Parent Survey
Last week all families received a Parent Survey with
the newsletter or on email. Please complete the survey
and return it to school ASAP so that the information
can be collated and suggestions considered. There is
also the Kids Matter Survey. The link for this survey is
www.kidsmatter.edu.au/primary/parentsurvey.
Reports
As mentioned in previous newsletters, we are now
using COMPASS as the reporting system for our students this year. The teachers have been spending a
considerable amount of time learning how to put on
tasks and to create a report that accurately reflects
your child's performance at school. Like our previous
systems, we are unable to see what you as parents
see on the screen so we are currently trying to ensure
that once you log in all will be relatively easy for you
to find the information. I anticipate that you will have
your access codes by next week to enable you to see
the comments the teachers have written. By the end
of term we will have the completed report on line for
you to view, and if you wish, to print of as a compiled
semester report.
Lightening Premiership
Yesterday 58 Inverloch and Kongwak students went
to Leongatha to play a variety of sports. A great day
was had by all. See reports and photos elsewhere in
this newsletter.
Helping your child to read
Following a number of requests for information about helping your child to read, and/or with their reading
skills I will run a session at school on Wednesday 17th June at 7.00pm for parents of any aged child
about reading skills and how to help and encourage your child to read. This will be quite informal but will look at the many stages children go through as they acquire reading and comprehension skills and what you can do to support and assist this process. It is suitable for parents of children from birth through to Year 12. Please fill out the slip below if you are able
to attend just so I have an idea of numbers. If you can’t make it please complete the slip with
alternative times that suit you.

In Spanish class the Preps are
learning about names on faces eg.
eyes, nose and mouth and how to
say those in Spanish. To help in
their learning Maestro made biscuits for them to ice and stick on
eyes, noses and mouths. Yum.
Today is National Better Buddies’ Day. It is about raising money to stop bullying. The grade 5’s are part of
the Better Buddies Program. The Better Buddies Program is about making the students in their first year of
school feel comfortable and welcome.

LIGHTNING PREMIERSHIP BOYS/MIXED NETBALL
What a fantastic day for the Boys/Mixed netball team at the
Lightning Premiership netball competition. They played 3
consistent games of netball, with great teamwork and
sportsmanship to win their way through to the grand final
against Poowong Consolidated Primary School. The game
began with some tough competition, but the IKPS team
were too strong on the day. Well done team!
Pictured: Alex Maxwell, Mitch Hewitson, Tyson Bolam, Matt
McCaughan, Jack Butcher and Baylee Sylvester - absent Taz
Spinks, Ella Sadler, Josh Williams and Jessy Sadler.
Our football team performed well in tough conditions at Mary Mackillop College on Thursday. Each
player was given the opportunity to play in a variety of positions. They supported one another and
learned the value of persistence and team work.
All of the boys played well with particular mention
to Noah Horton who pulled on the boots for the
first time. Rhien Hall was tireless all over the
ground but was particularly good taking overhead
marks. Alex Muir and Jaras Dalmau helped out in
the ruck, with great ground work by Caleb Cousins,
Josh Bertacco, Jasper Dudek, Dylan Shone, Liam
Suttie and both Jaxons. Luke Petterson was our
main goal kicker with the highlight being a great
snap over the shoulder in front of goals in the final
game. Jake and Mitch Stivic provided good running
all over the ground and managed to lay a few tackles to surprise the opposition. Sorry to anyone I
have missed but the day was a great success.
Zac Scholz worked hard all day to keep the team
together. Well done to all.

MOWING
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers
who have mowed this year. The front of the
school has looked fantastic all year, as had
the Edgar St nature strip.
Please let the office know if you are able to
mow. Thanks again….
Attention all parents/carers who are holders of Health Care Cards or Pension Cards;
Please ask at the office for an application form or print one from our school website for a
school credit. These credits can then be put towards school camps, swimming, sports charges
etc for your child. Please note forms must be lodged by 26th June (end of Term) to be eligible.
Inverloch Primary School is
helping raise money for Sids
& Kids by selling red noses,
pens, wrist bands and soft
toys. If you would like to
purchase any of these items
please call in to the office.
END OF TERM PASTRY
ORDER DAYS
Our end of term lunch orders
days will be as follows;
Tuesday Gr 5/6 16th June
Wednesday Gr 3/4 17th
Thursday Gr 1/2 18th
Friday Preps 19th
Please note you can only order
your lunch on your special grade
day that week. Eg only Gr 5/6 can
order lunch on Tuesday 16th
Gr 1/2 on Thursday 18th etc.
Orders can be made from the
normal lunch order list including
the pastry section.
no lunch orders on the last week
of Term 2 please.
For our new families, or anyone unfamiliar with our pastry lunch order days,
here is a brief run down on what happens.
At the end of each term, normally in the
second or last week, each grade level
has an opportunity on a special preselected day to order pastries from the
lunch order list. This only happens once
each term so is very popular. If your
child/ren don’t eat pastries the normal
lunch order list is still available for order but only on your grade level day.
(eg. you can’t have more than one lunch
order in pastry lunch order week, only
one on your grade level day). Please
take note of your class day above and
also in the Diary Dates...
