Dear Parents and Caregivers, When is the last me that you had a quality conversa on with your child about their learning at school? Fi y years of research a ests to the fact that when parents are engaged in teaching and learning children are more successful both academically and socially (Dr Karen Mapp 2013). At our School Council last evening we began to explore ways to enable parents to be more engaged in the life of our school and to share their knowledge of their children with us.

Mrs Reynolds has decided to resign her teaching posi on at Sacred Heart as of the end of term two. Mrs Reynolds and her family are reloca ng at the end of the year. Mrs Reynolds commitment to every learner, her dedica on and experience in educa on will be greatly missed from our community.

The Royal Far West and Catholic Schools Office Wagga Wagga have for the first me, entered into a partnership to support the development of Kindergarten learners. The program targets 20% of Kindergartens and focuses on speech therapy and occupa onal therapy.

NAPLAN assessment went well. We expect the results in August.

Stage Three are going to the Mater Dei Catholic College Musical, ‘We Will Rock You’ on Thursday morning.

A group of students, along with Mrs Puckeridge, will represent us at the Na onal Sorry Day Ceremony being held at the Civic Theatre on Friday.

I will be out of the school on Thursday and Friday a ending diocesan mee ngs.

Thank you!!

Over the last two weeks we have celebrated two great feasts in our Catholic/Christian tradition. Feasts that highlight for us the abiding presence of God in our lives and world. The Ascension – Jesus is united with his Father. Jesus message to us ‘I will be with you always until the end of time’

Pentecost the descent of the Holy Spirit into the lives of the apostles and our lives. Spirit of wisdom and understanding, enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries of the universe in relation to eternity. Spirit of right judgment and courage, guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision to follow Jesus' way of

love. Spirit of knowledge and reverence, help us to see the lasting value of justice and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another. May we respect life as we work to solve problems of family and nation, economy and ecology. Spirit of God, spark our faith, hope and love into new action each day. Fill our lives with wonder and awe in your presence which penetrates all creation. Amen.

In the AFL ZOJO has taken the lead by 3 points from Sassy10Legend on 57 and wally75 & Bec Levo both on 53. It’s s ll very much anyone’s compe on to win!

In the Rugby League Premi3rs is on top on 56, closely followed by Dave Smit, Blocker01, GoSccannaz & Baggers71 who are all on 53. There are also a number of psters who have not yet used their joker round!

Ini ally we were going to celebrate the end of Football season with a psters BBQ and give the prize winners a slice of the takings, but when I look at the number of entries this isn’t really viable so instead we will present a voucher to 1st & 2nd place in each compe on. I hope this is ok with all those who have entered our pping compe on.
