From the Principal’s Desk reSpect reSilience reSponSibilitY endeAvoUr tolerAnce These are the five most important words at Adam Road Primary School. They are the School Values. All staff members, teaching and non-teaching, and a member of our school board met last Thursday afternoon to develop a set of values for the school. The five values above were chosen from a long list, after much discussion and debate and agreed on as the key values we as a school community are committed to developing in our students. All classes are now developing quite specific lists of behaviours that demonstrate these values. To reinforce these behaviours each class will be awarding two Values Awards each fortnight to students who have demonstrated one or more of our values. These awards will be presented by me or a Deputy Principal as they are earnt during the fortnight and the student will receive five faction tokens. All students who earn a Values Award during the fortnight will go into the draw for one of two canteen vouchers that will be presented at each assembly. Please reinforce the importance of these values in all aspects of life with your children. It is important that we all demonstrate these values, particularly when at Adam Road, to ensure our school is providing a supportive and encouraging learning environment for all students. Our Year 3 and 5 students are completing NAPLAN Tests to assess their literacy and numeracy skills this week as are students of this age all over Australia. Reports detailing the results of these tests will be sent home at the end of this term.

Year 6 students got to visit the HOTFM/RadioWest Building as part of their clubs program, “Radio Adam Road”. The program is designed to investigate working in the radio industry with the ultimate goal of creating their own lunch time radio stations. The tour was run by breakfast show hosts, RYAN AND ROSIE as the students got to explore studios, play music and meet the writers, producers, sound engineers, hosts and even the BIG BOSS of HOTFM. They even got to have their voices recorded to play on the air! So keep an ear on the radio, you might just hear some familiar Adam Roadster voices! Before we knew it, it was time to go back to school, but all students felt inspired and excited about possibly working in the radio industry in the future as it seems like a ‘pretty cool’ place to work. Miss Olsen would like to thank the people from HOTFM who organised, ran or were a part of our tour that took the time to meet and talk with the Clubs- Music group. Well done to the students who represented Adam Road; HOTFM are excited to see us again in the future.
