Three Way Learning Conferences

We will be holding ‘Three Way Learning

Conferences’ on Monday 23rd March. Students

will not attend school on this day. They will come

for their conference time.

Appointments can be made through Xuno.

Online bookings are open. To book, find the

‘Parent Teacher Interview’ on your app or

website, and book your appointment times.

Please remember that students are to be in

attendance at their conference.

Parent role during the conferences:

*During learning conferences, parents have a

major role to play. Students will be sharing how

they are learning, along with what they are

learning.

*We are encouraging all parents to be actively

involved and seek to understand the how and

what, as Irymple South strives to have students

take more ownership of their learning through

our Visible Learning Cycle.

*We will allow time for parent voice, as teachers

will provide time for communication about any

concerns.

*We hope you enjoy the formal 15 minutes with

your child and their teacher. XUNO

parents. Permission notes, Academic Reports,

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK (these will be presented at assembly on Friday 13th March)


PE

with Mrs Branson

In Physical Education, students have begun training for the

ISPS Cross Country race being held at school on Tuesday 21st

April. Being ‘Heart Healthy is such an important skill for a long and

active life and the habits we set as children help to influence

our habits later on in life. The focus of this event is on

participation, improving individual health and increasing

cardiovascular fitness. As well as running the Cross Country

track we have also been discussing ways the students can be

more active both at home and at school.

This week the Prep classes

have been looking at how

to receive a ball through

the air and used these skills

in minor games and

activities.

The Year 1 and 2 classes

have begun their tennis

unit. The Year 1s have been

focusing on projecting

(throwing and hitting) and

receiving (catching and

trapping with and without

equipment) a ball through

the air. The year two

classes have been focusing

on racquet familiarization

and rallying with a racquet

to improve skills.

The Year 3 & 4 students

have looked at the

fundamental movement

skill of dodging and used

video evidence and

targeted practice to assess

and improve their own skill level (posted on SeeSaw). They

have also been introduced to the skills involved in the game

of hockey.

Year 5 & 6 students have been focusing on what is physical

fitness and how they can track and improve their own fitness.

They have begun to use the language around the

components of fitness, completed fitness testing for term one

and participated in different fitness circuit activities. The year

five students are now working in small groups on creating their

own circuit station for a given component of fitness.


Interschool Swimming On Tuesday 3rd March, Max Bell, Max Mannes, Eadie Neagle and

Ava Topp competed at the Mildura Interschool Swimming Sports

at Mildura Waves. We had some very good performances with all

students placing in the top 3 for at least one race. Following were

the place getting performances

Max Bell 1st in Breaststroke and 1st in Backstroke

Max Mannes 1st in Backstroke

Eadie Neagle 1st in Breaststroke 2nd in Butterfly

Ava Topp 3rd in Freestyle

Our relay team also did very well this

year winning the U12 Open 4 x 50m

Freestyle relay.

All students enjoyed the competition and did their very best.

Max, Max and Eadie are through to Swan Hill to for their individual

event and Ava will join them for the relay event. The students will

represent Sunraysia at the Regional Swimming Finals in Swan Hill

on Thursday 19th March.

Mrs Branson

Clean Up Australia Day On Tuesday the grade 5’s went to Psyche Pumps for Clean Up

Australia Day. Julie and Ray from Parks Victoria told us about

rubbish and why it is so important to clean up.

We found really interesting and disappointing

things such as beer bottles, glass, lighters,

barbed wire and fishing lines. We really enjoyed

it and it was such a great opportunity to

experience.

Zoe Howard and Zoe Aldamiz

Girls Cricket

Yesterday a group of 5/6 girls went and played

hard ball cricket at Nichols point. We had two

games for the day. The first game we played

Nichols Point and easily won 44 to 60. The 2nd

game we also played against Nichols Point and

fortunately won 49 to 58. Our best players for the

day were Annabelle Kennedy with her 3 wickets,

Addison Bell for her amazing batting, Eadie

Neagle for her fielding and most improved was

Amelia Petrolo with her wicket keeping. All

players did extremely well and we all improved

as the day progressed. We will luckily be proceeding into the next round. On behalf of all the girls

cricket team we would like to give a big thank you to Mr Allen for being a great coach and

finally your tactics got us through to the next round.
