School will dismiss at 12.30pm on Thursday June 25 to facilitate the conferences. The Three Way Conferences will be of fifteen minutes duration, the student, teacher and parent/s are all involved in the conference. The first ten minutes are devoted to the student sharing their achievements and discussing their future learning goals using the individual learning journals and student report to support this discussion. Parents can request to speak with the teacher alone for the last five minutes of the conference if they desire or have the full fifteen minutes with the teacher and the student. In the foundation to two classes the conference may not go for the full fifteen minutes but the teacher will gauge this with the students. Parents will be sent an individual login code to access COMPASS to book their conference time on Monday June 15. This is a wonderful 4th June 2015 Volume 43, No 17 opportunity for teachers, students and parents to celebrate the achievements and plan future learning goals together. STUDENT ENGAGEMENT This week I have spent time in classrooms being read to by students which has been very enjoyable. I am particularly pleased at our engaged and interested the students are in reading and sharing their opinions about their books. One of the key challenges, once students learn to read, is to keep them engaged by finding appealing and age appropriate books. I am pleased that our teachers are continually sourcing books which will engage and appeal to our students. An interesting activity parents can do with their children is to share their favourite childhood books also remembering that children need to be exposed to non-fiction as much as fictional books. COMMUNITY Each Thursday the newsletter is posted on the front page of the website at www.pops.vic.edu.au An alert from Tiqbiz is also sent to advise that the newsletter is posted, the Tiqbiz application can be utilised on computers and tablets and not only on phones. In term two we stopped sending an email with the PDF of the newsletter attached, primarily for the purpose of transitioning into our new online communication tool COMPASS. This term parents will receive an individual login to COMPASS from which they will be able to book parent teacher appointments, access student reports, log student absences, ratify student absences and excursions, communicate with teachers, access newsletters, notices and curriculum information and eventually pay accounts. The first stage will begin this term with parents logging into COMPASS to book Three Way Conference appointments and to access student reports. The next stage will be accessing the newsletter in term three; parents will receive an email with a link to login to COMPASS and the newsletter will be posted there. I understand that change is often difficult to come to terms with and can take time to learn and adjust to. Please be assured that we are very keen to communicate effectively and this is why we are working hard to use COMPASS as efficiently as possible and as soon as we can. We are also receptive to the fact that some parents may need support as we transition and we are very happy to help in anyway we can. Please remember you can access the current and past newsletters at any time by logging on to the website at www.pops.vic.edu.au Mrs Daniel PRINCIPAL 04/06/15_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School Y5/6 INTERSCHOOL SPORT MERIT AWARDS Foundation D Jahla G,Pakin T Foundation O Zara M, Jessica S 1K Joshua D, Jasmine H 1P Grace D 2G Allie K 2M Riley D, Mia S 2W William L, Charlotte P 3Q Brodie T 3/4D Aileen H 4D Amy H 5O Freya Q 5W Jacob C 6AB Elise M 6CB Sam B Winter Interschool Sport Round 7 POPS v Yarra Road PS Friday 5th June, 2015 (Melways Map 36 H7) HOME: Soccer, Netball Girls DOMENEY RESERVE: Football AWAY: Volleyball, Bat Tennis, Netball Open WONGA PARK RESERVE: Softball Girls, Softball Open Round 6 Results SNACK SHACK SNACK SHACK ROSTER JUNE Thurs 4 Mrs Moore Fri 5 Mrs Woollands Wed 10 Mrs Bishop Thurs 11 Mrs Moore Fri 12 Mrs Sidebottom Wed 17 Mrs Moore Thurs 18 VACANT Fri 19 Mrs Beck Wed 24 Mrs Schaper Thurs 25 VACANT Fri 26 VACANT Park Orchards versus SCORE 47 Tintern SCORE BAT TENNIS 17 14 SOFTBALL OPEN 14 6 SOFTBALL GIRLS 0 17 NETBALL OPEN 13 12 NETBALL GIRLS 5 VOLLEYBALL 2 sets 1 set 122 0 FOOTBALL SOCCER 6 5 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School FOUNDATION EXCURSION WALK TO SCHOOL 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School AT P OPS - thi s Jun e ho liday 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Park Orchards Primary School ASTHMA REMINDER - Please remember to pack a spacer with your child’s medication WISE ONES TERM 3 04/06/15__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
