Edney Edition Term 4 Week 2 24 October 2019
The Edney Way - Respect and Excellence
WELCOME BACK! It’s almost two weeks into the final term of the year, and we’ve hit the ground running. What a start it has been to the term, straight back into our quality teaching and learning programs, swimming lessons about to start and the excitement of the achievements throughout the year, graduation and moving forward. SWIMMING LESSONS We’re all set for two weeks of learning, with the added bonus of keeping cool and learning skills that may one day save a life. Please accept this as a final reminder to send swimming clothing, towels, change of clothes etc on a daily basis for the next two weeks. It is vital that every article of clothing is clearly marked with your child’s name. WELCOME TO OUR NEW CHAPLAIN After almost one and a half terms without a Chaplain, we have found the perfect replacement, and welcome Jessica Bridcutt (or Miss Jess, or students say) to Edney Primary School. Miss Jess is in the school on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays. She has so far spent time in almost all of the classes across the school, and, once she has had a moment to settle in, will be working to support our students, staff and community. LOST PROPERTY Today we unveiled the incredible Edney Boutique of lost property to be viewed and collected as soon as possible. It is a unique collection – somewhere out there is a child who lost one shoe, but is yet to notice, a multitude of children who found Winter so unseasonably warm that they decided to cast off their jackets, and enough lunch and drink containers to feed an army. We invite members of the community, parents and students to look through the lost property, lay claim to your items. Any unclaimed items will be washed and put into our second-hand uniform store. Non-uniform items will be donated to Good Samaritan Industries. PARKING, PRAISE, PROGRESS AND PEDALLERS There have been vast improvements in the use of parking around the school. Still not perfect, but progress definitely, and I acknowledge the effort and in some cases radical changes to your routine that have taken place. Looking around the school, and with my recent moonlighting gig as the school crossing guard, I am astonished and so pleased to see a massive increase in the number of students cycling, scooting or by other self-propelled means making their way to school. Perhaps with the combination of beautiful but not too hot
From the Principal’s Desk weather, we are seeing the kind of pressure on our bike racks that parents were experiencing with carparks (incidentally, the students seem to work this out without the need for heated debates). The number of children on shiny new bikes or scooters either minus a helmet, or with a new looking helmet dangling from the handle bars, or worn unsecured on the head was less pleasing to see. At this stage, and I’m sure for the foreseeable future, we only get one head for our lifetime. It is well worth sticking a protective barrier between that and the road. Parents, your parking is generally wonderful, with room for improvement. The transition program for Pre-primary to Year 1 has freed parking on the Early Childhood side of things (although please don’t mistake the empty street as an invitation, continue your amazing work in using the correct carparks), this street should be clear at all times, but especially for the next two weeks, please keep the bus bays clear for our swimming lessons. SCHOOL PHOTOS We expect to have school photos distributed to families immediately after the conclusion of swimming lessons. CLASS ORGANISATION Requests for consideration in class placement for 2020 will close on Friday 8th November. Any request for consideration must be made in writing, and detail the educational benefit that you believe such a request would achieve for your child. The school staff will be meeting in the following weeks to place students into classes. From Monday 2nd December, student placements on provisional class lists can be viewed and discussed with the principal by appointment only, in person. To ensure the best possible planning for next year, please continue to inform the school in writing if your child/ren will no longer be attending in 2020. Please also ensure that any requests for new enrolment are made as soon as possible. SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT DAY Friday 15th November is a school development day at Edney Primary School. Our staff will be working on curriculum improvement and review of this year, and putting plans in place to build further on our success in the years ahead. Students do not attend school on this day.

LIBRARY NEWS Thank you to everyone that came along and joined in the fun of the Book Fair. It was a amazing day and it was fantastic to see so many excited readers. Through Book Fair and Book club commissions we are able to purchase many books and resources, so a very big thank you to every Edney family that has and continues to support these. They are fantastic initiatives that get great books into the hands of our children, while helping our school. FINAL BOOK CLUB OF THE YEAR DUE: FRIDAY 25th OCTOBER! Please ensure correct payment is included.
The final week for book borrowing will be Week 6 of this term. Please remind your children to be responsible for their library books and bring them in on the correct days. SWIMMING AND LIBRARY BOOKS Classes are still able to borrow library books throughout swimming lessons. However this will be dependent upon how the swimming timetable fits with the class timetables. Please still remind your child to send back any books they have borrowed this week. Please also have a chat with your child about keeping their Library bag separate to their wet swimming gear.

Ten schools entered in the tournament and Edney played 7 rounds throughout the day. Our students did very well considering it was their first chess tournament. All our students showed great sportsmanship and did Edney proud. Grace won a medal for encouragement. A big thank you to Lleyton’s mum and grandpa for offering to take our students to and from the venue.
