Dear Families,

Well done to our swimmers who represented our school so well at the NIJSSA Carnival. Although I was unable to attend, I heard that everyone swam well and as always did our school proud.

Today Emily and Tay shaved their heads for a cure. It is really great to see our children living out the charism of our school, and as Mary MacKillop says; “Never see a need without doing something about it.”

I have been informed that in Week 8 our fort should be repaired. I expect that the existing fort will be able to be reopened for play in Week 9. It will still be some time before the burnt section is rebuilt as we need to wait on parts from interstate.

We will be commencing the NAPLAN Practice Tests in Week 8. The purpose of this is to help your children understand the structures of NAPLAN. NAPLAN is an important assessment that we as a school use to provide us with information about your child and our teaching program. If you have any questions about NAPLAN please see your child’s teacher.

This week’s Parent TV link is for Discipline without Damage.

God Bless,

Shayne Kidd
