Dear Parents and Guardians, Term 2 is well underway and we have had many exciting events over the last couple of weeks. Our Year 1s enjoyed Snugglepot and Cuddlepie at their excursion to Kings Park; Frau Valley and a group of students engaged the whole school with their German Assembly and the Year 5 and 6 Winter Interschool Sport program has begun with a bang. National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy Our Year 3 and 5 students completed the NAPLAN testing this week. We were very pleased with their willingness to complete the tests to the best of their ability. We are one of the nearly 300 schools in Western Australia this year that have opted to undertake the test online for the first time. It is pleasing to note, whilst we encountered some hiccups, overall the testing went smoothly. All tests will now be assessed externally to the school and individual student reports will be issued through the school during August. The report will be accompanied by an information brochure. All students’ results are strictly confidential. The School is in for a face lift As part of our ongoing school maintenance program, A and C block are to be painted over the coming weeks. This will include the doors, windows, verandah railings, seats and bag hooks of A block and the eves of both A and C block. We expect the works to be completed by the end of June. Please observe any taped off areas. We trust this will not cause too much inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation. Lost Property Our lost property bins are bursting at the seams. Not only is the clothing bin almost full but the lost items bin has many misplaced belongings including drink bottles, shoes and even reading glasses. If your child has lost anything this term of last, please have a look in the bins outside the front office. The bins will be emptied at the end of week 5 so please come and have a look before then. Mother’s Day Stall To all our wonderful committed mothers, I trust you enjoyed your day last Sunday and your children showed their appreciation for all you do. I have no doubt that the gifts they were able to purchase from our Mother’s Day stall last Friday added to the enjoyment of your day. On behalf of our students, a special thanks to Erica Robinson and her many helpers for organising and running the stall. Without your continued effort and input these events would not take place.
Yvonne Darcey Deputy Principal
Our current value is….. Honesty which is telling the truth Please consider discussing Honesty with your child/ren this week.

School Photos Our photo day is scheduled for Thursday 7 June for Years 1-6 & Kindy Blue & Kindy Green and Friday 8 June for Kindy Yellow & PP. Envelopes were sent home with children this week and need to be handed directly to the photographer at the time of their individual photo, even if they have opted not to purchase photos. Please ensure the correct money is enclosed in your envelope as NO change can be given on the photo day by the Photographer or the School. All payments are to be made to Fotoworks with the options being cash or credit card. Late envelopes will be charged at standard reorder rates. All children will have an individual portrait taken whether purchasing photos or not as we require images for the school database.

National Walk Safely To School Day Thanks to all those families who took part in today’s National Walk Safely to School Day. It was a beautiful morning so a great opportunity to be active and enjoy the sunshine.
Voluntary Contributions We are very pleased with the number of families who have paid their voluntary contributions this year. These funds are used to support various learning programs that operate within the school. Contributions are $60 per child, please note this is different to the Technology Fund requested by the P&C for $50 per child and $70 per family. Invoices were sent home earlier this week for any outstanding payments, so if you have missed paying these contributions could you please arrange payment by cash, cheque or direct debit.

Adam Hall And The Velvet Players - Mrs Almeida Adam Hall and the Velvet Players will be performing at Marmion Primary School on Tuesday 22 May for 2 sessions. Adam Hall and the VPs is a five piece jazz ensemble from Western Australia that specialises in a high energy, entertaining brand of jazz and blues. The VPs tantalise listeners with their popular sound reminiscent of legends like Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra but is also unique in its own richness and style. This exciting group explores the melodies and toe-tapping rhythms of a variety of jazz, blues and rumba styles from well-known tunes to original works. Students will be enthralled by their instrumental and vocal flexibility and the ease of their improvisational skills! This performance is part of our school’s music learning program in Years 1 – 6 and builds on preparatory work done in the classroom. The learning experiences have been directly linked to the curriculum and have been participating in a variety of activities including scatting, improvising, composing using the 12 bar blues, dance routines and much more. We will be having 2 sessions with this amazing group in Week 4. Years 1-3 will attend at 11:40am and Years 4-6 at 1:20pm. Parents are welcome to come along and join in the creative experience of making jazz music!
German Assembly - Frau Valli
A group of 16 very enthusiastic Year 4 students performed the German assembly “Die Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt” or “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. These students gave up their time before school and at lunch time to prepare for the assembly.
Many people have commented that the students looked so confident when speaking a foreign language and that they spoke with excellent fluency and great expression. I am very proud of their efforts, which demonstrate the high level that primary school children are capable of achieving and I would like to congratulate them on their performance.
More Good Reasons To Learn German
More than 300 German companies provide jobs for 90,000 Australians. It's a great language! It is very logical and easy to learn, as the rules about forming sentences and pronunciation are almost always reliable, unlike English which has a lot of exceptions!
What Teenagers Might Ask About Relationships and Other Stuff...
Adolescence is a time of many changes. As our Year 5 and 6 students approach this developmental stage in their lives, questions occur. Our school nurse has provided an information booklet that may help with some of the questions asked regarding relationships. If you would like to access these booklets please ask for one at the front office.

Canteen Corner We have added more to our menu! The colder weather is coming and we are trying a new recipe in the canteen. Mild chicken curry with rice is available on Thursdays for $6 a serve. Depending on popularity we will change to different meals to see what everyone enjoys. Feedback is always welcome. In providing additional options, but not removing anything in its place, our need for volunteers is increasing and we still have far too many empty spaces on the roster.
Volunteers – We need you! We’ve just begun Term 2 and would like to remind all those that would like to, or be able to volunteer to please do so. You can indicate your preference by writing it down on the copy of the roster located in the canteen or let Katie know on [email protected] to secure your spot. We always appreciate your help and welcome new and experienced helpers. The volunteering commitment is only for a short time in the morning and is not a big impost to your day so please, if you haven’t before, give it a go! Keep your eye on Marmion Primary school community face page for reminders and canteen news.
The Term 2 P&C Meeting will be held on Wednesday 23 May at 7:30pm in the Library. We invite all parents, grandparents, guardians and friends of Marmion Primary to attend. Marmion Primary has a strong and vibrant community spirit and a P&C is a vital part of this. Meetings are short and fun and are great opportunity to learn more about how the school works. You can contribute ideas and have a say on how the hard earned fundraising money is spent! Look forward to seeing you there!
