Lovely ANZAC Day Service
We would like to thank all families who attended our ANZAC DAY Service last week. It was a special time given to reflect and honor those who have served (as well as those who still serve) our country, making it possible for us to enjoy the freedom we have. Lest we forget.

Library Helpers Needed
Mother’s Day Stall
As mentioned last week, our Mother’s Day Stall is scheduled to take place next week. All Year 1 to Yr6 teachers and learning assistants will be accompanying students to the Primary Forum between 8:30AM and 9:30AM to purchase a gift for their mum (please refer to flyer for specific dates and times students will be attending). Our Pre-Kindy, Kindy and Pre-Primary students have been allocated specific dates and times to come accompanied by a parent, but we will need to confirm with you (no later than Monday) if this will still be a possibility (following our Premier’s announcement in relation to restrictions moving forward).
Children’s University
I hope students were able to complete some learning opportunities over the holiday, either through the events run by ECU or by exploring the online portal. There was a great ANZAC day learning opportunity posted as part of the April challenge that allowed students to be creative in how they presented their learning. I am excited to see what May’s challenge will be.
I am encouraging students to be responsible for their own learning by exploring the online portal, keeping their own log in details, a portfolio of their learning and keeping their passports in a safe place. If however, you would prefer for me to keep their passports, as this is the official record of their learning, I am able to do so.
The next passport signing session will be in the library at lunch time this Thursday 29 April. They can bring me any work they have completed and I will also review any submissions they have made on the online portal at this time. I also have a list of hours accrued during Term 1 through the after school clubs offered by SSS that can contribute towards their graduation. It is important students bring their passports to this session. I can’t wait to hear their stories.
