Strike Action

Site closure – 1 July 2019

I am writing to inform you that Rose Park Primary school will be closed for the whole of the school day

on Monday 1 July 2019 due to a vote for industrial action by members of the Australian Education Union at this

site.

The Education Director has approved the closure on the grounds that insufficient staff will be on duty to enable

me as Principal to ensure that adequate standards of student safety and welfare can be provided.

Normal education programs will resume on Tuesday 2 July 2019.

In support of the Industrial action taken by members of the AEU, OSHC will also be closed on Monday 1st July

2019.

Please contact the school on 8331 7521 if you have any questions regarding this information.

Student Absences

Can families please advise the Front Office if their child is absent from school, via one of the following methods:

Telephoning the office on 8331 7521

Via Skoolbag App

If your child is late, they must be signed in at the Front Office by a parent, or have a handwritten note from a

parent. Students will receive a slip to take to their teacher. Students who are late and arrive at the classroom

without a slip will be directed to the Front Office.

Assembly Awards

Joshua W was awarded the highest award in Cub Scouts, the Grey Wolf Award, by the

Branch Commissioner at Scouts Headquarters on 23rd June. Joshua is a member of the

Rose Park and Norwood Scout Group. Congratulations Joshua, on your hard work.

Reminder—students will be dismissed at 2.20 pm on Friday 5

July for the last day of Term 2

Introducing our SRC Leaders

The SRC represents the views of the students of Rose Park Primary School. The SRC is an integral part of the

decision-making, which occurs through the school. Over the coming weeks, each Snapshot will introduce our

Year 7 SRC Leaders. Here are our next two;

Introducing SRC Leader: Diana B.

As an SRC Leader, I hope to… help enhance the reputation of Rose Park Primary School

in different aspects.

Something you don’t know about me is… that I moved to Adelaide from Sydney in 2016.

It was hard since I had lived there for most of my life but I am absolutely loving Adelaide

and the people here.

I read… I love reading books like Harry Potter (by J.K Rowling) and Wonder (by R.J

Palacio). I love classics as well, and have recently started reading Little Women (by

Louisa May Alcott).

I like to… I have been playing tennis for just over a year now and loving playing in my free time. One thing I

would really love to try in the future is photography.

I listen to… soundtracks from movies such as, The Greatest Showman, and some Disney movies, but I also like

listening to singers like Adele and Vance Joy.

One day I hope to… get a job that will not only be beneficial to me, but to those around me as well.

If I could change something in the world, I would… like to help less-fortunate people in third-world countries.

The best thing about Rose Park Primary School for me is… definitely the people. From the kids to the staff, Rose

Park is so inclusive and welcoming. :)

Someone I really look up to is… There are so many people I look up to for different things, these include

Zendaya and Emma Watson for being so hospitable and always standing up for what they believe in. I also

really look up to my parents because of so many reasons, the main ones being that they are loving, inspiring

and hard-working.

Introducing SRC Leader: Claudia B.

As an SRC Leader, I hope to… help, motivate, listen to and represent all the students at

Rose Park Primary. I also hope to make every student at Rose Park feel valued and

respected.

Something you don’t know about me is… that I love to go surfing whenever I have an

opportunity. My favourite surfing location is at Long Beach, Robe.

I read… books with strong, independent young female protagonists who stand up for

their beliefs.

I like to… spend my spare time singing, dancing, acting and playing netball.

I listen to… others’ opinions and ideas with respect and an open mind.

One day I hope to… become a strong leader and be an important part of making decisions that will affect

the world and our future.

If I could change something in the world, I would… make politicians address climate change immediately!

The best thing about Rose Park Primary School for me… is being part of a cooperative, respectful and positive

school community and the fun events that are held, such as, sports day, charities day and casual clothes day.

Someone I really look up to is Emma Watson… because… she is both an actor and activist who uses her

influence to fight for female rights and education around the world.
