Dear Parents,Your children are leading the way in drawing you all to Sacred Heart College Somerton Park for the 2017 annual Sports Day. It is a special day of friendly, but strong competition between the four Sports Houses, led by their captains pictured here. We wish the captains and their vice captains the best of luck on the day.For some of you the venue is new. Even for those who have been to Sacred Heart College oval many times, it will in 2017 look different. In place of the old grandstand there is a large and impressive new building which houses large basketball stadiums. There is room for all and as many of you know even on a warm day (forecast 32 degrees) the best shade is under the large and shady Moreton Bay Fig trees on the eastern side of the oval. Parents who prefer the western side may like to bring a large golf umbrella for extra shade. Please read very carefully the list of reminders below as your best guide to remembering what needs to be in place for Sunday:• The House March begins on the dot of 9:00am

so please be on time no later than 8:45am.• Uniform,completewithhair ribbon, and

sports shoes with socks pulled up.• Thesunwillbeshiningandsotheoft

repeated message about remembering hats, sunscreen and water will be important.

• May I ask that parents please do notbring food and drink to their daughters during the morning as the games and races are underway. There is a good lunch break at 11:40am for the Primary and at 12 noon for Secondary where lunch will be available for purchase.

Catholic Swimming Carnival MagillOn Thursday, 19 enthusiastic swimmers competed in the Catholic Swimming Carnival at the Magill pool.

The girls got off to a great start with Isabelle, Amelia, Molly and Hannah placing in the open medley relay. The girls had a fantastic time and supported each other throughout the day. We achieved some excellent individual results and finished 2nd overall out of 8 schools. St Dominic’s were presented with two age champion flags, winning both the Under 10 and under 11 age divisions.

The under 10 team consisted of Ella Copeland. Bree Copeland, Alyssa Tran and Isabella Le Cong and the under 11 age division was represented by Hannah Cameron, Isabelle Tran, Isabella B and Sarah O’Callaghan.

Well done to all of the girls who took part

[L-R] Isabelle Tran , Amelia McAvaney , Ella Wood, Ella Copeland. A special well done to Isabelle, who won Silver in the Relay. Here is what she had to say about the experience:

What an amazing experience!! It felt like a mini Olympics. It was such an awesome feeling to stand on the podium to receive my medal. It was so much fun and I hope I can do it again next year.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

SPORTS DAY: The girls are geared up and excited about Sports Day. Whether it is dancing their legs off in Junior Primary to ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’, participating in the Ball Games or being very vocal with the Year 5 Cheers; they all contribute to the atmosphere and excitement. All raffle books need to be back by tomorrow. Monday 27 March is a late start: please arrive by 10:50am.

PARENT ENGAGEMENT: A letter went home inviting all Reception and new families to our growth mindset parent workshop on Tuesday the 28th of March (Week 9) - 6:00pm to 7:15pm. Any parents who missed last year’s and would like to attend, please join us. Please RSVP by TOMORROW.parent teacher interviews are in Week 10 and 11. You will receive an information letter this week.

At recess we enjoyed watching Jessica Hogan perform two Irish dances for us. The gold coin donations raised $316 for Project Compassion. Thank you for your support.

Last Friday was also say no way to bullying day and all our classes were actively involved through discussion, role play and poster design to give each other strategies to deal with issues of bullying. An excellent resource we used was bullyingnoway.gov.au website. I would encourage you to have a look at sections relevant for your daughter.

Today Year 3s celebrated harmony day. We are grateful to our parents Nicole Denys, Karen Nesgos and Leanne Haddad for their help organising the many fun and interesting Harmony Day activities that occurred in the classroom.

We thank our Year 3 class for presenting an exciting assembly yesterday. The next assembly will be in Week

10 and will be hosted by the Year 2 class.

The Adelaide Crows incursion Last Friday the Year 4s and 5s were given the chance to meet the one and only ADELAIDE CROWS and learn that it’s not all just about winning, but participating and trying your best. The CROWS taught us how to kick a footy, how to pass a footy and most importantly, that teamwork is the greatest prize of all. - Alexandra

We had a fun time kicking footys, learning how to score and win points. And luckily at the end we got some things signed.Thankyou Crows for making our afternoon fun and special.GO CROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Willow

Sports Day SafetyEvery year there is concern about parents and students crossing the track during the races. It poses a great danger to competitors and spectators. Please ONLY cross the track when and where directed by Sports Day Officials.

Dear Parents,

We are looking ahead to Sports Day to be held at Sacred Heart College Somerton Park on Sunday, 26 March, for all St Dominic’s students from Reception to Year 12.

Frequent St Dominic’s Sports Day-goers have most of the useful information at their finger tips but it is worth repeating, especially for our newcomers in Reception and Year 8.

The programme commences at 9.00am sharp with the House March competition.

Maps have been printed in last week’s Bulletin, or can be requested via the College Office, showing the location of Sacred Heart College. The Sports Day programme is enclosed with this week’s Bulletin.

Every student needs to have on her sports skirt, coloured house top, house cap, white socks and sandshoes (predominantly white).

All parents are asked to lend a hand - even for just half an hour - on one of the stalls or on the field. You will have a good time. Have you sent in your name yet? | http://signup.com/go/cAH7hi

Again this week we are asking parents of students needing assistance with transport to Sacred Heart to let us know via the reply slip on the back page.

The raffle books were sent home two weeks ago and have some excellent prizes. We ask you to support it strongly. The proceeds go to St Dominic’s Sport and PE programme.

New parents should note that in recognition of the tremendous community effort put into Sports Day lessons start on Monday 27 March at 10.50am.

In Vietnam, young Nguyet was isolated as a result of her severe disabilities, until a Caritas-Australia supported program offered her education, creative outlets and community interaction.Please donate to Project Compassion 2017 and give children living with disabilities in Vietnam the opportunity for education and inclusion in their community.

You can donate through Parish boxes and envelopes, by visiting www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion or phoning 1800 024 413.

week four Nguyet’s Story

Year 10: Genetics in Science: A talk on Cystic FibrosisDuring the course of Term 1, the Year 10 students have been learning about the topic Genetics in Science. The classes have learnt that genetics can be the cause of many diseases that can be inherited from their parents. ‘Cystic Fibrosis’ is an example of a disease that can be passed down through the generations. This disease causes the individual to create large amounts of mucus inside many of their organs, the main one being the lungs. In a Pastoral Care lesson, we were fortunate to have Gloria as a guest speaker come and speak to us about her story with Cystic Fibrosis. Gloria gave us insight into what Cystic Fibrosis is and her battle with the disease, what happened to her and how she survived. Her emotional talk made the students understand the effects of Cystic Fibrosis and how life-threatening it is.

Year 11 Spirituality walking the eleven circuit labyrinth All Year 11s were fortunate to experience walking a labyrinth as a part of the teaching and learning unit: Spirituality. This labyrinth is exact replica of the eleven circuit labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. This labyrinth like all, has only one path which leads into the centre and then out and there are no dead ends. Christians walk the labyrinth to quieten the mind, find balance, and to meditate. The labyrinth is a path comprising an inward journey, a centre and an outward journey.
