Quote of the Week: “No one has ever become poor by giving.” ― Anne Frank

Welcome to our new

Admin Staff A warm welcome to both Mrs

Catherine Hankinson and Mrs

Thembi Pain who will be

sharing the School Admin

Manager’s role until the end of

Term 1 of 2020. Catherine has

a wealth of experience in

school finance and will be in

on Mondays, Tuesdays and

Wednesdays and Thembi who

is also an experienced SAM

and will be in the role on

Thursdays and Fridays.

CPR & Anaphylaxis Training Over the next couple of weeks, Bilambil staff will update their

departmental requirement to be current with both CPR and

supporting anaphylaxis. The first session yesterday afternoon

(Tuesday 27 August) was excellent with everyone

demonstrating competency in their understanding of the most

current anaphylaxis procedures and CPR requirements,

including use of the AED (Automatic External Defibrillator).

The same is anticipated for the second session in two week’s

time.

Mr Davis’s Tips for Happy Kids Tip Number 9. Happy Parents

Children are naturally happy and optimistic when their world is

running smoothly. Happiness, joy and optimism are reinforced

by the important adults in their world.

If parents are unhappy or stressed and worried a lot of the time,

children feel it and may start to mimic some of the behaviours

modelled by the adults.

It’s from parents that children learn how to build happy,

respectful relationships with others, including their siblings and

it’s very much a “do as I do” kind of teaching. When parents

bicker and fight, that’s how their children may start to behave

towards siblings and others.

When parents resolve conflict in a healthy way or cope with

difficult times with a positive attitude, children will likely mimic

this behaviour when they are faced with their own problems or

conflicts.

We are currently taking

Kindergarten enrolments for

2020.

If you have a child that will be

attending this school next year

or you know any children of

family, friends or neighbours

that will be attending next

year please contact our office

to organise an enrolment

package.

How exciting…… only one month to go!

SAVE THE DATE!!!! Yes, it is very exciting to announce that Bilambil Public School

will be running another Colour Run this year! Due to the

enormous amount of fun we all had at our last 2 events, we

have decided to run it again this year!

Although the event will not take place until the last day of Term

3, we would like to bring to your attention the cost involved for

running such an event. The cost this year will be $5.00 per

student, so kids start saving! You could help mum or dad take

out the rubbish, sweep the floor or even clean your room to

start earning some pocket money.

Notes and more information will go out later this term.

Well done, Stage 1.

Professional Learning for BPS Teaching &

Learning Support Staff - iOTF6

On Sunday 18 August, 2019

the teachers and learning

support staff from Bilambil

Public School attended the

annual I On The Future (iOTF6)

Conference to engage with

inspiring educational leaders.

The theme of the conference

was “There Is More In Us Than

We Know”.

The 300 attendees were from

all over the world and keynote

speeches were presented by

Ron Berger and Scott Hartl

who are at the centre of EL

Education. We also heard

from Murat Dizdar, the Deputy

Secretary, School Operations

and Performance for the NSW

Department of Education.

Another keynote was

presented by John Larmer and

Suzie Boss who spoke about

PBL (Project Based Learning)

and the day was completed

with an incredibly powerful

keynote speech from Bernie

Shakeshaft, Rusty and James

Knight who spoke about the

BackTrack Youth Works

program. It was an inspiring

day which has led to deep

discussions about future

directions for our classrooms

and our school as a whole.

A huge thank you to the staff

who gave up their Sunday to

attend the conference. There

really is more in every single

one of us than we know.

Stage 1 AP




The school would like to invite students, parents/carers and family members to

our annual School Community Breakfast on Friday, 20th September 2019. The

feast will start at 7:30am and aims to bring all of us together in a relaxed

environment to have a chat. This will also serve as our informal Parent Teacher

Interviews for the term.

Term 3 - Week 6, 28 August 2019 Newsletter

KT loved having our Grandparents come and see their amazing

work in class and playing fun games in the playground!



Term 3 - Week 6, 28 August 2019 Newsletter

KT are loving our

new ‘jelly bean’

table! It is such a

great resource for

our group work in

class, even Miss

Danielle loves it!

KT are learning Oztag this term. The students are enjoying

learning the key skills and working together as a team!

We have been exploring

different ways to learn. Here’s

KT working hard on their

Soundwaves under the cola.

We have been learning about

Dinosaurs this term. KT’s STEM

challenge was to build an

environment suitable for

Dinosaurs.


The Chappy Chapter



Our first ever CHAPPY WEEK It was a great week! We started with continuous

handball on Monday recess and then lunch as

well, as so many wanted to challenge me. Good

times! Tuesday Mufti day was a blue and white hit.

The doggies beat Parra in an upset so I think we

need a blue and white mufti day every week! Plus

Hamburger Tuesday. What a response! 96 delicious

hamburgers were made. The Canteen Kitchen

Rules team did such a fantastic job. Here’s a shout

out to our little master chefs Azi, Dee Dee, Lara

and Ava from 3/4M who worked like champions,

plus my girls who came up to help at lunch. I’ll be

in 1/2H this Friday. We raised $560.00 towards the

chaplaincy programs. Thank you Bilambil families

for your support.

Boot Camp Boot Camp with a mix or Survivor and Rock and

Water. We are testing the mind as well as their

physical capabilities. They are having to work

together to accomplish tasks. The Year 6 boys are

starting to get it and hopefully the Year 4 boys will

follow suit.

Canteen Kitchen Rules The new group has been cooking for two weeks

and have started with a bang. Not the kitchen

exploding, don’t worry Danelle! Week One was a

double batch of Spaghetti Bolognaise for Jarrod

Menin’s family. With the girls coming from his

class,they were very excited to help him and his

family out. Then last week was burger week.

Seasons for Growth Another group has started and we have 9 students

joining us for this great grief and loss course. I’m

blown away by their openness and honesty. We

have already started going deep and they know

the more they open up then the more healing that

takes place for them. I’m really looking forward to

seeing their progress over the time.

Until the next exciting edition of the Chappy

Chapter.

We love our Dads Wishing all our dads, granddads, step-dads and important male

role models in our lives a very happy Father’s Day this weekend.

We hope you enjoy the little gifts your children have bought

home from our stall this week. We know how much thought and

care the kids put in to selecting them for you. A big thank you

to co-ordinator Lou and her merry band of volunteers for setting

up shop!

No Brekky Club Please be aware that there will be no Brekky Club this week

(Monday 26 to Friday 30 August, 2019) or next Monday to

Friday 6 September, 2019), as lovely Lynn is away and

unfortunately our canteen volunteers are a rare and precious

breed. Don’t worry though as Brekky Club will be back from

Monday 9 September 2019. Breakfast is a really important part

of a child’s day as it fuels their brain after a long overnight fast

while they are sleeping so please encourage your children to

eat a healthy breakfast before they get to school this week and

next.

Net-Tastic News Our new grass netball courts are being marked and the posts

are going in! Very soon the kids will be able to practice their

goal shooting and defence at play times. Initiatives like this

happen because of suggestions from parents and fundraising

by your P&C. If you want to help us get more of the fantastic

things our kids want and need, come along and have your say,

lend us a hand volunteering or support our fundraising efforts.

Every little bit you do goes towards the end goal (see what I did

there).

Mad about Mangoes? Good news for Mango lovers. We’re offering a sweet deal of a

whole tray of North QLD Bowen Mangoes for just $30. Spread

the word, we’ll be accepting orders for all families and friends

of Bilambil Public School. A note will be coming home about it

on Monday.

The Bunnings BBQ is Back! Save the date: Saturday 30 November 2019 is our lucky day.

Slots on the Bunnings BBQ fundraiser are hard to come by and

we are very fortunate to have been offered a sausage sizzle on

that day outside the Bunnings store. It is always a very successful

day and our families who volunteer have a lot of laughs.

Please, if you can spare an hour or two on the day to help us

set up, cook, serve, shop or pack up please let us know!

Next Meeting Join us for our next meeting on

Monday 9 September, 2019

commencing at 3.15pm in the

staff room. All welcome.

Second Hand

Jumpers and Hats The clothing fairies have been

through the overflowing lost

property box outside the

library and returned all items

with names on them. However

there were lots of jumpers,

hats and other items that had

no home to go to so they are

now in our second hand

supply at the Uniform Shop. It’s

a good chance to grab a

bargain so why not pop in one

morning when the uniform

shop is open and see what’s

available.

Safety First Please please please think of

our children when you are

running a little late for work

and DON’T take an illegal

right hand turn out of our Kiss

and Drop area AT ANY TIME.

There have been a number of

near misses there with children

and other vehicles. For the

sake of an extra 60 seconds

you could go down around

the roundabout and be on

your way. A U-turn over the

double lines near the bus zone

is no safer. It’s ONE MINUTE of

your time but it could save a

life.
