PRINCIPAI'S PE
17 July 2014
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the first edition of our school newsletter for Term 3. This term, like all school terms, is set to be very big
as we prepare to celebrate our fifty years of secondary education in September.
I would like to draw your attention to our recent staff changes. On Monday this week each of our families received a
Ietter congratulating Mrs Kelly Newton on her successful appointment to the position of Principal at Wandoan State
School. As I highlighted on Monday, this appointment is a direct result of Mrs Newton's hard work, determination
and success as the Head of Curriculum here at Taroom P-10 State School. Mrs Angela Heslin has been appointed
to the position of Head of Curriculum and will share her year 4t5 class with our new teacher, Miss Michelle Peall.
Michelle is teaching year 415, year 7, and year 9/10. Michelle joins us from the Sunshine Coast. Please join me in
welcoming Michelle Peall to Taroom, and in congratulating both Kelly Newton and Angela Heslin.
You will have noticed when dropping off your students that we are again being blessed by the painters. We have
now had the Administration building, the staffroom, the JMS building, the primary toilets, the walkways and the
Prep building painted. I have to say that the school is looking fantastic and it is a true credit to all our staff and
parent helpers.
This week Mr Brannan has been busy installing our new school signs. Each of the offices in the Administration area
have new signs on the doors, there are a number of signs highlighting the location of the Administration area
(which is always helpful) and we now have our three school rules, 'Focused on Learning, Focused on Respect and
Focused on Safety' displayed around the school. These new signs are a constant visual reminder to our students
that our core business is learning, and that respect and safety is paramount to learning success, which of course at
the end of the day is what we are all about, success!
Rodeo Dress-up (Tomorrow)
This year marks 60 years of rodeo in Taroom, and to help celebrate this milestone all our students are being
encouraged to dress-up in their favourite rodeo outfits as cowboys and cowgirls, and to wear them with pride at
school tomorrow. This is not a fundraising event; we simply wish to show our support for our local rodeo. Please
encourage all our students to come dressed for this special occasion. Tomorrow the Australian Rodeo Queen will
be visiting our school to chat with our students.

National Consistent Data Gollection about school students with disabilitv
AllAustralian governments have agreed to work together on the annual collection of data on school students
with disability.
The collection of this data will assist teachers, principals and education authorities support the participation of
students with disability in schooling on the same basis as students without disability.
|n2015, the full national collection of data on school students with disability will be required in all Australian
schools.
This new national data collection will reinforce the actions required of schools under the national Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005.
This year, the Department of Education, Training and Employment is phasing in the collection of the data,
stafting with the collection of data from 10 per cent of Queensland's state schools.
ln this first year of phasing in the colleetion, Queensland state schools will only be providing aggregate level
information, which will not identify any individual student.
ln future years, the collection will require individual student information and information will be forwarded to
parents at that time to allow them to make an informed choice about whether they want their child's
information to be included or not in the national reporting activity.
Taroom P-10 State Sehool is partieipating in this data collection next week. lf you would like to discuss this
data collection, or if you would like to not participate in the collection please contact the office as soon as
possible. The collection will be completed by Friday the 25th of July.
Further information and a fact sheet for parents/carers is available from the Department's website:
http://education.qld.oov.aulcurriculum/disabilitv-data-collection.html.
ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
The Athletics Carnival is on the Friday 1't August. The students will need to be
at school by 8:15 am to begin
the day at 8:30 am. Programs wiil be ln the newsletter closer to the date.
