CSS Trail Ride
WOW!!! What an amazing weekend and a fantastic turnout
by all the riders, volunteers and spectators. A huge thank you
to all of our sponsors and organisers for another successful
Trail Ride.
There are so many people to thank for making the event
possible!! Our all-important landholders, who put up with our
ongoing communications and presence, and despite the dry
conditions were willing to move their cattle as required to
allow passage for our bikes. Our amazing sponsors and
supporters, who ensure we put on an exceptional event.
Thank you to all the volunteers from our school parental body,
school staff, community, friends and family who share in the
fun, madness and mayhem!!
As we have been forecasting the last couple of years, we are
in need of more people to help out please. If you would like
to or are interested in seeing the Trail Ride fundraising
continue for our school into the future, please come along to

From the Principal
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To everyone who has in some way, shape or form been a part of the 2021 Trail
Ride. The weekend had a great feel to it and there were so many positive comments on the Facebook page. After
tallying up all the entries there were over 600 registrations for the weekend which is a magnificent effort given the timing
and circumstances of the lockdown. Congratulations to P&C members (Julie-Anne Keppel, Trish Leddington-Hill,
Tamara Scorgie, Rachel Green and Gavin Laracy) and their exceptional band of helpers for making the event happen
because without you the event would not be possible. I sincerely thank you and all of the Trail Ride team on behalf of
myself and the school for a mighty effort. Again congratulations and well done, we love your work!
Don’t forget that next week is Book Week and Monday, 23rd August is our special street parade. This year we will be
walking in the opposite direction i.e. starting on the small oval, out the front gate, past the police station, council
chambers, ambulance station and then back into school via the large oval and into the hall. Parents you are more than
welcome to join us along the route. If you are staying onsite for the presentations of best dressed please make sure
you sign-in with the QR code which is at every gate around the school.
Please see your child’s class teacher if you need help with costume ideas. Remember that you do not need to buy
costumes and often the best costumes are what you have lying around the house. I look forward to participating and
seeing the unique creations.
With the commencement of Book Week celebrations next week, I encourage all of you to spend some time with your
child reading a favourite book. Share your passion and foster a love for reading both for purpose and pleasure. There
is nothing like escaping reality for a short period of time to enjoy a good book.
Homework Centre (HWC)
If you are interested in sending your child to Chinchilla State School Homework Centre, there are currently places
available. The Teacher Aides supervising are: Mrs Wilson, Mrs Kleidon and Mrs Luke. It is fantastic that we can support
busy families with this initiative. Can any parents who have students who normally catch the bus home, please remind
them to attend HWC. If for any reason your child is not attending the HWC please inform the office.
CLASS ATTENDANCE

Please make sure you contact the school by 9:30am via telephone: 4672 9266 to leave your absence message, text
message: 0426 305 434 or email: admin@chinchilss.eq.edu.au if your child/ren are going to be absent from school.

Why does school attendance matter?
Regular school attendance gives students a better chance at life. Students achieve better when they go to school all
day, every school day. For more helpful information visit our departmental website:

Curriculum Corner with 3A
3A has had an amazing start to Term 3.
In English, we have been focusing on procedure writing. We have read Fantastic Mr. Fox and will write a procedure
on the topic of “How to make a feast!”.
In Maths, we started the term off by looking at multiplication and for our assessment we got to make a multiplication
game. Everyone got very creative in their designs, it was amazing! We are about to test out our money skills next.
HASS has us exploring places near and far. We have been learning about all the states and territories of Australia
and Australia’s neighbours.
Learning is really ‘heating up” in Science as we investigate heat. We have been looking at heat energy and what
makes heat.
When we get the chance, we have been cheering on the Australian Olympians and learning about the history of
the Olympics. We have enjoyed keeping up with the medal tallies and exploring new sports. We have created
some pretty amazing artworks in the process. From 3A
Thank you to Downer
We would like to mention a special Thank you to Downer for their kind donation of bunting orange safety
flags which our groundmen is so pleased to have received for use around the school. It is greatly
appreciated and we will be able to put them to good use around our school.

Parent Teacher Interviews
The job of a teacher has 3 main parts.
➢ Firstly, it is a teacher’s job to organise a sequence of learning activities (called the curriculum).
➢ Secondly, to design tasks and evaluate student responses to these tasks that allow children to show
what they have learnt from the learning activities (assessment).
➢ Thirdly, it is a teacher’s job to organise the results of the assessments and provide that information to
parents, along with an evaluation of the child’s progress (reporting).
Parent / Teacher Interviews are scheduled for the last three weeks of Term 3. Interviews are able to be booked
online via the SOBS application. To ensure teachers have adequate time to prepare for your interview,
bookings will close on Friday, 20th August.
2022 Prep Interviews
As advertised, we are due to start our Prep Enrolment Sessions this week. Please find some information
on the Prep 2022 Enrolment Sessions, below. All children must attend an Enrolment Session before
starting Prep in 2022. The Enrolment Sessions are designed to create a sense of community and for
children and families to meet and establish connections in preparation for 2022. This format also allows
our staff to spend more time getting to know your children. All parents will be required to book a one-hour
timeslot and bring their child to this session. During this time, parents will be attending an information
session led by the Deputy Principals. Children will be nearby, where they will be able to interact with other
children and have hands on activities, guided by some of our early year’s teachers. The teachers will spend
some time with the children and we hope that this will be a positive way for parents and children to meet
new friends in our Chinchilla State School family. Please call our enrolment officer on (07) 4672 9222 for
all 2022 enrolment enquires.

Enrolment Process
In catchment students can currently enrol at the office during office opening hours. Prep Enrolment Sessions
will consist of a group interview where parents will be presented with information and asked to fill in
questionnaires whilst their children interact with our teachers, in a group setting. The new format is designed
to create a sense of community and for children and families to meet and establish connections in preparation
for 2022. This format will also allow our staff to spend more time getting to know your children and to observe
their interactions with other children. Please share this information with family and friends living in the
catchment area!

10SPORTS WITH MRS BYRNE The Preps will be participating in a Water Safety and Swimming Education Program as a part of Health and Physical Education, during Week 10 of Term 3. Students will have 5 lessons for the week. Please ensure your child has the following items ready for their lessons: - Sun safe swimming costume with sleeves (no bikini or similar) - Towel - Cap - Goggles - Sunscreen (Sunscreen will be provided) - Spare underwear - Easy to Slip on Shoes (Thongs, Crocs, Slides) Students will need to wear their normal school shoes to school and bring their thongs/slip on shoes in their swimming bag. The easy to slip on shoes, need to be simple for the students to put on. Students will be able to change into the slip-on shoes prior to getting on the bus. Students will change back into their school shoes upon return to school. Students are not to arrive at school in thongs/slip on shoes. Bare feet will not be acceptable. Board shorts and T-Shirts are not acceptable for swimming lessons as they hamper movement in the water and could become a safety concern. The lessons will take place at the Chinchilla Aquatic Centre in heated pool. The students will be bussed to and from the lessons. As per the safety regulations, any student who is unwell must not attend the swimming lessons. As Chinchilla State School values the importance of water safety in the early years, there will be no associated costs to Prep families. All swimming and transport costs for Prep Students have been financially supported by the school. We are also seeking parent helpers to assist with transitioning the students at the pool. If you are at all interested please email Mrs Byrne with your availability (alpat1@eq.edu.au).
