Trinity Catholic Primary School is committed to providing an education that develops the whole person.

We believe that the social, emotional, moral, spiritual and physical wellbeing of our students

is pivotal to student health, safety, learning and success.

Dear Parents,

A reminder that we have our Carnival on Sunday week, the 23rd of October. If you have not yet put your name down to assist, please refer to the sign up details later in the newsletter and select a time that suits you. We expect that all families contribute to the Carnival as all students directly benefit from the money raised. Raffle tickets and wristband order forms are due back this Friday.

We received excellent news from the builders today that the renovation work in the Joyce Building is ahead of schedule. As a result of this the grade 3/4 students will be moving into their new rooms next Thursday, the 20th. The grade 5/6 students will also be moving out of the Allen Building on this date and into their temporary learning spaces. Work will commence in the Allen Building on Thursday the 20th, if all things go according to plan the Allen building will be completed for the start of the New Year. The following arrangements have been put in place to accommodate the move;

The classrooms will be moved by the staff after school on Wednesday the 19th.

Parents are invited to tour the new space between 8.45am – 9.15am on Thursday the 20th.

The students will commence Thursday the 20th in their existing learning space and transition to their new area throughout the course of the day.

Please see the attached map of the Joyce Building to establish where the 3/4 grades will be located.

Grade 5 - 5 Lamb: Multi-Purpose Room / 5 Farrelly: Multi-Purpose Room / 5 Gubbins: ICT Room.

Grade 6 – 6 Edmanson: Sr Joy’s Room in Hall / 6 Cassar: Discovery Centre (Old Library) / 6 Barker: Discovery Centre (Old Library).

It is with pleasure that we can announce the appointment of Miss Matilda Lindsay, Miss Breanna Moore and Miss Emily Rogers to the staff. Matilda will be commencing on the 2nd of November as a Learning Support Officer and Breanna and Emily will be joining the teaching staff in 2017. They are all very excited to be joining Trinity and I am sure that they will be made to feel welcome by all families.

I remind parents that Monday is a School Closure Day as all staff are participating in a Religious Education Professional Development Day facilitated by the Catholic Education Office. We apologise if this causes any inconvenience for families.

Regards

Simon Dell'Oro

Mental Health Week 2016

World Mental Health Day is marked every year on the same date: 10th of October. Mental Health Week (9th- 15th Oct) aims to activate, educate and engage Victorians about mental health. It is designed to encourage all to look after their body, mind and spirit and a time to raise awareness of mental health issues. People with a mental illness can be among the most disadvantaged in society, and they often confront many barriers as a direct result of their illness. Stigma and discrimination is one major barrier and can often be worse than the illness itself. Changing perceptions about mental illness can go a long way towards breaking down some of the barriers that stigma and discrimination creates. During this week let us remember in our prayers all those who live with mental health difficulties.

Kathryn Pepper Religious Education Leader / Student Support

For those whose lives are burdened with the struggles

and stress of mental health difficulties … May our healing God lift their burdens, calm their

anxiety, and quiet their fears. Lord hear us.

For the families and loved ones of people with mental

health problems … May they find support for themselves and may our broader society continue to remove the stigma that

surrounds mental illness. Lord hear us.

For guidance for those who do research for the

prevention and treatment of mental illnesses … (Pause) May they be people of compassion and vision.

Lord hear us.

Lord, allow us go into this week aware of those suffering mental illness in our community.

Amen

All parents/Guardians wishing to help in the classroom, canteen or attend excursions MUST have completed the PARENT HELPER WORKSHOP and hold a current WORKING WITH CHILDREN CARD.

Further details are available from the school office. All parent/guardian helpers must sign in at the office before proceeding to the classrooms. Your current Working with Children card must be displayed at all times when working in the classrooms and attending excursions.

A reminder to all Parents/Carers, supervision by School Staff begins at 8.30am before school and after school only at the drop

off area until 3.30pm.

Please observe and supervise your children, as they play on the equipment.

Thank you for your co-operation

TRINITY CAR PARK ETIQUETTE For greater safety and visibility, we are requesting that all

drivers reverse park into the marked bays.

Thank you all who use the pedestrian crossing area. You are demonstrating to your children correct road safety practices. Once children cross the pedestrian crossing into the parking area, they, for their safety, need to be placed into vehicles promptly. The car park is NOT a meeting area.

The lane around the edge of the car park (closest to the oval) are for vehicles waiting to pick children up from the Pick-up Zone ONLY.

The two parking bays closest to the office path are the PICK-UP ZONES. These are NO STANDING zones. I f your children are not ready to get into your car as you pull up to the pick-up zone, you must continue on and rejoin the end of the pick-up queue.

There is NO RIGHT TURN when exiting the car park. All vehicles must turn left for the safety of others and to maintain traffic flow.

THE GATES CLOSE AT 9.00am AND RE-OPEN AT 3.00pm. Occasionally they might re-open slightly later due to school activities.

Thank you for your patience and consideration of others.
