This Term is running out and final assessment tasks need to be submitted at due dates. Teachers are busy writing reports for all our students and I hope that every student has produced work to their potential and will receive the report they deserve.
We will be organising parent interviews early next term to
discuss student outcomes with every parent and to plan a way forward to improve on what they have achieved. It is of vital importance that parents attend the parent interviews. Parents will be booked into preferable timeslots to attend the parent interviews on the night (Andrew McIlwraith LSO Liaison will organise the bookings).
Let the coming long weekend not just be a lovely holiday but remember the Christian relevance of East-er. Let us celebrate Easter keeping in mind that it is not about Easter bunnies, chocolates and gifts BUT it is Our Saviour Jesus who died on the Cross for us so we can be saved. Praise the Lord!
Easter! What an important event for
all people on Earth.

A free gift from God to save us (His children). Psalm 71:5-8
5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. 6 From birth I have
relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
I will ever praise you. 7 I have become a sign to many;
you are my strong refuge. 8 My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendour all day long.
If there was ever a day that gives us hope, it is Resurrection Sunday! In fact ...that's why the church gathers week by week on Sunday, the Lord's Day for worship. We gather to celebrate and commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! In fact, every Sunday is a celebration of the Empty Tomb! A celebration that Jesus is Alive! It's the empty tomb of Jesus that gives us HOPE! Hope in the here-and-now!
The HOPE of forgiveness. The HOPE of peace. The HOPE of assurance. The HOPE of Heaven. And that HOPE is centered in the person of Jesus.
Blessings, Francois Pienaar
IMPORTANT ALERT !!! Crossways Lutheran School is now a NUT FREE ZONE !
We have students enrolled at School that are allergic to NUTS and products that contain NUTS.
Please ensure your child / children do not bring NUTS to School for recess or lunch.
Crossways NUT FREE POLICY IS ATTACHED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE

POLICY/PROCEDURE
NO: 42
NUT MINIMISATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Aim To provide direction in relation to minimizing the presences of nuts and products including
Rationale The prevalence and severity of the consequences of nut allergies are such that we believe it is in the best interests of children, staff and visitors to minimise the presence of nuts at Cross-ways Lutheran School.
Definitions NQS – National Quality Standard
WHS Policy
EpiPen is an injection that contains epinephrine, a chemical that narrows blood vessels and opens airways in the lungs. The allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) treated with the use of Ep-
Implementation
Nuts of all forms, and products containing nuts as an ingredient are to be avoided for snacks, lunches and cooking activities. When a staff member becomes aware that a student has brought a product containing nuts from home
the food will be removed and placed in a safe place so that it can be returned to parents/guardians at the end of the session
an alternative food will be provided
the reasons for not being able to consume that particular product at Crossways Lutheran School will be explained to the students.
if the student becomes distressed an Injury, Incident, Trauma and Illness record will be completed and a parent/guardian will be contacted as soon as possible
removal of the food item and the reasons for it will be explained to a parent/guardian within 24 hours
If a student’s allergy is severe and he/she needs an EpiPen for treatment when food contain-ing nut products have been consumed, immediate treatment will be inisiated by first aid offic-ers (Most teaching and admin staff are trained in EpiPen use). EpiPens need to be provided by parents and kept in the front office for emergencies. As it is sometimes difficult to determine whether a food product brought from home contains nuts (such as food stir-fried in peanut oil) information about the Crossways Lutheran School nut minimisation policy will be provided at the time of enrolment.

…………………………………………….. YEAR 3/4
Here we are in Week 8 of Term 1! With so many activities and events taking place this term, Week 8 has definitely come around quickly! In Year 3-4 we have been busy with many inquiry-based lessons, which has encouraged and supported students to learn through hands-on activities. Students are to be congratulated on collaborating so well together as a team for various lessons, es-pecially Science and Design Technologies. During these lessons, groups of students have shown maturity and respect for one another, where they have guided and supported each other to design and create marble runs, as well as helping one another to investigate what plants and seeds need in order to grow as part of our Science inquiries.
Students have also continued to show their respect and dedica-tion in Christian Studies, where they have been producing some amazing artwork to show what Jesus means to them and to spread the message of love and peace throughout the world.
The Year 3-4’s have also welcomed some new students into our class, which now sees us having 26 students in total! On behalf of the Year 3-4 class, and myself we welcome you into our school and hope you enjoy your time here as part of the Crossways Family.

…………………………………………….. Year 5/6 Museum Excursion
Nykita’s stick and leaf figurine
This term in HASS the 5/6 class has been looking at colonial Aus-tralian history. As part of their learning experience students visit-ed the Ceduna Museum to see how European colonists may have lived. Students took photographs of what they saw and kept a record of their observations and will be using their photographs to produce an assessment task in History class.

Year 7/8 Geography
As part of Geography and systems in unplugged Digital Technolo-gies, the 7/8 class were asked to design and create a water cycle. They could choose any method but their final product had to clearly show the system of a water cycle. Overall students worked well to design and create their water cycle systems!
