 PRINCIPALS’ REPORT

Welcome back to term 4! With the Bush Dance running next Tuesday we have some excited young people ready to show off all their dancing skills. We can’t wait to see you all on Tuesday evening at the Ivanhoe Town Centre as we celebrate our performing arts program in fine style. I will be looking into my costume over the weekend.

Transitioning to 2024

I cannot believe that it is already that time of year again. We are currently preparing for the organisation of grade placements for 2024. This is always a tricky process as multiple considerations must be made to ensure that all of our students are placed in an environment that will best support their learning needs. As such this does need to be a collaborative process where students, parents and staff combine their collective knowledge to ensure success.

The Process:

  •                   – Upon our return to school children will be asked by their teachers to nominate children they would like to be with in 2024. Conversations will be had regarding what makes a good learning friend and the students will be able to nominate those friends who support their learning and reduce distractions. During the process the teachers will ensure that every child is with at least one of these friends.
  •  
  •                   – Parent considerations are also collected and considered during this process. Often parents have specific insights into student need and this additional knowledge plays a significant part in how we structure our classes. These insights often include but are not limited to health, emotional or learning matters, peer or sibling relationships or changes in the home situation. Selecting a particular teacher does not fit within the realm of special circumstances. If parents want to provide extra personal information to be considered in the process please email the school office. Letters should be addressed to “The Principal” and reach the office no later than October 30th.
  •  
  •                   – Classroom teachers will predict where students would be best suited based on learning, behavioural and social needs and any relevant information they have gathered throughout the year. All of this information will    then be used to develop the 2024 classes with the use of Class Creator, a program that assists with the formulations of balanced grades.
  •  
  •                   – Specialists will check the lists for any anomalies and then the leadership team will confirm grade placements.
  •  
  •                   – Towards the end of term, children and their new teacher will have an opportunity to spend the whole day in    their 2024 classroom and step up into the next grade level. The children and new teacher will complete an activity during this day notifying parents of their new grade.

Moving in 2024

As we work through all our 2024 preparations, we are also looking to determine how many classes we will have in every area. At this time of the year, we traditionally ask families to let us know if they intend to move schools in 2024. Typically, it is at this time that people move suburbs, states and even countries. If you are in this boat, please give us a call or email to let us know of your plans.

Take care,

STUDENT OF TERM  – TERM 3

TEACHING & LEARNING

Hello again everyone! It is lovely to be back at RGLPS for what is always a busy Term 4. I am well rested and had a wonderful time visiting Iceland, Scotland and the Netherlands on my long service leave. I had amazing weather, visited some bucket list locations and enjoyed catching up with a close friend based in the UK. Below are a few photos of my trip.

Term 4 2023 Team Newsletters

It is my hope to release all team newsletters for Term 4 by the end of week 2 of term. These newsletters provide an overview of important dates, events and programs happening across the school. Please keep an eye on Compass for an alert as to when these become available.

 

2023 ICAS

2023 ICAS Certificates have started to arrive at the school. RGLPS students who achieved a higher placed certificate (High Distinction, Distinction, Credit or Merit) will be presented with their certificates at a school assembly. The first batch of certificates (ICAS Digitech and ICAS Science) will be presented at next Monday’s assembly @ 9am. Results will also be published in the school newsletter following each assembly. Students who are awarded participation certificates will be presented with these by their classroom teacher.

 

Certificates for the remaining ICAS assessments (English, Writing, Spelling Bee and Mathematics) will be presented at a future assembly once they arrive at the school.

 

2023 Premiers Reading Challenge

Congratulations to the 43 students from RGLPS who completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge in 2023. This year, these students read a combined 2256 books as part of the Challenge!

 

Students who successfully completed the 2023 Challenge will be presented with certificates recognising their achievement at a future assembly. The school is also waiting for these certificates to be delivered to the school.

 

Have a great week everyone!

MANGO DRIVE

If it feels early for mangoes, your feeling would be correct.

Due to past ordering issues and a very low expected yeild this year we need to send order forms out early.

Due to the limited supply, trays will be 4.5kg rather than the usual 7kg. 

We will be offering a 4.5kg tray for $25.

At this stage we are unable to give a firm delivery date, we can only tell you that it will be between 20th November and 15th December.
