Hello everyone!
The saying time flies when you are having fun has certainly rung true this term. Having Easter as
a welcome break, plus events such as the Year 6 camp and Swimming Carnivals has made it a
very enjoyable term and fabulous start to the 2016 school year.
Interschool Swimming Carnival: The Interschool Swimming Carnival will be held on
Wednesday, 6 April. I know the squad we have representing our school have trained hard and
will endeavour to do their very best but above all will be excellent ambassadors for our school.
Congratulations to all the students who will be participating and good luck.
ANZAC Service:
We will be conducting a School ANZAC Service on Friday, 8 April,
commencing at 9.00am in the quadrangle. Mr Faulkner organises and facilitates the School
ANZAC Service ensuring it is a fitting commemoration to the men and women who have served
our nation.
We will again participate in the City of Albany ANZAC Street March and Service on ANZAC Day,
Monday, 25 April. Details regarding the March and Service are outlined further in this newsletter.
We encourage as many children as possible to be involved in this very significant National event.
Assembly: This week, children from Room 21 Year 4 will be providing the entertainment at the
assembly on Thursday.
Finally, thank you to all of our families for your ongoing support over the term. To our terrific
students, thank you for your excellent endeavour to achieve your personal best, evidence of this
is below (and over the page) in some samples of work from the students in Room 8 Year 3.
Happy holidays everyone!

MANAGING STUDENT BEHAVIOUR
WHAT IS BULLYING?
The key to this approach is that the child is given a choice at each step to
follow directions or face increased consequences.
Students making GOOD CHOICES are acknowledged for their efforts.
For students making POOR CHOICES the following consequences
apply ~

is

will attend the Intervention
Centre (Room 20) where an
