Dear Parents/ Carers,
ROCKETING AROUND THE SCHOOL WITH MR PITT
3-6 EAL/D: Over the last 2 weeks I visited Stage 3 EAL/D sessions. EAL/D stands for English as an Additional
Language and/or dialect. Many of our students come from an EAL/D background and our school receives
additional funding to support these students. I have visited 3 withdrawal groups. During this time children are
learning English with their peers. Activities included reading, writing about themselves and their journey
coming to Australia and using positional language to make a board game. I also visited 4B to work with children
receiving in—class support from Mrs Tsioras—this lesson was matching fractions and decimals.
TERM 1 REVIEW
Term 1 is just about over. I have included some of our highlights below:
SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT DAY TERM 2
This will be the last newsletter for the term. On Monday 29 April, 2019 teachers will participate in a professional
development day. This day will allow teachers an opportunity to gain further knowledge around supporting the personal
and student wellbeing, creative thinking and PDHPE implementation. Students return to school on Tuesday 30 April, 2019.
For the those in our community that participated in Easter festivities—Happy Easter to you all! Remember to relax, have
fun and most importantly stay safe during the holiday period!

Take a break with Mrs Karam!
This week I visited the junior and senior netball team and the girls touch football team.
Junior and Senior Netball
I had so much fun visiting the netball team. I worked with the girls on developing their attacking, defending
and passing techniques. We tried a new drill to help us break free when we are attacking. We also spent
time working on our catching and throwing. The girls enjoyed working on their shooting at the end. I was
also thrilled to hear that the teams won on Friday at PSSA. Keep up the great work!
Girls Touch Football Team
It was great fun visiting the girls touch football team. The girls were able to work together to play a mini
game. During this time Mr Kinniburgh coached and supported the girls in improving their passing and
throwing techniques. We also worked on looking for space within the game and playing the ball quickly in
order to not disrupt the flow of the game. I was very impressed with how well the girls listened to the
feedback and worked hard to improve their skills. Well done team!

National Happy Day was so much fun at OSHClub as the children
were given the opportunity to choose their favourite toys, their
favourite foods and of course be happy all morning and
afternoon. We were given the opportunity to learn a little bit
more about the kids and what they love to do. We had lots of
watermelon and grapes, some eggs and got to make some really
yummy brownies.
Exploring our Cultures was heaps of fun, especially when we got
to get all dressed up and try guessing where everyone is from.
Harmony day was so much fun for the kids as we had a wide
variety of foods to try and cultural music that we danced to!
Who doesn’t love dressing up, and the kids took the opportunity
of cleaning up our dress up area, to get all dressed up and began
a fashion show to strut their stuff!
As parents, homework can be a little overwhelming, especially
seeing how techniques have changed since going to school
yourself. OSHClub hosts HOMEWORK CLUB, where your
children can get support and help with the difficult questions,
see some of their friends outside of school and also get to fill
their bellies with some Healthy Afternoon Tea. If you have any
questions, please come by the Hall and talk to the friendly
OSHClub staff.

On Monday 25th March, the Year 1 and Year 2 SRC representatives were invited to help with the
launch of the new Sydney Markets Central. Students had a great time visiting the Markets and getting behind the scenes. Students were invited to the Learning Centre to watch interactive videos plus were given a tour of the markets & Green Point (Recycling Plant). After the Sydney Markets, students were driven to Homebush for a tour of ANZ Stadium. The tour provided an unbeatable opportunity to visit exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ areas inside one of Australia’s biggest Stadium Facilities. Students participated in activities such as visiting the media centre, the change rooms and walking down the player’s tunnel out onto the field. Mr Carbone
