Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
Crazy Sock Day
This Friday 16 August we will be having a crazy sock day. For the privilege of wearing crazy socks, we are asking the children to contribute a gold coin donation as a way of fundraising for Marleigh Fisher.
Athletics Carnival
Thank you to Geoff Ryan for his organisation of the Athletics carnival on Tuesday. It certainly was better weather than Friday! Thanks also to the parents/carers who assisted, including Paula Papandrea and her wonderful helpers for providing canteen services.
Global Schools and Book Week
Penny Vanzwol launched this wonderful initiative at module prayer on Friday 2 August. It’s great to see families and individual children buying a book to support those less fortunate. If you think about it, $4.50 is a cup of coffee. If every family gave $5.00, it would make a huge difference.
Out of Hours School Care
As you would be aware, we are currently undergoing a tender process for our OHSC provider. Thank you to those parents who filled in our survey, we would love to hear from any parents who use the service and would like to have a chat to the sub-committee. Please feel free to contact the front office and we will put you in touch with the team.
Learning Assets
Our next learning asset “I am a Collaborator” is key to working successfully with others, we live in a world where developing dynamic relationships is integral to future success. Effective collaborators are empathetic, compassionate, reliable team workers who can solve problems by being productive.
Anyone who’s played team sports or worked on a project with others can identify that being a collaborator is important. Teaching your child to share, to lose graciously or to give something special to someone else are valuable lessons. If you have a little person in your house who wants to tell everyone else what to do and get things organised, maybe they are just testing their collaborative skills.
Many blessings and thank you for your continued support
Judy Egan
Acting Principal
