Knowles has come to our school each Friday to
provide Japanese lessons for our students. We
are fortunate to have Miss Knowles, a highly
experienced teacher who has lived and worked in
Japan, therefore developing a keen knowledge of
the language and culture.
School context
Fingal Head Public School respectfully stands on
Bundjalung land and we respect the Bundjalung
people as the traditional custodians of this land.
At this school, staff members maintain a firm
commitment to quality learning and quality
teaching in a safe caring environment, and based
on the development of self-worth. There is a
focus on Early Learning and on the use of
innovative technology to enhance student
learning outcomes within the school's curriculum.
These are both valued and supported by the
parents and wider community. The school's
stated aims are to encourage self-discipline and
critical thought through the acquisition of
knowledge, skills and the competencies
necessary to participate in and contribute to
society. We also aim to provide a sound
educational environment where students are
happy, caring and thinking individuals aware of
their responsibilities and striving to achieve their
maximum potential.
Our students have continued to demonstrate
their commitment to protecting the local
environment through their work with the Fingal
Coast Care and Tweed/Byron Local Aboriginal
Land Council. Their hard work and dedication was
recognised by the Keep Australia Beautiful NSW
organisation with the award of the State Young
Legends Award.
Every day is a great day at Fingal Head Public
School and I feel honoured to be able to come
here every day to work with the amazing
students, staff and community.
I certify that the information in this report is the
result of a rigorous school self-evaluation process
and is a balanced and genuine account of the
school’s
achievements
and
areas
for
development.
Principal’s message
Christine Marshall
Fingal Head Public School has continued to grow,
thrive and “Celebrate Achievement” in 2013.
Once again our strong partnerships with parents
and local community members have ensured
students have been afforded opportunities for
learning in and beyond the classroom. For the
first time in many years, Fingal Head PS P&C
organised and ran a school fete. This fete was the
culmination of months of hard work by our P&C
team and was a resounding success on many
levels. Not only did we raise funds that put
valuable learning resources into our classrooms
but we brought the Fingal Head community
together in a day of fun and celebration.
P & C and/or School Council message
2013 has been a busy but very successful year for
the P & C with the first Fingal Fete being the
highlight of the year. With lots of work but also
lots of fun we all had a great day. We couldn’t
have done it without the support of Christine
Marshall (our principal) who was positive and
enthusiastic from the start. The teachers and of
course Tanya give it their all. Fiona McGoldrick,
our relieving principal, stepped in amazingly.
Parents helped with coordinating stalls, cooking
and serving at the BBQ, and joining in with the
fun – making it a true community event.
Our students continue to thrive in our classrooms
due to the outstanding work carried out by our
teachers, our support staff and our volunteers.
Our staff is hard-working, dedicated and
professional, ensuring students are challenged to
strive for improvement and achievement of their
best.
This year has seen the introduction of a Japanese
language teacher to our staff. Miss Darlene

This year has had many highlights for us, but we
especially enjoyed the fete. We were proud to be
able to help our school raise money and we had a
lot of fun as well.
The leadership conference at Twin Towns was
also a fun day but a great learning experience as
well. We were able to think about how we can be
better leaders in our school and learned about
how we can help our fellow students.

The best experience this year was definitely our

Recreation Camp and we spent three days having
the best fun with our friends. Everyone loved the
giant swing, especially when Pat had a go and
then we got Kruize up on it as well. Thank you to
Mr Crowder, Miss Kirk, Miss Belbin and Pat for
coming with us, looking after us and making
camp so much fun.

Significant programs and initiatives
Aboriginal education
Fingal Head Public School respectfully
acknowledges the Bundjalung people who are the
traditional custodians of the land on which our
school is located. We maintain a strong
commitment to implementing the DEC’s
Aboriginal Education Policy. We continually strive
to improve the educational outcomes for our
Indigenous students and to educate all students
about Aboriginal Australia.
Term 4 proved to be a busy sporting term, with
students participating in the surfing program
Walking on Water. This program is designed for
children from 5 to 12 years of age and most
students took up the opportunity to participate.
All students reported how enjoyable they found
the program and parents were keen to assist,
ensuring all children were well supervised and
safe while in the water. In addition our
Kindergarten to year 3 children participated in a
two week intensive swimming program to build
their skills in preparation for the summer ahead.
This program also proved to be a great success,
with children showing improvement in their
swimming skills and water safety knowledge.
In 2013 we have demonstrated our achievement
in the following ways:
Students this year were offered a unique sporting
opportunity from the Wheelchair Road Show. The
children all participated in a lesson in wheelchair
basketball. This experience exposed the children
to the challenges faced by wheelchair athletes.
All students were given the opportunity to
participate in a game of wheelchair basketball.
This allowed students to gain valuable insight into
how participation in sport is different and yet
achievable for people with disabilities.

achievement of the goals was undertaken and
many areas of success in this program were
identified.

Professional learning
Staff
Professional learning in 2013 continued to focus

including literacy, numeracy and student
engagement.
Professional learning opportunities included a key
focus on developing staff understanding of and
the capacity to effectively implement the
National Curriculum in English through the NSW

variety of activities, including collaboration with
colleagues from local small schools, courses led
by district support staff and online training.
Professional learning also incorporated the
updating of mandatory training for all staff,
including CPR, emergency care, anaphylaxis, child
protection and code of conduct.
Coming to school every day is a pleasure. The
children are wonderful to work with and willing
to learn. The staff is a team that is all committed
to providing the best possible education for the
students in our care. Fingal is a warm and
generous community who work with the school
to achieve the best for our students.

about how literacy and numeracy is taught at
FHPS.
In 2013, the school sought the opinions of
parents, students and teachers about the school.
A sample of the responses is presented below.
Parents
The teachers are fantastic, they really care for our
kids and go out of their way to give them lots of
opportunities they may not get in other schools.
Future directions
All four of my children have had a great platform
to commence their secondary education.
Parent Guides to the New Syllabuses will be
distributed to parents to give them an overview
of the learning that will occur in English and
Maths as the new syllabuses are implemented in
the next two years.
Students
I like Fingal School because the teachers are very
nice, the lessons are fun and the kids are friendly
and great to play with.
Parent workshops will be planned and delivered
during 2014 to give parents an overview of a
literacy and a numeracy session in each of the
10
classrooms. Parents will then be invited to
observe a literacy and numeracy session to see
teaching and learning in action.
