Thought of the Week
"Don't ask if your dream is crazy, ask if it's crazy enough."                - Lena Waithe

Virtue of the Week
This week, we explore the virtue of kindness. Kindness is showing that you care and doing
some good to make life better for others. It is being thoughtful about people’s needs.
Kindness is showing love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs our help.
Kindness is treating ourself and others gently. Kindness is also caring about our Earth and
all living things. Please consider taking a few minutes this week to discuss being kind with
your child[ren].

Principal’s Message
Welcome to the last day of learning for Term One and the start of our Autumn Vacation.
This week has been a busy one, with the conclusion of our Face to Face Reporting with
parents and carers, the opening of our second pop up PAWS Shop, our annual Cross
Country and Fun Run on Wednesday, our Assembly of Excellence this morning and our
much anticipated Easter Hat Parade this afternoon. Each of these are great examples
of how we collaborate with others to achieve great outcomes for learners.
Last week, I had the opportunity to work in Emerald with the Central Queensland
Region’s Centre for Learning and Well Being (CLaW) and the Teacher Learning Centre
(TLC) to cofacilitate a professional learning program for the Region’s Lead Mentors, who
lead other mentors to develop the knowledge and skills of our beginning teachers from
all schools across our region. This work is crucial in ensuring every beginning teacher is
inducted and onboarded and have their individual learning needs met to ensure they
have a great start to beginning their teaching career.
On Monday, Staff met to review Term One and preview Term
Two. This process included a detailed analysis of the reading
data collected to ensure, as a school we have a detailed
understanding of where every learner is currently achieving
with their reading to determine the next steps for all classroom
reading programs to cater for the individual, group and whole
class needs of every learner. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all families for the work you do every night
to assist us in developing your child[ren]’s knowledge and skills
as readers. Thank you !
As the end of Term One comes to a close, it is an opportune time to refocus on our 2021
Theme of ‘What’s Your Impact?’. This simple statement ensures we are always focused
on making a difference every day for every day. Enjoy your upcoming Autumn
Vacation, stay safe, relax and rejuvinate for a busy Term Two of Learning.

Until next term,

Lyle Walker

Construction Update
This week, it was exciting to see the roof craned into
position on our new General Learning Area. Last
week, our fulltime Technical Officer, Mr Jeff Tan used
our school drone to capture some images of the
construction. With the images provided by the
Project Managers and Construction Team each
week, construction has been well documented.
Cross Country and Fun Run Highlights
Well done to the Staff who captured highlights from
our annual Cross Country and Fun Run.
Congratulations to everyone who participated,
including our Mums and Dads. All learners who
participated received a Certificate and small gifts
of appreciation, including sunglasses, sweatbands
or wristbands. Our 2021 Age Champions were all
recognised this morning for their great achievement.
Stay connected via our social media for more Cross
Country and Fun Run highlights, Assembly of
Excellence Awards and our Easter Hat Parade.
