IMPORTANT DATES

Dear Families,

Each Tuesday and Wednesday after school the St Paul’s Staff engage in Professional Learning. Currently the St Paul’s Staff are working through a document called Horizons of Hope. Horizons of Hope is the new education framework for the Archdiocese of Melbourne and will support Catholic school communities to engage in dialogue about the distinctive nature of teaching, leading and designing learning in our schools. The framework is a living document that will be added to over coming months and years with examples of practice from schools, as well as additional strategy statements in the areas of Leadership, Wellbeing, Diversity, and Religious Education. For more information I encourage you to visit the Catholic Education Melbourne website and scan through the document at http://www.cem.edu.au/learning-teaching/

School Improvement - SCHOOL GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS I have great news. Following the roof works being carried out last school holidays, and to be continued these school holidays, the tender for the library and Year 5/6 classroom refurbishments works is being prepared this week and will be sent to builders. Further to this, in consultation with staff and members of the School Advisory Board, we have begun plans for displaying our Art Mural, created by the 2016 students.

School Improvement - SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT SURVEYS As part of our ongoing commitment to school improvement, we have distributed our annual School Improvement Surveys this week. These surveys are completed by staff, parents and Year 5/6 students. All St Paul’s families will be issued with a parent survey to be completed online. It is hoped that a parent from every family can find time to complete the short survey.

The survey is now open and we ask that it be completed by FRIDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER.

This process forms a significant part of our continuous measure of School Improvement. This is an anonymous survey that genuinely seeks your opinion of our school across a range of areas. Feedback from our parents, students and staff will be analysed and these

reports will help us to celebrate what we are doing well in our school, as well as give us some strategic directions for school improvement.

School Community - EMERALD BBQ We thank Mary Larkin for coordinating last Saturday’s Emerald BBQ through Emerald Meats. We thank the families that ran the BBQ last weekend, generously donating their time - Giudice, Mattucci, van den Bos, and Nelson— Thank you!

School Community - WORKING BEE This Saturday from 8:30am - 11:00am we will conduct our Working Bee. We thank the following families for volunteering this Saturday - Hall, Jennings, Larkin, Van Kampen, Hooper, Cook and Bohun.

Learning and Teaching: Professional Learning SCHOOL CLOSURE DAY—Friday 8 September As communicated previously, there will be a School Closure Day on Friday, 8 September. On this day school staff will visit Chirnside Park Primary School to observe literacy in action. Following the visit, we will return to St Paul’s and engage in further learning with Di Wilkinson (Literacy Consultant) on our literacy pedagogy.

Extra Curricula - PIED PIPER PHOTOS Ms Paula Hogan took some terrific photos throughout the day last Thursday. I am happy to send out the photos of your child through email to you. We tried our best to capture each student in some way, and if you email me with the subject line: “Pied Piper Photos Please”, I will check the photos and send any of your child to you. This could take a few weeks depending on how many emails I get! So I ask for patience, thanks. Please email: [email protected] by 3:30pm Friday, 25 August. We respectfully request that if your child is in a photo with other children that the photo does not go up on social media unless permission from other parents is granted.

PIED PIPER DVD: DVDs can be ordered from “School Memories Captured” for the pre-paid price of $25. Envelopes were sent home previously, and are available at the office.

2018 PREP ENROLMENT INTERVIEWS This week we will complete all 2018 Prep Family Enrolment Interviews. We look forward to welcoming our new Prep students and are thrilled that these young people will join our community. If you know of any families that are still undecided please encourage them to call the office and book a tour at St Paul’s - I am always very happy and proud to show prospective families around!

School Community - THE GREAT COMMUNITY RAFFLE Thank you to our P&F, particularly Sally Zylinski, for coordinating the Great Community Raffle with Ferntree Gully Nissan. Last Tuesday we received $1,142.00 and we thank all families for supporting this initiative. Kind Regards,

P&F meeting tomorrow—Friday, 25 August in the Meeting Room at 8.45am.

All welcome.

Get your orders in for Dad’s Big Brekkie next Friday, 1 September

This year children can order a $3 bacon and egg roll for breakfast with Dad

before class, in our special Fathers Day celebration from 8am to 8.45am

next Friday. Your orders should be in by now. Dad/Grandpa/special friends

get their roll for free, and can buy a coffee or hot chocolate from The Kellie

Bean coffee cart – as can teachers and Mums who are at school on Friday

morning.

Bring some money for Fathers Day stall—Friday, 1 September

On behalf of the P&F, Sarah K has bought a great range of small gifts for

the children to buy a Fathers Day present on the same day as the Dad’s Big

Brekkie, in the foyer at school. Children will be brought from class to choose

their present, so make sure you send them with some change. We will have

a couple of raffle items too, but the number of tickets children are permitted

to buy will be restricted, so that they don’t spend all their money in the hope

of winning! If you can help with running the stall between 8.30am and

midday, please let the office or Sarah know.
