“Reach for the Stars”
From the Principal, Miss Sarah Perrett
Dear Parents & Care Givers,
I would like to congratulate and commend all
Year 3 and 5 students on completing
NAPLAN online for 2019. As you may be
aware, technical issues were experienced
across Australia, and I am pleased to report
we were fortunate to only experience very
minor issues. I was very impressed with the
attitude of the students who sat NAPLAN. I
didn't witness any anxiety issues, or students
becoming upset. I certainly hope they are
rewarded for their positivity when the results
become available later this year.
The YSSSA Football & Netball Carnival for
Years 3-6 students will occur on Friday 8th
June at the Sports Grounds
in Southern Cross. Last
week, students chose the
sport they would like to play
and permission notes were
sent home.

Mother’s ‘Pizza & Pamper’ Afternoon
Last week, all students participated in the
National Simultaneous Story-time (NSS). This
event is held annually by the Australian
Library and Information Association. Every
year a picture book, written and illustrated by
Australians is read simultaneously across the
country. This year, the book was ‘Alpacas with
Maracas’ and was read by officers Deb and
Larry from the Southern Cross Police. Thank
you to both Deb and Larry for reading to the
students and promoting attendance and
literacy.
National Simultaneous Story time
Thank you to all the mother’s who attended
the Pizza and Pamper afternoon in week 3. It
was lovely to see the students pampering
their mother’s by giving massages, painting
nails, giving foot scrubs and decorating pho-
to frames. Thank you to Chrissie Nicholl for
organising this event.
Next Thursday afternoon, both the Junior
and Senior room students will participate in
football clinic run by the West Australian
Football Commission. Students are
reminded to wear appropriate footwear and
clothing.
Football Clinic This week we are recognising National
Reconciliation Week (NRW). It 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.

Regan Auld: for the dedication and care taken to complete homework each week.
Planting Seedlings
On Monday the 20th of May, we planted seedlings in the vegie gar-
den. First we got some gloves so we didn’t get our hands dirty. Next
we poked some holes with our finger in the ground for the seedling
to go into. Then we got the seedlings to put in the garden and each
one of us got to put about one or two in the holes that we made.
After that we watered them with the watering cans all of us got a
turn of watering them. It was so fun!!
