Week 8 Term 4 - The Big One...


2 blessed to be stressed

Good evening all,

It was only this morning, that I realised what a big ask it was on you all to get the students dropped off at the church. I realised this when I was in the Church at 8.50am with Mrs Sherborne, Mrs Meyer, Mr T and my husband, working so flexibly around my schedule to ensure that this very important practise got done. I am an incredibly lucky lady to have such supportive people around me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, especially if you had to rearrange your schedule this morning.


The rehearsal went well and I am so excited for when it all comes together on Friday, as it should be such a great night.


This bunch just keeps on blowing me away...how amazing were they at Friday night's musical! So many students pushing their limits and playing their individual parts just superbly. Earlier on Friday, we celebrated 3 incredible award winners: Kobe for his Musical efforts, Allira for teaching us all how to be resilient and a darn good person and then Banjo for showing the value of excellence in all that he does!

Congratulations guys!


IMPORTANT REMINDERS - WEEK 8

GRADUATION

The mass will commence this Friday 8th December at Our Lady of the Southern Cross at 5.30pm. It is expected to run for approximately 1hour and 15mins, returning to school for dinner at around 7pm. The students are to wear formal attire ('Sunday best') to this event. Can you please ensure you arrive 10 mins before the start, so you can find your spot and your child can settle. Please contact me if you have any further questions about the Mass.


BUSY BEE

This Wednesday we will be heading to the church again at 10.45am for our final rehearsal, followed by a Busy Bee in the afternoon. The students will eat their recess before we head to the church and then eat lunch at the church, in between the rehearsal and tidy up.

We have six adult helpers on the day, who will take small groups of 4/5 to complete small tasks such as weeding/gardening, window cleaning, dusting, vacumming, wiping pews, rubbish collecting, etc. It is such a great way for the students to give back to the community through some service learning.

We ask that the students wear their Sports uniform on the day (TEAL POLO NOT LEAVERS SHIRT), bring gardening gloves and any other gardening tools that may be helpful. Please make sure they have packed a full water bottle and substantial lunch on the day.

We will be leaving the church at 2.30pm, to ensure we return to school before 3pm.


ST VINNIES DONATIONS

A reminder that we are collecting christmas food and decorative items...if you can please have them in by the end of Week 8, we would be very appreciative!


CHRISTMAS CONCERT 

Bitmoji ImageThe Christmas Concert is taking place next Tuesday 8th December. It commences at 5:30pm, so please ensure that your child is here at 5:15pm. Your child will be  required to attend their classroom by 5:15pm and will walk down as a class, while you can find a nice spot on the hill. As mentioned in our last school newsletter, the students have been asked to wear Christmas colours to the upcoming concert on Tue 8th December. Can I ask that the Year 6’s dress in their Leaver's t-shirt with christmas trimmings, such as hats, antlers, earrings, tinsel, etc. for the night, but more information will be coming from Mrs. Horrocks and Mrs Sherborne soon.















EXCURSION PERMISSION SLIP

Today the students brought home a note and permission slip for the Excursion next Wednesday. Can you please ensure these are completed and returned to school by the end of the week.



Sorry it was a bit of a boring blog this week...saving all my pizzazz for the Graduation Speech on Friday night:)

Enjoy the rest of the week everyone,

Happy Holidays!

Good morning, We hope you are enjoying the beautiful start to the holidays. Whilst our end to the term was quite intense, we hope that the weeks of home schooling weren't too stressful on you all. I was so proud at how quickly the students adapted to the new situation and then produced incredible pieces of work.  I am currently working through all the marking: Narratives, Basil Presentations and Maths tests but from what I've seen so far there are some very pleasing results. All Maths tests completed and uploaded have been marked and your child's results can be found where they saved their test in OneNote. The results for the other two tasks will be saved in OneNote under 'Assessment Results' in the coming week for your child to view. Today you will receive an email with your child's Interim Report attached. Keep an eye out for this! With both Ali and I being at home working and educating our own children, we truly appreciate the amount of time and

Hello from Imogen & Tilly - Week 5 Term 2

Kaya, This blog has been expertly created by Imogen King and Tilly Hall, and I am sure you will agree that they have done a wonderful job.  Hope you all had a nice refreshing weekend with your friends and family! As the weather begins to get colder, we are reaching the end of Djeran and moving towards the wintery season of Makuru.  Good news...you’ll be starting to see less of the different types of snails ( probably eating your veggies in your garden!😂 ) and Shelducks paddling in lakes and pools of water... Interesting Fact!! If a Shelduck has a white ring around its eye, it’s a female (like the one below). CLASS FUN FACT: Did you know Sophie had a guinea pig with one ear because her chook pecked it off!!! ⭐⭐ Star Citizen Award ⭐⭐ Well done to Lexi Lepidi for receiving our 6R Star Citizen for Appreciation for Term 2. What an asset to the classroom she's become! We are always delighted by the maturity shesuses to show appreciation to those around her. You are consistently the fi

Good Evening All, It is with great sadness I say that this will be my final blog post for the year. I can not describe how incredibly proud of students and the leaders this group has become. They have worked hard, played hard and lead hard...what more could I have asked for! Thank you for the amazing support and care you have shown me throughout the year. The constant check-ins, the quick response to my endless requests and willingness to help in anyway has been both noted and appreciated throughout the year. Many thanks to our parent reps for making my job easy and communicating anything that needed to be done, I am so grateful. Whilst I don't think I deserve it, I am touched to have received a very generous voucher to Blue Manna from the class and a number of thoughtful gifts from other families. I am a softie when it comes to beautiful handwritten messages and it's the heartfelt cards that are playing on my emotional heartstrings, making me a blubbering mess (I don't thi
