From The Principals
Issue 7
26th May 2016
Dear Parents, Caregivers and Community Members,
It has been a difficult time for many of us here at
Endeavour Schools, with the recent passing of long
term Principal Mr Alan Hansen. On behalf of the staff we
would like to thank you, as community members for your
support and understanding as we deal individually with
the grief associated with losing a colleague.
We would also like to commend staff who have ensured
that the learning programs provided for students have
continued as planned with minimal disruption, giving
students the routine needed to assist them in dealing
with the news.
Community members wishing to pay their respects are welcome to attend Mr Hansen’s
funeral this coming Saturday (May 28) at Fremantle Cemetery at 10:00am.
The school will be holding an honouring ceremony to honour Mr Hansen’s contribution
to Endeavour Schools in his role as Principal since 2003. This honouring ceremony will
be held at 2:15pm on Friday, 3rd June for students in Years 3 to 6. If your child is in
Pre Primary to Year 2 and you wish for them to attend, please inform your child’s
classroom teacher.
Mr Hansen was a valuable and highly respected member of our team here at
Endeavour Schools and the effects of his loss are being felt already by those of us who
had the honour and pleasure of working with him. Mr Hansen was extremely proud of
Endeavour Schools’ students, staff and school community and always went out of his
way to promote our Schools within the wider community. We have many cherished
memories of Mr Hansen that will remain with us as time goes by, he would always go
to daily fitness each day and happily chat with students, staff and parents as they went
by, he had a real passion for maintaining and developing the school grounds and
gardens and we will continue to smile as we remember the way he never turned down
an invitation to attend any school events. Our thoughts are with Mr Hansen’s family at
this time.

This term our theme is Travelling Around the World. We have been reading the novel Flat Stanley and
have enjoyed sharing his travels and many adventures.
We have also been using our research skills to prepare a talk about a country of our choice. As you
can see from the photos; we loved getting messy, using scaled instruments to make salt dough and
creating an Egyptian cartouche.
Our buddy class this year is Room 4 and meeting with our buddies each fortnight is a highlight for us.
A new and important skill we are continuing to learn in Digital Technologies is coding.
These are some thoughts about our learning activities this term:
Liam - Working with our buddies is important because you meet more people and make new friends.
Osker - With our buddies we learn how to be FAFY.
Baya - Wherever there is trouble, Flat Stanley is willing to help.
Sean - Coding helps you with different subjects like Spelling, Reading and Math.
Taty - Coding is important because you can use it throughout the years.

Triple P Tips for Parents
Teach your child new skills by
first showing the skill yourself,
then giving your child
opportunities to learn the
new skill. For example, speak
politely to each other in the
home. Then, prompt your child to speak
politely (e.g., say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’), and
praise your child for their efforts.
Triple P hold Seminar Series and
Positive Parenting courses
throughout the year.
These courses provide valuable
parenting strategies for your child’s
development and behaviour.
All courses are advertised on the
Noticeboard outside the staffroom or

Community Notices
U
Endeavour Schools have EFTPOS facilities
available in the front office. This facility can
be used for payments over $5 such as
contributions, swimming lessons or
excursions. Smaller amounts must go
through the class money books.
Please check the noticeboard outside the staffroom regularly for
community events and sporting information received by the schools.
Notices in the Community Advertising section are inserted for your
information. The schools are not associated with any of these groups or
businesses.
Parents are encouraged to make payments in
advance for any future expenses such as
swimming lessons, incentivals and excursions.
These payments will be held as credit in your
child’s account and then allocated against
excursions as they occur.
Payment can be made by cash, EFTPOS or direct
deposit. Credit card payments can be made over
the phone as well as in the office.
A change to our payment plan policy will mean
that all incursions / excursions will need to be paid
IN FULL before the due date otherwise your child
may not be eligible to attend.
If you require any more information, please see
the front office.
With the onset of the colder weather,
already lots of students and parents are
coming into the front office looking for
lost jumpers. Please ensure that all
items of clothing, drink bottles and
lunch boxes are clearly labelled with
your child’s name so that we can return
them to students when they are found.
If your child happens to come home with an item which
does not belong to them, please have the courtesy to
return it to the school so we can return it to its rightful
owner. Thankyou.
Book Fair
Our Book Fair will be held in Week 8.
The Book Fair is a great place to find
exciting new books for you and your
child/children to enjoy.
Our Book Fair is a lively fun event that enables
children, parents and teachers to purchase
books at a reasonable price, while raising
funds for our school.
Come along and buy a great book!! Part
proceeds go towards the Library for more
exciting books!!
