Welcome back to all staff and

students. Hope you all had a

great holiday and are ready to

start the term!

It is the beginning of Term 3

(mid-year) and time doesn’t

stand still. This Term we are

concentrating heavily on the

academics of our students. We

have limited the extra – curric-

ular activities to ensure that

students spend most of their

time inside the classroom to learn. Academic results

achieved by the majority of our students (last term) were

great and that reflected their commitment to their learning.

Parent involvement also increased and most parents

collected their children’s reports during the Parent

Interview Night in week 10 (end of last term). We

encourage our parents / caregivers to be heavily involved

in their children’s education and to build well established

relationships with teachers to ensure that their children

reach their true potential. I invite all parents to contact the

school if they have queries at all. We are here to serve you

and to ensure that your children are catered for holistically

(body, soul and mind).

We are also running a music curriculum on Wednesday’s

starting this term. Piano/ Keyboard and singing lessons will

be offered to students interested and we are very excited

about this new program. This will be taught by Sara

Veerhuis and we welcome her to our Crossways staff.

Possible Crossways Bus Service...

At Crossways we are

currently in the process of

organising a School Bus Pick

Up and Drop Off in the

Ceduna / Thevenard area.

This will depend upon how

many families wish to use this

service. Please contact the

school as soon as possible on

86252873 and put your details

on our list if you wish to use

this service.

Thankyou

This term you will see a lot of renovations happening at

our school. Landscaping will be done in the front of the

school, sport facilities will be upgraded (resurfacing of the

netball / basketball / tennis courts) and the admin block

has been refreshed as well (painted and new floor cover-

ing etc.). All these developments are very exciting and it

symbolises the new era at Crossways Lutheran School. As

soon as the renovations are complete, we will organise an

open day to showcase our new facilities.

Lots of exciting developments are happening and we

would like everyone to join us on this journey.

God Bless

Welcome back to Term 3. Hopefully you have all had a

great holiday and you are well rested for a huge term's

work effort. Staff have used their holidays to take a

breather and to research and prepare an engaging

learning program for their students.

Expectations as with all other terms emphasise that

children attempt all work and that they confidently

attempt all work asking questions to assist with

understanding as appropriate.

Upcoming events include Mr. Puccio's class camp to

Errappa. We also welcome on board two new staff mem-

bers, Mrs. Emily Palmer and Ms Hazel Kim, as well as Mrs.

Sara Veerhuis who will teach music as an elective subject.

Term 3 is shaping up to be an exciting one, and you are all

welcome to come on the learning journey with us.

Mr Puccio

School Co-ordinator

…………………………………………….. Food for thought!

There are 3 points, I would like to suggest, that will

help make all our students better learners:

1 - Getting enough sleep

It is recommended that middle school

students should be getting around 8-9 hours of

sleep each night and about 10 hours for the

younger students. Are your children getting

enough sleep?

2 - A Good Routine

Getting up and going to bed at the same time each

day, scheduling in time for homework & getting to

school on time. Are your children in a good rou-

tine?

3 - A Healthy and Balanced Diet

Starting with a nutritious breakfast and including

fruit and vegetables each day. Our school has a

free breakfast club which starts at 8 am every

school day! Please make use of this if you're find-

ing it difficult to get your children to eat break-

fast! Please keep in mind that pies pasties and

sausage rolls are only permitted on Fridays No soft

drinks are allowed at all

About Miss Kim :

Miss Kim completed her education

degree in Adelaide last year and

moved to Ceduna with her husband

in April this year. She is very much looking forward

to starting a new chapter of her life in Ceduna and

at Crossways. I enjoy the fishing and the beautiful

beaches in Ceduna as well as the friendly community,

my neighbors and the church. My hobbies include

playing the piano, listening to music, handicrafts and

reading.

HOMEWORK CLUB !

Reminder to all families that

Homework Club begins again

on Wednesday Week 2 and

every Wednesday after for

this term from

3.30pm until 4.30pm.

Hello my name is Emily Palmer. I offi-

cially started working at Crossways this

term after completing my studies here

over the past 18 months. I am teaching

years 8-10 History and 8/9 English on a

Monday. I arrived here in Ceduna with

my husband and two daughters in Feb-

ruary last year and am enjoying the close community

feel and beautiful beaches! Before this we lived in

Whyalla for two years after having grown up in Ade-

laide where I taught English language to adult mi-

grants, refugees and overseas students. I enjoyed this

work but after having my own children I decided to

retrain in teaching middle and secondary school.

I enjoy outdoor activities with family, a good book,

playing the piano and shopping.

I look forward to teaching your children this term

and getting to know parents and carers better!

God bless, Emily.

At Crossways

Lutheran School

This is a seven week course that

faith, in a friendly, open, and informal environment.

You will be able to do this during a meal and in a

small group setting, where people can be free to
