Thanks to the many families who attended the Family Mass on Sunday. Thanks to the children who participated enthusiastically. We look forward to preparing for Holy Week with a re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross next Friday morning.

Fr Paul's open door invitation to pray and safety arrangements
We are fortunate to have our school on the same grounds as our Parish church. Fr Paul has opened up the doors of the church to welcome children and families into the church to pray.
As the safety of every child at school is paramount to both Fr Paul and to our school staff, we wish to inform you of new safety arrangements.
The side door to the church that opens into our front yard will be locked in the morning when the school bell goes at 8:55am and will remain closed until 3:30pm. The doors will then be closed at 3:45pm. This means that there is no access into the playground from the church during the school day apart from the times when children wish to make a morning or afternoon visit with their parents.
It is important to note, the children may not go into the church on their own at any time. They can only go into the church in the presence of their parents or with their teachers. This message has been passed onto the children at school. Please reiterate this at home.
A big thank you Danny Egan and to the 25 families who attended our first working bee of the year. Although attendance was down, a lot was accomplished. Don't forget, in order to have the $150.00 working bee levy refunded from your school fees, attendance at one working bee is required.
School Sports Day- Thursday 27th April
Please note that our School Sports Day will be held on Thursday 27th April (Week 2 of Term 2) This has been moved to earlier in the year due to planned reconstruction work at the Duncan McKinnon Athletics Track in Term 4. We will have a modified timetable and will be asking for Parent Helpers on the day. Further details/ permission forms will go out early next term.
Building Social Skills THANK YOU
Thanks to the many parents who attended the Year 4 event last week. We had over 70% attendance from Year 4 families. This was a great opportunity to partner together to learn how building social skills at school and home can support learning outcomes.
Here is a link to a reflection around the evening and the process leading to it.

Thanks to the parents who came to our meeting last week. Here is a link to our discussion. We discussed reports, Premier Reading Challenge, Tiq Biz and the Learning Community Site.
Premier's Reading Challenge

Children from Prep to Year 6 can register. This must be done on the website link directly by parents.

FORGOTTEN LUNCHES & LUNCH ORDERS
We have noticed a much higher incidence of children forgetting to put their lunch orders in of a morning, despite repeated reminders. Commencing next term we will be offering those children a choice of a Vegemite, butter or cheese sandwich made by school staff in the staffroom. Children will be asked to donate $2 of their lunch order money to pay for the sandwich (this will inturn be donated to Project Compassion).
