REMINDER: Term 2 commences with a curriculum day.  Students do not return to school until Tuesday 12th April

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Dear Parents and Friends,
Wow - what a whirlwind term 1 has been!  We have done the work of 10 weeks in 8 and although it has been a short term I think we are all ready for the break.  
It has been a wonderful term for learning and setting up high expectations and learning protocols for the rest of the year.  We have introduced our "Growth Mindset" across the school and can already see the positive impact on some of our students.  
As a whole school we also looked this term at a Mentone Park Learner Profile which describes the qualities of a good learner.  Thank you to parents who came to the parent forums early in the term to give input into this.  I have attached a draft of the Profile here.  Feedback on this draft is welcomed - please email the school or drop by and see me if you have any comments.  We will finalise this early in the term so any comments please send through by 22nd April.
We are also excited this week at the news of another new baby in the MPPS family. Congratulations to Allison Shanahan and her husband James on the arrival of their beautiful baby girl Agatha Rose, born on 19th March 2016. As expected, they are both head over heels!

FAREWELL MR KICK

I know many of you remember fondly Mr Kick (Perry), Mentone Park beloved Assistant Principal for many years.  As you know, Perry has been on leave for the past year and a half pursuing a new career and a new challenge at QkR.  Sadly for our community, Perry has informed me that he will not be returning to MPPS - clearly working in a school doesn't have the lure of the travel and perks of corporate life!
On the flip side, however, we are very excited to officially welcome Mrs Lough (Alison) as our AP.  Alison has been acting in the role for the past year and a term and as of term 2, will become our permanent AP.  Congratulations Mrs Lough - we are very excited to have you on board!
Stay tuned for news of a farewell assembly for Mr Kick during term 2.

2016 School Council

My name is Fiona Longmuir and I am very pleased to be introducing myself to you as the new Mentone Park Primary School Council President. Our first meeting of the 2016 school council was held on Monday 21 March and I would like to congratulate the following elected office bearers:
  • Vice-President: Andrew Davis
  • Treasurer: Nicky Dance
  • Secretary: Alison Lough
We welcomed to School Council Lisa Grimsey (new parent member) and Mary Sampieri (new staff member). We also have Maria Fakitopoulos, Martin Walker and Peter Olechnowicz all as continuing members of the council. Kendra Parker as our school principal fills the role of Executive Officer. We are looking forward to a fantastic year for our school and will be working together, along with many of you, on making MPPS the best it can be for our kids. If you are ever interested in attending a School Council meeting please contact Kendra, Alison or myself to arrange it.
Our thanks go to Cameron Riley for his two years on school council. Also we would like to recognise and thank Andrew Davis for his service as School Council President for the past five years. Andrew has lead our council and school through some significant changes and improvements over this time and his commitment to our school is greatly appreciated. I am very pleased that Andrew will be in the position of Vice President and that he will continue to offer just as much to our school through leadership of the Buildings and Grounds sub-committee and commitment to fundraising efforts, as well as ‘holding my hand’ as the new School Council President!
Sub-committees and opportunities for involvement
Being involved in your children’s school is not only a great way to connect with your local community but there is also evidence that it has positive impacts on children’s attitudes to learning and success at school. We know that everyone leads busy lives but there are a great many ways to make a contribution to MPPS and the stronger and more involved our parent community, the better the school experience will be for all our kids. Most of the sub-committees of the School Council are open membership and there will be other opportunities for input or assistance throughout the year.
Please review the information below and if you are interested in joining one of these groups don’t hesitate to get in touch with myself, the convenor, Kendra or Alison.
Education: Convenor – Lisa Grimsey NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 26 April, 6pm
This committee has a very important role in reviewing and developing school policies. For example, we are currently working on a review of the Homework Policy and the Reporting to Parents Policy. As you can imagine the development of these policies has an impact on aspects of your child’s school experiences. Keep an eye out soon for an invitation to comment on the draft of the Homework policy. Throughout the year, the Education Committee may advise of other policies that are of interest to you and you are welcome to come along to that meeting or provide written comments or suggestions to be considered.
Buildings and Grounds: Convenor – Andrew Davis NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 26 April, 6pm
This committee overseas and achieves amazing things for our school through management of the school environment. Already this year the committee has run the very successful working bee to remove the old playground equipment from the junior playground and in doing so saved the school $5000 which can now be used towards the new edging seats or the landscapin Please consider being involved in working bees or other activities of this committee whenever possible as together we can make the school environment a more attractive, safer and more engaging place for our kids to be. If you have any specific skills that could help improve our buildings and grounds (eg. builder, painter, gardener etc) we would love to hear from you.
Parents and Friends/Fundraising: Presidents – Stacey Buchanan and Wendy Davis NEXT MEETING: Monday 18 April, 9am
Parents and Friends is a fun and effective way to connect with other parents and the school and to help out with activities and special events for the kids. The Parents and Friends run events such as the Easter raffle, Mother’s and Father’s Day Breakfasts and stalls, Footy Day and so on. The PFA also support fundraising activities and our school Fundraising Convenor is Wendy Davis. We would love to see you for a coffee at our next meeting but if you can’t make it please keep an eye out for information about how you can assist with upcoming events.
Finance: Convenor - Nicky Dance
This committee reviews and manages the school’s finances with the support of Anne Leggett the MPPS Business Manager.

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL'S REPORT  

Working Bee Thank You

Thank you to the families who attended the first working bee for the year last Saturday. As many of you will have noticed, we managed to remove all the old play equipment from the junior playground and prepare the area for installation of the new playground. This will be happening during Term 2. We also had some wonderful helpers that cleared drains of leaves, trimmed overgrown trees from paths and planted some new plants along the front of the school.

Thank you to all families and teachers who assisted on the day! We would like to acknowledge you at our first assembly back (Friday 15th April at 3:00pm) for term two if you are able to attend. We will have the working bee attendees prize draw at the assembly. 


NDBA

What a successful day we had last Friday with students participating in the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. Participating in this day helps to generate a widespread message that bullying and violence is never okay, in or outside the classroom.


Hopefully the children came home and had a chat with you about the important messages that came out of the activities and discussions they took part in on the day.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Dear Parents and Friends,
The end of the term is nearly on us, what a whirlwind it has been!  Students have worked hard to settle well into the school routine and quickly developed their excellent learning behaviours.  Our focus on High Expectations continued throughout the term, with an emphasis on developing our Growth Mindset.  I hope this has been evident in your children at home as well.

Staffing News

The exciting news of last week was the arrival of Pippa Rose Riley on Wednesday 9th March.  Congratulations to Mr Cameron Riley and his wife Bec, daughter Stella and son Will - we hope you are enjoying your beautiful new daughter and sister.
There will be a few staffing changes for term 2 in the school. Mrs Barratt will not be returning to her Year 3 class and instead we will welcome Miss Joanne Siriwardene, who comes to Mentone Park with glowing references and a strong interest in technology, as well as being a passionate and creative teacher.
In other news, we say bon voyage to Mrs Monica Smith for Term 2 as she heads overseas to see and support her daughter in Spain, along with some other exciting adventures I am sure.

School Council

School Council nominations closed last week and with the number of nominations equalling the number of vacancies, there was no need to conduct an election. Congratulations to the following members on their election or re-election, to School Council:
  • Fiona Longmuir (Parent Rep - re-elected)
  • Lisa Grimsey (Parent Rep - new member)
  • Mary Sampiere (Staff Rep - new member)
Our new Council will meet on Monday night at 7:00pm, following our sub-committee meetings at 6:00pm.  All members of the school community are able to be involved in the Education or Buildings and Grounds sub-committees.  If you are interested in either of these, please come along on Monday night at 6:00pm to see what it is all about.
Education Sub-committee: This committee has the important role of reviewing and drafting new policies which include curriculum and some school operations.  We would love some extra support with this aspect of the school, which also provides parents with information about how the school operates.
Buildings and Grounds Sub-committee:  This committee ensures that our school grounds and buildings are safe and well maintained.  Working Bees are a major priority for this committee, which plans the activities to be undertaken at these days.   The Committee also develops our school maintenance plan to ensure the upkeep of our buildings and grounds is maintained, as well as developing ongoing plans for our buildings and grounds. 

Please note:  The School Council AGM that was advertised for Monday 21st March has been postponed to term 2.

Conference

Last week Mrs Lough and I attended the annual Inner South Regional Conference at Lorne. This was a fantastic 3 days of professional learning around the theme of "Re-imagining Education".  There were some excellent speakers who really challenged us to consider how we can re-imagine schools and education to meet the changing needs of students and society.  It certainly was thought provoking and raised some interesting questions and debate.
Among all this change, it is also acknowledged that children are becoming more vulnerable to mental health issues and we need to help young people develop the skills to be resilient.  We had an outstanding speaker, Hugh Van Cuylenberg, present to us on the topic of “Mindfulness, Empathy and Gratitude to Develop Resilience”.  Some of the key points around this were:
  • Gratitude – being grateful for what we have, not living in the “If only….then…” attitude
  • Mindfulness – ability to be in the moment – to be present – to shut off destructive thoughts
  • Empathy – ability to think about someone else before yourself
  • How can we take control of our emotions (music, exercise and laughter have an almost immediate response on changing emotions)
  • Positive emotions build cognitive capacity, though it is healthy to also have negative emotions (ratio of 3:1)
  • The amount of information that children are taking in is HUGE and this is a big factor on mental health
  • We should all practise gratitude – record 3 things every day that went well for you during the day or that you are grateful for. In 21 days you can rewire your brain to scan your life and environment for positives.
With the statistics showing that 1 in 4 adolescents have a mental illness and 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys suffer from an anxiety disorder, we really have to look at how we can develop gratitude, mindfulness and empathy in our children.  We will be exploring this further for our classrooms and school programs as well.

Parent's and Friend's Association

Don't forget our next meeting of the PFA is this Monday at 9:00am in the Kids' Cafe.  This will be our Annual General Meeting, where we will be electing the positions of President, Treasurer, Secretary and Fundraising Convener.
We would love to have a big turnout for our AGM and some new members on board. Please join us in the Kids' Cafe on Monday 21st March at 9:00am - coffee and morning tea will be available.

End of Term

Don't forget that the term ends on Thursday 24th March, with a final assembly in the hall from 1:50pm.  This will include the very exciting Easter raffle draw.
Please note there will be no assembly on Monday 21st March.

Also, a reminder that the first day of Term 2 is a curriculum day.  Students will return to school on Tuesday 12th April.  Teachers will be using this day for professional learning around our next whole school Theories of Action - "Set challenging learning tasks" and "Frame higher order questions" as part of our Curiosity and Powerful Learning framework.

Curiosity and Powerful Learning

If you would like to find out more about Curiosity and Powerful Learning, there is a parent session being held at Mentone Primary School TONIGHT from 7:30 - 8:30pm.  This event is open to all parents of schools in Kingston involved in this work. 
The presentation will be delivered by Wayne Craig, former Regional Director in the Education Department, who developed the Powerful Learning and Teaching framework. Wayne is a wonderful, passionate speaker and will give you a solid understanding of the framework and how education is changing to meet the needs of our ever-changing world.

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST BULLYING AND VIOLENCE -
TOMORROW FRIDAY 18th MARCH! 

Special Assembly at 3pm tomorrow on the Basketball Court! Hope to see you there. 


Students are asked to wear a "splash of orange" or bring along an orange toy mascot to show their support and commitment to "take a stand together" and claim "Bullying. No Way!" Each student will receive a wrist band with the above slogans printed on it for participating in all the activities during the day. 

Students have been talking in their classrooms about bullying - what it means, how to recognise it and what to do if they see it or experience it happening.

So what is bullying? 
   
Bullying is an ongoing misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that causes physical and/or psychological harm. It can involve and individual or a group misusing their power over one or more persons. 

Bullying can happen in person or online and it can be obvious (overt) or hidden (covert). Bullying of any for or for any reason can have long-term effects on those involved, including bystanders. Single incidents and conflict or fights between equals, whether in person or online, are not defined as bullying. However these conflicts still need to be addressed and resolved. 
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES OF BULLYING
  • In 87% of bullying interactions, onlookers play a central role in the bullying process. 
  • Hurtful teasing is the most prevalent of all bullying behaviours experienced by students.
  • Having hurtful lies told about them is the second most prevalent of all bullying behaviours experienced by students.
  • Online bullying appears to be related to age (or access to technology), with older students more likely to engage in cyberbullying that younger students.  
CYBERBULLYING
Online bullying, sometimes called cyberbullying, is bullying that is carried out through Internet or mobile device technologies. Examples include:
  • repeated hang up calls
  • sending insulting or threatening text messages
  • publishing someone's personal or embarrassing information online
  • creating hate sites or starting social exclusion campaigns on social networking sites
It is important to be vigilant about what our children are accessing and how they are socialising and using digital technologies. Some alarming facts are:
  • 48% of 8-9 year olds and 78% of 16-17 year olds claim to have personal information such as a photograph of themselves on their social networking profile pages. 
  • 61% of 16-17 year olds accept 'friend requests' from people they do not know offline. 
We hope you will join with us tomorrow as we take a stand together and say: 
Bullying. No Way!

More information about talking with your child about bullying can be found here:


WORKING BEE THIS SATURDAY 19TH MARCH

The first working bee for the year is on this weekend! Thanks to those who have returned their form to indicate their attendance. The original time advertised was for a 10am start but if you are able to come any earlier, we have secured the use of a bobcat which will be here from 8am. If you are able to drop in for a short time during the day and assist in some way, it would be much appreciated. We will be removing the old play equipment from the Junior Playground and preparing the grounds for arrival of the new equipment next term. Other jobs include tidying up the grounds - removal of old branches and materials; cleaning out and tidying storage areas; weeding and mixing fertilizer and mulch into the veggie gardens ready for planting and general gardening and pruning.
