Hello again. The first
important news is there
is a PUPIL FREE
DAY FRIDAY 3rd
JUNE. This gives our
teachers the
opportunity to share
ideas and best practice
with other teachers
from schools in the
Riverside Network. In
the afternoon, our
teachers will be
investigating interesting
ways of teaching the
new Geography
curriculum using
resources available
from the WA Museum.
There is also a new
Digital Technology
curriculum being
introduced and I
accompanied Year 5
teacher, Ms Wain, to
learn how to use the
new digital resources
we will receive soon
under the Science,
Technology, Engineering
& Maths (STEM)
initiative. We look
forward to D1 students
showing our teachers
how to use these new
resources to support
learning in the
classroom using
technology.
The C1 assembly about
random acts of kindness
is a timely reminder for
all of our students to
remember the virtue
of kindness. We have
had a long standing
saying „Click off, walk off
& find a teacher‟ if
children find themselves
in situations they don‟t
feel comfortable with in
the playground or
around the school. Our
new buddy bench is a
fantastic way children
can demonstrate
kindness by asking
children to play with
them if they find
someone sitting alone
on the bench.
I would like to take this
opportunity to recognise
the efforts of one our
school officers, Mrs
Emma Charlton, for her
wonderful efforts in
raising money for
cancer research.
Emma has co-ordinated
morning teas across
many schools in the City
of Melville, including
Caralee, and I know the
Mayor has recognised
her efforts. This year the
morning teas have raised
over $9,000 and we
appreciate the work
Emma has put into this
annual event.

Year 6 Fundraising
Well done to all of the Year 6‟s who have
been earning some money to go towards
the end of Year 6 celebrations.
The Student Leadership Group decid-
ed to offer their services to staff and par-
ents, and made their cars shiny and clean. The „clean team‟ washed about 20 cars,
did a great job and raised over $200 — so it was well worth the effort!

The Caralee Ideaz Hunterz were asked the
question, “What would make school cool?”
They came up with a variety of suggestions
and then voted. The most popular choice was
some new soccer goals and heaps of new
sports equipment for the Caralee kids to use!
Great choice guys!

2016 Burley Sekem Design a Jumper Competition
Each year the WAFC, in conjunction with Burley Sekem, run a ‘Design a Jumper’ competition for primary schools across WA. The jumpers are displayed at Domain Stadium and voted on by WAFC staff and stakeholders. Jacie and Callan Albrecht had their designs entered. Unfortunately their designs were unsuccessful, however WAFC and Burley Sekem appreciated their designs and efforts and have awarded the school a Jumpers Grant to the value of $500 to put towards new jumpers for our school. Well done Jacie and Callan!
We will be holding a voting process in the art room for the best design to be printed and made into jumpers. On Friday, 27th May 2016 we had our first Interschool game at Caralee against Riverton. An appreciation goes to all teachers and students who participated in the inter school preparation. Thank you to Shannon Baskerville for umpiring the Hockey, Daren Bell from the East Fremantle Football Club umpiring the Football, Alee Garrett and Anya Demegillo from MSHS umpiring the Netball, and Phil Sumaili umpiring the Soccer. Congratulations to the AFL and Soccer teams for winning their games, and a draw to the Hockey team! On Thursday, 16th June, Caralee Years 4-5 Girls will be playing in an afternoon Netball Carnival at Meville Senior High School. Our prac student Emma Bryant will be conducting netball try outs for the girls this Wednesday, 1st June 2016. 8 lucky girls will be representing Caralee in the A Grade carnival - Good luck to all who try out .

Music & Drama
As we are coming to the end of our rhythm units, the students have been completing written and performance assessments to show what they have learnt. Our performance assessment included an improvisation activity on the African drums. The children enjoyed participating in rhythmic games like ‘Let’s All Play Our Drum’ & ‘Don’t Clap This One Back’ before demonstrating their improvisation skills with the rhythms they have learnt.
Choir
Well done to the choir for a successful performance at this year’s ‘Singfest’. I was so proud to see the students get up there and perform ‘Feels Like Going Back Home’ for the audience & I can’t wait to start pre-
paring for our next performance.
Miss Rhiannan Longley, Music Specialist
Art
The art room is looking spectacular this term with all the children's space designs. Students have been using different medias and techniques such as edicol dyes, clay, splatter painting, collages, 3D and 2D
designs, line drawings etc. Please come in and have a look at the children's work.
Years 4-6 students have their last art assignment for the term; they have a free choice artist. This term they were given either Salvador Dali or Pablo Picasso. Once again, I have been receiving some breath taking pieces and am currently still in the process of marking and returning their grades. Just a reminder to students to make sure that they take their time with their assignments as it goes towards their overall assess-ment grades and also towards a mini excursion in Term 4. Students have three weeks to complete an assign-ment and they can come see myself or Sam Atkins for assistance or materials.
