Dear Parents and Carers,

Each class has collaborated on a matrix of classroom expectations in line with our new school rules: Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful, and Be a Learner. Our School Wide Positive Behaviour relies on the regular restatement of the expected behaviours and, most importantly, teaching the behaviours through class discussions and role play opportunities. By establishing clear understanding of expectations we create a stable and predictable environment for all students. Please see attached to this newsletter the behaviour matrixes for each class for your reference.

Congratulations to Daniel Korn and Amara Hockey who have been recognised by the Country Women's Association for their entries in the country of study project for 2019, Papua New Guinea. Ms Tina Billing presented our two students with certificates last week from the Hume group of CWA Branches. Their entries will now be forwarded to NSW state level for consideration. Well done Daniel and Amara!

Our dance and gymnastics programs are underway for the term. Our presenters Taylor (Footsteps) and Ben (Little Champions Gymnastics) are keen and capable leaders and we value their expertise. Thank you for adjusting sport uniform days to Mondays and Wednesdays. 

This week students from Yr 2-6 will be participating in the Cricket Blast Cup at the Batlow Showgrounds. Students will need to wear sports uniform once again on the day. Could parents please refer to the permission note emailed today for further details. 

I will be attending Instructional Leader and Principal Meetings in Canberra from Wednesday to Friday this week. Ms Saunderson will be in charge in my absence. 

Have a great week everyone.

Jannine
