. We can’t wait to see it

finished.

CANTEEN

Please help out at the Canteen for a couple of hours this term. It is an important service for the school

and can’t operate without the help of volunteers.

It’s a great way to meet other parents and contribute to the school community and the children love

seeing their parent or carer on Canteen.

LINDFIELD VILLAGE HUB

Ku-ring-gai Council is seeking feedback on the Lindfield Village Hub project. More information is

available at http://www.kmc.nsw.gov.au/Current_projects_priorities/Key_priorities/Activate_Ku-ring-

Dr Kristy Goodwin is a leading digital parenting educator, researcher, author & former teacher (and mum who deals with her kids’ techno-tantrums). She translates the latest research into essential information and tips, for parents, educators and health professionals so that they can safely navigate the digital terrain... without suggesting that kids be ‘digitally amputated’! Kristy has spoken at and consulted with schools throughout Australia and Asia, she’s regularly called on by the media for her expert opinion.

WITH

An event open to the public, proudly hosted by Pymble Public School

Dr Kristy Goodwin translates the latest research about how technology is shaping childhood into essential information and realistic advice for parents.… and no she won’t suggest that you ban the iPad, or unplug the TV!

Parents will understand the latest risks to kids’ online safety and digital wellbeing (including why kids have become obsessed with Fortnite, the current cyber-safety risks for primary students, how to prevent and deal with cyber-bullying, screen ‘addiction’ concerns and exposure to pornography) as well as the health and learning implications of young kids growing up in a world of screens. Kristy will share her simple formula to calculate healthy screen-time limits, will arm parents with a host of strategies and ideas to prevent techno-tantrums and will discuss whether we should use screen-time as a reward or punishment tool.

Ditch the guilt & guesswork. You’ll leave being able to make informed decisions about how to best manage screen-time at home, so that it doesn’t always end in ‘scream time’.

Casual Work School Crossing Supervisors – Work with your community 1 x Casual position – Ku-Ring-Gai Local Government Area (00006J2K)

An important person in a child’s school life is the School Crossing Supervisor, who ensures they cross the road

safely. The role requires minimal hours out of your day and gives something worthwhile back to the community.

The hours are usually 8.00am to 9.30am and/or 2.30pm to 4.00pm Monday to Friday during school terms.

You would be required to work a minimum of one, one hour shift as and when required. The base rate is

$27.62 per hour.

All the qualifications you need are community spirit, good communication skills, an alert and professional attitude to

work and a reliable personality. The casual hours and school holidays would suit a parent or grandparent, a retiree or
