Dear parents and carers,

Last Friday morning many people enjoyed the Father’s Day Breakfast. Thank you to the P & F for organising this event. We trust that everyone enjoyed father’s day with their families.

REC/Priests/Principal last Friday both Mrs King and I met with other Religious Education Coordinators and principals from across the Archdiocese to review 2019 and begin the planning processes for 2020. It was excellent to work with colleagues to see and hear how various programs are implemented at different schools across the Archdiocese.

Maths – Mrs Heath is attending a maths day today in Young. This is another opportunity for us to share with our neighbouring schools about how our maths classes are working during 2019.

This week has seen us working more so on class based activities.

K/1 cooked up a storm and shared the results with us all – the zucchini slice was delicious.

2/3/4 have been writing alternative blurbs for their favourite stories – it seems that there a raft of books that we should all consider reading!

5/6 have continued looking at production as they work towards their forth-coming excursion.

This week we have also spoken about choosing not to be the person who teases or “stirs the pot” in order to cause hurt to someone else for fun. It can be tempting to do this; however, a better way to connect might be to invite the person having a difficult time to join your game, seeing this person in another light often creates new friendships.

We have also been hosting staff from CE who have been working with us across a variety of activities relating to the nationally consistent collection of data.

We have continued watching our ovals’ transformation this week. The new turf is coming along well. We are still in a waiting phase as the turf establishes itself. We are very much looking forward to being able to use this renovated play space before the end of term.

Changes to routine - Thank you to those families who are keeping us informed when children are absent from school, or there are changes to the regular routine.

Please be aware you should be using the Skoolbag option or providing us with a note, so that our record keeping is accurate.

Good Luck – to our public speaking team – Emma, Genevieve and Hamish. The Western Region public speaking competition will take place at Sacred Heart School in Cootamundra on Monday.

Sincerely,
