Hi parents,

I wish all mothers a Happy Mother’s Day for yesterday. I hope your family spoilt you before the weather arrived. The students and myself are very glad that the NAPLAN week is finally behind us.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
A reminder to all the children who a receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation to hand in the form that includes when and where they were baptised (please remember to include the Parish and suburb). It was also discussed that $10 should be handed to me ASAP. This covers the cost of certificates and pins etc… Thank you in advance.

FRIENDOLOGY 101
The Year 3 students have begun their Friendology program and are enjoying learning about creating healthy relationships. A requirement of the program, is that the children find a quiet spot and reflect on the things that they are grateful for. This could be done daily or weekly and shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Term 2 - Week 3

Hi parents,

NAPLAN week is finally upon us. Rather than make a big deal about it with the kids, home learning tasks will continue as normal. Please note, that a LSCWC is now required each night for their PLD spelling. Could you make sure that your child has checked their spelling with a tick, if it is correct, or a line under the part of the word that they have spelt incorrectly. The LSCWC should be completed in their thin spelling pad.
