Dear Parents,

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.  Psalm 118:1

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Week 7! As we head into this week, I just wanted to share a little bit about what Mr Steven encouraged the Year 3-5 students with, in our worship session this morning. It was a great message about the power of the tongue, that I’m sure we can all learn from. Our words that we use can have such an incredible impact and within moments, we can switch from using them for praise to using them for trash (James 3:9). Our students listened beautifully and were encouraged to imagine little ‘Buckingham Palace guards’ placed next to their mouths to help guard what is allowed out (Psalm 141:3).

Here are a few important dates coming up over the next week. Please also continue to check your class blog.

Friday 27 November

Kindy Assembly at ELC

Year 6 bike excursion to Sorrento Beach

Assembly for Years 5 & 6 to farewell 2020 Semester 2 House Captains and announce those for Semester 1 2021.

Saturday 28 November

Monday 30 November

It has come to our attention that an item on the Resource list, namely Book Covers – Exercise 9 x 7  Pkt 5, are too small and should be A4 book covers.  If you placed your order with Campion before Friday 6 November, please bring the unopened small book covers to your class teacher on the first day back in 2021 and we will swap these for the correct size.  If you ordered after Friday 6 November, you will have received the correct size.

Thank you for your understanding

Dear Parents,

We have a quiet start with some fun packed days towards the end of the week. On Thursday 19 November, 3-6 are holding a Market Day, so for those students, feel free to bring along some spare change to buy some hand-made items, with all proceeds going to charities. Then on Friday 20 November, there are several events taking place across the Primary school. At the ELC, there is a special Worship for Kindy and Pre Primary students. The Harley Davidson motorbikes are returning this year to collect all the gifts that have been donated for children in foster care this Christmas. Some of our Year 5-6 students will be attending NIPSSA Cricket, whilst all the Year 6 students will be attending the Lightning Carnival, Duncraig v Carramar. Next week, Monday 23 November, there will be a Worship Gathering for Years 3 and 5 and the Primary Choral Festival.

Please read carefully through this Primary blog, and your class blog notices for upcoming events for the rest of the term.

PARKING

We would like to remind parents of the need to consider others and the safety of the children when driving and parking around the school.

The Staff parking bays are not to be used for student drop off/pick up. Please use the parent car parks or Kiss and Drive facility for this purpose.

The Kiss and Drive facility is supervised and offers a very smooth pick-up option after school. Parents are asked to consider using this facility rather than parking.

Calling for School Banking volunteers – we need your help!

Our current School Banking Coordinators are moving on after years of service to our school community, and to keep this program running we need your help.

The program requires at least two new volunteer School Banking Coordinators to facilitate the banking and distribution of School Banking rewards.

It’s easy – and it only takes a small amount of your time one day a week. We can show you the ropes to get you going, and Commonwealth Bank provides support via a helpdesk and dedicated reps.

Your help with the program will greatly benefit students as they develop vital saving skills and also help our school with fundraising. It is also a rewarding and interactive way to be an active member of the school community.

If you are interested in volunteering for this great program, please visit us during school banking in the primary village (every Thursday from 8am to 9am) or contact Kirsty Pearce on 0404 967 002.
