Windsor State School eNewsletter

Dear Windsor Community,

Welcome back to the second half of our academic school year. I trust that all families successfully received semester one student report cards which were distributed prior to the holidays. We now have our sights firmly set on new learning goals for each child as we dive into term three units of work. The next ten weeks are vibrant ones. For our older students, camp or the school musical may be a particular highlight and for our younger students, excursions and Book Week will be sure to bring a spark to the learning. How are those Book week costume coming along by the way?

We began the term with a very special whole school parade under the fig trees to officially open our new junior playground. Marking this occasion in such a meaningful way helped our students understand the important role our P&C plays, as well as the part we contribute in building a strong and connected school community. Thank you to all who attended, offered and supported ideas throughout the process. Thanks to everyone’s contributions, we now have a play space that lends itself to greater amounts of imaginative play, exploration and collaboration – indeed, a beautiful playground for our students to enjoy for many years to come.

How many children does it take to fill a boat?

1A had been using the new sandpit for a maths capacity lesson when they decided to count how many students could fit into our boat.. the whole class it seems!

School Opinion Survey

This week you will have received an email with a link inviting you to complete our annual School Opinion Survey. This email is not distributed by Windsor State School but rather generated externally by the Department of Education. The survey is an opportunity for families to provide feedback to us, your primary school. All feedback is valuable as we acknowledge and create the best schooling experience for your child. I do encourage families to complete the survey as the higher the rate of completion, the more credible and useful the data received will be. This survey will also be completed by students in years 5-6, as student voice is another important aspect of our ongoing improvement plan.

The survey can be completed via computers, tablets or smart phones with an internet connection. For Parents/Caregivers who do not have access to the internet school computers/tablets will be available upon request. Parents/caregivers who experience difficulties accessing the survey can request a new survey from the School Opinion Survey team via email schoolopinionsurvey@qed.qld.gov.au

Can’t find your invitation? If your family has more than one parent/caregiver, check that they haven’t received the invitation and/or check your junk email folder.

Art Work Complete - The Windsor Way

One of our very talented Windsor parents, Amani Jhalisa Rodgers, with the input and ideas form our students, has been working on a bespoke digital artwork to represent our school community.

The artwork is now complete and we had the pleasure of sharing it with the whole school at our recent NAIDOC Parade. The artwork itself is absolutely beautiful and the story it represents even more powerful.

Please take a few moments to appreciate this incredible artwork and read the story of ‘The Windsor Way’.

‘The Windsor Way’ by Amani Jhalisa Rodgers

This artwork was created to honour the vibrant community that makes up Windsor State School. At the heart of the piece is a large central meeting place, symbolising the school itself. It represents the unity of staff, teachers, teacher aides and leadership who come together each day with a shared purpose; to guide and grow the next generation.

Radiating out from the centre are stepping stones. These represent the path of learning, growth, and connection — each step taken by students, staff, and families working together to build a brighter future.

Surrounding the central meeting place are four smaller gathering circles. These symbolise the school’s sport houses - Wilson, Lutwyche, Maynard and Bowen. Each one plays a vital role in shaping the students’ experiences, building belonging, teamwork and healthy competition.

Flowing throughout the piece is a journey line. It weaves through gatherings that represent each stage of a child’s schooling at Windsor, from their very first day in Prep, right through to their final year in Grade 6. This journey line is a visual story of growth, connection, learning and change - the years spent growing not just in knowledge, but in identity, resilience and community.

Across the canvas, you’ll see smaller meeting places that represent the parents, carers and volunteers the backbone of the Windsor community. These are the people who show up, lend a hand, and help create a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for every child.

You’ll also find symbols for waterways woven into the piece, representing the Brisbane River and local waterways that surround the area. These waterways have been a vital resource for the Turrbal people for thousands of years and continue to hold deep cultural, spiritual and environmental significance. Their presence in the artwork acknowledges and honours the enduring connection of the Turrbal people to this land and water.

Scattered throughout the design are delicate purple jacaranda leaves, which is a tribute to the many jacaranda trees that bloom across the school grounds each year, bringing colour and beauty to the space.

The entire piece is created in shades of blue, reflecting Windsor’s school colours. The varied dot and dash textures symbolise the natural elements of the school environment like native flora, flowering bushes and stone, grounding the story in the land on which the school sits.

This piece is a celebration of Windsor’s strength, unity and care. A living, breathing community that walks together to support every child’s journey, while standing with respect on Country that has been cared for since time immemorial.

Amani is a multidisciplinary artist who creates both canvas and digital artworks, using storytelling, symbolism, and culture to express connection, identity, and healing. Her art is deeply personal and often inspired by her journey as a mother, creating from a place of love, strength, and a desire to leave a legacy for her son.

Through her cultural workshops and creative practice, Amani empowers young people to explore their own stories, build cultural pride, and find healing through creativity.

Years 3 and 5 NAPLAN

These National Assessments are now complete, with results shared with Year 3 and 5 families last week. Windsor State School students can feel proud of their achievements—both individually and in comparison, with peers across the state.

While NAPLAN was originally introduced to help schools identify areas for improvement in teaching and learning, its use has broadened over time (some uses less positive than others). What does remain most valuable is that NAPLAN offers a snapshot in time—a single piece of data. Our teachers use this information by triangulating it with ongoing classroom assessments and students’ A–E achievement to guide planning and support student growth. The below we share the Windsor’s Mean Scale Scores compared to the State.

Year Level	Group	Domain	Number	Mean

Protected Industrial Action

I would like to keep families informed about the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement process that is currently in place between the Queensland Teachers Union and the State Government. This bargaining process usually has no bearing on your children however during this review phase the QTU members have clearly motioned for the option of protected industrial action (strike action) if appropriate offers are not received. If this were to occur I will communicate as quickly as able, any impact on your child/ren’s school day. For all, it is hoped a less disruptive agreement process will prevail.

Yours in Education

NAIDOC Week at Windsor SS

This week, Windsor SS celebrates NAIDOC Week. National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As NAIDOC Week falls in the school holidays, Windsor SS has celebrated this week.

During the week, classes have been working on their classroom’s ‘Deadly Door’, created for the this year’s theme of The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy. This theme is particularly pertinent in our primary school setting. Over the coming days, feel free to have a walk around and see some of the many different displays across the school.

Our annual NAIDOC Week parade was a beautiful way to start the week of celebrations. Junior Choir did a wonderful medley performance and a special thank you to Prep A for opening with their own Acknowledgement of Country, in both English and Auslan.

This special parade was also a wonderful opportunity to reveal ‘The Windsor Way’ artwork with our whole school together.

NCCD – Nationally Consistent Collection of Data

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019).

Information provided about students to the Australian Government for the NCCD includes:

year of schooling
category of disability: physical, cognitive, sensory or social/emotional
level of adjustment provided: support provided within quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary, substantial or extensive.

This information assists schools to:

formally recognise the supports and adjustments provided to students with disability in schools
consider how they can strengthen the support of students with disability in schools
develop shared practices so that they can review their learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the information they need to plan more broadly for the support of students with disability.

The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. To find out more about these matters, please refer to the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy (https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy).

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au).

If you have any questions about the NCCD, please contact the school.

Big feelings and the behaviours that often come with them are part of growing up, but when emotions run high, even the strongest parent-child connection can feel the strain. Boundaries matter. So does connection. The challenge? How to hold your ground without losing your connection and influence in the process. As parents and carers, we want to hold firm, loving boundaries, but how do we do this in a way that deepens connection, holds them safely, and protects their willingness to turn to us?

This seminar is here to help…

We have invited acclaimed psychologist, Karen Young, to Windsor State School to host a parent seminar on the evening of Thursday 14 August 2025.

The topic of her seminar for parents and carers will be, ‘Holding Strong, Loving Boundaries (Including Around Social Media & Screens) While Preserving Influence and Connection’.

It will be about leading with presence, connection and confidence. To view a flyer outlining the content of the evening in detail, please click here.

This seminar, has a different focus to Karen's well-attended and well-received parent seminars from 2022, 2023 and 2024. However, there are some key themes that will be reinforced, as they are highly important for enabling our students to develop with our guidance and support as adults. There will be many key takeaways for parents, carers and staff to implement when working to support our wonderful students.

Historically, these events have seen very strong ticket sales, so please look to opt-in early to secure your seat.

Date: Thursday 14 August, 6.30 – 8.00pm
Venue: Windsor State School Hall
Cost: $15

Tickets are available for purchase exclusively via the Qkr! App via the below path:

Windsor SS > School Payments > Payments > 2025 Karen Young Parent Seminar

Don’t have Qkr! Please see the following link for set up information- How to set-up Qkr!

A list of all parents and carers that have paid via Qkr! will be kept at the door on the evening of the event as a record of who has purchased a ticket. Please present to the sign-on desk upon arrival. You may purchase multiple tickets in each transaction via the 'add to cart' function. We will keep a list of multiple ticket purchases at the door. If you are from outside of Windsor State School and do not have access to Qkr! then EFTPOS facilities will be available to you at the front door on the evening.

Teaching reading at Windsor

At Windsor, we have been teaching reading and spelling using a systematic synthetic phonics program, Sounds Write, for 5 years now. We use this program from Prep to Year 5 and will move it into Year 6 next year. In the upper years (3-6), the focus is really on spelling (encoding) and we might cover more of that in a future edition. For those parents not yet familiar with how we teach reading in the early years at Windsor, I have summarised some key information here.

At Windsor State School, we always follow the evidence from scientific research to ensure our programming and pedagogy is best practice. Therefore, we teach reading using the structured synthetic phonics program, Sounds-Write. Sounds-Write is widely regarded as the gold standard for teaching phonics and we as a school are finding its explicit and structured programming is excellent. Alongside this, we have very specific screening assessment tools that also help us to identify students who may find difficulty with some aspects of learning to read. With an excellent teaching program and early identification of students who require supplementary supports, we are very confident in our ability to help all students learn to read.

Our explicit phonics programming teaches students the letter-sound correspondences required to be able to decode and encode words. Students ‘say the sound and read the word’ when learning to read. They do not guess, memorise words or use picture clues – they read the words.

One of the key components for consolidating this learning and gaining fluency is the use of decodable texts. When these come home, it is important for parents to remember that they are solely for the purpose of practising the ‘code’ that they have been learning. The key to successfully reading a decodable is to be able to read it fluently and without ‘guessing’ any words. Children may be able to read the text without error, but we also need that to occur with fluency (speed, accuracy and with appropriate expression) as this affects comprehension, especially as they move up the grades. They may need to read a text many times before this happens, so please don’t mistake accuracy alone for fluency. These are texts that are expected to be read multiple times to practise; they are not designed to replace literary texts.

As this ‘code’ (this is what we call learning the sound-letter correspondences of the English language) knowledge builds over time, the texts will become more complex and by the second semester of Year 1, most students will begin leaving decodables behind and moving to more year-level, authentic texts that they choose themselves. We encourage a lot of non-fiction texts when this begins as they allow students to build their background knowledge and vocabulary ready for improving comprehension and move into ‘reading to learn’. Non-fiction texts contain information in shorter ‘bursts’ of text that hold a child’s attention and engagement but are also suited to their reading stamina at that age and stage.

If parents are wanting to better understand the teaching and strategies behind Sounds-Write, John Walker (founder of Sounds-Write) created a free online course for parents during lockdown and it is still freely available. There are two parts to the course and each is 1.5 hours long so it is a maximum 3-hour commitment. Although it only refers to the initial code (Prep), the key components of the teaching are also applicable to the extended code (Yr 1-2) so it is very relevant to any parents wanting to further support their child/children at home. This is by no means something parents need to do, but may be helpful for those parents of struggling readers in particular.

For more information and to access the course, please click here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

As active and involved parents, we often take great pride in being supportive and integral members of our students’ lives. It is, indeed, very important for students to have loving and supportive parents and carers that take an active interest in their academic and social-emotional engagement. However, a big part of childhood and growing up is developing increasing levels of resilience and independence. Enabling our children to develop these skills is effectively empowering them to become successful adolescents and young adults in the coming years. We take great pride in offering a Year 3-6 Camping Program, which enables opportunities to develop resilience in new settings also.

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to Term 3 everyone. We hope you enjoyed your holiday. The sun was shining, and I got to go down to Junior Sports day on the last day of term. Here are some photos of me having a great time. I ran in a race, and I didn’t win but I got a blue ribbon and was very proud. I helped with tug of war as well. It was such a great day, and I got lots of pats. I had my photo taken with the winners Maynard. My Mum calls them the Mighty Maynard but look at my shirt I go for all the houses, so everyone is a winner to me. I had so many compliments on my very fancy house shirt so thank you again to the Mayor family who made this for me.

I have a bit of a secret special talent (well not so secret) I can sniff out a handball when it is hidden, no matter where it is. This week Miss Coleman was helping some children find their lost handball and it was in the very thick part where you could not get your hand or see where it was. But we were walking past, and I used my special talent and even though my Mum was not keen for me to crawl through the very thick branches I stopped and found the ball. The children were very happy, but Miss Coleman and my Mum had to make a whole at the top to pull me out because I had gotten very caught up in the thick branches. The photo below is when I was heading in on my mission. I love making people happy in all different sorts of ways.

Looking forward to what I can get up to this term.

Love Ruby

Did you know? ...

Flowers are vital to our garden, attracting pollinators and adding beauty. This week, students sorted gladioli bulbs to plant, sell, and save, showing great care and teamwork. Flowers are vital to our garden, attracting pollinators and adding beauty. They also added new seeds to the flower bed entry, demonstrating their growing knowledge of planting and how different plants can support each other.

Did you know? ...

In our sustainability garden, students learnt how to repurpose an existing plant that was root bound to create more! By carefully digging up and breaking apart the clumping plant students were able multiply a plant without buying new ones. This hands-on activity helps students understand plant life cycles, reduce waste, and make the most of what nature provides. It’s a fantastic way to expand our garden while caring for the environment and learning how to grow more from less.

Have a Great 5Rs Week!
