Week 4 Term 2

Good afternoon parents,


I hope you had a fun filled weekend. Thank you to those who were able to attend the Mass on Saturday night, it was lovely to see the church filled with such reverence. 

Congratulations to Cielo who received the merit certificate for last week, her commitment and focus is soaring, being an outstanding role model for others to follow.

Our second group of pen licenses went out on Thursday. We congratulate Imogen, Rose, Lily, Rhavi, Jaz, Skyla, Georgia, Priya, Holly and Cielo. It is such a pleasure to see that the children are being mature with this new responsibility and taking great pride in their work. I am looking forward to presenting more on Thursday as there a couple of children I have spoken to and I can see they are trying hard. 

Have you had your child show you their OneNote as yet? The students are using this program weekly in class. One of the things we want them to show you is there Diary page each week, please ask to see it. This way you will know what they need to do and what is coming up!


HOMEWORK - WEEK 4
Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. If you can please support your child to complete all parts of their homework each week. This helps with their personal organisation reduces anxiety of getting in trouble when it is not done.

2. Timetables Review 3, 4, 6, 7, 8's - The students are to practice at least 4 times throughout the week at home. We have planned to test this on Thursday in our Math's lesson. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE PRACTICING!

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 13, p 26 & 27. This will be marked on Friday morning so please make sure your child brings their homework books on this day.

Good afternoon parents, I hope you are well and the week is flying by, getting us a closer to the weekend ahead! I am writing to you to clarify the recent news the children received about Sally the Sloth in class, as I know there has been a lot of excitement around this.  As part of the Talk4Write PD I completed before school started this term, I was taught a new concept of when introducing a new writing genre, try to create a 'hook' to get the students really excited, engaged and wanting to learn more about the subject. At the start of this Term we are focusing on Persuasive writing, therefore the 'hook' I created was that Sally the sloth is apart of a breeding program at the Perth Zoo and I had made an application to have the chance to babysit Sally for a week.

Week 8 Term 2

Good afternoon parents, I can not begin to explain how proud I was of all the students yesterday at the First Eucharist mass. They acted with great reverence and respect, participating so well in every part of the mass.  A tear did well in my eye when I saw the students reciting the prayers and completing the actions at the appropriate times. We thank you for the support and guidance you have given throughout the preparation of the sacrament. All of the students have taken home today their poster, banner, prayer card and cross as little mementos for you to keep and reflect on in time to come. Congratulations to Lucas, Taylah and Gabriel on receiving a Merit award at Friday's assembly, they are working hard to achieve their best . It has been a very busy few weeks and we have some important events coming up, please see the Reminders section below. REMINDERS - WEEK 8 World Refugee Lunch Day  - is being held this Wednesday 20th June, your child will need to bring a cont
