19.01.2022 Positive Behaviour for Learning model will provide staff and students a positive, proactive system for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours. Positive Behaviours for Learning is a problem solving framework that addresses social behaviour and academic outcomes. It is a systems approach to enhance the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design effective learning environments. This model will be based around our new three core values whi...ch will be implemented across all areas of the school in 2021. Our new core values are Be Safe Be Respectful Be a Learner In understanding what these expectations are, how they apply to all areas of the school, and the clear consequences of not following these, students are empowered to regulate their own behaviour. In order to promote positive behaviour, students will be rewarded regularly through a school merit system. Positive Behaviours for Learning assists our staff in the delivering high quality learning programs and maintaining high levels of behavioural and academic learning outcomes for all students. This increases student engagement and learning by promoting ‘on-task’ behaviours and decreasing distractions in the learning environment. See more

17.01.2022 Celebrating NAIDOC Week here at Miami State School Library! We have a collection of books in our school library written by Aboriginal Australian authors that tell stories, both fiction and non-fiction with Indigenous voices. Do you know what NAIDOC stands for? National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920's which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

14.01.2022 A BOOK A DAY: Shortlisted entry for Picture Book of the Year TILLY by Anna Walker and text by Jane Goodwin CBCA stated:... Exquisite illustrations accompany a beautiful, unusual and intriguing story that captures a small girl's identity through her relationship with treasured objects in a noisy home. Tilly, the youngest and quietest in a family of active boys and one other sister, finds her own space and her own pastimes which give her pleasure and security. These objects are hidden beneath the stair into her room and, ultimately, become lost to her forever when the house is carpeted. The language is simple yet evocative, delving into the world of the protagonist. The linework is delicate and captures the overall feeling of quietness and subtle appreciation of the world in which the child lives. Colours are muted but the clutter and movement in the house is captured in scattered objects rather than bright colours. The print text is smaller than usual and gathered tightly in open-ended space which, again, is reflective of the nature of the story. This is a book that would be enjoyed over and over again and each time something new would be found or pondered. The production, text and illustrations are of the highest level.

14.01.2022 A BOOK A DAY: Shortlisted entry for Book of the Year: Younger Readers "The Secrets of Magnolia Moon" by Edwina Wyatt, illustrations by Katherine Quinn. What CBCA said about the book:... A whimsically delightful story about a nine-year-old girl. Magnolia, who loves Greek mythology and keeping other people’s secrets, is navigating changes in her life, such as her best friend moving away and the impending arrival of a baby brother. Magnolia is depicted as a little girl with hopes, fears and worries, but she is also full of love and trust in her adults. The minor characters are plausible and full of kindness and empathy for Magnolia and her best friend, Imogen May, who enjoy hanging upside-down on the clothesline. The themes of family, friendship, innocence and change are explored subtly Repeated gentle humour involving periods of time and the personification of the staircase in her family home, serves to maintain the joyful mood. Metaphor and imagery are used throughout the lyrical writing and the illustrations complement the text. The cover design and production are of high quality and are immediately eye-catching.

13.01.2022 Our tuckshop staff at Miami are truly outstanding. They do such a marvellous job and always with a beautiful smile and cheer. A special thank you to our tuckshop workers today and every day for providing a great sevice that helps out our students, staff and families. HAPPY TUCKSHOP DAY!

13.01.2022 I am so very proud of our STEM Enrichment group who earned their position in the 2020 Regional First Lego League tournament today. They stood against, and certainly stood out amongst high school and STEAM academy teams. Our two squads improved their problem solving, coding, and engineering abilities continually throughout the three rounds. It was a brilliant day with so many skills being practiced and honed. 3 2 1 Lego!

13.01.2022 Reminder to all senior TSP and JEP Dance students - The teams will be performing next Wednesday at the Year 6 and Year 3 Awards ceremonies. Please ensure you have appropriate hair and costume on the day as per note sent home. Ms. Zanco
