Hello again
End of Term 2 – I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the staff at the school for another exceptional term of teaching and learning. The term has been jam packed with activities and the students have certainly gained a lot of new learning. As we approach holidays, please take the time to talk to your children about being safe whilst on holi-
days! I look forward to seeing all the smiling faces back for the start of term 3. The first day back at school is Monday July 16.
STAFF on Leave in Term 3 – I will be on 3 weeks long service leave at the start of term 3. I have relatives arriving from Denmark and am taking time to spend with them. I will still be in Cairns so you may see me around. Mrs Dovaston will be acting Principal for the first 3 weeks of next term. Mr Gleave will be acting Deputy Principal for the 3 weeks I am away. Mr Ottone will be on Long Service Leave for the first 6 weeks of term 3. He is taking time off to study and complete his Masters in Guidance. Mr Ottone will return for the last 4 weeks of the term before taking further leave in term 4. Mrs Nixon will be the acting Deputy Principal, Student Services – Year 3 – 6 Stu-dents for semester 2. Mrs Olsson will replace Mrs Nixon as acting Head of Student Engagement for Semester 2. Ms Tania Luxford will replace Mrs Olsson in year 6O for Semester 2. I am sure that you will be very supportive of these school leaders as they step up to lead our wonderful school.
On behalf of the staff and students of Cairns West State School we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful people who assisted in making our NAIDOC week a success. In particular we would like to acknowledge the following people:-
Wuchopperen, Indigenous Job Centre, Yarrabah Dance group, Queensland Police Services, Mrs Dalassa, Mr and Mrs Takai, Murray Island Choir, Mr and Mrs Stewart, Gumba Gumba, Rabbitohs, International hockey players and the many men and women who shared their stories for our Hall of Fame and Careers day.
We would also like to acknowledge the hard work that the NAIDOC committee have done, with spe-cial mention to Mrs Lexelle Bray, Ms Kathy Coleiro and Ms Jacquie Price, without your guidance and commitment, this week would not have been possible. You have shared your culture and guid-ed our school to ensure we had a successful NAIDOC celebration. Thank you for your time and efforts, we are all grateful. Thank you also to the many wonderful volun-teers who have given up their time and energy to assist us with activities and to show us more about our indigenous cultures. Your contributions have made the week a memorable one…..
Until next time….Mike

HOLIDAY TO ALL OUR
FAMILIES
The Importance of Sleep
With school holidays quickly approaching
and our kids wanting to push the bounda-
ries with bed time, I would like to take this
opportunity to share some information
from the Generation Next conference that I had the privilege of
attending last month.
Dr Chris Seton explains that children have three pillars of good
health – regular exercise, good nutrition and GOOD SLEEP.
Good sleep may be linked to improved outcomes in Maths,
Science and English and is critical for our kids to maintain a pos-
itive mood and be more successful in warding off the effects of
anxiety and depression.
Dr Seton explains that 12 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep each
night for toddlers to 8 year old children is ideal and that 10
hours each night for 9 – 18 year old young people the minimum
amount. Some ‘tricks’ to support quality sleep in our children is
having a regular bedtime, implementing a routine such as read-
ing a story before bed and using the bed ONLY for sleeping ra-
ther than play and using electronic devices.
The importance of good sleep is a critical factor in supporting
our kids and ourselves in being the most effective people that
we can be! Mr Denny Ottone Deputy Principal
