We are looking forward to the term ahead, it should be very creaƟve and exciƟng. Highlights include the K6 Art Show, Dancesport Challenge, 46 Dance Concert, Fathers Day BBQ and The Amazing Race P&C fundraiser. It’s going to be a wonderful term. StaChanges Mr McFadyen has decided to go on leave for the remainder of the year.

We are currently working out stang issues and will keep parents informed over the coming weeks. Mrs Jovanovska will take over the administraƟve role of Learning and Support coordinator. Ms Hozier will move from four days a week down to three days per week. She will also move from Science teaching to the Reading Recovery posiƟon held by Mr McFadyen. This will mean Ms Hozier will work closely with K2 students in the area of reading over the next six months. Science teaching will conƟnue, with new stacurrently being sourced to take on this role. Missy has informed the school that she can no longer work as our Aboriginal SLSO. This is a great loss to the school, however we are invesƟgaƟng other ways of supporƟng our 23 deadly aboriginal students. Miss Hatziantoniou, as many of you would be aware, is geƫng married next weekend. We wish her and Con all the very best. Miss Hatziantoniou nishes on KP this Friday and will not return unƟl Term 4.

1A We have Growth Mindsets in 1A! 

 A er a long, relaxing holiday, this week 1A have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the importance of growth and fixed mindsets. Even at such a young age, it is essen al for us to teach our students that their intelligence can be grown or developed with persis‐tence, effort, and a focus on learning. When students believe that dedica on and hard work can change their performance in school, they grow to become resilient, successful students. You may have heard comments like “I made a mistake” or “I can’t do maths”, this is having a fixed mindset. In 1A, we have really focused on how we can change our words to change our mindset from fixed to growth. For example, “mistakes help me learn” or “I can always improve in maths if I keep trying”. We looked at the idea that ‘the brain is like a muscle’ it only gets stronger when you embrace challenges. As you can see below, we coloured half of our brains using several colours to resemble our growth mindset and we hope to apply our new knowledge to all classroom ac vi es and tasks as the year progresses. (Miss Aravopoulos)  

  

Here are few highlights from Term 2. From

Mindfulness, to the Garden Pro-ject, our Artist in Residence program and Museum in a Box, we were

exhausted and ready for a well-deserved break!
