21 May 2015 Dates to Remember Senior Parades—Friday, odd weeks Junior Parades—Friday, even weeks All welcome to attend! May 22 WALK 2 SCHOOL DAY Senior Assembly—Years 3-6 Assembly item presented by 5K School Banking 26 NAPLAN: I’m delighted to report, that despite media claims about the stresses of NAPLAN, Caboolture East students have put their ‘best foot forward.’ They arrived each day, thanks to family support, ready and willing to do their best. Ably supported by our fantastic staff our students applied themselves to the variety of tasks presented. Students in Years 3 and 5 sat expectantly in rows, receiving their work books and listening carefully to their teacher’s instructions. When it was time to begin they proceeded with calm determination. This demonstrates that our students have been well prepared ie ‘test ready’ and showing ‘academic tenacity’. Academic tenacity is about working hard, working smart and looking beyond short-term concerns to longer term goals. So as we concluded our NAPLAN tests last week I know our students had put in their best effort. An individual NAPLAN report for each child will be sent home later this year. Results provide additional feedback for parents, carers and teachers on how students are progressing in key curriculum areas. Further NAPLAN information for parents and carers is available online. http://www.nap.edu.au/ NATIONAL SORRY DAY Author Chris Collin visits Year 2 P&C Meeting—6:30pm start 27 UNDER 8’s DAY 28 School Photos 29 School Photos Year 6 Chinatown Excursion School Banking June 3 Coffee Connection—2:15pm start 5 Year 1 Museum/Science Centre Excursion Report EVERY Absence — It’s the Law — ANZAC ASSEMBLIES: Both our Anzac Assemblies this year were heartfelt experiences for our students in remembering the Australians who served and died in war. Two students from each class placed a wreath to commemorate this important day. A huge thank you goes to Mr Tagg and Mr Goldsmith, who have spent many weeks organising and preparing for this important event. UNDER 8’S DAY: Under 8’s Day this year is fast approaching. It will be held in Week 6, Wednesday, May 26. All children in Prep to Year 2 will be attending this event. We are hoping to again have the ‘Fire Truck’ here for the morning, as well as our ‘Adopt-a-Cop’. I know the children enjoyed having a chat with the Fireman and Policeman, as well as climbing in and out of both vehicles. ARRIVING TO SCHOOL: It is super important that all students arrive at school on time. There are a number of students who are often late and they are missing out on important learning that happens at the beginning of the day. It would be appreciated if parents could make sure their children arrive on time; we know that when this happens they are more likely to have a successful learning day. JUMPERS: As the weather is getting cooler, many students are starting to wear their jumpers. Please remember that jumpers other than the school jumper are not to be worn at school. We definitely want our students wearing the correct jumper; we also want them to be warm as the winter months approach. ATTENDANCE: The race is on! Attendance Does Matter and Every Day Counts! Each class has the opportunity to ‘take out’ the fortnightly assembly award for the class with the ‘Best Attendance’. The results will be posted on our Caboolture East State School Facebook page. Good luck to all our classes. 5431 6160 Have a fantastic fortnight everybody!!

With attendance rates at an all-time high across the country’s many events it was fantastic to see so many of our students and families respond and attend. As a school we are very proud of our involvement in this annual commemoration and place great pride and value in our school’s participation. Many thanks to everyone participating on the day. INDIVIDUAL CURRICULUM PLAN: With the introduction of the Australian Curriculum, and subsequent policy documents, all school–aged students working above or below their age cohort curriculum are required to have an Individual Curriculum Plan (ICP). This ICP will document a child’s intended curriculum and their learning expectations for the reporting period. Decisions are based on a collaborative analysis of student achievement data and in consultation with the student’s parent(s)/ carers. An individual curriculum plan documents: • the nominated year level of the Australian Curriculum to be taught during the next reporting period • the learning goals/expectations taken from the relevant unit of work and linked to achievements standards At the end of the 2014 school year the Active After School Program underwent a major review of operations and funding supply from the Federal Government. As a result of this review the program ceased and Government bodies began the restructuring of a new program called Sporting Schools. • the adjustments and differentiations given to support student learning • focused teaching strategies to be used during the next reporting period • other support to be provided • parental consultation and approval is required Caboolture East State School has been successful in gaining funding for the 2015 school year with applications submitted and negotiation with sporting organisations commencing to deliver programs at the school. Please NOTE: Students accessing the ECDP (not yet school-age) will not have an ICP, but will continue with an IEP (Individual Education Plan). SPORTING SCHOOLS: • Help students foster healthy and active living habits, INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT PLAN (ISP): An individual support plan is designed to support the student’s disability and their ACCESS to the curriculum. The class teacher, SEP teacher and parents collaboratively design goals or expectations that are based on individual needs. Some of these goals can relate to areas in communication, social areas, fine motor /gross motor skills or organization and learning environment. If required, these goals can be reviewed each semester. The important focus of the Individual Support Plan is to document specific goals/skills required by an individual student and the range of adjustments that will support development of these skills or learning goals. • Support health and physical outcomes in the school curriculum, NEW TROLLEY FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES AT COLES: After two years of research to design and manufacture , a • Access nationally endorsed sports products and certified coaches, Sporting Schools has partnerships with 32 official sporting associations across Australia. They are all about fostering a lifelong interest in sport among children. The flexibility in the new structure enables schools to provide programs before, during and after school. Goals of the new structure: • • education Access a range of training and development material to support teachers in delivery of sport based programmes Design programs that create important links between school, sport and local community. As program arrangements are completed further information will be released inviting students to participate in activities and to provide program support currently on offer. new specially designed supermarket trolley to assist parents who have children with a disability is available at Coles. This new trolley will allow parents or carers of children with a disability, to be able to place all their groceries in a trolley while also having their child seated safely. The trolley, which was originally based on a US trolley known as “Caroline’s Cart”, allows for a child of up to 70 kilograms in weight and has padding on the sides, a harness and additional support in its structure. Coles will provide the additional needs trolley to any stores who request one on behalf of their customers. If you request further information please contact your local Coles supermarket manager. Curriculum Corner . . . — Shane Hoy Unlocking the reader and writer within us through oral language I often speak with students and staff about the link reading, writing and oral literacies have with each other. Rich and robust conversations with our students is key!! I saw this conversation jar idea on momastery.com and thought it was worthwhile sharing, it has certainly sparked conversation in our house. I love it when someone asks me a thoughtful question for three reasons. First, it shows that the other person cares enough to try to get to know me. Second, it shows curiosity – which is one of my favorite traits. Third, a thoughtful question offers me the opportunity to unlock rooms inside myself I’ve never explored before. Put this jar on the kitchen table and a few times a week, take turns pulling out a question during dinner. And so I reach in and pull out a key: “If you were an inventor – what would you invent, and why?” And then it’s quiet for a moment. Everyone makes there thinking face. They are searching themselves. They are looking inside to see what they’ll find and as soon as they find it: there it is - their hands fly up and they say: “I know I know!!” And then they pull something out of themselves that they didn’t even know was there. Look! Look what I found inside of me! And the family laughs or nods and either way we are saying: wow that is so cool. I didn’t even know that about you! I didn’t even know that room inside of you existed. There are a billion little rooms inside each of your children that remain locked up, unexplored, and a good question can lead you right inside. This jar livens up your evenings and helps you get to know your children better. But it doesn’t end there. HERE IS AN IMPORTANT PART: Kids who learn to be self-aware tend to become others aware and world aware. We want our children to understand themselves, the people in their lives, and the world they live in. Chappy’s Corner . . . — Chloe Gray I have heard many stories about the unexpected weather event we experienced a few weeks back. Some exciting, some frustrating and some of significant loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to those families in our surrounding community who lost loved ones during the time. I know the community, local churches, chaplains and schools are doing all they can to support these families in their time of need. What an awesome community we have!! That being said, if you were affected in any way from the floods please make sure you have someone to support you through these tough times. You are more than welcome to come and chat to myself and I will aim to help through the chaplaincy service provided by our school. Often in times of trouble we find out how strong we really are, so over the next couple of weeks whilst things are getting back to normal lets try and see these challenges as opportunities rather than problems – who knows what we could accomplish with that thinking! Youth was cancelled due to the floods but make no mistake it will be back on this week (29th May) in the hall at 6:30pm! If you are between the ages 10 – 16yrs, or you know anyone between those ages they are all welcome to come along and check out CabEastYouth! I and the rest of the team look forward to seeing you there! As always don’t be a stranger, students are more than welcome to come to my room every 1st break for games, iPad, handball and a safe place to hangout! Chinese Culture Excursion 29 of May 2015 On Friday, the 29th of May 2015, our school will conduct a Chinese culture excursion to the Chung Tian Temple and Brisbane Chinatown for all Year Six students. All students are encouraged to participate. This will be a great opportunity for students to experience and understand Chinese culture and history. It fits our current strategies for language learning, based on the belief that language skills and cultural sensitivity provide important planks for the success of our students in the world of tomorrow, and allows them to compete effectively in the globalized workplaces and employment markets of the future. This will be a very valuable experience for students. Dan Wu LOTE teacher PARKING—Parking around schools is limited and some drivers have been parking in the school grounds, on neighbouring properties (in some instances, blocking driveways) and also in No Stopping/Standing/ Parking zones, bus stops. These zones are marked with Yellow lines. Not only are these inconsiderate actions dangerous for our students but they also cause considerable distress to those who are disadvantaged. Your continued support and respect for others in this matter will be appreciated. Sports News . . . — Peter Reynolds Our recent Cross Country was held over 4 days. This allowed all age groups to run in the cool of the morning and help eliminate the possibility of heat related illnesses. The days were a great success with almost 100% of students completing the course. I would like to not only congratulate the place getters but all participants. The enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown by runners and support staff was not only a credit to themselves but also their house. Also a huge thank you to the Active Leaders who helped officiate on the day, without your help the Cross Country would not have been possible.

Again the Active Leaders stood up and took on the many roles required to run the Cross Country safely. Their efforts allowed for a smooth running of the event. They directed students around the course, ran messages from the judges to the co-ordinator and monitored runners throughout the course, alerting the Head Marshal to any situation that appeared dangerous or troubling (asthma was a big concern this year rather tan heat). On behalf of the school I thank them for all their efforts throughout the Cross Country. TERM 1 SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS: Reflection on our sporting achievements in Term 1. We had a very successful AFL campaign with our Junior Girls winning the Grand Final against Caboolture. Our Senior Girls were competitive throughout the season and finished third after losing their Preliminary Final. It was a great effort by the girls to get as far as they did. Our Rugby League Boys had a very successful campaign with the Juniors taking out third place and our Senior Boys losing the Grand Final in the last 30 seconds of the game. The NRL were the facilitators of the competition, commended the boys on their skill and sportsmanship throughout the contest. AFL Junior Premiers 2015 Our Softball Girls and Soccer Boys also competed at the highest level achieving some outstanding results. For a number of our students this was their first time representing our school on the sporting field. Their sportsmanship, behaviour and skill level was a credit to themselves and the school. I would like to thank all coaches for their dedication and time throughout the term. Without their support and effort we would not have been able to field as many sporting teams as we did. DISTRICT TEAMS: The pinnacle of sporting achievement is to be selected in the Caboolture District Team. In 2015 we have had a number of students achieve this honour. The following student have or will represent the 27 schools of the Caboolture District.

Na onally Consistent Collec on of Data on School Students with Disability in 2015 Caboolture East State School is participating in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with a Disability. The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability is a collection of data about the number of school students with disability or will have in the future. The definition of disability under the broad definition found in the “Disability Discrimination Act, 1992” and can include illness, diseases, anxiety, and specific learning needs, to name a few. From this year, all Australian schools will be collecting this information each year. What is the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data? The nationally consistent approach to data collection is aimed at providing all Australian schools, education authorities and the community with a clear picture of the number of students with disability in schools and the adjustments they require to enable them to participate in education on the same basis as other students. The data collection will involve collecting the following : the number of students receiving adjustments to enable them to participate in education on the same basis as other students; the level of adjustment provided (no adjustment at this time, supplementary, substantial or extensive adjustment); and where known, the student’s type of disability. Student names will not be captured. What will the data be used for? Once this data has been collected ,Caboolture East will de-identify the data so that no students names are captured before providing it to the Australian Government Department Of Education. The Australian Government Department Of Education will use the information collected for the purposes of preparing reports for briefing to State and Territory Ministers of Education. For the purposes of preparing this data the Australian Government Department of Education will ensure that no students identity could reasonably be ascertained. How will the data from the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability be used? The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability may be used to inform policy for future funding that is fair and accurately reflects the provisions provided to students. The data will also enable all governments to better target and more consistently support students with disability wherever they live and whatever school they attend so that they can participate in schooling on the same basis as other students. Involvement in the Data collection is encouraged. However if you do not want the school to provide de identified data about your child to the Australian Government Department of Education , please complete and return the attached OPT OUT section to the school by Friday 29 May 2015 or if you require further information on the data collection process please contact Mrs Julietta Heywood on 5431-6111.
