Sacred Heart community is committed to academic excellence through Christ-based learning experiences which foster reverence, respect and responsibility.

Principal’s Message, Every Learner Everyday.

Parish Update Fr Stephen Onyekwere has been appointed as administrator of the parishes of Finley and Tocumwal effective from the end of June 2018. We look forward to wel-coming Fr Stephen to our parish communities.

Gorgeous Girls Program The Years 5 & 6 girls will join in with our Deanery schools to participate in Centa-care’s Gorgeous Girls Program next Monday 18th June. The workshop will be held at St. Joseph’s in Finley. The program aims to challenge the typical view of what the girls perceive a “Gorgeous Girl” to look like and to accept every girl is different and gor-geous in their own right.

“The Magical Land of Oz” Years 3 and 4 students will travel to Jerilderie next Wednesday 20th June to watch St. Joseph’s matinee performance of their school production—’The Magical Land of Oz”. The performance will be held in the Jerilderie Civic Hall commencing at 10:30am. Mr Boake will drive the bus.

‘Learn to Swim’ program At this week’s assembly students were presented ‘Learn to Swim’ certificates made available through funding from Murray Irrigation. This sponsor donates $10.00 per child to complete the swimming program held in Term 1. This funding is used to offset the transport

and life guard costs of the progam.

Sports Assembly Next Tuesday we have a special assembly. Sports Awards will be presented from re-cent school sporting events. Parents and friends are once again invited to attend the special assembly. The assembly will be held at the usual time of 2:50pm.

EnviroMentors Workshop A student environmental workshop will be held next Friday 22nd June. The workshop run by Keep NSW Beautiful aims to transform behaviour to create a less littered, more envi-ronmentally sustainable New South Wales. To tie in with the school garden, next week’s module will look at composting - students will learn fundamental lessons about disposing

of the organic waste they generate—both at home and school. They will learn that their old food scraps and garden waste are a valuable resource which can be used as fertilizer. Our aim is to reestablish our compositing bins in the garden area and to extend our current composting abilities.

Will be held next TUESDAY

In the hall at 2.50pm.

Students in the Senior room have been composing entries for the Australian Catholics 2018 Young Journalist Award. This year’s subject is “Voices of hope - Taking a stand for justice” Entrants are asked to interview someone who is a force for good in our community. Each week we will feature one of the entries. This week’s item comes from Year 6 student, Annie McLeod

Friendly, helpful and kind hearted is Mr Ashley Wiles, our community Pharma-cist. Ashley chose this job because he liked how you could play an important role in someone’s quality of life. He enjoys interacting with customers and helping them with any health questions they may have. Ashley is an inspiration to young people like me because of the empathy he shows to everyone. In Ashley's job he manages and dispenses medications. He explains how to take medication and the side effects they have. He also deals with health conditions like diabetes and first aid treatments like burns and cuts. People see him if they are unsure if they need to see a doctor and he also helps people with acute sick-nesses like cold, flu and hay fever. Ashley is a well respected member of the community. When his wife went into labour with his daughter, he was working on his own. As the Pharmacy couldn’t be open without a pharmacist on duty, everyone needed to leave the shop includ-ing staff. Then the customers went out and stopped the traffic in the main street so Ashley could drive straight home to his wife. Ashley is a big believer in treating people how you would treat your family. He says “The person you are treating is someone’s nan or pop, mum or dad, brother or sister, son or daughter.” He went on to say “If one of my family mem-bers went into a pharmacy, I would want them to get the best advice and service so why should it be different for anyone else.” Ashley believes our community is one big family, so being a community pharma-cist means you have to be able to communicate kindly and with patience to peo-ple of all ages and abilities. He shows patience and empathy to all people all the time. He understands your problems and tries to help you solve them. Ashley WIles is a voice of hope in our community because he is working to make everyone’s future better. When I grow up I would like to be an inspiration to oth-ers, like Ashley is to me. He is always caring for others.

We have an assortment of kitchenware in the staff room.
