Yaama,

What an amazing year Berinba has had on the sports

field. From outstanding school swimming, cross

country and athletics carnivals through to individual

children achieving selection in South Coast Regional

teams to compete at state carnivals it continues to

demonstrate the wide opportunities our children

experience. A very big thank you to the parents who

have helped with transport, coaching and supporting

our kids on and off the field.

I am in the process of signing your children’s half

yearly reports. I always enjoy this time of year when

we share with you the many successes of your

children in their classroom achievements. We are

constantly reviewing our reporting processes and

would love to receive any feedback you may like to

share with the school in regard to the reporting

process we have in place. Reports will be home in the

last week of term.

With winter firmly here we are collecting an amazing

pile of lost clothing. We do try to reunite children with

their lost jackets and jumpers which is made easier if

clothing is labelled. If you have lost contact with a

beloved jumper or jacket pop into the lost property

room, fight your way in and search away. Lost

property is located in the sick bay room near the front

office.

We have had some great news from council with some

new road works to take place on the corner of Grand

Junction Rd and Church St. The works will ensure the

safety of your children as they leave the school and

head across Church St. Works will start on Monday

25th June and traffic control measures will be in place

for the week. School buses will not be affected. The

works will include an island and pinch points to slow

traffic down as they turn into Church St.

A reminder that all payments to the school can now be

made through our school website using the POP

system. We already have about 50% of our payments

made electronically and encourage you to consider

this method. It has proven to be a most secure and

productive method of making payments to the school

for excursions etc.

Term 2, Week 8 May 2018

Whats been happening in KD?

We have been looking at our baby photos and talking about what babies can do.

Then we thought about how we have changed and what we can do now we are at

school.

Every week KD goes to the computer lab. We have been working on the KID

PIX program to create drawings and write words.

We made these pictures by inserting a background, then a text box.

After that we typed our names and printed our picture.

KD have also been learning how to type in their user name and password to log

onto the computer. This week we were very excited because every class

member achieved this milestone.

CONGRATULATIONS KD!

I had the opportunity to go to the Binit Binit writers camp. I found it really Inspiring to meet a published author. It gave me more drive to live my dream as a author. Throughout my stay I learned so much and I am looking forward to writing more stories. By Niamh Lazar
