Mr Hawker's Learning Message
Growth Mindset
Successful people have a growth mindset. They believe that intelligence or being clever comes with hard work. At Camden Public School we want all our students to have a growth mindset. Our brain is like a muscle and when we exercise it gets stronger, which means we get smarter. To exercise our brain we have to challenge ourselves, work hard, persist in the face of setback and learn from feedback from our peers, parents and teachers.

Two Minutes With Some Students
We asked 3 questions to 4 students from each stage, Ella-K/1P, Hannah-2/6W, Ryan-4M and Elias-5/6L.
If you could have a superpower for one day, what would it be and why?
Ella wanted to fly so she could fly to her brother. Ryan wanted super strength so he could lift heavy things. Hannah wanted to fly so she could touch the clouds and Elias wanted to have a force that allowed him to control different things.
What is your favourite subject in school and why?
Ella likes art because she loves to draw. Hannah likes maths because she likes to solve the questions. Elias likes P.E. because he likes to run around and to stay fit at the same time and Ryan likes maths because it is fun and challenging.
Do you have any pets and if you do what are their names?
Elias has a dog named Tilly and he has a guinea pig named Lou Lou. Ella has a dog named Chloe. Ryan has a dog named Roxy and Hannah is getting guinea pigs and naming them Nibbles and Nubbles.

Safety First
Bike Safety
by Cameron & Lleyton
Before riding a bike, always check that your helmet fits correctly by placing 2 fingers on your forehead between your eyes and your helmet. If there’s not a two finger space, your helmet is too high or low and you must adjust your helmet just to top of your fingers.
Remember this: No helmet = No riding your bike.
