Yungaburra Students shining at High School
Congratulations to Atherton State High School on your recent Presentation Evening.
Past Yungaburra Students from all year levels, were well represented on the night receiving various sporting, academic, merit and subject prize
awards.
At the beginning of 2018, 16 students from Yungaburra State School transitioned to ASHS as Year 7 students.
Of these 16 students:
5 received an Academic Excellence Prize (25% of the total prizes given). Given that Yungaburra Students represent only 10% of total
Year 7 student cohort, this is an incredible result!
11 of the 16 past Yungaburra students received a Merit Award.
Special mention to the following past and present Yungaburra Students:
Our current Year 6 students, Sam Gould and Ben Howard – 2019 Year 7 ASHS Bursary Award Winners
Riley Vallance (YSS - Year 7 Student, 2014) – ASHS School Captain for 2019
Callum Irvine (YSS – Year 7 Student, 2013) – Outstanding School Based Apprentice Award
Winner
Eliza Tolley (YSS – Year 6 Student 2014) – ADFA Long Tan Leadership Award Winner
2018 Leaders – TEEC

other.

Inclusive Education Update
Greetings parents and guardians for this mid-term update. Students have settled back into classes and are into
their weekly routines again while we head rapidly towards the end of the year. Support plan meetings will also
be happening in the next few weeks so transition goals can be discussed for next year. This term there has been
a new ‘Kit-Kat Club’ in my room in the library every Friday first lunch. This is where any students can ‘have a
break’ and construct model kits away from the noisy playground in a small group setting. I demonstrate and
supervise the building of plastic model kits which develops student’s skills at reading and following instructions,
helps their fine motor skills and also makes them build up their patience levels while having fun with this niche
hobby. They are finding building model kits a bit more challenging than the much easier and popular Lego kits!
Have a good weekend!
