French Exchange
“To be here, in Australia is kind of a dream for any French and it was a big chance for us to come here.
Living as an Australian is such a good experience for discovering and enjoying a lot of new things.
C'est un beau pays tellement loin de la France mais qui lui ressemble quand même un peu, sauf au niveau des spécialités
(vegemite/ meat pie ), nous on préfère les croissants et les baguettes parfois.
After these 6 weeks, the only thing we'd like to do is thank all students and teacher we've met because you were all so nice,
'gentils', friendly and 'accueillants'. Thank you so much everyone for this amazing trip. Merci beaucoup. “(French billet)
The 2016 Canberra Grenoble Exchange is scheduled from Saturday 2nd April to Sunday 8th May. Students will be with their host
families for four weeks, two weeks at the International school of Grenoble, Europole, and two weeks on holidays. The final week
will be in Paris going to Opera Garnier, a dinner cruise, Le Louvre, La Tour Eiffel, Montmartre and so much more.
French exchange students will be in Australia from Saturday 18 th June to Saturday 30th July (dates to be confirmed).
Please contact Mme Blumstein (Languages) if interested.
German excursions
Each year, TPS German students take part in a range of German excursions and events together with other students across
Canberra. In Term 2, Year 10 students attended an immersion day for Year 10, 11 and 12 students across Canberra at the
Palace Electric Cinemas in collaboration with Audi Festival of German Films. The students viewed a popular teenage time travel
film ‘Saphirblau’ from Germany and participated in discussion groups following the film. Year 8 and 9 students also had a chance
to attend this festival, watching the heartfelt Austrian drama ‘Das Pferd auf dem Balkon’.
Year 7 German students got out and about to visit the zoo and take part in a range of German language based activities together
with another school in Canberra. It was a great day, despite the rain and students demonstrated their animal vocabulary well as
they completed activities around the zoo.

Indonesian news. This term students are fortunate to have the help of a native speaker Indonesian Language Assistant. Ms
Catri Citraningtias will be joining classes from week 7, continuing the good work begun by Ibu Claudia last year.
Several excursions have taken place or are planned for our Indonesian students. In Term 2, Year 9 and 10 Indonesian students
visited Narrabundah College to meet with the Indonesian teachers and students there. They learned about the exciting
Indonesian program there, and took part in some language activities, as well as enjoying some Indonesian delicacies for lunch.
Students had a great time and some were inspired to continue their Indonesian studies at College level. To finish up Term 3, a
gamelan workshop is planned for Friday 19 September, for Year 7 and 8 students, at the Indonesian Embassy. Students will

experience playing various instruments on the Embassy’s Javanese and Balinese gamelans, taught by Balinese maestro Pak
Gedé. Other excursions are planned for term 4, including more gamelan workshops, and an outing to the ANU Indonesian Day.
Japanese news.
Shiho Kato, from Nagoya in Japan, has come to join the Japanese class for the next three weeks. She is a third year university
student at Aichi Shukutoku University, in Nagoya. Her majors are communication and linguistics. In Japan she plays the clarinet
and is proud owner of a Boston Terrier called Plum. This is Shiho’s first trip to Australia and she said that she is looking forward
to ‘everything Australian.’ In particular, she is hoping to see kangaroos sometime this week. First impressions? The abundance of
nature in Canberra and free standing houses with gardens. Shiho already has a MyWay pass and is commuting to school by bus
with her host sister from Year 10, Laura Nuttal. Shiho, welcome to Telopea!
PRIMARY NEWS
The season of spring has started! Let’s hope the winter coughs and colds will also be over.
This week we welcome back Robin Egerton. During such changes, teaching staff have the opportunity for acting roles. We
sincerely thank Kathy Solomko and Aminah Kazak for their leadership during Robin’s absence.
Several special events have recently show-cased the musical and artistic talents of our staff, parents and students. The beautiful
and emotive 2015 Wakakirri ‘Plasticity’ performance has successfully reached the ACT Grand Final stage. Tickets for the Grand
Final on Tuesday 8th September are sold out! We are very proud of all our students and are grateful to Cathy Marot for her
enthusiasm and imagination to lead such a project.
Thank you for your support and attendance at the Y3-6 Concert. Bilingual education is enhanced by a specialist music program
and we are very appreciative of Susan Cribb’s dedication in developing structured and fun music lessons. Thank you to Susan
and to all Staff in preparing our students for this concert performance. Bravo Team work!
The ‘veggie garden’ project has been evolving very enthusiastically. The donated seeds and tools are being put to good use and
the warmer days will add to the excitement of planting and watching seeds grow. This is a life-long learning opportunity. Thank
you to everyone involved with the extra garden care.
We ask for parent support in ensuring that all K-6 students are bringing their broad-brimmed hats every day. We are a Sun
Smart school and ‘Hats-on’ recommenced in August. Due to the cold weather many students have worn beanies in August,
however, now students must wear hats during outside play and activity. Research shows that it is the sun exposure when we are
young that may cause skin cancer issues in later life. Help us to teach our students sun-smart habits for life.
The remainder of this month will see a busy learning time as teachers continue interesting projects and we look forward to
sharing them with you at the end of the term.
Please continue to support us in the regular request for
-
Timely arrival to class. Playground supervision starts at 8.30 am.
Checking for Lost Property. Unclaimed and unnamed items are moved to the Clothing store.
Safe, respectful and legal traffic behaviour at drop-off and pick-up time.

NOUVELLES DU PRIMAIRE
Voici l’arrivée du printemps! Espérons que les rhumes et toux de l’hiver s’en iront !
Robin Egerton est de retour cette semaine. C’est lors de certains changements d’organisation que le personnel enseignant a la
possibilité de faire faisant-fonction. Nous remercions chaleureusement Kathy Solomko et Aminah Kazak pour leur rôle de
direction pendant l’absence de Robin.
Plusieurs événements spéciaux ont mis à l’honneur les talents musicaux et artistiques des enseignants, des parents et des
élèves. Le spectacle de Wakakirri ‘Plasticity’ est sélectionné pour la grande finale de l’ACT 2015, un spectacle à la fois magnifique
et chargé d’émotion. Les tickets pour la grande finale qui aura lieu le mardi 8 septembre ont tous été vendus! Nous sommes
extrêmement fiers de nos élèves et très reconnaissants envers Cathy Marot pour l’enthousiasme et l’imagination qu’elle a mis
dans ce projet.
Un grand merci pour votre soutien et votre présence au concert des élèves de CE2 à Sixième. L’éducation bilingue se trouve
grandie grâce à un programme musical mis en place par une spécialiste et nous apprécions énormément le dévouement de
Susan Cribb envers le développement de cours de musique structurés et amusants. Merci à Susan et à l’ensemble des
enseignants qui ont préparé nos élèves à cette belle représentation. Bravo à l’esprit d’équipe!
Le jardin potager évolue avec enthousiasme. Nous avons fait bon usage des graines et outils qui nous ont été donnés et les
beaux jours qui arrivent ne feront que renforcer la joie de planter et de voir les plantes pousser. C’est une expérience éducative
que les élèves garderont pour la vie. Merci à tous ceux qui s’impliquent au quotidien dans l’entretien du jardin.

Nous demandons aux parents de bien vérifier que les élèves des classes de Maternelle à Sixième apportent un chapeau à large
bord chaque jour à l’école. Nous sommes une école portant le label ‘Sun Smart’ et le port du chapeau est obligatoire depuis le
début du mois d’août. En raison du temps froid, de nombreux élèves ont porté un bonnet au mois d’août. Cependant, les élèves
doivent, à présent, porter un chapeau lors des activités et jeux de plein air. Des recherches ont démontré qu’une exposition
prolongée au soleil pendant les premières années de la vie pouvait provoquer des cancers de la peau à l’âge adulte. Aidez-nous à
apprendre aux élèves à prendre de bonnes habitudes face au soleil.
Le reste du mois de septembre promet d’être bien chargé grâce aux nombreux projets éducatifs proposés par les enseignants et
nous sommes d’ores et déjà impatients de vous les faire partager à la fin de ce trimestre.
Merci de continuer à nous apporter votre soutien sur les points suivants:
-
Arriver à l’école pendant les horaires prévus. La surveillance dans la cour commence à 8H30.
Vérifier l’armoire des objets perdus. Tous les vêtements ou objets sans nom ou non réclamés seront donnés à l’Uniform
Shop.
Avoir un comportement sûr, respectueux des personnes et du code de la route au volant lorsque vous déposez ou
récupérez vos enfants.
