Dear Parents/Carers, I would like to let you know that I am currently on leave until the end of this month. This will allow me to spend some time with my husband while he receives medical treatment. During my absence, Brendan Bicknell will be Act-ing Principal. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Kind regards Angela Buxton Participation With nearly 20 years experience in education as a classroom teacher, a physical education teacher and now a school leader, I still get goose bumps when I see our kids ‘having a go’ at things that they feel uncomfortable doing! This can range from taking the plunge in social situations and starting a conversation with someone they don’t know, to trying a new sporting activity or even having a go at something new and challenging in class! Last week I observed our Grade 3 and 5 students participate in NAPLAN. This can be a very stressful time! However all our students par-ticipated in the NAPLAN tests to their best. Our EQ program teaches our kids to be ‘Their Best’ not ‘The Best.’ I encourage parents to reflect on their child’s performance in whatever they do and look for them to improve on their performance more so than to prove to you how good they are. As a parent of two girls at Guthrie St, I am proud when they do well, but more so if they have a go and try their best as I know they will be improving. No School - Friday 10th June – Curriculum Day and Monday 13th June – Queen’s Birthday There is no school for children on Friday 10th June. This is a report-writing day for our teachers. The Outside School Hours Care program will op-erate on this day between 8:00am to 6:00pm.

Sibling Enrolment Forms Enrolment forms have been distributed to families today that have siblings due to start at Guthrie St in 2017. If you did not receive an enrolment form please contact the office. Grandparents & Parents Day – Monday 23rd May To celebrate Education Week and share in our learning at Guthrie Street we invite grandparents and parents to come to Assembly and then into our classrooms on Monday 23rd May from 9:15am to 10:45am. Children have been busy preparing an invitation that will provide you with information regarding the class focus. We look forward to sharing this morning with the grandparents and parents of our school community. Division Cross Country Following strong performances at inter-school level Guthrie Street had 16 cross country runners participate in the Zone Cross Country last week. Eleisha Lee (3rd), Max Clohesy (4th), Aloung Akwal (9th), Eliza Bicknell (9th), Daisy Warbuton (11th) and Elly Jeffery (13th) excelled at this event in their respective age groups and will now com-pete at the Region Cross Country Championships in Broadford on Wednesday 15th June.
