PRINCIPAL’S COMMENTS

NAPLAN Testing

This is currently taking place this week for Years 3 and 5. We hope that

all our children sitting for these try their very best to achieve great

results.

Speech Therapy at School

Our Speech Therapist and her team have now completed their screening

of over forty of our students and, on Monday, held a very informative

three-hour session for our staff members as part of their Professional

Learning. This session was extremely helpful for our staff and, as a

result, I have asked her to hold a shorter, one-hour session for all

interested parents in the near future. This would be very worthwhile to

parents who would benefit.

Next week our Speech Therapist, Isabella, will commence working

alongside teachers in classrooms on a weekly basis.

Life Education Van

The Life education Van will again be at our School during Week 10 this

term from the 22nd to the 25th June. I know our students are keen to

catch up with Healthy Harold again.

Trivia Night

Many prizes have already been secured for this fun night at Doyalson

RSL on Saturday, 6th June so don’t miss the event. This is part of the

school fundraising for our students’ resources. Some tables have

already been booked so start organising your team and tell others about

it - the more the merrier!

After-School Sports Day

Each Monday after school this term we are holding free Sports

afternoons for any of our students who wish to take part. The cost is

absolutely nothing and our students receive free drink bottles and

afternoon tea when attending. This has been organised through Sport &

Rec in collaboration with Horizons and is an extremely worthwhile

activity for our students. All students attending must be accompanied by

a parent. We are most fortunate to be able to offer this to our students.

Bullying

Children of all ages at our school are being taught through the

classroom curriculum that: When I have a problem I can:

Try to stand up for myself in a positive way;

Try to talk with the person I am having a problem with;

Walk away and ignore the person completely;

Get help from a teacher or another person I trust;

Ignore the situation and keep playing or working;

Talk to a friend to get some ideas to help me make a decision; or

Try coming to an agreement with the other person.

You can reinforce these messages by discussing them with your

children at home.

Fundraising News

A HUGE thank you!!

Dear children, parents, carers, families and friends,

Thank you all for your amazing support for our Mother’s Day stall.

It was, to say the least, a lovely success and we raised approx

$1450. Thank you to all the families who donated so many lovely gifts

for the stall. They really ensure that we had a lovely range of

gifts for all. Thank you all for enabling your children to visit the

stall and for visiting the stall yourself.

Thank you to the children who were lovely, so well mannered

and so thoughtful as they tried to find just the ‘right’ gift to suit

the people they care about.

Thank you to Katrina, Michael and all the Reynolds family who

shared their time and creativity with us by making and donating

their living bouquet gardens. We can safely say they were ‘a

hit’.

Thank you to our school leaders, Brayden and Aleeza who

helped us run the stall on the day. Thanks to Reece, Jai and Lara

who helped set up the stall.

AND finally thanks to Lisa, Katia, Mel, Jenny, Rhani, Christy,

Tammy and of course ‘Little Nan’ who set up and ran the stall

on the day.

Thank you all! We couldn’t have done it without you.
