From the Principal…

Dear Parents and Children,

Welcome back everyone. I hope each and every one of you had a safe and happy Easter break and enjoyed the extra family time that Easter brings to us all.

Wednesday Assembly

As we return to school, we are still deeply involved in the events of Easter. At tomorrow’s Assembly our Prep children will lead our school community in continuing the Easter story that was commenced by our Juniors at the last assembly of Term One. A reminder that our Assemblies can only go ahead if the weather is favourable. If it is raining in the morning and we are forced to postpone our assembly, we will send out a notification though our St Oliver’s App as soon as possible. Once again thank you to all of the families who supported the Easter raffle last term and congratulations to all of the winners. The raffle was a great success and once again thank you to our magnificent Parent Association members who organised the raffle and prepared all of the Easter Baskets.

EDUCATION IN FAITH

CARITAS Thank you to all the families who generously donated to Project Compassion our fundraiser for term one. The school community raised the amount of $1800:00. This will surely make a difference to the lives of many disadvantaged people. WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY The prep children will be leading the assembly this Wednesday, focusing on a song about The Resurrection to highlight the church season of Easter. RECONCILIATION The parent information evening for the sacrament of Reconciliation is next Monday 18 April at 7:00 in the in the school in Senior L. The meeting is for parents only and an information pack regarding the sacrament will be distributed on the evening. CLASS MASS This week Middle B will be attending the class Mass on Thursday 14 April at 10:00. Any parents and family members are welcome to attend and sit with their children and join them in prayer. Trish Segrave Religious Education Leader

SPORT

SOCCER CLINICS FOR JUNIOR AND MIDDLE STUDENTS:

Sporting Schools is a $100 million Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport and to connect children with community sport. The Australian Sports Commission has provided us with a grant that we will use towards soccer clinics for the Junior and Middle classes for the beginning of term 2. As part of this program, Melbourne City FC have engaged Impact Soccer as one of the providers to deliver fun and rewarding coaching sessions. Our Junior and Middle students are lucky enough to get to participate in this wonderful experience. We ask that Junior students wear their P.E uniform on Thursdays and that Middle students wear their P.E uniform of Fridays. This is a great initiative and we look forward to seeing the students in action in the South Yard over the coming weeks. Please see the below timetable for your reference:

WELLBEING

This term I am asking for support once again in the way of meals for families in need at our school. If you are able to help out with an extra meal for a family of six, especially over the next few weeks, I know the family would be extremely grateful. Please email me or catch up with me at school for details. [email protected] PARENTING INSIGHTS This week his insight looks at ‘Easing children’s anxiety’. Anxiety is often spoken about by parents as a major concern. Michael Grose sees it as a major part of everyday life so we need to learn to cope with it and learn strategies to best support our children when they become overwhelmed or anxious.
