Dear Parents and Friends,
My final opportunity to promote the parent information evening, “Supporting the Development of a Resilient Child” with Hugh van Cuylenburg this MONDAY 20th OCTOBER (7pm start)
Over the last few newsletters I have been providing information on this special evening, made
mention at school assemblies and displayed posters around the school. I believe it will be a very
powerful and helpful presentation and would like to see many Glenrowan/Winton parents in
attendance. Our cluster is aiming at providing our parents with one combined information
evening around social development/parenting per year. Last year we held an evening on Cyberbullying here at Glenrowan. This year the venue is Milawa Primary School as we are sharing
around the location. Please complete the RSVP slip sent home yesterday and return it to school
by Friday 17th October. Hoping to see you there.
Next week is our Review Week across both schools. The reviewer, Carolyn Woodhouse, will be
at Glenrowan on Monday and Tuesday and then at Winton for Wednesday and Thursday morning. The purpose of the review is to ensure we are improving our practice and continuing to
move forward. Add to this the Questacon-Science shows on the Wednesday (23rd) and we have
a busy, action packed week ahead.
Regards
Colin

SWIMMING PROGRAM IN TERM 4
Our term 4 swimming program will be
held in December for all grades. Cost of
the program to parents is $70 per child.
($60 for Grade 5/6 students due their
missing a session on the Transition Day)
We strongly encourage ALL children to
be involved in the swimming program
both as part of our physical education
program and as a lead into the swimming activities throughout the summer
season.
The Program will be held on the 8th,
9th, 10th, 11th, 15th and 16th of December—ie. It is spread over two weeks. Session times will vary with the pool’s timetable.
RESILIENCE EVENING FOR PARENTS
Monday 20th October at 7pm
Resilience is one of the best life skills that we can have in life and depending on what is
happening at any particular point in time can depend on our resilient threshold. If you
are resilient you are able to cope reasonably well with difficult situations and things
that go wrong and then ‘bounce back’. Throughout life children will need skills and
attitudes to help them to bounce back. They will encounter everyday challenges such
as making mistakes, falling out with a friend, moving house or school and losing a
sports competition. Many will also face challenges such as adapting to family break
ups, a stepfamily, the illness or death of a family member, or being bullied.
After talking to some colleagues in Melbourne and Geelong they have all recommended a presenter that they have recently had at their schools and said that their students, staff and parents gained a lot from hearing him talk. We have been lucky
enough to secure Hugh Van Cuylenburg on the 20th October for both a staff professional development and also a parent professional development session. This event is
a cluster event and will be held at Milawa Primary School as it is central to all cluster
schools.
The presentation will start at 7pm sharp and go for approx. 1 hour & 40 minutes. Parents are asked to bring a plate of supper to share.
