Dear Parents and Community
We are moving very quickly toward the end of the term, and therefore the end of Semester One. It has been a very busy term and there is no time to rest just yet! Performing Arts Festival Well done to our fabulous students who performed so well at the Performing Arts Festival last Friday. Congratulations and thank you to our wonderful school leaders, Sophie, Nathan and Jake who were so professional and confident both backstage and on stage throughout the day. The responsibilities that they took on and the ongoing changes happening backstage made it challenging at times, but other schools have commented on how helpful and accommodating they were. Thank you to our wonderful P&C, in particular Nikki McCuish and Joss Seymour for organising and running the canteen on the day. It was great to see so many helpers in the kitchen throughout the day. Thank you to all those family members who were able to make the trip over to support our students’ performance. Check out some of the great photos on the website later this week. Reports Reports will be coming home on during the last week of term, on Tuesday 28th June. If you haven’t already had a chance to touch base with your child’s teacher/s, please do so before the end of term. Joint Schools STEM Camp Next Thursday, our Year 4-6’s will be travelling to Watheroo to participate in a series of workshops over a two-day period in the area of STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This will be a fantastic opportunity for our students to socialise with other groups, and learn about an area that is fast becoming a focus within education across the country. Our Year 3 students will be joining them for the day on Friday. The students are then set a project to work on throughout next term, and meet back with the schools in September to showcase their final products. Red Nose Day Unfortunately, our senior room won’t be here with us to celebrate Red Nose Day on Friday 24th June; however our junior room are very excited to be involved. Our student leaders have asked that the Junior Room students come dressed in red on the day, and as an extra challenge, to try and bring something red to eat in your lunchbox! We would welcome a gold coin donation, which will go toward SIDS for KIDS. Junior Assembly Next Tuesday, we will have the Junior Assembly, followed by a visit to the classrooms for parents and families, before the P&C meeting in the Library. We hope to see many of you there. Uniform Policy Just a reminder that with the cold weather coming in, we still need to follow our school dress code policy,
which is available on the website, or from the front office. Thank you.
Regards Shannon Jeffers

Quotes from the late Will Rogers –
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Always drink up-stream from the herd.
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
and put it back in your pocket.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so
good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth
shut.
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself…
'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am
about to do today?'
And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
- Steve Jobs
