Message from the Principal

We made it! Term 3 is now coming to a close and what an incredibly busy 10 weeks we’ve had. From ICAS testing to excursions, Year 6 camp, sporting and academic tournaments, P&C’s Day on the Oval, the school Fun Run, sailing programs, signature programs, STEAM workshops, music camps and more. I’d like to thank all of our teachers, staff, students, volunteers and parents who have contributed in one way or another to make this term a great one!

As the weather starts to heat up, our PE program transitions into swimming in Term 4. This is a great opportunity for all year levels to stay active, refine their swimming skills and benefit from the excellent coaching provided by our partners, Aquatic Achievers in Chandler. If you have questions about our swimming program, please speak with Dr Doherty.

Speaking of sport, today is our School Cross Country; a great way to wrap up the end of term. Best of luck to all of our enthusiastic runners and participants. We look forward to acknowledging our Cross Country winners early next term.

As we prepare for the holidays, I ask for our school community to help keep watch of our premises. If you notice anything suspicious, please call the School Watch number on 13 17 88. Secondly, don’t forget that Code Camp is being held at Gumdale during the holidays from 24 to 26 September 2018. If you would like to register, visit the link below. This is a great opportunity for your child to learn more about the world of coding.

Wishing our entire Gumdale State School community a safe and relaxing break. Keep reading, take time out and I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday 8 October when we return for the start of Term 4.

Always our Best,

We are also reminding our students to be respectful of the school environment and we have communicated that they are not to play in our gardens or climb trees. This is for their safety as well as to ensure our school grounds maintain their high level of presentation.

We will continue to convey information about our routines and procedures to students so that they aware of our expectations. Please be aware that if students do not adhere to these expectations, they may be referred to the Responsible Thinking Classroom.

We thank you for your continued support to ensure our students are always their best.

Senior School News

Year 5 Aspire Higher Leadership Incursion

After the success of Unleashing Personal Potential with our year 6 students last term, we had Hogan and Cody at Gumdale for the day last week to run their ‘Aspire Higher’ leadership program with students in year 5. It was a full day of training with the whole cohort over three high impact sessions. Students participated in team builders, initiative, and problem solving activities with a servant leadership theme.

Students took part in a variety of activities and discussions:

• LEADING WITH OR WITHOUT THE BADGE - example, influence and kindness,
• THE EPIC RACE - outdoor, fast-paced team event (using our A.S.P.I.R.E. framework),
• KNOWING ME, GROWING ME - understanding my strengths and those of others.

The students had a great day and their feedback was very positive.

The UPP incursion was a really educational experience for us Grade 5s. It taught us all about how to do leadership and work together with other people that we don't know. We found out that we don't have to have a badge to be a true leader, all we need is confidence and workmanship. My favourite part was when we chose someone we didn't know and got to get to know a little bit about them. Mia, 5G

In the Aspire lessons they taught us about how to be a great leader with or without a badge. We learned that A.S.P.I.R.E means action, serve, persist, influence, respect and encourage. The final session was about what type of leader you are – prophet, planner or people. Overall the Aspire day taught us that everyone is a leader. Chloe, 5R

The Aspire Higher taught us about being a great leader whether you have a badge or not. The two instructors, Hogan and Cody, taught us many fun and exciting activities that included teamwork and kindness. Kadence, 5R

We look forward to welcoming the team from Unleashing Personal Potential again next year.

STEAM News

Sustainability @ Gumdale X

Year 4 students have been sorting through their lunch waste to help answer their HASS Inquiry question ‘How can people use their environments more sustainably?’ They will be using Digital Technology to collate, sort and present their waste data in a variety of formats including informational tables and graphs. We are looking forward to the more sustainable solutions our creative Year 4 students come up with!

Year 2 students are working on trialling a great initiative ‘No Waste Wednesday’. The aim is for students to eliminate the landfill and recycling waste in their lunch box. Organic waste is fine so long as it is coming to the worm/compost bins and not going into the red rubbish bin.

Let’s work together in making Gumdale State School more sustainable!

Year 4

Students have been investigating whether eucalyptus oil compared with other oils has the ability to reduce/kill germs and slow mould growth.

STEAM Clubs

STEAM Signature Program

STEAM Signature students had a smashing time testing their prototype bridges! Well done to all teams for succeeding with the Challenge! The bridge designed and created by Danielle H, Emily E and Kirby W withstood more than 40kg!

Students used the engineering process to design, build and test a model bridge to help deliver disaster relief after an earthquake.

The bridge

• could only be made of paddle pop sticks and PVA glue
• had to span a 40cm gap
• maximum height 20cm

Our next challenge looks at the problem of transporting fresh produce from high up in fertile mountain regions to markets in the valleys below. Many farmers around the world have no other option but to make this long, dangerous trek by foot taking them away from their farms for days at a time. Teams need to design, build and test a model that can transport as many cherry tomatoes as possible without squashing them.

The system must:

• start from a height of 2 metres
• travel at least 2 metres horizontally without touching the ground
• no external energy source
• not exceed budget constraints

Kitchen Garden

Kitchen Garden Club members were able to reap the benefits of their gardening efforts! We harvested good crops of thyme, baby carrots, snow and sugar snap peas, broccoli, nasturtium leaves and flowers. All plants were easily harvested by gently pinching the stems. Students noticed an abundance of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae sp.) and wondered if these were harmful for the garden. We learned that some ladybird beetles are actually really good for our garden as they eat the harmful leaf-eating bugs, like aphids. There is the 28 spotted, or leaf-eating ladybird that we will need to monitor as they do like potato leaves. The simplest way to rid our garden of the pesky 28-spotted ladybird is to remove them by hand.

After washing our hands and veggies, the children made a simple dip of ricotta, thyme (from school garden), lemon zest and chive, from my garden) and sampled the fresh produce at the school's BBQ area. We made nasturtium wraps with the leaves and stuffed nasturtium flowers which looked so pretty on a plate! The school staff were treated to a big plate of tasty, fresh snacks courtesy of the Club. One serving of vegetables down before 9am!

Did you know? Nasturtium leaves, stems and flowers are all edible . A native of Peru, they are very high in vitamin C and have some antimicrobial properties which help our bodies to fight off flus and colds. They have a spicy, peppery taste (like rocket) that paired well with our dip and can be added to salads and stir-fries for colour and flavour. The seeds can be used in place of capers! A great all around kitchen plant that grows and self-seeds exceptionally well.

Our next harvest will be early next term when our large crop of potatoes and silverbeet will be coming out of the ground and onto our plates.

We have started to think about how we could make the garden boxes visually beautiful. First, we measured the boxes so we know how much area we have to work with. We then took some inspiration from Pinterest and thought about what designs we might be able to create using recycled plastic bottle tops. The students are now busy thinking about the design they would like to create. Each student made lid 'bugs' (one to take home and one for the school garden). We will continue to work on the mural plans over the coming weeks while we collect lids to achieve our designs.

Thank you to our parent and teacher volunteers – Kate Tatham, Genevieve Agerholm and Peta Beven.

Volunteers – We have a couple of small building projects requiring tools, skills and time. Please contact Amanda Sheppard if you can help in any way.

• We have a second hand bath tub that we would like to convert into a worm garden. We have design plans.
• Garden waste compost bins to be made from second hand pallets. We have the pallets and design ideas.

Donations of plastic lids (not metal), mulch, and soil for the garden are appreciated and can be dropped to the STEAM Centre.

WAMM CAMP & CONCERT

Our 5’s and 6’s are having a wonderful time at our district music workshop (WAMM Camp) working on music in a huge combined Concert Band with guest conductors, teachers and tutors from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and heaps of fun activities. They will finish the camp with a special performance for parents held in the Star Theatre at Wynnum State High School to show off everything they have learned. Well done on representing Gumdale SS so well, everyone!

YEAR 3 FAMILIES & INSTRUMENTAL RECRUITMENT

Some information about the recruiting timeline for 2019:

The first round of offers will be sent out early next term. No-one has yet been offered a place in the program. At this stage, the data of our aural tests (which all Year 3's do) has been gathered and ranked, and I have mouthpiece and instrument tested the first group who may be eligible for the first round of offers. The actual numbers of students I can teach is limited.

The students are ranked using aural test (rhythmic and melodic) data, I mouthpiece test approximately the number that my time allocation at Gumdale can take in the intake (this is in flux as it also depends on how many students continue in the upper grades), and I look to fill a balanced concert band (ie. a band which is not all clarinets, or all trombones). I then may mouthpiece test extra students to fill vacant places, I then see who has declined their first round offer and I move down the data rankings until my places are filled.

If you are interested in the Instrumental Music Program at Gumdale please attend our:

2019 Instrumental Music Information Evening:

Tues 16 Oct in the Music Room, STEAM Building 5:30pm-6:30pm.

I will be there to answer questions, better explain the Instrumental Program (particularly costs and expectations), and a visiting Instrument Repairer and Second-hand instrument Supplier, Sally Lindenberg will also be there to talk about quality instrument purchasing and maintenance. Sally will also have a selection of second-hand reconditioned quality instruments with repair warranty for sale.

What to do if your child misses out on a place:

Firstly, joining choir is a great start, definitely learning a Concert Band Instrument privately is ideal too. Please keep in touch, as there may be students who depart Gumdale SS from time to time, and if your child is eligible, and has been learning privately, there may be a chance to include them in the program in Year 5. Having private lessons will mean students will be at a level with their peers. Many music stores offer an instrument rental service, and second-hand quality branded instruments are preferred over cheap, coloured or poor-quality instruments – please research carefully.

Please feel free to email me if you have further questions.
