A message from the Principal:

Dear Parents,

I am really happy with how everyone has settled into the

school year. Our classrooms are all working well and students are engaged in their

learning.

Hats and Uniform

I would like to remind all parents that it is essential that all students wear their hats in

term 1 and term 4. I also want to remind everyone that it is expected that all students

wear their school uniform. Our uniform is blue and gold and I have noticed that some

older students have been wearing variations to our uniform. This is not fair to all of the

students who do the right thing everyday and must cease immediately.

Stranger Danger

I would like to remind all parents that if you see anything unusual in or around the

school please contact the office immediately. If you see a stranger hanging around out-

side the school please do not hesitate to call the school or the police. I strive to give

this reminder at the start of each school year as student safety is always paramount.

Open Classrooms

Our school open classroom afternoon will take place this Wednesday from 4.00 to

5.00. This is a great opportunity to see your child’s classroom, meet the teacher and

have a look at all of our specialist classrooms. The afternoon is for students in Grade 1-

6. The prep students will have an open classroom/ picnic on March 7th. Further details

will go home to parents soon.

Student Interactions

I would like to remind everyone that it is essential that parents do not approach other

children to try and solve disputes. It is the role of the school to do this and the waters

become murky when parents get involved in friendship issues.

Easter Raffle

Our fundraising team are beginning planning for the Easter Raffle. It would be greatly

appreciated if parents could please donate an Easter egg to the school to help make up

the hampers. Please drop off eggs to Colleen in the office. We would also appreciate

any parent volunteers who would like to help this year. Please see me at any time.

Kind Regards, Chris

Speech Therapy with Marina

Language is fundamental to your child’s development. To help

develop your child’s language:

Talk to your child about the things that they like

Use a range of words to describe your environment and

what is happening around you

Name items around the house and talking about how they

are used

Take turns when talking and playing

Use picture to retell or make up stories



That Was Summer

Remember when I walked along the soft warm

sand wriggling through my toes. That was sum-

mer.

Remember the sweat dripping down my fore-

head. That was summer.

Remember the lovely blue sunny skies. That was

summer.

Remember the lemon sorbet ice cream that melt-

ed all over my finger. That was summer.

Remember the crashing waves hitting my chest.

That was summer.

Remember when I got burned to smithereens.

That was summer.

Remember When

Remember when we jumped into the dark depths of my

neighbour’s pool.

That was summer

Remember when the water balloons exploded on my body

over and over again.

That was summer

Remember when we had milkshakes while watching the

crescent moon.

That was summer

Remember when I left the depths of the beach with sunburn

worse than the sun.

That was summer

Remember when I played games with my friends and family.

That was summer

John D 6 DC Grade 6 DC have been

writing Summer poems


That was summer

Remember when we were relaxing on the soft sand and

hearing the crashing waves. That was summer.

Remember when we ate the cold soft chocolate dripping

ice cream. That was summer.

Remember when we watched an action movie with the

buttery popcorn. That was summer.

Remember when we sat on the soft and silky grass at the

massive park. That was summer.

Remember when we swam in the cold and crystal clear

water. That was summer.

From Romeo 6 DC

That was summer

Remember when the water dropped like rain onto our

heads,

That was summer.

Remember when the music of childhood was heard and fam-

ilies bought a soft ice cream,

That was summer.

Remember when the sand was beneath our feet and the

crashing waves was heard,

That was summer.

Remember when the bright yellow sun shone onto our face,

That was summer.

Remember when the waves were holding the surfers as they

surfed left and right,

That was summer.
