Recommendations for the future included:
• Complete the current review of the school purpose
and vision, with input from all stakeholder groups and
publish and communicate the revised documents to
the wider school community
• Refine the current organisational chart and line
management processes to reflect recent leadership
changes and to align with the revised school purpose
and vision.
• Implement the school pedagogical framework to
ensure high quality teaching and learning is
embedded across the school.
I look forward to working with the staff, students and parent
community to establish the future direction for Ascot State
School. As we are in the final year of implementing the actions
and strategies from the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan, this year
will be an important step in developing/mapping the preferred
future for Ascot State School. It will be important to maintain

Association, we suggest becoming a P&C member. It is a
wonderful way to show your child that you value their
education.
To ensure the continuity of our services to the school, it is
imperative that these roles be filled. And if you would like a
say on how money raised is spent, you will need to become a
P&C member to ensure your voting rights. So please print out
the nomination form, sign it and bring it along to the meeting

Free Dress – Orange Day
National Day of Action Against
Bullying and Violence
2
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
FRIDAY 3/4/15-SUNDAY 19/4/15 INCLUSIVE
This Friday, 20 March, is National Day
against Bullying and Violence.
One of our parents, Kelly Millar, was on the
original team who devised and actioned this
day which, as we know, is now a national campaign. This
included choosing the colour orange as the symbol for this vital
initiative. Kelly will join us at the Senior Assembly next Monday
to share her experiences.
Children are asked to dress in something orange on Friday and
to donate a gold coin to support Kid’s Helpline. They will receive
a special Bullying No Way wristband for their donation. These
wristbands were purchased with some of the proceeds from
last year’s “Ascot’s Got Talent”.
Children at Ascot will complete an orange activity in their class.
The winning entry from each class will receive a certificate at
assembly.
Here is the website which has some excellent information and
resources for both home and school:
http://bullyingnoway.gov.au/national-day/for-schools/
resources.html
I would encourage you to share the information with your child
as we can never have too much information around this
important topic.
Well done to the children of 3C who shared some of their ideas
on appropriate behaviour to recognise and prevent bullying.
The children cleverly presented, “My Kitchen Rules”, where
Manu made a guest appearance, with a fantastic French
accent!! Aren’t children the best mimics? It demonstrates how
much they observe through interactions and body language.
The award for observing our ICE strategy when dealing with
bullying behaviour was very timely. When we see the range
of learning opportunities children have in such a short time,
it’s no wonder they are getting weary as the school holidays
approach.
Student of the Week: Prep-Year 2
Next week’s student of the week award is for
“Using the Hi 5”.
Congratulations to:
Student of the Week: Years 3-7
Next week’s award is for Co-Operative
Behaviour and the children who have been
chosen to receive this award should feel very

FROM ANGELA DAWSON
Queensland Academies Partnership School
Ascot State School was delighted to become an accredited
Partnership School with the Queensland Academies in 2014.
Ascot State School is committed to working with the
Queensland Academies as a partner in order to provide
collaborative environments and networks for best practice in
teaching and learning for highly capable students.

Young Scholars Program
The Queensland Academies’ Young Scholars Program
provides highly capable school students in Years 5 to 9 with
challenging enrichment opportunities.
The rationale for this initiative is to develop the Queensland
Academies Young Scholars Program as a teaching and learning
strategy for gifted/highly capable Years 5-9 students within
mainstream schools. In doing so this will create a sustained
network to align with collaborative development and delivery
of an innovative and unique five year curriculum that responds
to the needs of Education Queensland’s provision for gifted
students.
component). This program is available to Years 5 and 6
students only. Teachers nominate students for the program.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Online
Modules or the Young Scholars Program, please contact me on
adaws11@eq.edu.au .
Have a great week.
Angela Dawson, DoL/Differentiation Teacher
The program is delivered at all three Academies in Brisbane and
the Gold Coast and includes participation by our programming
partners including the Queensland Writers Centre, the Gold
Coast City Gallery, the University of Queensland, the
Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University.
Students interested in joining the program can be nominated by
their teacher after meeting at least one of the following criteria:
• A 90th percentile on any individual or group IQ test
• A 90th percentile on a subscale (e.g. verbal
performance) of an individual IQ Test
• A High Distinction or Distinction in the Australian
Schools Science, English or Mathematics
Competitions
• A letter from their teacher confirming that the
student’s academic performance or potential in
Mathematics, Science or English is within the top 10
per cent of the student population.
Students enrolled in the Young Scholars Program have
opportunities to participate in the workshop program that offers
a range of transdisciplinary and challenging experiences. The
Young Scholars Program also affords parents opportunities to
attend lectures that will enable them to further support their
children’s goals and aspirations.
Online Modules
The Queensland Academies online program allows students to:
• engage in one, two or even a whole series of
interrelated courses that build in complexity over time
• work with a range of students from other partner
schools as well as opportunities to work with
Queensland Academies students
• prepare confidently for the challenges of senior
secondary schooling
• support expectations of success, deep enquiry,
authentic research and awareness of self as a global
citizen.
All students entering the program (regardless of year level)
undertake units that are influenced by the high expectations
and challenges associated with learning in the Queensland
Academies and the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Program. The program is accessed by students from home
after school hours. All units are of eight weeks duration (1 hour

SPEAKING MATHEMATICALLY
Dried beans, macaroni, pasta shells and smarties – for
mathematics?
Yes, these items are very useful to use at home to help the early
years child in mathematics. Here are a few ways they can be
utilised:
• Subitising – to subitise is to ‘know’ how much is in a
collection without actually counting it. Usually children
can subitise up to about 6 items in a collection. When
children are subitising above 2 or 3 ask them how
they knew how many. Demonstrate that subitising 5
can be done by “mentally” partitioning (breaking up)
the 5 into a group of 3 and a group of 2
• Part-part-whole understanding – depending on the
age of your child select an amount for your collection
- for example 10. Place 4 on the table and “hide” the
rest under an object (cup/bowl). Ask for the child to
say how many must be under the object. In other
words, “the whole amount is 10, I have 4 in my hand,
what must the other part be under the bow?” Whole
= 10; part is 4; part is 6. From this number sentences
of addition and the inverse subtraction can be
generated and tested.
• Multiplication understanding - put collections into
equal groups. Two equal groups of 3 = 6. From this
work number sentences in multiplication can be
generated, as can the inverse division.
• An interesting way to use smarties is in data analysis
and statistics. A group of smarties can be “graphed”
by colour. Fractional understanding can be aided
with an open-ended question such as, “I grabbed a
handful of smarties, if 1/3 of them were red, draw
what the smarties could look like”. The key here is
the word, ‘could’. This helps children understand that
mathematics is also about hypothesising
relationships and not always right and wrong
answers.
Did you know?
There is magic in the number nine (9)? Multiply any number with
nine (9) and then sum all individual digits of the result (product)
to make it single digit, the sum of all these individual digits
would always be nine (9).

School Aquathon
Apologies and congratulations to Emma S who came equal
third in the Aquathon. Well done Emma and sorry for your
omission from the results table last week.
City District Trials
It was a very successful day last Friday for our students who
trialled for Touch and Soccer. Well done to all the students
who trialled and congratulations to the following students who
have been selected in the City District Touch teams: Elizabeth
E, Lucy H, Robert E, Jack M, Moni S and Kioa P. Also
congratulations to Marcus D and Elizabeth E who were selected
for Soccer (a busy and very successful day for Elizabeth). That
makes 22 students in all who have been selected in City District
teams this term, with quite a few who have been selected
multiple times.
Cross Country Training/Distances
to come and cheer the children along. We need parent help
putting up House tents on the oval from 7.30am if you are
available.
Senior Cross Country (Years 3-6) – If you would be available
on Tuesday 31 March for a job at the Cross Country please
email Alayne Graham (address below). We would like some
help putting up House tents at Brothers from 7:30am if you
are available. If there is a doctor amongst the parent body who
would be prepared to act as First Aid Officer at the event,
please contact Alayne Graham. It would be very much
appreciated and you will get a first class viewing seat under the
announcers’ tent near the finishing line!
Year 4 Students
In field lessons we are working on developing throwing and
catching skills with tennis balls. If children can practise this skill
outside their 30 minute lesson, the improvement that can be
made will be well worth the effort. I look forward to hearing
about their efforts and seeing the improvement in their skill level.
In swimming lessons (Weeks 8/9) students need to bring
clothes (shorts/tee shirt) to wear over their togs and sun-shirt as
part of their water survival training.

BULLYING NO WAY & RACISM NO WAY
DAY
Training sessions will continue until the end of Week 9 to help
students prepare for the Cross Country. Training sessions are
as follows:
Mondays/Tuesdays - morning tea (11:00–11:20) with Mr.
Harris
Wednesday/Thursday mornings (8:10–8:30) with Mrs.
Graham.
Class teachers will also endeavour to do some training with
their classes but it would also be a good idea for students do
some of their own training to help them prepare. Maybe it could
be an activity that families enjoy together. Distances children will
jog/run/walk are:
Prep/Year 1 – 500m (2 laps of the oval)
Year 2 – 750m (3 laps of the oval)
Years 3–6 students
Children born 2006/2007 – 1km
Children born 2005 – 2km
Children born 2003/2004 – 3km for those who want to
be selected for the District trial
- 2km for those who are not trialling.
Junior Cross Country (Prep-Year 2) – Students will move to
the oval next Thursday 26 March at 9.00am and assemble in
House groups. We will begin with Year 2 students, followed by
the Year 1 and last, but not least, our Prep students. Children
should wear House colour shirts, hats and sunscreen and bring
a named water bottle with them. Parents are most welcome
The Student Council is proud to be promoting Friday’s National
Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence. Friday is an
opportunity for the whole Ascot school community to “take
a stand together” against bullying. Everyone will have the
opportunity to complete activities this week within your
classroom to show your support.
On Friday, we are encouraging everyone to wear something
orange to school to show your support. EarlyAct will be
collecting a gold coin donation which will go to Kid’s Helpline,
an important organisation for children who are suffering the
effects of bullying.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Student Council will be
selling orange, “Bullying No Way” wristbands. The money
raised from these will also go to Kid’s Helpline.
Orange is also is the nationally recognised colour for Harmony
Day. Harmony Day is held on 21 March each year, the day
after Say No to Bullying Day. It is a day of cultural respect for
everyone who calls Australia home – from traditional owners to
those who have come from countries around the world.
The two days share a very important connection. Our school
rules, Be Responsible, Be Respectful and Be Safe, reinforce
how we should behave at school and in the community.

SWIM CLUB
Dear Swim Club Family,
The end of Swim Club is upon us.
We had our Club Championships on Sunday and what a great
afternoon we had. All of our swimmers had a great time and
we would also like to say a great big thank you to all of our
wonderful families for all the help in making the day such a
success.
We are in the process now of choosing all of our awards that
will be given out on Friday night which will be the last Swim Club
night for this season.
With the upcoming Cross Country we are naturally looking for
volunteers to assist with various duties including set up, help
with tents and marshalling. Our PE staff, Alayne Graham and
Paul Harris, would love to see plenty of helpers for this event
and your children would love to see you there as well.
For our Presentation Night we will be having a FREE SWIM for
our swimmers and also a free BBQ sausage sizzle. All parents
will be responsible for your own children whilst they are in the
pool.
Holidays
We will kick off at 5.15pm with the free swim and
commence presentations at 6.00pm.
One fun outing that was omitted for the upcoming holidays is
the Dinosaur Discovery: Lost Creatures of the Cretaceous. This
life like exhibit is being held at the Queensland Museum daily
from 27 March and is sure to be a holiday must. There are
plenty of animated models, including a T-Rex.
Committee members
It would be great at the P&C AGM to see more parents put their
hands up to volunteer support for the various P&C committees.
Please make some time free to attend this evening’s AGM.
Teaching children money matters
For those who missed the article in Monday’s Australian
newspaper, it covered some practical aspects about teaching
our children about money and finance. A major take home point
is the need to focus more on basic mathematics rather than
the concepts of finance which is obvious alien to them at a
young age. Another great reason why the school has employed
a Master Mathematics Teacher.
Pat Gerry. Co-Ordinator, pandc@ascotss.eq.edu.au
We are looking for some volunteers: we need 2 x BBQ and
2 x Canteen. If you can help us out please contact Rose M
on rose.04@me.com or phone 0417 707 995.
Cameron and I would like to say to all of our Swim Club
members for this season a great big thank you for all the help
you have all given us. It has been such a pleasure to work with
all of our Committee members. You have all worked so hard
and you all need to be congratulated.
It is now time for Cameron and I and all of the Committee to
step down.
