Leadership Report

We were thankful to return to a week of normalcy, full of learning! We extend our compassion to the surrounding communities recovering from the floods and recent weather events.

To start our busy week, we kicked off our Number Fluency Program across all classes (see article below) and Year 6 welcomed Mrs Catherine Waights from Charles Sturt University, who was doing some practical observation and teaching alongside Mrs Toole.

We then acknowledged and recognised National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week for our Indigenous people. Aunty Miranda, our new Aboriginal Education Worker, led a beautiful form of spiritual Indigenous Yoga, Wayapa, for all students during a special assembly, and we also had a prayer focus on this during the week. Today we also welcomed Ms Tracey, our second Aboriginal Education Worker, who will be with us each Friday. 

On Thursday, Dean, Max, and Gideon proudly compete at the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival in Woolgoolga. We were so glad this event could proceed with all the sporting cancellations we have had due to weather this term.

Today we welcomed members of the Camden Haven Surf Life Saving Club to talk to students about Beach Safety. The volunteers of the Camden Haven SLSC do an amazing job in our community, and we thank them for giving up their time to continue this good work in our school.

Sacrament Reflection Night 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Sacrament Reflection Night was postponed this week. It will now be held in the school hall on Wednesday, 4th June from 5-6 pm.

Family Mass

Many of our parents have taken up the Parent Assembly opportunity in Coffs Harbour on Saturday, 14th June, so we have decided to postpone our Family Mass to Saturday, 2nd August. A compass event will come home next week. At this Mass, the choir will sing and students will serve in other ways. After Mass, we will gather in the Parish Hall for children’s faith activities and a shared meal.

The Number Fluency Program 

The Number Fluency Program is a structured, research-based program by Dr Ange Rogers from the Australian Numeracy Teachers Academy. It is designed to boost students' number confidence and mathematical fluency. Tailored for all levels from Kindergarten to Year 6, the program focuses on 20 critical number skills per year level, emphasising areas such as subitising, part-part-whole relationships, additive thinking, place value, and multiplicative thinking.

This program is implemented as a brief 10–15 minute daily session, offering a systematic approach to assess and practice these essential skills. It is designed to be flexible, allowing for multiple levels for each individual student within the class. By incorporating these daily sessions, students can develop greater confidence and proficiency in mathematics, setting a solid foundation for future learning.

For Action

Tell Them From Me Parent Survey

Our Parent Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Survey is open for your feedback. We aim to have at least 60 families complete the survey. If we reach that target, we will have a reward for all the students. So far, we have 51 responses.

Bracelet Buddies

Year 5 students Chloe, Violet, and Airlie have started a new club that they would love for any students to enjoy. If your child would like to start and is unsure about who these students are, please inform your child's class teacher so we can direct them to the correct people.

Kindergarten Science 

This week, we explored using different materials to build a house for Phoebe, a cousin of the Three Little Pigs! The children worked hard to test out their designs, and we were lucky to have some fantastic helpers from Year 5 join us. Their teamwork and creativity made it a fun and successful building session!

Stage 2 Science Experiment

This week, Stage 2 students explored soil composition in a hands-on science activity. They added water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid to jars filled with soil, then gave them a good shake! Over the coming days, the students will watch closely as the soil settles into distinct layers. Next week, we’ll come together to observe the results and discuss what the different layers tell us about the soil. Stay tuned for their exciting discoveries!

Infants Sport 

Wet weather and damp playgrounds will not stop us from having a lot of fun during sports. Nothing like a circuit training to get the blood pumping, ask the kids at home to put you through their Thursday Funday workout at home :)
