Term 4, Edition no. 1
10 October 2014
Principal’s Report
Welcome back to the final term of 2014. I am finding it a little
hard to believe that we have arrived here already. There are a
few staffing changes to announce for term 4. Ms Jessica Harding
will be teaching 2W while Mrs Westerland is on leave for the rest
of the term. Ms Nicole Harris teaches 2K while Mrs Jodie Kemp is
on leave for the rest of term. Ms Amanda Brown replaces Prep H
teacher aide Mrs Sheridan Dodson while Sheridan supports our
Early Intervention Program for the remainder of the year. Ms
Danielle Walters will act as HOSES while Mrs Melinda Jurgeneit is
on sick leave until the 27 October 2014.
Yesterday I met with Steve Minnikin and Keith Money, Director of
Capital Works and Planning. I am very pleased to share with the
community that the Masterplan is back on the agenda. At this
stage it looks like Stage 1 will begin before the end of the year. I
will be consulting with community stakeholders over the next
couple of weeks to sign off so that work can commence. More
information will be available at the P&C Meeting on Tuesday
night.
Attached is the link to a Students Not Returning form which will
provide us information about which families intend to continue
their enrolment at Gumdale for 2015. This information is vital to
our planning processes over the next few weeks. It would be
appreciated if these could be returned at your earliest possible
convenience so that we can have an accurate as possible picture
to assist us in this planning. Please note that this form is not
required for year 6 and 7 students departing for high school.

Overdue Books
Library News
We have over 75 students with books which are currently listed as overdue. Some of
these books are from 2013. Students are not allowed to borrow if they have an
overdue book. Notes were sent home with these students this week.
Book Fair Update
16 new digital cameras have been purchased with the funds raised from last term’s
Book Fair. These cameras will be available to be borrowed by classroom teachers for
use in the classrooms.
Author Visits
Students enjoyed listening to Pat Flynn and Cameron Stelzer talk about how they
come up with ideas for stories and the process involved in getting books published.
There were lots of excited students with author autographs roaming the school.
Free websites
There are also many free websites that offer interactive storybooks including:
www.starfall.com
www.turtlediary.com/kids-stories.html
www.magickeys.com/books/
www.storylineonline.net/
Reading material is all around us, from magazines, television
guides, signs in the supermarket to food wrappers and road signs.
Reinforce the concept that reading is essential for everyone, every day.
Thank you.

ToM Update
ToM State Finals
The ToM State Finals were on this past weekend at Griffith University Nathan Campus
and was a huge event with nearly 600 students both from primary and secondary
schools participating in four different categories; Maths Engineering, Social Science,
Applied Technology and Language Literature.
Our team participated in the Maths Engineering category and were given a challenge
relating to it, which we had to solve during a 3 hour period (known as lockdown) with
a teacher from another school. During this period we also had to solve another
problem during a short 4 and a half minute session, which required quick thinking and
teamwork involving listening to and building upon each other’s ideas to come up with
an answer that was creative but suited the criteria.
Once the 3 hour session was finished we dropped off our device and props in our
presentation room and had lunch. After lunch we went back to our presentation room
and sat down to watch the 7 other primary Maths Engineering teams perform as we
were the last to present. We really enjoyed presenting our solution to the problem to
our families, Miss Tapinos, Mr Lim and Mrs Herbert.
After the presentation it was time for the
awards ceremony, thankfully the Maths
Engineering primary division winners were
announced first so we didn’t have an anxious
wait, second place was Villanova College and
first was Immanuel Lutheran College.
Although we didn’t win, we all had a greatly
enjoyable day and would like to give a special
thanks to Miss Tapinos and Mr Lim for their
constant support and help with training and
preparing for the regional and state finals.

Gumdale Arts Show
On September 16 Gumdale SS staged the second “Gumdale Arts Show”. All of the
students from Prep to Year 6 worked in their classrooms to complete one piece of art
for display, with the common theme “Connect to Reading”. The pieces in the
Classwork Section ranged from mixed media to photography to portraits and
everything in between.
In the Open Section, students were invited to create art at home, with free choice of
theme and medium. This section saw the display of pastels, photography, sculpture,
collage and many other mediums.
Art teachers from Wynnum State High, Brisbane Bayside State College and Capalaba
State College kindly agreed to be our judges. They judged students in year levels in
the Classwork Section and the Open Section, awarding a first place ribbon and three
highly commended ribbons in each section. All of the judges commented on the high
standard of work and the amazing creativity of Gumdale students. The awarded
artists were recognised on assembly with certificates.
Many of our Gumdale parents, grandparents, siblings and staff entered work for
display in the unjudged “Community Section”. We were delighted to be able to
showcase such incredible talent! Much of the art work in the Community and Open
Sections was available for purchase.
This year we expanded the Art Show to showcase musical talent from throughout the
school. Many thanks to those brave and talented students!

The Art Show was open on Tuesday evening, 16 September. We had an enthusiastic
response from families who dropped in for a look. There was a delicious supper
available courtesy of the hard working team from the P&C.
Many thanks to the dedicated team who worked to stage the Arts Show and the
families who supported this wonderful event.

YMCA Gumdale
YMCA Gumdale Newsletter
Good morning parents and guardians, please allow me to introduce myself, my name
is Michelle and I’m the new coordinator at the YMCA Gumdale Outside School Hours
Care (OSHC). We are very excited to be a part of the Gumdale community and look
forward to getting to know everyone over the coming weeks. We are new and we
understand we are slightly different from the last providers, please don’t hesitate to
come and meet with me if you have any questions or would like to discuss care
arrangements, we are happy to help where ever possible.
Vacation care was a massive success, it was great fun getting to know all the new
smiling faces. The highlight of our holidays was our amazing excursion to Acacia
Ridge Leisure Centre. The children enjoyed an hour in the gymnastics gymnasium
under the guidance of YMCA’s qualified instructors followed by an hour swim in the
outdoor pool before a quick lunch and play in the park. A wonderful day was had by
all!
We’ve had many questions about bookings and availability, we have plenty of spots
available every morning and afternoon, so please don’t hesitate to drop in or give us
a call if you would like to join before and after school care. We serve breakfast each
morning before 8.00am and serve afternoon tea each afternoon, our menu is
displayed in service for the current week.
Pupil Free Day Monday 20 October 2014
Yes we are open for bookings on the pupil free day. We will be open from 6:00am –
6:00pm. Please contact Michelle to enrol your child/ren.
It is with great delight that we welcome Tim, Sue, Tracy, Daniel and James to the
YMCA community, most of you will already be familiar with them as they came across
to YMCA from the previous providers and have been amazing since YMCA took over
the running of the before and after school care. We look forward to working with
them in the future and thank them for their commitment to the Gumdale OSHC
children and families thus far.
Disco Thursday 16 October 2014
We would like to welcome you to the YMCA in style, we are having a DISCO and
sausage sizzle on Thursday on 16.10.14 at 3.15pm – 5.15pm, all enrolled children
and their parents are invited to attend. It will be a fantastic opportunity for the staff
to get to know you over a sausage sizzle, a soft drink and some party food. The
children will no doubt enjoy the entertainment put on by DJ Brad, who will have them
dancing, jumping and playing games for the afternoon. If you’re not normally booked
in on Thursday afternoons, please feel free to make a casual booking and come on
down and enjoy the DISCO. There will be a small charge of $5.00 per child that will
include 2 hours of entertainment from DJ Brad, a sausage sizzle, party food and a soft
drink for parents. Please RSVP your attendance by Wednesday 15.10.14 at the very
latest for catering and staffing purposes. We look forward to seeing you at our first
YMCA family event!

Christmas Card Competition – from Steve Minnikin
With Christmas fast-approaching, I am in the process of organising my Christmas
card mail-out to the Chatsworth Electorate. I would like to extend the opportunity for
all Primary school students at your school to enter the Chatsworth Christmas Card
Competition for 2014.
Students simply need to complete a Christmas-themed drawing (DL-sized) to enter.
Please find the link to the entry form attached. Should students wish to participate,
please advise my Electorate Office as soon as possible, so the entry forms can be
delivered to your school.
Please note that I will need to receive your school’s entries to my Electorate Office by
COB 24 October, 2014. For entry form please follow the link and print.
http://gumdaless.eq.edu.au/Supportandresources/Formsanddocuments/Documents/MISCEntry%20form%202014.pdf
I will then select the winning piece of artwork, which will feature on the cover of my
Christmas card for 2014, which will be distributed to approximately 20,000
households across the electorate. The card will list the first name, year level and
school of the winning entrant. However even though I will pick one winner to feature
on the cover of my Christmas Card, there will also be an IPod shuffle for a student
from each school who are chosen to have the best artwork out of their school.
Additionally, I will be choosing one lucky parent or guardian randomly selected out of
all the entries across the electorate to win an Apple TV and $50 grocery voucher.
Finally every student who enters the competition will receive a participation
certificate, acknowledging their efforts. I hope some of your students choose to be
involved with this exciting competition.
Yours sincerely

P&C President’s Report
Hi everybody, I hope you all had a wonderful break and are now fully refreshed for
Term 4.
ART SHOW
This was run in the school hall and the artwork that I looked at by the children who
participated was exceptional. The creativity of our students is amazing and I was
impressed by the different way each child chose to represent their surroundings and
the things that they like through art. Also there were some wonderful works on
display by the teachers, and again these were of a high standard. I would like to say
a big thankyou to all those who took the time to create and submit something and
transform the hall into a wonderful art space.
I would also like to thank the volunteers and teachers who helped to set up and pack
up, for, baking food to sell, and operating the canteen and door. Without volunteers
these events would not be feasible.
Car Parking
The middle parking area is now concreted and there is an extra crossing in place.
Reverse parking signs are up so please be aware.
Fashion Night
The fashion night draws closer and tickets are on sale soon. So PLEASE support the
P&C, which in turn supports the school. Based on past events, the Fashion night will
once again be an incredible event.
Petrol Station
This is just a reminder that the new petrol station is open so could parents and
children please be aware of the vehicles that may be utilising this facility.
Bunnings Sausage Sizzle

the new Manly West Bunnings store.
You can support the school by either
volunteering or purchasing a sausage! Volunteers are needed to operate the BBQ stall

[email protected], seven days prior to the next general meeting.
P and C Meetings
We encourage all members to bring along another parent to the next 7pm meeting on
14 October 2014. This has been a proactive move to further increase the number of
parents attending each meeting. It is a friendly group of parents who often have a
laugh, share their ideas on important issues in the school and give timely feedback on
the variety of activities the P and C coordinate. We encourage all parents to come
along to the next meeting; we will save a seat for you!

HOON HOTLINE
Have you ever heard hoons during the night but haven’t bothered
reporting to Police because you think they are too busy? Well you
can report hoons to the HOON hotline. To counter hooning, the police set up a
dedicated Hoon Hotline in December 2010.
You can report hoons online or by calling the Hoon Hotline on 13HOON (13 4666).
If possible you should tell the operator:
· what the vehicle is and looks like
· what hooning activity the vehicle was doing
· the registration plates

This will help the police identify and stop the hoon. If you have an email address you
can also report a hooning incident online
