Dear Parents, Annual Report to the Community Please note that our 2016 annual report to the community is now available on our school website under ‘About us’ and then ‘Annual Report.’ Year 4 Bike Ed Camp Next week our Year 4 students are attending their Bike Ed camp. They have been training over the past 3 weeks to make sure their riding skills are satisfactory for this type of event. I have been very impressed with the improvement in riding skills shown. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff who are attending the year 4 camp this year – Miss Kate Johnston, Mrs Christine Kelly, Mrs Shelley Adair, Mrs Sonia Blakey and Mrs Nigel Rodrigues. I will be visiting camp later in the week as well. Dad’s Social Gathering Thank you to all of the Dads who attended the social evening last night at 2 Brothers Brewery. We had over 55 attendees which was fantastic. Parents Morning Tea I would like to thank the parents and grandparents who attended the special morning tea last Tuesday. It was a wonderful opportunity for Mr Rodrigues and myself to chat informally with families about the school and opportunities for the children. We will be holding these morning Teas regularly during the school year. School Playground Please keep an eye out in the coming weeks for information about the proposed upgrades to the school playground. A working party of myself and the school board are busily collecting information about the exciting possibilities that we may be able to use here at St. Finbar’s School. We will be asking for input from the whole school community – Staff, Parents and Students – about what you would like to see happen. Stay tuned!! Cross-Country Championships Congratulations to all of our children who qualified for the Dendy Cross Country championships last Thursday. All of our children competed very well with 4 of our children qualifying for the next level of competition. More information is listed further in the newsletter. Special thanks to all of the staff who assisted on the day, in particular Mrs Thompson who selected our team. School Closure Days Please mark in your diaries June the 8th and 9th as school closure days. The staff will be spending time away together in professional development activities focusing on Feedback and Peer observation/review. Our Outside School Hours Care will be available on these days for busy families.

This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord – which used to be celebrated exactly forty days after the resurrection of Jesus – Ascension Thursday! “Christ who ascended into heaven in his body carries on what he began on earth through his new body, the church. He teaches through its apostles and evangelists. He ministers through its prophets and pastors. In and through the church, Jesus continues to heal and to comfort; to forgive and to include. We have not been left alone; we have his power, the same power with which he performed marvels when he walked the earth. We have not been left alone; we have each other. Together we make up the new body of Christ. Together we await the fullness of this body. It is this new body that stands in between the times, secure in what we have, confident of what we will be given.” Dianne Bergant Our Social Justice Leaders who are busily allocating ‘good’ to classes and making posters… these will be published next week … In the meanwhile you may like to get ahead by collecting any of these items: Soups (tinned and packet); Noodles & flavourings, etc.; Baked beans, tinned spaghetti, etc; Healthy breakfast cereals; Tinned and dry food e.g. tuna, salmon; vegetables, tomatoes etc; Rice. Long life simmer sauces, etc.; Pasta and pasta sauces; Spreads (jams, honey, Vegemite, peanut butter, etc.); Biscuits, rice crackers, etc; Tea, coffee, Milo; Soap, body wash, shampoo, deodorant, etc; Toothpaste and tooth brushes; Toilet paper; Laundry powder ….. Things like packs of multiple items (toothbrushes, for example) are better value buys – and we can split those to assist individuals. But for food stuffs we prefer smaller ‘standard’ jars and packs (say, 1kg rice, for example) rather than having to re-package large bulk packages. Thank you in advance to all the students, staff and parents of St Finbar’s Primary School for your wonderful, on-going support of our annual Winter Appeal – from all of us at St Vincent de Paul Society, Brighton East Conference. On Tuesday night, the Year 4 students together with their parents took another step in their preparation for First Eucharist. Activities on the night mirrored the four main parts of our Mass, when ‘Gather’; ‘Listen’; ‘Receive’; and ‘Go’. Thanks to all who attended for their wholehearted participation …hope you live the ‘action’ this week! Let us continue
to keep our year 4 families in our prayers as they continue their faith journey ….
Have a great week,
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS ~ June Kellar
Dates to remember …
Weekend of 3rd & 4th June – Confirmation Commitment at any mass
Dear Families of St Finbar’s,
Mr Berlingeri has recently completed his annual report to the school community and in this report we are reminded of the many great things happening here at St Finbar’s. Each year this report highlights the achievements of the year and directions for the following year. Student Wellbeing will again be a major focus for all of us and remains one of the most important aspects of our school’s Annual Action Plan. As I have mentioned often, the responsibility of our children’s wellbeing is everyone’s. Parents and school staff must work together in enabling our children to develop their social skills, their resilience and their sense of connectedness to this community. I have been reminded many times by visitors to our school that St Finbar’s is a very welcoming place and has
a great community atmosphere. What is important is that we are always aware of individuals, whether they be adults or children who may not always feel this way and need to be supported and enabled to participate in this great community. As we continue this journey together I ask that we all take every opportunity to strengthen the connections we have with each other so that each child and family at St Finbar’s can feel a genuine connectedness to others.
Foundation PMP (Perceptual Motor Program) This term our Foundation students have begun their PMP Program. It was great to feel the excitement and watch the enthusiasm of the children as they experienced the activities and challenges provided. Thanks to the parents who have been able to assist so far and we look forward to others being able to help out as well. “PMP is a programme which aims to develop the child's perceptions and understandings of himself or herself in relation to her/his world, through movement/motor experiences. It aims to develop perceptions of height and space, the pattern and order of the child's natural world, the laws and limitations that govern the human body. Above all it aims to give the child confidence to manipulate him/herself in their world to suit her or his own best interests. PMP is seen as part of the programme of total experiences. It is not a physical education programme alone, or music, or fitness, or dance, or gymnastics. It is a programme that uses facets of all of the above in order to develop children's perceptions.”
PMP is different because it aims to develop the child rather than the skill. It is not purely a motor programme.”
SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST IS NOW AVAILABLE: Stacey is available for children who are presenting with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. This service is completely covered by Medicare. To access this service please speak to your child’s teacher or you can email or speak to Mr Nigel Rodrigues ~ Deputy Principal who will provide you with details on how to refer your child.

GREAT EFFORTS @ DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY We’d like to congratulate our 81 Year 3-6’s who represented our school at the Dendy District Cross Country last Friday. Bald Hill Park certainly proved a lot tougher course to run than Dendy Park, with many parts of the course having runners tackle hills & dips. Over the day, all students participated in their respective SSV age-groups; 9/10y, 11y and 12/13y’s against our nine other Dendy schools. All competitors gave it a good go, with St. Finbar’s managing to place 7th in the Winning School by % (points achieved divided by the no. of Yr 3-6 students) and 6th in the Outright Points Section. St Joan of Arc did very well and won the trophy for the Outright Winning School on the day. The top 8 from each age group will now attend the next level of competition; Beachside Division XC, which is to be held next Tuesday 30th May at Bald Hill Park. Congratulations to these four students that have qualified and will represent our District next week: 9/10G: Vegas H (3D): 3rd 11B: Zac B (5H): 8th
12/13G: Lily P (6D): 4th 12/13G: Ruby R (6H): 6th A special mention also goes to these ten students who finished in the top 20 within their age-group – a wonderful achievement also: 9/10G: Scarlett M (4K): 14th Maisy W (4K): 17th 11G: Stephanie D (5A): 10th Chloe S (5A): 18th Ava G (6D): 17th 11B: Charles F (5A): 20th 12/13G: Charlotte V (6D): 16th Sarah V (6H): 17th 12/13B: Oliver N (6H): 13th Liam O (6D): 16th
Many thanks to our bus supervision supporting parents; Ewa W and Helen C – the staff and students are very appreciative for your time and efforts last Friday. We’d also like to thank the four supporting staff that managed the XC team over the morning; Miss Hill, Mrs D’Rozario, Miss Johnston and Miss Durie – thank you!

Quality Improvement Plan- National Reconciliation Week 27May- 3 June National Reconciliation Week celebrates and builds on the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. The weeklong celebration is an ideal opportunity for all Australians to explore ways to join the national reconciliation effort. National Reconciliation Week is held from 27 May to 3 June, and recognises two significant dates in Australia’s history. On 27 May 1967, Australians voted to remove clauses in the Australian Constitution that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum. On 3 June 1992, the Mabo decision was made in the High Court of Australia, recognising Native Titles and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people having rights to the land. The decision further recognised that, in some cases, Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples Native Title had survived British colonisation. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Mabo decision.
St Finbar's OSHC will join in commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum and the 25th anniversary of the Mabo decision with a range of activities and experiences during National Reconciliation Week 2017. Miss McCurdy, St Finbar's School Sustainability Co-ordinator will also visit the OSHC with the intention of making scarecrows. In light of our commemoration we will use colours that reflect the symbolic meaning of the Aboriginal flag and "yarn" (an Indigenous cultural form of conversation) with children regarding what each colour represents, Aboriginal culture and history. Look out for our new display and learning. As always, your feedback is welcome.

Sunday 28th May The Ascension of the Lord Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ could have continued to appear to groups of followers, century after century – until now! But, he didn’t, because the disciples had to be weaned of his Risen-mode of appearance among them lest they think that the victory over Death is meant for human beings alone. But, as St Paul says, the Risen Lord is the One who ‘fills all creation’ with His power radiating out from his Risen Humanity. However, dis-appearance is not the same as absence. We believe that Our Risen Lord is present in many modes, including as St Paul says ‘ … the Church which is His Body’. That is why the figures in white rebuke the disciples: ‘Why do you stand looking into Heaven?’ The Disciples had, rather, to ready themselves to be the Spirit-filled body of Jesus Christ in their own time and place. As we do. We might pause for a moment to stop staring into Heaven, to ready ourselves to receive the Holy Spirit as at Pentecost in order to be ‘The Church which is His Body.’
