WELCOME BACK

A warm welcome back to Term 2. We hope that all families had

a great break as we return for Term 2. Welcome to any new

families starting with us this week!

STAFF STEAM THROUGH STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY

Our staff took the opportunity to learn more about STEAM

(Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS and Mathematics)

on Monday. Staff were able to learn more about coding, video

editing and hear about some of the ways schools and teachers

are trying to ignite student interest in these curriculum areas.

Thank you to Mr Burke-Smith, Mrs Curtis and Mrs Ross for

leading the day.

STAFF CHANGES

Mr Tim Beaven and Mrs Kylie South take up their principal

positions this term and we wish them well in their new schools.

Ms Candice Morphett will be our relieving Deputy Principal

(Head of Primary) for Term 2 whilst a new Deputy Principal is

appointed through the merit selection process.

Mr Josef Burke-Smith will be the relieving Stage 3 Assistant

Principal for Term 2.

We also welcome Mrs Rachel Frith to the Instructional Leader

Position as part of the Early Action for Success Program.

ANZAC CEREMONIES

Thank you to the students, parents and families who came

along to represent Rutherford Public School at the Maitland

ANZAC ceremony last Wednesday.

A big thank you to Mrs Thomas for all her organisation in our

school ANZAC service which was held last Term. It is very

important for our students to learn more about the ANZAC

traditions, the futility of war and the ongoing hope for a peaceful

future.

Three of our student leaders will accompany Ms Morphett to

Rutherford Technology High School this Thursday to represent

our school at their ANZAC service.

BREAK-IN

Unfortunately our school canteen was the target of a group of

youths over the holidays. The youths gained access to the

canteen and took a small amount of stock. It appears that the

group of males are the same as the group that targeted the

school last year. Police have been given CCTV footage of the

break-in and we hope to have the youths caught soon. Please

be on the lookout for any suspicious activity around our school

and report any concerns to Maitland Police on 4934 0200.

CYBER SAFETY LADY

The Cyber Safety Lady, Leonie Smith is coming soon to

Rutherford Public School…..and you're invited.

A parent information session will begin at 6:00pm on

Wednesday 30th May. Due to the nature of Leonie's parent

presentation, strictly no children are permitted to be in the

room. Please keep the date free!

Details on how to register will be published soon!

PLAYGROUP - PLAY TO LEARN

A reminder that our 0-6 years playgroup operates with the

support of Hunter Prelude from our school hall each Tuesday

morning from 9:15am to 11:15am. All children are welcome to

come along and be part of the fun! Please see Rasna Gandhi

or the school office for more details on how to register.

Senior’s Week.

MOTHER’S DAY STALL

Thank you to the P&C who have organised a range of beautiful

gifts for our students to purchase. The stall will be open on

class.

Gifts cost $6 each.

Any left over gifts will be sold in front of the hall on Thursday

and Friday morning.

NAPLAN

All students in Years 3 and 5 will sit the NAPLAN tests soon.

Students should not be overly nervous about these tests. They

are aimed at helping the school identify individual student

strengths and areas for development, as well as whole-school

need. Parents are asked to limit any absences from school

next week.

Any parents wishing to seek clarification on the testing program

can see Ms Morphett (Deputy Principal/Head of Primary) this

week.

FREE BREAKFAST - Students in Years 3 and 5 can enjoy

FREE cereal and toast on the NAPLAN testing mornings to

ensure they are fuelled and ready to sit the tests!

Community Room, where the test will be administered before

classes commence at 9:10am.

SAVE THE DATE

National Walk Safely to School Day will be held on Friday 18

May 2018 in all primary schools across Australia.

This national initiative aims to encourage children to lead a

healthier, more active lifestyle by simply including a walk at the

beginning, at lunch time and at the end of each day. The event

also promotes reduced car-dependency, greater use of public

transport, cleaner air, improved diets and road safety to primary

school children throughout Australia.

Please help us encourage children to build regular walking in

their daily routine by walking to, during, and from school. More

details will be provided as we get closer to the date.

NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA

All schools in Australia, including Rutherford Public School,

participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on

School Students with Disability. The national data collection is

an annual collection that counts the number of school students

with disability, and the level of reasonable educational

adjustment they are provided with. This national data collection

collects information about students with disability in a

consistent, reliable and systematic way. The national data

collection draws on and reflects the ongoing work teachers and

education staff do to support students with disability. If you

would like any further information around the NCCD, or do not

wish your child to be included in the data collection, please

contact the school. Additional information about the national

data collection is available on the Australian Government

Department of Education’s website at:

https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/disability-

learning-and-support/personalised-support-for-learning/national

-disability-data-collection

AEROBICS

Congratulations to the Pink Jets who won a gold medal at their

first competition of the year in Newcastle. The girls looked

fantastic and will continue to train hard for their next competition

in May.

Thank you to our valued sponsors, Club Maitland City, MSP

Photography and also our enthusiastic cheer squad of

supporters.

Ms Ledwos, Aerobics Coach

STEWART HOUSE DONATION DRIVE ENVELOPES

Stewart House donation drive envelopes were sent home last

term. Families are asked to place a donation of at least $2

inside, complete their details and return the envelope to school

by Friday 11th May.

By returning your envelope with at least $2 inside, your family

will go in the draw to win a $4,000 family holiday!

SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION FEE

All families in NSW public schools are asked to make a

contribution to the ongoing costs associated in providing a

quality education. Unlike some schools, Rutherford Public

School does not have text book fees. All families will be

invoiced for the one-off fee and it would be appreciated if the

fee/s could be paid by the end of Term 2. The 2018 school

contribution fee is: $45 per child or $90 per family.

Care Packages Last term, many of the Stage 1 classes prepared care packages for some of the servicemen and women who are currently deployed overseas in the army, navy and air force. After a long delay in postage, we were excited to hear that our packages arrived late last week and were greatly appreciated by the troops. This was such a rewarding experience for our students who wrote letters, created artworks and chose some delicious treats to send in the packages.

News from 2M 2M have been learning about coding. Mrs South visited our classroom and showed us her Ozobots. We had fun creating codes for the Ozobot to follow.

News from 2D and 2G 2D and 2G spent the last two weeks of Term 1 learning about Les Darcy. We have also been learning about QR codes and how they can link us to valuable information. Please scan the QR codes below to listen to our scholars read their information reports on an important part of Maitland’s history.

Students will be immersed in authentic, real world learning tasks using high-level critical problem-solving skills in order to

environments for this exciting journey. See below how classrooms have been transformed using recycled materials. This

journey will culminate with the students holding a Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Expo.

Welcome back to a new term! Stage 2 have an exciting and jam-packed term in store for Year 3 and 4. Be sure to

read the Stage 2 newsletter each fortnight so you stay up to date with everything happening in our classrooms.

What are we studying this term?

In Stage 2, students will participate in exciting new enquiry-based learning (this means students will learn to become more self

-directed, responsible learners) that will focus on engaging and moving our students into 21st century learning styles. We will

be looking to include a range of engaging new technologies into our studies also. Our geography and science unit will look

closely at the environment (local and an environment in Asia), as well as the flora and fauna that occupies these spaces. Our

study of the environment will flow into our literacy component also.

Rich Culture

This term, students will have the opportunity to continue with Baa Waa girls, learning about the rich culture of the Aboriginal

and Torres Strait Islander people. The girls will work hard this term with Amie and other members of the community to put

together a short film that will highlight the students growing knowledge of their culture. Watch this space!

Excursion

Coming up in Week 9 will be an excursion to the Civic Theatre in Newcastle to see ‘The 78-Storey

Treehouse’ live on stage. The popular novels by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton will be a strong

focus in all Stage 2 classes this term and the children will then have the opportunity to watch the live

stage adaptation in Newcastle. Keep your eye on school bags, as notes will be coming home soon!

Sport

Sport will continue every Friday so please send children in sports uniform.

be accepted, as there is a minimum print order that must

be met for each print run.

money before the end of the school day. POP payments

can no longer be made, as the money will not clear in time

for your order to be placed.

Canberra Excursion. The excursion can sneak up quickly,

and regular payments avoid a large payment having to be

made in one transaction.

part of our Personal Development, Health and Physical Activity curriculum. Thank you to all families who have paid the
