Governing Council

The Governing Council have voted that there will be no

increase to school fees in 2018 and have kept the Materials

and Service charges at $350. This will be the second year

that we have polled the community as this allows us to

legally recover the full $350 standard sum. The School

community were invited to attend the Governing Council

meeting on Tuesday night, 31st October, to discuss the 2018

Materials & Services fees. The Governing Council

unanimously endorsed the M&S fees at $350 per student

for the 2018 school year. An explanation letter and a voting

slip will be posted home to all families on Friday 10th

November. Each family is entitled to one vote per student

attending Salisbury Heights in 2018. The voting slip must

be returned to Sue McKee, the returning officer, or to the

Front Office by Friday 24th

November.

Two members of the Governing Council will be counting

votes on Monday 27th

November and parents will be

notified of the outcome as soon as practical through the

newsletter, SMS and email.

Please note all families leaving Salisbury Heights at the

end of this year are not required to complete the voting slip

and will not receive a polling letter.

Thank you for your support.

Charities Day

We are hoping by the time you receive the newsletter we

will have had another successful Charities Day. This is one

of the favourite days on the calendar for many of our staff

and students. All the children and staff are quite excited and

have been working on their stalls. The students develop

many great skills while getting set up for Charities Day as

well as nurturing a sense of social responsibility to look

after others less fortunate than themselves. Children have

been busy advertising the stalls they are running on

Charities Day.

Students will be able to select from a variety of food, games

and stalls to purchase things. Hopefully the weather will

also be kind to us. Thanks to all the community for your

support with donations and money to buy from the stalls.

We will be presenting cheques to this year’s charities at

assembly over the next couple of weeks. This year the

students have chosen to support Women’s and Children’s

Hospital Foundation and the Animal Welfare League.

Remembrance Day Assembly

On Wednesday 15th

November we will

be holding our Remembrance Day

assembly. It is always a very moving

assembly and very important in educating our students to

understand the significance of those who gave their lives so

ours could be better. We always have good parent

attendance at this assembly. This year we will hold our

acknowledgement on the first Wednesday after the actual

day, 15th

November.

Parent Helper Morning Tea –

Thursday 16th

November

Invitations have gone out to parents and

volunteers who have given their time to

support the school in many different

ways. If you have volunteered in some way and have not

received your invitation please pop into the office and

collect one. It is always a very pleasant time and a very

important chance for us to say thank you to our wonderful

volunteers and acknowledge the amazing contribution they

Amber Arruzzolo – Student Wellbeing Leader

Confidence is our program achieve focus key for term 4.

Confidence is about:

- Academic Confidence

- Accepting myself

- Taking risks

- Being independent

- Believing ‘I can do it!’

At Salisbury Heights, children will have many

opportunities in this very busy term to further develop their

confidence when performing at our school assemblies,

Christmas concert and in all of their learning to finish off

the year. Along with our Confidence Key students are

continuing to develop their ‘Growth Mindsets’ – using all

of the keys together to be persistent and not give up, further

develop self-esteem and improve learning outcomes and

work habits – using the term ‘Not Yet…’.

"Excellence and Care"

Room 7 has been

busy this year

and would like to

share some of our

favourite

moments from

2017

OUR CARE

BEARS

Care Bears are Teddies which

we made with shredded paper,

a sock, 4 rubber bands, 2 pom

poms, 2 eyes, 2 pop sticks and

a piece of paper. We did it in

Week 3 Term 1. We had snow

in our class with the shredded

paper while stuffing our

teddies with it. We had lots of

fun making them and wrote a

story about it. – Anabelle,

Jema, Keli

SWIMMING DIARIES

Room 7 had a lovely week

of swimming lessons at the

Aquadome. In the hot

weather the water was very

refreshing and lovely.

Everyone enjoyed the lovely

instructors. We had a great

time learning new things and

techniques. We also got to

try boards, balls, life jackets

and noodles. - Paige

Swimming was the best.

My favourite bit of

swimming was the

awesome big slide. When I

got there I was really

nervous because I couldn’t

swim, but I learnt. This

year’s swimming is the best

I’ve ever had. I wanted to

do more swimming but

there is always next year. -

Sierra

Swimming week was fun

mainly because it took away

most of the morning

lessons. My favourite part

was getting in the water and

wearing flippers because it

enabled us to go faster. I

was nervous when they

tested to see which group

we would be in. Overall it

was a great week. - Isobel

Our Zoo Visit

Book Week Parade

In Term 2 we went to the

Adelaide Zoo. We saw lots

animals like monkeys,

meerkats, panda, seal and

lots more. We went for the

whole day travelling in a

bus. At the Education

Centre people from Flinders

University did a play for us.

- Aimee

On the 26th

of June

Rm 7 and Rm 11

went to the Adelaide

Zoo. We went into

10 groups; every

group had lots of fun

together. - Olivia

In Term 2 Room 7

and 11 went to the

Zoo. We had so much

fun and all of us had

maps. We went to see

the lion, it roared at

us. It was cool and

fun. - Tia

In Book Week we went to the

Parade and I thought the

funniest pair of costumes was

my friend Keli and me. I was

a Pokémon and he was a

Pokémon trainer. It was

funny because I was

following him everywhere as

he was my master. Other

costumes were Harry Potter,

AFL Players, unicorns and

many more. - Ryan

This year Book Week

was fun and I loved it.

I was a unicorn and it

was cool. My class

loved it too, we had

fun dressing up. -

Jessica

For Book Week there

were awesome costumes.

Some people dressed up as

Minecraft characters,

animals and some as

princesses. - Abby Assembly – Term 4

On 25th

October we were

performing the Fight

Song. It was cool because

everyone was doing all the

moves at the right time.

And it was nice and loud.

- Logan

Our term 4 assembly was lots of fun.

We found the Chicken Dance amazing

fun. We also liked the Fight Song but

not as much as the Chicken Dance. We

let the whole school join in the Chicken

Dance. Overall it was a big success. -

Kiara

On Wednesday 25th

October Room 7 and

Room 11 did the Fight

Song and we performed in

front of the whole school.

It was really scary the

dance moves were fast

and slow. - Cleopatra
