Dear Parents and Carers
Olympathon
Our major fundraiser for the year will be an Olympathon held in the middle of Week 9, 14 September. All students will receive a
sponsor card today. Please support the students in their endeavour to raise as much money as possible. All funds will be directed
towards the installation of a large COLA in Area 1. The plan is to run the 3-6 program from 9-11am, the Year 1-2 program from
11:30 – 1pm and the Kindergarten program from 2-3pm. The Olympathon activities will be slightly different across the school
years but each program will consist of 10 activities. Sponsors can choose to sponsor for each activity or simply give a donation.
Many thanks for your support.
Book Week
A huge thank you to Mrs Phillips and Mrs Alfonso for their organisation of Book Week performances and the multitude of
activities offered in the library over an extended period. We are very fortunate have such a tremendous promotion of quality
literature and love of reading in general. The children looked fantastic dressed up in book characters. Their gold coin donations
will be sent off to World Vision.
K-2 Sports Carnival
Many thanks to all the parents and grandparents who turned up to support the children at the carnival. A very well organised
event allowed the students to participate in a combination of traditional athletic events and some novelty activities. The focus
was student participation in physical education so in that context everyone was a winner.
NAPLAN
The 2016 NAPLAN performances demonstrate significant academic growth across the 3-6 school. Year 3 & 5 performances in
Literacy & Numeracy are meeting or exceeding the expected growth targets. This is great news for the students and for the
school in general. I will provide a comprehensive analysis in the newsletter next week.
Uniform
LOWES Rockdale has advised that school hats were sold out last week and a new order will be delivered early next week.
Summer Uniforms will be available late September.
Mr Han’s Memorial
Earlier in the year we lost our dear friend and colleague Mr Wayne Han. Next Wednesday 24 August at 2pm we will be holding a
memorial service in the school hall in memory of Mr Han. The memorial will be presented and attended by students in Stages
2&3. Parents are welcome.
Congratulations:
To the athletes from Carlton Public School who participated in the BBPSSA Zone Athletics Carnival Day 1 on Tuesday 16th August. Some great results, especially our 4 relay teams and 5 students making 800m finals
To the K-2 students who participated in our K-2 Athletics Carnival yesterday and to the wonderful teachers for organising such a wonderful day. It was a fantastic.

form at least three weeks before your travel date. There are special criteria for applying for extended leave eg any sick

Mini Fete News Please be aware that this year we have changed how you participate in our stalls at the Mini Fete. To be involved in the stalls that have activities you need to have purchased a band. This allows you to come to our stalls and have a go and win a prize. If you don't have a band then unfortunately you cannot have a go. The food stalls, book stall, trash and treasure and raffles all still require money to purchase the goods on the day. These are the ONLY stalls that will be accepting cash on the day. We look forward to seeing you all at the Mini Fete for a wonderful afternoon! Stage 3 Team

The Tell Them From Me student feedback survey
I am delighted that this term, our school, like many other public schools in the state, will participate in a Department of
Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me student feedback survey. The survey aims to help improve student learning
outcomes and measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the
NSW-wide survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices.
Page 6
Thursday 18 August 2011 Term 3 - Week 5 Term 3 - Week 5 Thursday 18 August 2016
You may remember that our students also participated in a Tell Them From Me student survey in Term 1 this year. Asking
students to complete the survey twice in one year allows us to identify trends in student responses as well as track engagement
and motivation across the school year.
More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents
The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about
school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and
around the world have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help improve how they do things at school.
I want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey is conducted online and will typically take less than 30 minutes to
complete. It will be administered during school hours between 22 August and 21 October. Participating in the survey is entirely
voluntary.
A consent form and FAQs for parents/carers about the survey is being sent home with students. If you do not want your child or
children to participate, please return the form to school by Friday 2 September. Copies of the form and FAQs are available from
the website above.
The Partners in Learning parent feedback survey
This Term, our school will be participating in the Partners in Learning parent survey, another part of the Tell Them From Me suite
of surveys (student, teacher and parent surveys) on student engagement. The survey asks parents and carers questions about
different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement.
Running this survey will help our school understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at school. These
include: communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the
school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements.
The survey is conducted entirely online at home or on public computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to
complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted between 22 August and 21 October. Participating
in the survey is entirely voluntary, however, your responses are very much appreciated.
More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents
