It is greatly appreciated. I am hoping to see you at our Parent Helpers Morning Tea scheduled for Wednesday 26th November from 10.45-11.30 in the MPR. School Peer Review Update Last week Brunswick North Primary School had its School Review Panel Day. The teachers made presentations to the School Review Panel on the curriculum programs and planning undertaken during the strategic period (last 4 years) with particular focus on this year’s school improvement strategy. Presentations demonstrated how staff monitored and used student achievement data to inform the Teaching & Learning Programs at Brunswick North Primary School. The Year 5/6 Junior School Council Representatives also made a fantastic presentation about student voice and leadership opportunities within our school. The Reviewer and Panel members were extremely impressed with the schools consistent message about our Teaching & Learning Program and the student’s progress and high standard of achievement. The Reviewer noted: “Brunswick North continues to build an extremely positive image within the community and is being acknowledged for some very fine achievements” The purpose of the day is to reflect and review past achievements whilst making constructive suggestions and outlining strategies to guide further improvement for our school. The School Reviewer, Leslie Tulloch, presented the draft School Peer Review Report at School Council last night. The Peer Review Report will then be sent to the Department for processing and once that is completed the Executive Summary will be available on the school website. I congratulate our students whose boundless enthusiasm for learning and participation in school events inspires us all. I thank the parents for their support and their active participation in all facets of school life. I also congratulate the staff for their hard work and commitment to continual improvement at Brunswick North Primary School. The Reviewer noted that: “The work already in place demonstrates excellent signs for further improvement” “All staff is highly committed to the students in their care and are willing to work together to improve outcomes.” “Parents contribute to many areas of the school” The review findings demonstrate that the school is on the right track and that all the effort that everyone in our community puts into to creating a rich learning environment for our students certainly does have an effect on lifting our student learning outcomes. Farewell to Terry Argent This week we say farewell to Terry Argent our very popular PE Teacher and Staff member. Terry has certainly made a wonderful impact on our student’s attitude to playing sports, having fun, demonstrating fair play and resilience when things don’t go our way! Terry leaves us after a long and wonderful career with the Education Department - Well-done Terry- What a great achievement! Enjoy chasing those waves, as you will now be able to spend more time surfing along the Victorian and NSW coast. L’angolo italiano Il Coro dei bambini had a great time with Kavisha at Princes Hill PS. We have started choreographing our canzoni in preparation for our spettacolo! On Wednesday I met with all of our fantastici finalisti for La Festa del canto. We had more than 40 studenti chosen from 120 to perform their versione of Il leone si e` addormentato. They were all really enjoyable with their wonderful props, costumes, pronunciation, memorisation and dance movements! We are only allowed to bring 16 along to our final performance at Princes Hill. Signorina Giulia and myself wish we could take all of them with us! Bravi to everyone for such a brilliant effort. I have taken a video of all the performances so if would like a copy of your child’s presentation please send your USB (chiavetta) along and I will save it for you. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Pearson Street West Brunswick 3055 Phone: 03 9383 1400 Fax: 03 93860583 OSHC: 0405 435 341 Email address: [email protected] Principal: Ms Sonia Abdallah As parents are preparing for the holiday activities I thought you might like to enjoy a show about LA BEFANA, our gift-giver.

Canteen lunches can also be made into Nude Food lunches, by providing a container from home with your child's payment and order.
