Dear parents and friends,

The Year 2—6 students completed a Citizenship survey last week. This allows

them to make anonymous comments on their fellow students. The total was 78

positive comments and 19 negative. It is always pleasing to see our students

making astute observations about the honesty, integrity, manners and

friendliness of their peers. Many of the Blitz themes were mentioned in the

comments. Each child will be given a one-on-one interview to share the

comments directed. They won’t be told who wrote the specific things about

them, but having their positive behaviours recognised is always a rewarding

experience.

Some of the comments included:

Helps me when I am sad

Bounces back when things don’t go her way

Helps me with my work

Welcomed new students to the school

Picked up rubbish that wasn’t his

Always laughs and smiles when I pass her

Opens the doors when people have their hands full

Helped me pick up my locker when I dropped it

Tries his best at his leadership role

Says nice comments

Helps little kids with their games

Introduces herself to visitors

Always says thank you

He notices when I am down and cheers me up

Helps me when I can’t figure things out

Lets me play when I am bored

Is always kind

Always makes games fun when she joins in

Helps others feel comfortable

Helps me with my work and my running

Helps kids when they are hurt

Is positive

Always does her best

Our new Blitz is ‘Organisation’. We have listed ways children can show

their organisational skills at school to help things run smoothly. This

would also be a great ‘blitz’ to reinforce at home. A copy of the poster

is included in this newsletter.

Next week is our music day at the Hamilton Eisteddfod. Thank you to

all families who have returned the permission slip and the travel ar-

rangements form. We need these forms to be back by Tuesday at the

latest so we can make the necessary arrangements. The bus will de-

part at 9am sharp on Thursday so we are at the PAC in time for our

first event. Please contact Tammy on Monday if you have any issues

with uniform items.

The junior council are organising a casual dress day on Friday, 14th

June. There will be a theme and the money raised will go to a special

cause selected by our junior council representatives. More infor-

mation will be sent home shortly.

We have certainly entered the cold and wet season this week. It has

meant a lot of indoor play and all the heaters have been cranked up.

The school grounds are already showing the benefits of the rain, with

the grass and plants enjoying a drink.

I will be at the principals’ conference in Melbourne on Monday. Mrs

McNaughton will be taking my class.

Have a great weekend,

Anthony Hill

The Year 4/6 class have been working on information re-

ports in class. This is a completed PowerPoint on Edward

‘Weary’ Dunlop completed by Lincon. On the other page

are slides from other children’s projects on Weary.

WHEN WEARY WAS CAUGHT BY THE JAPANESEWeary was in charge of a military hospital until the Japanese army invaded. They fought the allied forces, which was made up of British, Australian and Dutch armies. After the Japanese won control of Java, the staff and patients became prisoners of war.


Thailand railway

On the 20th of march 600 men

were put to work 200 of the men

were unhealthy or very ill. If the a

sick man was to fall he would get

a whip with a bamboo sticks.

They had to dig right through the

centre of the mountain. After they

dug through the mountain they

had to build the train track.

Here are all the men working on

the railway.

WHEN WEARY WAS CAUGHT BY THE JAPANESEWeary was in charge of a military hospital until the Japanese army invaded. They fought the allied forces, which was made up of British, Australian and Dutch armies. After the Japanese won control of Java, the staff and patients became prisoners of war.

THE HARSH CONDITIONSEven though the war in Java was on there were an even harder fight to stay alive in the camp. With the harsh conditions from poor hygiene to little food. There also was the diseases, the hard work for the sick, the bad treatment they got and the sad death. This made it a hard three years for them.

“A Rural Tradition of Excellence”

Eisteddfod – Thursday, 6th June

Children are expected to arrive at school on Thursday dressed in their formal, winter uniform.

Winter formal wear (from the Cavendish PS uniform policy) (This uniform should be worn on more formal occasions such as school photo day, Eisteddfod and whenever the students are performing in public)

Girls Boys . Winter tartan skirt or navy gabardine trousers Navy gabardine trousers Navy tights White polo shirt White polo shirt Navy rugby jumper Navy rugby jumper Black shoes or boots Black school shoes Hair ties, ribbons or bands in navy or white.

Please take care to have shoes brushed and hair neat. Children need to bring all their food and drink requirements with them in their bags, as we will be in Hamilton for all of the day. We will depart at 9.00am sharp. The Eisteddfod program starts at 9.30am and we are in the first section this year. We will need to allow time for unloading our instruments, visiting the toilet and finding our seats. It is impossible to provide accurate times for each section. The program moves on to a new section as each previous section is completed. There is no cost for the children but adults will be charged an admission at the door. MORNING PROGRAM (starts at 9.30am): 1. Sacred Song and Carol (9 competitors in total – each to sing one piece). The whole school is entered in this section. We are competitor number 8. 2. Folk song (there are 8 competitors in this section – each to sing one song). The whole school is entered in this section. We are competitor number 2. 3. Choral Championship (5 competitors – each to sing two pieces). We are not

entered in this section. The lunch break will be called at the conclusion of these choir sections. We will


eat in the PAC supper room and then move into the library/art gallery area for a look at the books/displays. AFTERNOON PROGRAM (starts at 1.30pm):

1. Multi-instrumental section. The whole school is performing in this section (we have entered for two performances). We are competitors numbers 3 and 4 out of 6 entries. This is quite a slow section to complete as each school needs time to assemble instruments on the stage and then remove them at the end of each performance. We will have our marimbas, drum kit and xylophones to organise.

THIS IS WHEN WE PLAN TO SEND ALL YEAR P/1 CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL ON A BUS WITH MS FERRIER AND TAMMY. THEY WILL RETURN TO SCHOOL IN TIME FOR NORMAL DISMISSAL AND WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH THE SCHOOL BUSES AS USUAL.

THE YEAR 2/6 CHILDREN WILL REMAIN BEHIND WITH MRS. BARBER, MISS PURNELL AND MR HILL TO COMPLETE THEIR SECTIONS. THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO CATCH SCHOOL BUSES.

2. Recorder groups (4 to 10 players) – 3 competitors. We have no entries in this

section.

3. Primary school recorder group (10 or more players). We have two entrants – the Year 2/3 and the Year 4/5/6 groups. They are the only two entrants in this section.

4. Recorder consort (4 players). There is only one entrant. We are not in this section.

5. 10 and under recorder solos There are 7 entries in total. We have five competitors (Darcy, Holly Q, Addison, Codi and Lexi)

6. 10 and under recorder duets. Isabel/Sydney and Fletcher/Talia are entered. They

are competitor numbers 2 and 3. There are 3 entries in total.

7. 11 years and over recorder solo. Lincon is entered. He is competitor 3 out of 3.

8. 11 years and over recorder duet. We have Imogen/Mia, Caitlyn/Samantha and Kaidyn/Logan entered. They are competitor numbers 6, 7 and 8 out of 8 entries.

TRANSPORT GRADE 2/6 CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL WITH PARENTS. PLEASE NOTE; PARENTS MAY TAKE THEIR CHILDREN AT ANY STAGE OF THE AFTERNOON ONCE THEY HAVE FINISHED PERFORMING.

9. 11 years and over recorder trio. We have no entries.

When eleven-year-old Juniper May receives a petition signed by her entire class stat-ing that she is ‘the most hated person in the school’ her life is thrown into complete meltdown. Juniper stops eating, she refuses to return to school and her parents be-come increasingly desperate. Finally, after exhausting all other avenues her parents resort to the only thing they have left, a giant singing robot. Based on a true story, Robot Song illustrates the profound, transformative nature of creativity that, when combined with unconditional love, becomes an unstoppable force. For Juniper, creativity opens doors into places she never knew existed, allow-ing her to be defined on her own terms for the first time. Robot Song is a deeply personal story. It shares an honest, intensely funny and often unconventional window into writer/director Jolyon James’ experience parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum. The show poses and attempts to answer the ques-tion, how do we support, foster and celebrate difference in our children in the face of an increasingly rigid and homogenised world? Robot Song is a genuine family show. It is joyful and full of hope. It is for any child who has ever felt isolated or pushed to the margins and any parent desperate for tools to help. The show employs cutting edge digital technology, startling anima-tronics and a beautiful original musical score.

Heat up lunches During Term 2 and 3 students are allowed

to bring in lunch to be heated up on

Mondays and Thursdays

will be here to assist them in re-heating!
