Wayiba, wanthiwa, tharnadu and hello, Sadly, this is my last newsletter. After three and a half years it

is time for me to move to Perth to be back with my wife. I am

proud of all the work we have accomplished since I started in

2015. Student learning has gone from strength to strength

especially in the Early Years and Middle Primary. The

attraction and retention of quality teachers has ensured that

the classroom environment is safe and encouraging.

It has also been my pleasure working with the community

through the Elders Yarn and the 6718 Education and Learning

Balagarni. Ensuring community voices are heard and leading

within the school is critical. We have seen this in the

transparency of the TAFE and through our Monday afternoon

cultural activities, where all community members are welcome

to attend.

Roebourne will always be dear to my heart. I have enjoyed

every minute of being up here and have lots of wonderful

memories. It is also special to me as my children attended the

school. Thank you to the staff, students and all our families for

learning and working together to make this school a great

school. In my absence, Sharon Tawhiti, will be acting Principal

until the interim Principal is appointed. Once again thank you.

Kind regards,

David Paine

KINDY

Term 3 has seen the start of the 2018 Pre-Kindy. There is a full class of gorgeous little kids

who are very excited to learn. They should all be super proud of themselves as a new

experience can be a little scary. But there were lots of smiles and some of the siblings

helped to settle them in.

Last week, the kindy students revisited the nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty sat on a Wall”.

We wrote a story map together as a class, and then the students worked using a variety of

materials to retell the story.

This included using puppets, story stones, teddies and costumes.

This term, we are learning about people who help us in the community. We have been learning about doctors and dentists. The students have enjoyed role playing in the home corner and helping their patients get better quickly.

The Kindy students are learning about the story ‘The Runaway Damper Bread Man’. On Tuesday, when we came into the classroom, we found the Damper Bread Man cooking on a pretend camp fire. At recess, he ran away to the office and we had to go and catch him! Throughout the week, the Damper Bread Man has been getting into all sorts of mischief including playing with our classroom toys, eating our fruit and reading books to puppets in the library. The Kindy kids have loved learning the new story, making their own damper bread men to eat, and of course, learning all about their new friend.

The Pre Primary students celebrated 100 days of school last Week! We talked about what we would do when we were 100 years old. Some students were going to be fishing and hunting. Some students would use a stick to walk. Some students would do whatever they like. We all look forward to being old and having a family to care for. The photos gave us a clue as to what we might look like. Do you know who these old people are?

Our very talented Roebourne students have been working so hard this year producing some

amazing art!

Our NAIDOC day art show was a great success, with so many different paintings, drawings and

prints from Kindy all the way up to Year 12. The students from Room 8 proudly wore their hand

painted shirts!

This term, Room 4 are working hard to design some pictures for the Roebourne police, which

will be used as the background for a new sign in town.

Room 8 recently had a visit to Roebourne Hospital, where they gifted their artwork to be hung

up on the walls around the children’s area. They had a tour, sausage sizzle, and were lucky

enough to be gifted with two Monopoly games and Batman Lego!

Some High School girls have been chosen to participate in an art camp to Solomon mine. They

will be designing and painting three large metal sheets which will be displayed in Solomon.

Currently, we are planning hard and designing in class so we are ready and prepared to paint
