GROWTH, RESPECT, OPPORTUNITY, WORTH
Welcome to All
Dear Parents/Guardians
It is very pleasing to see that our students and staff have settled well back in to the regular school routine again this term. It is great to have all of our students back again.
SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT DAY Please be aware that Friday July 3
rd will be a School
Development Day. Students do not attend school on this day.
SEMESTER 1 REPORTS All students will receive a Semester 1 Report this term. Reports will be sent home to Parents and Carers on Tuesday June 30
th. Reports will contain comments
regarding your child’s progress and details regarding their overall attitude, behaviour and effort. Allocation of grades from A – E will not be available due to the interruption caused by COVID 19.
FOOD ALLERGIES A reminder that a number of our students have allergies to foods such as peanuts and tree nuts. We respectfully ask that Parents and Carers for this reason DO NOT send nuts or nut products to school in lunch boxes. We ask that food is NOT shared amongst other students. We ask that you please reinforce this message at home with your children. Thank you.
WASTE FREE WEDNESDAY At Thornlie we are always looking at ways to educate our students on how to Reduce, Re-Use and Recycle. Every Wednesday is now a Waste Free Day!! We would ask that Parents and Carers get on board with their children and try to pack a lunchbox with limited or no plastic waste every Wednesday. Let’s all work together to reduce, recycle or reuse.
MERIT CERTIFICATES & BEHAVIOUR REWARDS Even though we are not currently able to hold school assemblies, students will continue to receive merit certificates & behaviour rewards during the term. These will be presented to students in class by the Deputy Principal’s or Principal.
STUDENT DRINK FOUNTAINS All students are strongly encouraged to use a personal water bottle rather than the school drink fountains whilst at school. Please ensure you provide a drink bottle for your
child. EARLY CLOSE MONDAY’S A reminder that our school closes at 2.30pm every Monday and at 3.00pm on all other school days.
STUDENT PICK UP & DROP OFF A reminder that students should not be at school any earlier than 8.30am in the morning and all students need to be picked up by 3.15pm or 2.45pm on Mondays. Thank you again for your support in regard to this.
Kind Regards
Lee Woodcock Principal

During the COVID19 crisis, YouthCARE chaplaincy services will be ongoing for Thornlie PS staff, students and families; providing essential social, emotional and mental health support. During tough times, it is important to have someone to talk to. YouthCARE chaplains are there to listen, and provide a supportive place to talk. We offer confidential, non-judgmental pastoral care and programs based on respect, compassion and service. Our aim is to support young people and their communities who may be facing challenging personal and social issues. We listen, understand and refer to extra help, if it’s appropriate. As always, I am available for a chat on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays during school hours and, during the COVID19 crisis, by appointment at other times. Referral may be requested through the office (9232 3450), classroom teachers or email [email protected].
Christine Thomas YouthCARE School Chaplain This project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations under the National School Chaplaincy and Student Welfare Program.

In Room 2 we have been learning about the writing genre of Information Reports. Our model text is about a fictional animal called The Barking Finch. It has the head of a dog and the body of a bird! You can see us creating some fictional animals in art so that when we write, we can look at our animal to describe it. We had a lot of fun creating silly looking animals!

Final day for Students
National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. The dates remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
