October Newsletter The first term of 2014/15 was marked by a sense of purpose and industry throughout our school. Pupils settled down into their routines and staff in departments were busy teaching and addressing their priorities for this session. All departments have been working to get the pupils settled and making progress in courses whilst taking forward their improvement plan targets. Pupil attainment and school ethos remain at the heart of the work of our staff. Our Parent Council met several times and we now have newly-elected office bearers and new members following our Parent Forum AGM. Our teams of Captains and the Pupil Council have also been busy; both working to improve the life of the school for our pupils. All this hard work from all our stakeholders underlines our philosophy of “Give all you can give” for Duncanrig. I wish to thank everyone for their continued contributions to the life of our school. As you read this edition of the newsletter you will see these collective efforts reflected in the successes and achievements of both pupils and staff. George Headteacher Pupil Council I am delighted to announce the appointment of the following pupils as representatives of their Register classes onto our Pupil Council for session 2014/2015. 1A1 – Euan Stirling 1A2 – McAneny 1B1 – Brown 1B2 – Cameron Weir 1C1 – Karen Greer 1C2 – Lewis McCann 1D1 – Milllie Peckham 1D2 – Lauren Stewart 1D3 – Lauren Stewart 2A1 – John Speir 2A2 – Shon Steen 2A3 –Andrew Hughes 2B1 – Airdrie 2B2 – Osama Moghrabi 2B3 – Thomas Johnston 2C1 – Heather Gildie 2C2 – Eleanor Hardy

Bringing faster broadband to our rural areas Project Update April 2018 Please forward this email to your contacts – we need to spread the word!

Over 61,000 properties able to connect to the fibre network Topics in this edition: Local Full Fibre Networks Challenge Fund (LFFN) EAFRD Gigabit vouchers scheme extended – now includes residential properties Broadband on new developments What does Google know about you? Copy for your own website or newsletter Questions and Answers Full Fibre Networks Challenge Fund (LFFN) We were informed just before Easter that our bid to the LFFN has been successful, subject to due diligence. Team members will be going to London at the end of April to meet the LFFN team and to answer questions arising from the bid. It is not known when we will hear the final outcome. The CSW Broadband team are now investigating procurement options. We will need to procure the Public Sector Building upgrades, as per the bid, which is essentially a typical public sector procurement exercise. However, we will also need to ensure that the bidders advise what local coverage of residential and business properties they expect to achieve, even though that is not part of the work that is funded through the project. Market engagement has already started, as we need to understand what suppliers are realistically able to deliver as it would be a waste of time for them to specify something that is simply not deliverable. EAFRD EAFRD focusses on connectivity to rural businesses that would not otherwise be upgraded. The bid has been delayed as we are awaiting details from Openreach of the additional coverage that they are putting into Contract 3, so that we can then establish where the final eligible premises will be. With the deadline of 31st May fast approaching, we are doing all that we can to ensure that a fully compliant and well-argued bid is submitted in good time. Gigabit voucher scheme extended – now includes residential In the Spring Statement the government committed to a vision of a full fibre Britain. As part of this commitment, a £67 million Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme has been announced. This is an extension

the school book bag to transport their belonging back and forward to school. Across the school we really encourage the use of these bags and we have facilities for their storage in classroom trays. The use of large rucksacks causes congestion in the cloakroom areas (which are rather small!) and doesn’t allow children to hang their coats easily. I would be grateful if children could return to the use of the school book bag when current bags are replaced. We now have a selection of bags available for purchase in the school office which cost £7.50. Parent Consultation and Workshops Thank you to all the parents who attended our workshops and consultation evenings this term. Your support and interest in your child’s education is very much valued and can make huge difference to their progress and attainment. If you haven’t yet met with your child’s teacher please make every effort do so as soon as possible. Friends of Barley Fields events A big thank you to all the members of Friends of Barley Fields who are working hard to organise some fabulous events in school in the run up to Christmas. The Monsters and Mayhem Disco was a huge success and enjoyed by children and staff alike. The next events are an amazing Christmas Fayre to be held after school on 29th Wednesday November at 5.30pm and the Christmas sing-a-long will take place on 19th December at 5.30pm. Thank you for making my first few weeks as a Head Teacher so enjoyable and to the children who make me proud every day with their hard work, determination, manners and care for everyone around them. It is an absolute privilege to be leading our wonderful school forwards this year. Yours Sincerely, Caroline Taylor Head Teacher2011 at 3:13PM
people that it is an honor to live in a time period where people seem like they have super powers. I know I am proud to live in this time period. Now, I just want one of these for Christmas. QJH Newsletter’s Insider Scoop -Kami Williams- -Lead Journalist- teacher has a reason for becoming what they are. Some were inspired by someone in their life. Whatever the reason they enjoy what they do. Mrs. Means was kind enough to let me ask her a few questions and get the thoughts of an amazing teacher such as her. As one of her students, I find her to be pretty awesome. Mrs. Means was inspired to be a teacher by the thought of being able to help make an impact on someone’s life, and she loves her job, to this day, after eight years of educating students. Her BIGGEST pet peeve is when a student says “I can’t” because she knows that they can. She has been at Quitman Junior High for three years, and she has grown to love the students here (I’m her favorite). Mrs. Means said that if she could do anything other than teaching, she would choose to be a stay at home mom or a lawyer, but Quitman is thankful to have such an amazing and well educated woman like her. Mrs. Means explained that her favorite thing about teaching is the “a-ha” look on a student’s face when they finally get a concept, or her favorite thing is seeing a kid smile because she made them feel special. Students have taught her many things, and she lists a few: -The importance of humor! -To always practice what I preach! -To always be prepared for the unexpected. -The importance of consistency. -Let go of the little things and have fun! Mrs. Means is inspiring many others by doing what she loves and enjoys doing. Quitman Junior High is glad to have someone like her on staff.

Last week, we received the official report comprising key findings and advice for future action. We can all be very proud of our school as the key findings rate Minden very highly in terms of organisation, management and performance. Whilst many schools receive a number of explicit recommendations to inform future action plans from this process, Minden has been provided with three general themes which will underpin our work for the next four years. This is a significant achievement for our school and testament to the dedication and support provided every day by our community. The three key improvement themes include: * Provide staff with a range of PD activities to optimise the skill set of an expert teaching team. * Embed the consistent curriculum planning and delivery process. * Strengthen student data tracking and the actions required to move to students into the Upper 2 bands (NAPLAN) The full Executive Summary can be found on the school’s website. School Opinion Survey Data The results are in and for the fourth year in a row the feedback is very positive across the 3 survey groups of students, parents and staff. Here is a snapshot of what our students thought: I feel safe at my school 100% My teachers motivate me to learn 100% My teachers encourage me to do my best 100% My teachers clearly explain what is required in my school work 100% My school encourages me to participate in school activities 100% I like at my school 98.2% My teachers expect me to do my best 98.1% My school is well maintained 98.2% I understand how I am assessed at my school 98.2% I can access computers and other technologies at my school for learning 98.2% I enjoy using computers and other technologies at my school for learning 98.2%

By the end of Level 2, students begin to distinguish what is familiar and different in the ways diverse individuals and families live. They describe their experiences of intercultural encounters, and identify cultural diversity in their school and/or community. Students explain how they might respond in different cultural situations. By the end of Level 4, students are able to compare a range of cultural practices and explain their influence on people’s relationships. They explain what they have learnt about themselves and others from intercultural experiences. Students explain the role of cultural traditions in the development of various identities. They develop critical perspective on and respect for their own and others cultures. By the end of Level 6, students demonstrate an understanding how beliefs and practices can be influenced by culture and explain how intercultural experiences can influence beliefs and behaviours. Students identify the barriers to and means of reaching understandings within and between culturally diverse groups and the ways in which effective engagement with those groups is promoted or inhibited. By the end of Level 8, students explain how cultural practices may change over time in a range of contexts. They understand how cultural groups can be represented, and comment on the effects of these representations. Students understand the challenges and benefits of living and working in culturally diverse communities. By the end of Level 10, students critically analyse the complex and dynamic interrelationship between and within cultures and the challenges and benefits of living in an interconnected and culturally diverse world. They evaluate how intercultural relationships and experiences influence attitudes, beliefs and behaviours in different contexts. Students analyse the components of a cohesive society, and the challenges, benefits and consequences of maintaining or failing to maintain that cohesion. More information from the Victorian Curriculum can be found at: The scope and sequence chart is at: Intercultural Understanding/capability/CQ – what is it? Intercultural Understanding/Intercultural Capability/Cultural Intelligence(CQ) are terms that are often used interchangeably. Broadly speaking CQ is the ability to function effectively in a culturally diverse situation the ability to participate and negotiate with people in a variety of contexts.

Mollie loved the things we all did together and the friendships she made especially her ‘sister’ Pam whose little acts of kindness will never be forgotten. The send off you all helped give her will always be remembered by her family and myself. And finally, for all the big hugs I’ve had over the past few weeks (they don’t necessarily have to stop) thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ll never know how much they have meant to me.

The Primary will open on 4th January. Chaplaincy Reflection In the last newsletter of 2017, we reflect on the past year, what we have achieved, and what there is still to do. This prayer, often attributed to Archbishop Oscar Romero, reminds us that we all play a part in God’s plan. It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness. No program accomplishes the Church's mission. No set of goals and objectives includes everything. This is what we are We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own. Amen Assembly this week
