PRINCIPAL
T
he bushfires in NSW are a timely reminder regarding the
environment and the dangers associated in which we live.
Contained within this newsletter is a copy of our school’s
bushfire information. Please don’t hesitate to contact the school
if you have any questions relating to how the policy works or
how it would impact on your family.
Student Free Day
A reminder that Monday the 18th of
November is a Student Free Day. On this day
members of the SRC, Governing Council,
Parents & Friends and staff will be reviewing
our Site Improvement Plan and analysing
the student, parent and staff opinion surveys
to assist with planning for our future. Parent
Opinion Surveys are currently in the process of
being sent home to every family.
House Teams for 2014
Thank you to the large number of families,
students and staff who have responded to our
survey regarding our two, new house teams for
2014. A reminder that all entries are required
to be returned by Friday the 8th of November
and that late entries will not be accepted.
Please contact the school if you have misplaced
your entry form.
of primary students also participating through
the 5/6 band and the different choirs. The
other component of our Concert Band that
I had not realised was the fact that we have
a number of students who participate from
neighbouring Area Schools. This participation
takes real commitment as these students (and
their families!) to travel every week to join
our band. Sometimes I think we forget how
amazing some of the opportunities we provide
students are within our community. It was
really nice to receive an email from a couple
who are travelling and decided after seeing
advertising in the town to attend the concert
congratulating the school on the event.

our annual Music Concert. I was really

hat a delight the Music Concert was, and what a
showcase of our talented students. Our Junior Choir
was light on numbers but big on sound, our 5/6 Band
demonstrated a trove of future talent, our festival Choir wowed
us with beautiful harmonies and soaring melodies and the
Concert Band students (including some who only started this
year) raised the rafters with their playing.
Conmgratulations to all the students and a big
thank you to our supportive parents who filled
the PAC and to all the teachers who helped the
Music Staff on this special night.

Kindy News
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to Kindy, this term is going to
be full of new and different events. We will be
going on our Adelaide excursion, Gymjams and
having our Obstaclathon. Transition visits will be
starting in week 6 (notes will come from schools
soon) and Pre entry visits will start in week 6.If
any of your contact details have changed please
let us know. Thanks.
Bushfire Preparedness
As we approach the bushfire season please take
note of our arrangements. We rated level 3 which
is not an extreme risk of bushfire, This means
that on Catastrophic days we will still be open as
normal. It is your choice to send your children
on not depending on your home bushfire plan.
NO BUSES will be operating on Catastrophic
days. If your child will not be attending in these
conditions please let Louise know so we can
account for children. Extra information is in the
handout with the newsletter.
Adelaide Excursion - SA
Museum
On Thursday 31st October we will be travelling
by bus to Adelaide to visit the SA Museum. We
are booked into a session about Earth, Water, Fire
with a facilitator who will engage our curiosity
through play based experiences. We will also be
looking at the other displays at the Museum. The
bus will leave at 8:30am sharp so children will
need to be at Kindy between 8:00am - 8:15am.
We will leave Adelaide at 1:30pm to arrive back
at approx. 3:30pm. We would love to have some
parent helpers come along on this excursion. This
is a Kindy only excursion so we are unable to
have siblings along.

6/7 Illawonga Camp
Day 1: Monday
Week 1, Monday 14th to Wednesday
16th, the year 6/7s were at Illawonga
camp. Once we were all on the bus we
had a head count. Everybody was there
except one person. When they finally
arrived we set off. That made us a bit
late.
The bus ride was one of the longest bus
trips I’ve ever been on. We stopped at
Freeling Park for recess. Everyone was
really excited. When we finally reached
the camp we had tacos for lunch. After
we had unpacked and made up our
beds we had an hour to ourselves to
explore they camp. It was very exciting
for the year 6’s because they hadn’t been
there before.

There are two dogs there, Misty and
Buddy. Buddy is trained now and
wasn’t last year in 2012. They have
equipment for us to use there. And
they have a recreation room. It contains
two table tennis tables and pool table
with chairs as well. We had to get
our bathers on and old shoes. After
we walked to the boat then rode to a
reserved area, we went tubing and knee
boarding. We had fruit and water for
a snack. We had two turns at tubing
and knee boarding. Some of us went
swimming.
When we arrived back it was showers
and tea. We had sausages and chicken
patties. Quickly we were heading for
the gym and in the foam pit. There
was a trampoline going into the pit.
Uneven bars that you swung onto spun
yourself around and flung into the
foam. There was a bar that you spun
around on and fell in. There was also
a mini trampoline that you jumped
then flipped if you wanted or just jump
and land. After that you had to make
your way across two bars. We rotated
groups on all these activities. Next we
got warmer clothes on and went to the
camp fire. We roasted marsh-mellows.
It was fun. Soon we went to bed.It was
a very long night.
he and an animal rescue team saved
a kangaroo from along the river, the
kangaroo was living along the riverside.
We stopped at a historical midden site
that an Aboriginal tribe once lived at.
There was a tree which had had a canoe
cut out of it. Mike said that it would’ve
taken months to make because the
Aboriginal tribe that made it didn’t kill
the tree, it is still growing today. We
had biscuits for a snack and were on
our way to rowing.
Day 2: Tuesday
The other team had just finished
rowing and were going to their boat
tour. When we were rowing Mike said
we were pretty good since our school
doesn’t teach water sports. We soon had
a rhythm going and were on our way
The next day was great. We woke up
and had a nice breakfast which was
optional, cereal or toast. There were
lots of options of what to have. We
went on a boat tour the next day. Mike
drove us. He told about the time when

for lunch and then set off to go caving
and then kayaking.
boys 6 had and the dog, buddy. But the
girls had 7 on. We decided it was time
to head back.
Caving was fun. On some of the parts
of the cave we had to crawl, some we
had to bend our backs. Most of us hit
our hard hats on the roof of the cave.
We found fossils. I found two, one
heart shaped fossil with a part of a shell
attached and one without. I kept the
one with the shell attached and gave the
other to someone who didn’t find one.
On the way back Misty pointed the
way. It was very interesting how good
she was tamed.
We got changed and had tea. We had
Pizza. After tea we went to a Yabby
Farm. It was fun. My group; Hayley,
Maddie, Olivia and Tiana, we caught
41 yabbies alone. We had the most.
Last year we probably caught 1. And
probably 6 altogether with all the teams
counted.
We swapped and my team was
kayaking. It was fun. We practised
not actually in the water, after we
practiced in a small bit of the Murray.
Soon we were ready. It was a very good
experience for the year 6’s. We had
to battle the wind. It was harder for
people who didn’t do it last year. We
swam in the river; we also tried to get
the most people on one kayak. The

We drove back and went to Big Ben
by Night Shearing. He sheared a sheep
but made it look like a poodle, this was
a shoodle. We had to choose a sheep
for your team. Those sheep went into
a race. Ours didn’t win. Since we were
running late next we went and saw
kangaroos and wombats. After Ben
got out a lamb and we had to try to
pass around a milk bottle with him
trying to drink some milk. It was very
good. After we drove back we had
supper, which were chocolate cake and
chocolate milk. Soon after that we went
back to bed.
Day 3: Wednesday
The last day was a rush; my group was
on dished so I had to wake up earlier
than the rest. I had to clean my part
of the dorm and put my stuff in the
recreation room. My team had to set
up breakfast. After breakfast my team
had archery first. I was really bad until
I managed to get the hang of it. I was
the second group. We had rotations
and after a few practise rounds we had a
competition. It was really good.
After in the foam pit when our teams
rotated, we started off in teams rotating
through the stations. Once we were
finish we did this thing called the leap
of faith. You had to stand on this high
ledge and fall backwards with out
moving, it felt like I was falling off a
building. Then you had to do it face
first and that was even worse. Then we
held a few rounds of hide-and-seek.
There were groups that seeked and the
rest hid.
It was a really good experience. Once
the bus arrived it was finally time to
departure. It was a really long drive to
the point were we had a packed lunch.
There were sandwiches and fruit bars
and fruit boxes. Once we were back on
the bus it was a long, long drive. It took
forever, but we were finally on our way
back to school. It was a great experience
even for us who went last year.

MAS Music Concert 2013
We held our annual Music
Concert in the performing Arts
Centre on Thursday, October 24
with a wonderful crowd and a
full programme.
The evening slipped quickly
by, with items from the
school Concert Band (inc. Les
Miserables, Wicked, Skyfall),
the Festival Choir (inc. Stand
Together, Take a Bow), the
Junior Choir (inc. Old Time
Rock 'n' Roll), the 5/6 Band
(Bunyip Blues) and items from
small ensembles and soloists.
We paid tribute to our three Year
12 students (Maddie Briggs,
Amy Nankivell and Anneliese
Moloney) and our retiring
Festival Choir accompanist,
Diane Wheare.
The evening was warmly
received and truly showcased
our talented students conductor
Debbie Schwartz and the whole
of the music staff.
Thank You letter
On Tuesday this week we made an unplanned stop
in Maitland to shelter from the wild windy weather.
Yesterday afternoon we were enjoying a walk around
the town & noticed a sign at your school advertising
the 2013 Music Concert. We decided it might be
nice to attend , which we subsequently did.
We want you to know that last night's performance
has been one of the highlights of our holiday - we
thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful to see the
young people displaying their musical talents, no
doubt largely due to the encouragement, training
and leadership given them by yourself and the
other school staff and helpers involved in the school's
musical program. We were impressed with the way
the evening program was so well organised and
conducted - despite the minor inevitable "hiccups"
which may have occurred. It was great to see such a
variety of talent on display, including that of some
quite young children .
The printed program (handout) was very impressive
- we have never before seen a similar document of
such a high standard .
Debbie , we would like to especially commend you
on your involvement with last night's programme,
and for the wonderful work you are obviously doing
within the school's music program. Keep up the good
work . Thanks again to you, your colleagues and the
students for a wonderful evening.
Regards, Len & Sue Fittell

Week 2: Year 7 McLean
Mr Tuck started the term's assemblies
rolling with a Japanese theme. He showed a
compilation of photographs and video from
the recent Japan exchange trip, with different
sections on food, transport, education,
clothing and technology.
The Year 7s had lots to share and started
with two 'Silent Movies' they made. Mrs
McLean had shown them examples of olden
days movies, and the students responded
with humorous stories of thieves, chases and
confusion.
Students were reminded about wearing their
hats during playtime for Term 4 (no hat, no
play!) then birthday cards and merit cards were
awarded.
The Year 6-7s were at Illawonga in Week 1,
and the 7s put together a video of their camp
highlights, including caving, archery, fishing,
boating and sheep shearing.

The 2 Minute Number Challenge
I want to begin this article by thanking
everyone for supporting your child
with the 2 minute challenge . From
your comments it is clear that you
have grasped this opportunity to
have a direct impact on your child`s
numeracy development. Each teacher
values this type of partnership and
with this week`s challenge you should
see how teachers have responded to
your comments.
Review of Mathletics
I would hope that by now you have
realised that you child has been using
the digital Maths program called
Mathletics which we have incorporated
into our teaching programs. Part of
the nature of this program has been
the capacity for your child to use
access this at home (providing you
have internet access).
As part of a general review of the
success or otherwise of this program I
will be speaking to classes to determine
how many students have used or are
using the program. If you have not
I encourage you to keep those
comments coming! As part of our
request for your email addresses we
are also compiling email lists that
give teachers and administrators the
potential to inform you of examples of
positive work the students are doing.
If you still wish to provide your email
address to me please do so by emailing
to me at Steve.Heyess665@schools .sa.
edu.au.
seen your child using this at home
please ask them to demonstrate it
to you(they each have an individual
password).
As part of a possible expansion of the
program it is now possible for you to
download an app on either apple or
android tablets/pads. Students will still
need their passwords for access.

reasoning
Junior Primary Challenge
Provide your child with a sauce bottle and
place it on the table. Without them touching
the bottle have them make a few comments
about its shape, the shape of the nozzle, what
might happen if it fell, how we would know
how much liquid it might hold. Now let us
apply some reasoning …what if it was glass?
What if the nozzle was narrower? Why is it
important that it hold a specific amount of
liquid/ could it hold more liquid than it does?
Explain to them that when we purchase items
there is a reason why decisions have been
taken and that mathematical calculations have
been made !
Primary Challenge
Provide your child with a broom and have them
place the broom against a wall (head to the
floor) and on a solid surface (not carpet). Ask
them to place it in what they consider to be the
most stable position. Examine the shape that is
created between the broom and the wall. Have
them reposition the broom a number of times
so that eventually the broom slips from the
wall. Note the angle this occurred. Now explain
what the most stable shape is and why the
broom slips away. Try and have them explain
in what you would describe as having some
mathematical expression. (it does not have to be
too technical!)
Secondary Challenge
Inside your homes there are many features
where the size of objects eg doors ,windows
, ceilings are standardised.( Eg a standard
door is 2040mm high and 820 mm. wide).
Discuss with them why this might be the case.
Measure one or two doors and see whether
or not they are not standard. Now begin
to reason through why your doors may be
bigger or smaller than the standard. In our
area particularly around Moonta and Kadina
many cottages had doors and windows which
are much smaller …..try and give some
understanding for why this is the case.
Shopping Maths Challenge winners!
Again it has been pleasing to see you supporting your child
through the challenges placed in the newsletter. Many students
have expressed to me how they have begun to do the challenge.
I am hoping with your support many more can complete them.
The winners for this week are Barnaby Wheare, Aidon Shipp,
Morgan Shipp and Marley Holmes.
Congratulations to Aidan Shipp in Year 2 for his detailed
response.
