WEEK 5 TERM 4 Commencing Monday 11th November 2019
We have reached what will quite possibly be the busiest period of another non-stop year at Parkview Public School. Week 5 of the new term is best described as Excursion Week, with our major Stage 2 and Stage 3 Excursions set to depart later this week, bound for Canberra (Years 5 & 6) and Dubbo and Wellington (Years 3 & 4).
It is also the week when we commence our month long learn to swim programs, with students in Kindergarten and Year 1 spending the next two weeks enjoying learning opportunities at the Leeton Pool. Students are reminded to bring towels, sunscreen and swimming attire on a daily basis! Last week was quite an incredible week in our community, with a range of outstanding achievements for our children. It all started on Wednesday and Thursday with the NSWPSSA Athletics Championships at Sydney Olympic Park. Kobe O’Callaghan, Angel Florijancic, Blake Heath and Jacobby O’Connell all represented Riverina at the event with some incredible performances produced by our students. A full re-cap of their achievements can be found in Talking Sport. On Friday, also in Sydney at the Headquarters of the ABC in Ultimo, Montana Nardi represented at the NSW Finals of the Stage 2 Premiers Spelling Bee. It was an extremely long day of competition with Montana becoming the youngest ever finalist at the event. Despite this, Montana did herself, her family and her school proud by progressing all the way to the fourth round of the competition before being eliminated, finishing inside the top half of competitors in the competition. Montana received great feedback from Spelling Bee Officer Desiree Lane from the Arts Unit who was very impressed with Montana’s efforts at such a young age, reminding us all that there are over 170,000 students in the competition state wide and Montana made her way to the top 25! We congratulate Montana on an incredible achievement! The entire Parkview community is proud of your efforts! Closer to home on Friday saw the annual running of the Leeton Community Of Public Schools Chess Championships. Parkview has a fine tradition in this event and so it was again that our finest tactical minds represented us with distinction. In total, Parkview a 12 strong representative team at the event, with two of our students, Charlie Watson and Jaden Roode contesting the final. In a gripping match up, Jaden came out on top to be crowned LCOPS Chess Champion for 2019. For Charlie, it was the third consecutive year he has finished in the top 3 at the event which is an outstanding achievement! Congratulations to all of the Parkview students who represented our school at the event. There is much more to consider as we approach the half way mark of the term. Please consider the following as you plan your week: Sound Scouts As most people know, one of the most important elements of a child’s learning centres around their ability to hear. An estimated 1 in 10 children suffer from hearing loss which when left undetected can lead to speech, learning and behavioural problems. The Sound Scouts App is now available free to test all Australian school-aged children today! Later in the newsletter there is a flyer outlining more information about the ‘do-it-yourself’ program, or alternatively if you do not feel confident doing it, we can arrange it to be done for you at school. If you are reading this electronically, you can click on the link below to view a YouTube clip linked to the program. https://youtu.be/AcrGaNtOXtM
Website Photo Gallery Have you checked out the Photo Gallery on our website recently? There’s 1000s of photos available from any number of school activities.
Simply click on the album you want, which will take you to a preview page of usually 5-8 photos. That page will include a link to our Google Photos site.... and that’s when it gets exciting!
Why not jump on this weekend and re-live some of our recent events such as: -Kinder Transition -Grandparents Day -Gralee Sensory Fun Run -Cricket Blast Gala Day -Footy Colours Day -Ian Lucas Memorial Public Speaking -IHHP Concert -Netball Gala Day
... and much, much more!

Class of 2019 Christmas Toy Drive Our Year 6 students are again hosting their Annual Toy Drive, hoping to add a little Christmas Cheer to the lives of families who need it across Leeton.
The Class of 2019 asks that if you can spare something for families less fortunate than yours, that you leave it under the Christmas Tree in the School Administration Office Foyer, from where they will be collected, wrapped and re-distributed by our Year 6 students later in the term.

We encourage all parents and carers who are yet to register their children to do so in the coming couple of days ahead of the next day of transition. If you do not have a registration form or have misplaced yours, please contact the school’s Administration Office to secure your copy. Please contact the school if you have any questions or concerns in relation to this process. School Banking School Banking day is Tuesday! Children are encouraged to bring their bank books to the school and leave them in their class banking folder for processing. These books will then be returned to students on a Wednesday in preparation for the following week.

TALKING SPORT – WEEK 4, TERM 4
NSWPSSA Athletics Championships Four Parkview students have returned from the sporting adventure of a life time representing the Riverina at the NSWPSSA Athletics Championships at Sydney Olympic Park last Wednesday
and Thursday. Our students produced some outstanding performances over the two days and should be justifiably proud of the efforts. Kobe O’Callaghan finished 34th/ 37 competitors with a clearance of 1.35m which was just 5cm short of his personal best. Angel Florijancic prodcued a wonderful performance in the 11 Years Shot Put throwing a huge personal best of 9.02m to finish an impressive 21st/ 40. Jacobby O’Connell has a very busy 2 days in the 13 Years 100m Boys event. He finished 15th/ 35 in the heats in a time of 14.50 which qualified him for the Semi Finals on the Thursday. In the Semi Finals he ran a personal best time of 14.38 finishing 12th/ 16 competitors. Blake Heath had a very busy championships competing in four events. He finished 14th/ 19 with a throw of 2.76m in Junior Multi Class Shot Put; 17th/ 21 in the Junior Boys 200m Multi Class 200m in a time of 51.44; 11th/ 17 in the Junior Boys Multi Class Long Jump with a jump of 1.80m and ran a time of 4:10.37 in Junior Boys Multi Class 800m. All of the children were outstandig ambassadors for our community, and students back at school really enjoyed cheering their school mates on via the School Sport Unit Live Stream.
Farrell Cup Ball Games The eagerly anticipated Farrell Cup Ball Games Championships will be hosted on Friday, 29th
November. This event is always the sporting highlight of term for our Sporting Houses, with all students K-6 competing for vital points in the time honoured event. With the House Championships still very much up for grabs, the points gained from the Farrell Cup could well determine our overall champions for 2019. Action will take place in the Quadrangle between 9am-11am on the day, with all interested community members encouraged to attend and support their children.
