Swimming Carnival<br />
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE<br />
Great minds discuss ideas.<br />
Average minds discuss.<br />
Small minds discuss people.<br />
E. Roosevelt<br />
Congratulations to all our swimmers for showing sportsmanship and enthusiasm at the swimming<br />
carnival. Well done to the teams who cheered them on and thank you to Juliet Spence and Nancy<br />
Lindley (team leaders) and all our staff and parents/carers who helped out in many and varied<br />
ways – great job everyone. See later in the <strong>Newsletter</strong> for results.<br />
Welcome Morning Tea<br />
It was terrific that so many parents and carers came to the welcome morning tea last Friday. I<br />
hope you got to know some new people and you learnt some more about the school from our Year<br />
1 parents/carers. Thank you for all the very positive comments about our fabulous staff and<br />
school. Thank you to our wonderful P&C President Penny Hackett and Vice President Vicki<br />
Thirwell and all our hard working Year 1 parents and carers for providing the delicious morning<br />
tea.<br />
New Sports Uniform<br />
We have had a delivery of the new red and yellow sport shirts and shorts. They look terrific and<br />
will be available for sale from tomorrow Friday 1 March. A stall will be set up near the uniform<br />
shop. Shorts will be $20, shirts $27—cash preferred. Orders can be placed for the blue and<br />
green sports shirts. We will let everyone know as soon as they arrive.<br />
Staff Development Days<br />
The staff will be making changes to their staff development days at the end of the year. The last<br />
two days for staff are 19 and 20 December – both these days are staff development days – no<br />
students at school. Instead of working the above two days staff will be working on Saturday 1 June<br />
and another Saturday 1 November 2013.<br />
Interrelate<br />
Year 6 students have commenced their Interrelate program. Students will be attending four<br />
sessions of this program which is designed to help enhance self-esteem, consolidate previous<br />
sexuality education and help develop communication and decision making skills. It explores a<br />
range of issues in greater depth, offering a comprehensive sexuality program designed specifically<br />
for this important time in senior primary school student’s lives.<br />
A wide variety of creative activities and teaching methods are used during this program. These<br />
include – discussions, student’s questions – written and oral, role plays, games and other<br />
activities. Feedback from the program implementation has been very positive.<br />
HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE SCHOOLKIDS BONUS?<br />
Do you know about the <strong>School</strong>kids Bonus? It is a new cash payment to help eligible families and<br />
students with the costs of primary and secondary school studies. Around 1.2 million families have<br />
already benefitted from the first wave of payments in January 2013 – have you?<br />
If you receive a family or income support payment, including Family Tax Benefit Part A, you could<br />
be eligible to receive $410 a year for each primary student and $820 a year for each secondary
student, with half paid in January and half paid in July.<br />
The <strong>School</strong>kids Bonus replaces the Education Tax Refund (ETR) and is a much simpler system.<br />
You no longer need to collect receipts and payments are made automatically so you don’t have to<br />
wait months to make a claim via your tax return. Unlike the ETR you can choose how you use the<br />
payment to best support your children’s education – whether it be school books, stationery,<br />
uniforms, school fees, or excursions.<br />
Check your eligibility by visiting australia.gov.au/schoolkidsbonus and if you think you might have<br />
missed out on the January payment, contact Centrelink – either in person at a Centrelink-Medicare<br />
Office or by calling 132 468.<br />
Movies and books<br />
Is your child a reluctant reader? Why not try helping them find the book that goes with a movie or<br />
DVD they’ve enjoyed, or are about to see. Encouraging your child to read can help them to build<br />
their imagination. For tips and ideas: http://www.schoolatoz.nsw.edu.au/homework-and-study/<br />

Rainforest creatures<br />
Experience Taronga Zoo's stunning Wild Asia rainforest trail guided by volunteer researcher Heidi<br />
Greentree. Rainforest Heroes is a new, free iPad app that lets students capture their discoveries,<br />
on location at the zoo or from home, and then make a field report. Find out more about the app:<br />

Fitter, healthier, happier<br />
Go4Fun is a free lifestyle program being run across NSW towns. For 7-13 year-old children who<br />
are above a healthy weight, activities aim for a long-lasting and healthy approach to living and are<br />
suitable for both kids and their families. To make an enquiry: http://healthykids.nsw.gov.au/<br />

Coles Sports in <strong>School</strong>s’ 2012 Vouchers<br />
Thirteen boxes of sports equipment arrived at WPS last week thanks to the ‘Coles<br />
Sports in <strong>School</strong>s’ vouchers from 2012. We received a variety of equipment<br />
including tennis balls, soccer balls, basketballs, cricket bats, cricket stumps, AFL<br />
goal posts, ball launchers, high bouncy balls, joey (K-2) cricket sets and pink soft<br />
balls… just to name some of it.<br />
A huge thank you to all the families who collected and handed in vouchers last<br />
year and the parent volunteers (the fabulous Shirley and Melissa) who helped<br />
coordinate the collection of vouchers. It really makes a big difference to our sports<br />
equipment and sport programs.
K- 6 Dismissal / Traffic Issues<br />
DEPUTY’S MESSAGE<br />
From Monday 4 March, Kindergarten students will be finishing at 3pm with the rest of the school.<br />
This will have an impact on traffic and safety leaving our school at dismissal time. Thank you to all<br />
the parents/carers who are taking extra time to park safely and are collecting their children with<br />
safety in mind.<br />

UNSW / ICAS Testing<br />

gain a measure of their own achievement in an external assessment situation. Each student will<br />
receive a certificate and a detailed results letter indicating overall performance compared with other<br />
students in the state.<br />

LIBRARY & INFORMATION CENTRE NEWS<br />
Premier’s Reading Challenge<br />
All students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will be automatically included as the teachers and teacher<br />
librarians share read the 30 books needed to receive the Premier’s Certificate at the end of the<br />
year.<br />
Years 2 – 6 will be completing the PRC individually and we encourage them to participate. All<br />
students’ names are registered so it is just a matter of “Googling” NSW PRC and following the<br />
instructions below. Those who participate for four years receive a gold certificate.<br />
Primary school students are asked to read 20 books over the year (these may be picture books) so<br />
the process is quite easy. To help with selection, there are lists of books written for their year level<br />
on the website. <strong>Willoughby</strong> school has excellent literacy results and we believe that the Reading<br />
Challenge is contributing to this success.<br />
Registering for the Premier’s Reading Challenge<br />
● Registration opens of March 1 via the PRC website<br />
www.schools.nsw.edu.au/premiersreadingchallenge<br />
● <strong>School</strong>s are automatically registered when a student starts an online reading record<br />
● Students use their DET username and password. On their first logon for 2013, students<br />
record their previous school, if applicable.<br />
● Student’s details (name and grade) on the PRC website come from the schools’ records<br />
● Students are encouraged to complete their own online records at school, at home and at the<br />
local library. Parents can assist students to enter books read.<br />
● The easiest most reliable way to enter books is by their ID number.<br />
● Check the website homepage regularly for important messages and updates<br />
● The challenge closes on 1 September. Students will need to have their records completed by<br />
23 August 2013.<br />
● We will validate all completed entries and the Certificate will be given out in the last weeks of<br />
2013.<br />

<strong>Willoughby</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> Annual Swimming Carnival 2013<br />
Welcome back everyone for another fantastic sports filled year at <strong>Willoughby</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Last year our<br />
fantastic students and parents demonstrated their dedication and enthusiasm for sport at all levels and<br />
this year has started off in a similar manner.<br />
Firstly, I would like to thank all the parents/carers for their help on the day. Your assistance is always<br />
greatly appreciated by both teachers and students.<br />
Next, special congratulations to our House Leaders who, in their first leadership duties, demonstrated<br />
both excellent sportsmanship and organisational skills. It was pleasing to see all the house areas neat<br />
and tidy before the end of the carnival, with very little lost property to account for!<br />
Finally to all the wonderful <strong>Willoughby</strong> staff who worked tirelessly on the day. Your efforts are always<br />
welcomed and greatly appreciated.<br />
Included in this newsletter are the final results for the carnival. Congratulations to all the winners for<br />
achieving such fine results. All the ribbons associated with this year’s carnival will be handed out at Friday<br />
Lines in <strong>Week</strong> 7 (15 March) while the age champion trophies will be handed out at our <strong>Week</strong> 3-6<br />
Assembly on Thursday March 21.<br />
Once details of qualifying times are finalized the Zone Swimming Team will be announced. The Zone<br />
Swimming Carnival is on March 5 at Lane Cove Pool. Our next major school carnival will be the Cross<br />
Country Carnival on Friday 5 April. Regards<br />
Juliet Spence, Carnival Coordinator<br />
