Principal's Message
Dear Families
Welcome to Term 2. Last Friday a number of our students and staff represented our school at the Trafalgar ANZAC day march. Thank you to the families who supported this important community event. Chaise and Harry laid a wreath at the cenotaph on our behalf.
The Easter Story
On the last day of term 1 we gathered in our church to remember The Easter Story. We participated in a meaningful and reflective way. The senior students acted out the Stations of the Cross. We were all so proud of their presentation, they truly are great leaders. Thank you Mrs Wendy Oates, Mrs MG. and Gr 5 & 6. Here are some photos from their presentation...
Easter Prayer
Alleluia! Alleluia!
You are here, Lord.
You have risen from the dead.
We thank you for the sacrifice you made for us-
for your suffering and death on the cross,
so that we may have eternal life.
May we, your Easter people, carry the joy of the Resurrection
within us wherever we go.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
New Student Leaders
Chaise Hicks and Maycee Shankar are our new Gr 6 Student Leaders. We congratulate Chaise and Maycee and look forward to their leadership in the coming weeks.
Mother's Day Celebrations
We have a special celebration planned for our Mums on Friday May 9th. Please see information on the below flyer. We hope you can join us.
SRC Surveys
Each year we engage in School Improvement Surveys. We randomly select 20 families to complete the survey and we use this data to direct our school priorities in School Improvement. Emails will be sent directly to the families to access the survey. Thank you in anticipation of completing the survey, we are very interested in your feedback. The closing date of the survey is Monday May 12th.
We strongly encourage students NOT to bring these devices to school. The rules around mobile phones have changed slightly, that is, from now on, if your child needs to bring a mobile phone to school then it must be handed in at the office on their way into school and then picked up at the end of the day. It is your child's responsibility to remember to collect their mobile phone.
Student smartwatches are ONLY to be used for telling the time during school hours. Smartwatches must have ‘school mode’ enabled which limits the smartwatch to telling the time with no other functionality. Student smartwatches that are not able to be restricted to telling the time only, with no other functionality, must be handed in to the office, at the beginning of the school day and collected at the end of the school day. It is my opinion that primary school students do not need a smart watch, it is much better to teach them to tell the time using an analogue clock.
