MacGregor State School Newsletter 2024 Edition 3
From the Principal
Dear parents & caregivers,
Welcome to the second-half of term 1!
Its great to be back in the chair after a short break of long-service-leave to spend time with my family. Many thanks to Mrs Keating and the rest of the Executive Leadership Team for leading the school during my absence last week.
MacGregor State School Review 2024
MacGregor State School will be reviewed once again in Term 2 from 30th April – 3rd May. The last school review at MacGregor took place in 2020.
Every Queensland state school undergoes a review at least once every 4 years. The reviews play an important part in how the department supports school improvement. They provide schools with quality feedback, tailored to their context and needs. Principals use the review findings to work with their school community and school supervisor to develop clear actions to move the school forward.
Review process
Reviews are conducted by experienced educators trained in the use of the School Improvement Tool, a nationally-recognised framework for reviewing teaching and learning practices. Due to the size of our school, the review will spread over four days and will involve a Senior Reviewer, two Peer-Reviewers (experienced Principals for other schools) and a trained external reviewer who is not employed by the Department.
Reviewers look closely at each school’s performance data and speak with a wide range of staff, students, parents and community members to get an accurate picture of the school. Unlike many other review systems, schools aren’t ranked or given a performance rating. Instead, the school is given a comprehensive report for consideration. The report details key findings and recommended improvement strategies to maximise student outcomes. The school publishes the executive summary or full report on its website. Principals share this information with their staff and school community to help shape the school’s strategic direction.
Parent and community participation Feedback from parents and the community is an important part of school reviews, with everyone encouraged to have their say. More information For more information about school reviews, please visit the School Reviews website at www.schoolreviews.education.qld.gov.au, or contact SRR on (07) 3035 2217 or email reviews@qed.qld.gov.au.
Next Week
Speaking of reviews and reviewers…
All four Deputy Principals will be partaking in professional development on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th next week in the review process using the new School Improvement Tool (SIT) in preparation for our review in Term 2.
I have been invited to be a part of the review team at Annandale SS in Townsville next week from Tuesday 5th to Thursday 7th. Regular participation in School Reviews is an important part of my professional development as an experienced senior principal and I endeavour to do at least one review of another school per term.
On Tuesday 5th when both myself and the deputies are absent from school, the Officer-in-Charge will be Mr Peter Holloway HOD/ICT supported by Jess Kanowski HOSES and Megan Brodie GO. Deputy Principal Diana Ghusn will be OIC from Wednesday-Thursday.
Yours in Equity & Excellence,
Mr. Lee Gerchow
Principal

Prep and Year One
Welcome to Week 6!
The Power of Reading Aloud
Recently, I have come across the article, written by Darren Halim, about the forgotten power of reading aloud to children. The article highlights the power reading aloud has on children’s creativity, literacy, relationships and overall learning development.
The article states that the benefits of reading aloud have been overwhelmingly supported by research (Anderson et al., 2003; Isik, 2016; Phillips, 2000; Shickedanz & Collins, 2012; Suggate et al., 2013) and social scientists now consider read-aloud time as one of the most important factors in providing children with a positive start to their lives (Gurdon, 2019).
I would like to highlight and share some key points with you.
Reading books aloud vs visual media
- Internet and technology surely have changed the way we operate today. Although the use of visual media can enhance the learning gained from reading books aloud, research suggests that these two forms of learning do not stimulate the child’s brain in the same way (Gurdon, 2019).
- Watching movies and engaging in screen time tends to be more of a solitary activity, while reading aloud is usually a group activity or a valuable time with a special person. This shared enjoyment creates natural space for imaginative interaction and engagement with others (Suggate et al., 2013).
- Screen time can also leave children feeling overstimulated and unsure of where to direct their surplus energy. Listening to a story can settle their minds and bodies, helping their brains engage in deep and sustained attention (Gurdon, 2019).
- Studies have shown that brain activity in children changes according to the type of learning experience they are engaging in. A higher number of neurons fire in children’s brains when they are listening to a story, compared to when they are watching a movie or engaging in screen time (Gurdon, 2019).
Brain development
- Listening to stories, especially while looking at pictures, stimulates children’s deep brain networks and fosters their optimal cognitive development (Gurdon, 2019). When children have stories read to them on a regular basis, they are more likely to grow into adults who enjoy strong relationships and have a sharper focus, greater emotional resilience and better self-mastery (Gurdon, 2019; Shickedanz & Collins, 2012).
- Children who are read aloud to more often and who have access to a range of books show higher levels of receptiveness as well as the ability to understand literacy and language (Phillips, 2000). They also display higher creativity and imaginative capability, as they can visualise mental images (Gurdon, 2019). This is important during early childhood, as a child’s brain has high levels of plasticity from birth to the age of eight years, and a significant amount of growth and development occurs during this phase (Gurdon, 2019).
- Gurdon (2019) explains that the companionable aspect of shared reading fosters learning dispositions such as empathy and curiosity. Reading aloud is a gateway to a diverse range of vocabulary development and a pathway to early reading skills (Suggate et al., 2013).
The points above highlight the importance of reading aloud to our children both at home and school. It is wonderful to see that our staff stay connected with current research and continue to implement practices that are age-appropriate and proven to support the development of well-rounded learners.
Below are some images of our young learners enjoying regular story time in class.
Prep B learners were very excited about sharing their learning with peers at the assembly this week. Prior to the assembly, they went on a Bear Hunt around the school grounds and participated in activities that promoted the use of position language such as over, under, through, in front of, behind, on top of and next to, in real like situations. They have also been busy learning about repeating patterns, and asking, collecting and recording data. Through collage, craft and painting, Prep B explored different types of weather and the clothes they could wear to stay cool, dry or warm.
1B learners were learning about how to retell a story, engaging with the text - The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They also prepared for their puppet show “The Three Little Pig” by designing, creating and painting the backgrounds and making their own puppets. They had fun with calligraphy writing to celebrate The Lunar Year
Welcome back, Mr Liam McDonnell!
We are really excited to welcome Mr McDonnell back to MacGregor State School effective this week.
Mr McDonnell has been recovering from an injury and is now returning to work with a modified timetable to support his gradual return to normal teaching duties. He will resume working with students and staff in the early years.
Liam visited our Prep classrooms yesterday to introduce himself to students and have already commenced his support today.
Year Two and Three
Students have been busy engaging with their learning in the year 2 and 3 classes.
YEAR 2
In year 2 students have been learning about narrative story writing and have been reading Possum Magic by Mem Fox. Students from 2G with Ms Fox even got to discover what a real lamington tastes like. As you can see from the photo, lots an lots of smiling happy faces.
Year 2 classes have also been looking at life cycles and watching as the caterpillars they have in their rooms, have grown and changed into chrysalis with the first of the butterflies being released this week.
Toohey Forest Excursion
Year 2 classes have also been looking at life cycles and watching as the caterpillars they have in their rooms, have grown and changed into chrysalis with the first of the butterflies being released this week.
Year 2 students will also be attending the Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre next week for their excursion. This is an exciting time for the students, leaving the school to participate in some hands on learning. A reminder that students can wear their sport uniform for this excursion. They are also encouraged to bring along a NO RUBBISH morning tea and lunch on this day to help protect the environment.

YEAR 3
Over the last week the Year 3 students have participated in the NAPLAN practice tests. This is a teaching moment for the teachers to ensure that the students know how to log in, access the testing site and navigate their way through the site. We had extra staff on hand as each class participated, to ensure that we could provide the support required. Special thanks to the Year 3 teachers for your patience and dedication to ensuring the students were able to access the practice test.
Year Four and Five
As we have entered the second half of Term 1, it has been pleasing to see the number of students who are working really hard during their classroom lessons.
There has been a significant reduction in the number of students being recorded for IT issues which I thank the parents for their support on this. This last fortnight has seen a range of exciting activities .
The first round of inter/intra sport started on Friday. This was especially exciting for our Year 4 students who are participating for the first time. Unfortunately, from time to time we do have issues with buses returning late but as and when we can, we will get communication to you with time frames.
As we approach the end of the term we have many events coming up, including Music camp. Please keep checking the Facebook page for regular updates on what is happening each week.
Year 4 had their incursion of ‘The Twits’ to support their curriculum for Term 1 English unit. Shake and Stir productions presented a compact version of The Twits based on the original story to the students bringing the story to real life.
Feedback from the audience:
Sreyas : The show was incredible! I really enjoyed how the actor/actresses changed their voice depending on the characters. The acting was exceptional. I really enjoyed the performance and thanks to Shake and Stir for performing at MacGregor State School!
Yvie: The Twits show was amazing. They made it look like it was real. I loved it!
Hasan : I give the play 5 stars , because although it was disgusting , it was funny and Brebdon was my favourite!
Ella T. : Thank you for coming to MacGregor State School. It was the best show I’ve ever watched thank you #Shake and Stir# I loved the show!
On Monday, Year 5 participated in ‘See the light’ workshop for their Term 1 science unit. During the incursion, the students moved around 4 different learning stations covering concepts such as light absorption and reflection, how mirrors can change the direction of light and shadows.
Firebirds visit:
On Tuesday 4 members of the Queensland Firebirds Netball team came and did a skills and Q&A session with our Senior and Junior Netball teams.
Year Six
Welcome to Week 6 of Term 1 at MacGregor State School.
Last week, Ms Yip and I had the pleasure of chaperoning our 28 school captains to Chandler for a full day of GRIP Student Leadership learning.
This is always an energetic day with lots to take in but also lots of take-away messages that support the growth and confidence of our young leaders.
Three focus areas for our student leaders in 2024 will be:
- Remembering that stepping forward is not about me, it is about making the school the best it can be
- How can we step forward and improve something that needs attention at our school?
- How can we step forward and impact something outside of our school?
We look forward to sharing with you how our captains can give to their school whilst expecting anything in return and, creating a legacy for both within and beyond the school.
Paula Davoren Bursary
In conjunction with MacGregor State High School and the Lion’s Club of Brisbane (MacGregor), one student in Year 6 will be the recipient of the Paula Davoren Bursary. Please visit our schools website to learn more about the application process – the bursary is open to any student who will be enrolling at MacGregor State High School for Year 7 in 2025. We will share more about this opportunity in future communication including opening dates for applications.

MacGregor State School Uniform Reminders
We have noticed an increase in costume jewellery being worn to school including novelty earrings, bangles and necklaces. If earrings are being worn, they are to be a small stud-type to reduce the likelihood of accidental injury during play. Unless culturally relevant, please support your child to make positive choices in line with our expectations for uniform and presentation at MacGregor State School. Thank you for your support.
H.O.D. Update
It is hard to believe we are over halfway through the term. It is exciting to see the varied learning experiences taking place in our classrooms.
Incursions and excursions are valuable experiences that support the curriculum requirements in many of our Learning Areas.
Two incursions have occurred over the past weeks. Year 4 had a live show of The Twits and Year 5 had a Science workshop on Light. Both of these activities gave the students the opportunity to learn in different ways, supporting the teaching and learning of their current units. Year 2 will have an opportunity next week to gain hands-on learning experiences with their visit to Toohey Forest.
Our next Parent Learning Forum is scheduled for next week, Tuesday 5th March. We have had to make a change to the schedule previously shared.
This workshop will be on iPads in Prep to Year 2 and will be presented by Mr Peter Holloway, our Head of Department ICT.
Please see the information below and scan the QR code to RSVP. This will ensure we have enough devices on hand for people to access during the workshop.
Learning Engagement Team Update
Boccia for Everyone!
This week saw the commencement of Intra and Inter school sport rounds. For Semester One a team of Macgregor State School students will be playing Boccia rounds with our neighbouring special schools. Sunnybank Special School, Calamvale Special School and Logan City Special School.
Boccia is an all-inclusive, sport that Macgregor is promoting in order to drive up the profile of pathways for multiclass athletes. Students of all abilities can play along side one another with minor adjustments such as ramps and one on one support.
We are very fortunate to have representatives from the Sporting Wheelies Disabled Association that are coming in to coach us and adjudicate our games. Please see the link below to check out some of the amazing inclusive activities they provide.

What can you do to support your child?
Students are not expected to study for NAPLAN. You can support your child by reassuring them that NAPLAN is a part of their school program and reminding them to simply do their best. Some explanation of NAPLAN is useful to help students understand and be comfortable with the format of the tests; however, it is not necessary for parents/carers to do this. Teachers will ensure students are familiar with the types of questions in the tests and will provide appropriate support and guidance.
What if my child is absent from school on NAPLAN test days?
Where possible, schools may arrange for individual students who are absent at the time of testing to complete missed tests at another time during the school’s test schedule. We have two days available for catch up tests to be administered as indicated above.
What if I wish to withdraw my child from participating in NAPLAN?
Withdrawals are intended to address issues such as religious beliefs and philosophical objections to testing. Participation by all students is expected; however, in certain circumstances students may be withdrawn from the testing program by their parent/carer. Ultimately, this is a decision for parents/carers but is best done in collaboration with the school. A formal application must be received by the school prior to the testing. Please contact one of the Deputy Principals if you would like to do this.
Our Guidance Officer Megan Brodie has included in the Guidance Officer section of this email, some strategies to help your child deal with NAPLAN.
A reminder that it is just another school day!
Performing Arts
Performing arts groups are well underway for this year. It is great being able to pop in and join in the fun of each rehearsal.
VOCAL HARMONY
Students in Vocal Harmony had their rehearsal before school with Miss McIntyre and were set a challenge to sing the piece they had been rehearsing in Canon. This is quite a challenging concept for students in Years 3 and 4, however they tackled this with determination and excitement and delivered a wonderful performance.
MACGREGOR STRINGS
MacGregor Strings also held their rehearsal this morning before school. The students are really focused on watching their Conductor Miss Hong and learning to play in unison. We look forward to watching thei group shine over the coming weeks and also watching them enahnce their skills at our upcoming Music camp.
MUSIC CAMP
Music Camp is fast approaching. We leave on Sunday 17th March and return on Wednesday 20th March. This is an exciting time for the students attending as they get to spend quality time with their Conductors developing and enhancing their playing skills. We also have a great time on camp, which allows us to build really strong team spirit.
A reminder that we will hold a performance on Wednesday 27th March, showcasing each of the groups who attended camp.
Sports Update
DISTRICT SPORT ALERT
Shout out to former students Zac (boys touch and boys netball) and Mya (girls AFL) who have been selected in district teams alongside some of our current students. Fantastic to see past students still challenging themselves in the sporting arena.
Met East Representatives
Congratulations to Louis and Laynie who have both been selected in the Met East Swimming team. Both these students will now prepare for the State Championships towards the end of term 1. Best of luck to both swimmers.
Well done to Isaac who competed at the Met East Trials. Isaac swam a PB in his event which is an amazing effort.
Mt Gravatt District Representatives
Recently we have had a number of students selected in the Mt Gravatt District Girls AFL team. Congratulations to Mila, Shiloh, Imogen and Bella who will now prepare with the team for the Met East trials at the end of the term.
Sport Absenteeism
Just a reminder to families that if your son/daughter is away from school as they are involved in a representative team (Mt Gravatt District, Met East Region or QLD) it is your responsibility to notify the school. This can be done via QParents or email but important that you inform us.
While we are aware that students are at these trials and wish them the best of luck, we don’t always have staff present in an official capacity. If we do have staff in attendance they have a number of other responsibilities that they need complete in their official capacity.
Inter school sport
How amazing was Friday afternoon. We had 29 teams go out and represent the school in inter school sport. It was great to hear their stories about the great time they had with their friends and the challenge of playing as a team against the other schools.
We look forward to hearing more stories from out students as the weeks progress.

Message from The Guidance Officer
NAPLAN is approaching and classroom teachers have prepared children for what the day will look like.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety can arise in children who are deep thinkers, strive for perfection, or have not yet learned to trust themselves and manage uncertainty. It's normal to feel some nerves before an exam, and a little stress can actually help children focus and perform better.
It’s a matter of not letting the anxious feeling take full control. Anxiety thrives on the unknown, and our classroom teachers have been amazing at preparing children for what the days will look like, with emphasis on effort rather than outcome.
How do I know if my child is anxious?
Your child may not be able to express, “I’m feeling anxious,” but they may talk about bodily feelings such as a sore tummy, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, poor sleep, dry mouth, blurred vision, headache, weak legs, and numb or tingly fingers.
Your child may express worries such as, "What if I don’t know an answer? What if I don’t finish on time? What if I get a score lower than my parents want?" There are many ‘what if’ worries in our anxious children.
What can you do if your child is feeling anxious about NAPLAN?
- Give time for your child to talk about their worries.
- List the facts versus thoughts
- Validate their feeling of anxiousness. “It’s okay to feel exactly as you do. We will get through this. There will be teachers there to support you on the day.”
- Talk about what the day will look like.
On the week of NAPLAN,
Maintain a regular routine:
- Ensure enough sleep – 10-12 hours per night. Good sleep helps effectively deal with the brain’s alarm system (amygdala – fear response).
- Enough Food- Ensure your child receives a balanced diet as it provides the essential fuel for their brain, akin to maintaining a car engine. Anxiety can heighten cognitive activity, making it crucial for the brain to receive a sufficient amount of nutrients.
- Allow downtime – Allowing children periods of downtime is crucial for stress reduction. It's essential to strike a balance between structured activities and unstructured free time based on the child's temperament and preferences.
- Limit screen time if the child is anxious – connection time with you is important to lower stress and anxiety.
Best calming strategy during test when feeling anxious?
To calm anxious feelings, a breathing technique is going to be your child’s best friend during the assessment. Practice this at home when calm so that when they are anxious, they know what to do.
What can you do as a parent?
As parents, our foremost concern is the well-being and success of our children. It is crucial to avoid placing undue pressure on them, especially in the context of NAPLAN assessment. Children are highly perceptive and often mirror the energy around them, absorbing the emotions of their parents.
It is essential, therefore, to maintain a sense of calm each morning. By doing so, we create an environment where our children can draw from our composed demeanour rather than being influenced by any anxiety we may be experiencing.
SAVE THE DATE
Thursday, 21st March is Harmony Day.
What is Harmony Day?
Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone. Apart from English, the most common languages spoken in Australia are Mandarin, Arabic, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Italian, Greek, Tagalog/Filipino, Hindi, Spanish, and Punjabi.
What to wear:
Children are to wear the colour orange.
What are we doing at MacGregor State School to celebrate?
From 8 am, we will be hosting a community event. More information will come closer to the date.
Please reach out if you have any questions 😊
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello from our Chappy Mr T.
Hello families of MacG.
We are already in Week 6 and more than half way through the Term. Hope you are having a good week.
I'm the school chaplain at Macgregor High School as well on Mon and Tues. This week at the High School, i had a nostalgic moment. There were Class of 1990 high school photos placed on a table to be archived later. As I was reading through the names, looking at the students (and checking out the Whitney Houston and Kylie Minogue hairstyles), the names brought memories of my primary school classmates some 40 years ago!
The names and faces stayed with me for the rest of the day. It made me think that as parents, we can help our children to create lasting memories. We can do the small boring things to the big exciting events like taking them to their first concert or watch a major sporting event, attend their weekly school or club sport games, watch them in dance classes; experience the ups and downs life has to offer and the journey it takes us.
