Semester 1 Student Council 

We would like to acknowledge and thank our members of the Student Council for Semester 1. These students have done a fine job representing their classes and we are very grateful for their time and effort. The initiatives that these students have discussed have varied and their feedback on how we can improve practices across the school has always been very beneficial. Thank you once again to the students below!

Newcastle Permanent Maths Competiton 

Students in Year 5 and 6 will participate in an online version of the Newcastle Permanent Maths Competition on Wednesday 26th July (Term 3, Week 2). 

A couple of things to note prior to this event: 

  • Each student is allowed 45 minutes to complete the competition. Calculators, electronic devices, rulers, geometrical instruments or other aids are not permitted. We understand it’s difficult to ensure compliance to these rules within an online learning environment, however, we ask you to please be aware of these rules prior to student participation.   
  • The Newcastle Permanent will be in touch with the school in November with official results, invitations to presentation days and certificates for all students. 

Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) 

Students continue to be very much engaged with our PBL Dash tokens. It’s great to hear children pleased with how their positive behaviour is being acknowledged. It is wonderful to see the PBL containers in the classrooms filling up over the past 5 weeks! Students may receive tokens in class or on the playground. Staff are rewarding for positive behaviours across all four expectations: 

  • Act Safely
  • Be Respectful 
  • Care For All 
  • Do Your Best  

Congratulations to the Red Sports Colour House for achieving the most tokens in the second half of this term! Students in this sports house will meet early next term and decide what their reward will be.
