Diary Dates
THANK YOU MRS CARRODUS
Jill Carrodus has announced her
retirement from teaching effective
at the beginning of Term 3. Jill has
worked tirelessly for Irymple South since 1995 when she
returned from Family Leave. In the 15 1/2 years at Irymple
South Jill has predominantly taught in Prep/One and Reading
Recovery. We thank Jill for the wonderful work she has done
with the students, parents and teachers over the years.
We will be holding a presentation and farewell school
assembly on Friday July 29th at 9.00. We would also like invite
parents to stay after assembly for a coffee and a chat.
PUPIL FREE DAY
All classroom teachers participated in Professional Learning
Friday June 17 around teaching mathematics and in
particular Space and Shape. Teachers unpacked the
importance of clear and explicit learning intentions and a
cohesive structure for mathematics lessons. We hope your
children have enjoyed the results of our learning in maths this
week.
SCHOOL SPORTS
The school sports have been rescheduled for Friday August
12. The Long Distance runs will be held on Friday August 5th.
REPORTS
Student reports will be distributed next Thursday. We will be
holding parent/student/teacher Conferences during term 3.
TOYS AT SCHOOL
Please be mindful of the toys that students are allowed to
bring to school—swords, electronic games and precious items
have no place at school.

IRYMPLE COMMUNITY PLAN
Late last year our 5/6 students together with
School Council worked with Jarrod
Delahunty to provide feedback towards a
Community Plan for Irymple. The front cover
of the plan has been designed by our
current school captains: Charlie Cooper,
Kayla Adams, Campbell Vadlja & Sarah
Garlick. Thank you to Peta Cooper who
worked closely with the students to support
the process. Jarrod has asked for feedback
on the plan. All class teachers have a copy
to explore with the students and there are
further copies available at the front office.
EARLY FINISH NEXT FRIDAY
Next Friday (the last day of Term 2) students
will be finishing at 2.30pm. Bus travellers will
be finishing at 2.10pm.
ART DISPLAY
Pop into the front office and take a look at
our new display unit. At the moment there is
a terrific display of a variety of art work that
the students have done.

UNIFORM
Please ensure that all school jumpers are
clearly NAMED. It is staggering to see the
amount of unnamed jumpers in the Lost
Property box at the moment. These jumpers
cannot be returned to their owners, and will
be sold as Second-Hand jumpers or sent to St
Vinnies at the end of the term.
It is also important that students are wearing
appropriate footwear to school. We expect students to wear black school shoes or
sneakers — this will provide your child’s feet
with the proper support. The students
participate in a number of physical activity
sessions each week and need safe, sturdy
footwear.
LATE ARRIVALS
We ask that all families ensure that children
are at school by 8.50am. This is to allow time
for students to be organised and settled for
classes, which begin promptly at 9.00am.
JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL UPDATE—
CASUAL DRESS DAY
We will be having a casual dress day on the
last day of term (Friday, July 1).
A gold coin donation is required if coming in
casual clothes—please dress appropriately
for the weather! Students can hand their
donation to their JSC representatives in the
morning.
All money raised will go towards the
construction of a new down ball wall!
Thanks for your support,
JSC Representatives
SAFETY HOUSE Are you home before and after school? Then
you could be a ‘Safety House’, providing a safe
place for our children to go if they need
assistance.
Pamphlets are available at the front office, or
contact Fiona on 50 233038 for more information.

BACK TO BASICS ENVIRONMENTAL
NIGHT
We will be holding our Back to Basics Environmental
Night again this year. It will be held during Term 4,
with an exact date TBA. We are conscious of
organising things nice and early this year, with
maximum opportunity for plenty of families to help
out.
Please think about joining our committee! Just leave
your name and phone number at the front office. We
are looking for lots of new ideas, thoughts and
suggestions.
We will also be looking for items to raffle on the night.
Any suggestions or donation of goods with an
environmental theme would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amber Morgan
