From Neva’s Desk Sharon will be away on leave for the following three weeks. During this time I will be replacing her as Principal. If you have any concerns please contact your child’s teacher in the first instance and then a member of the executive team via the school office. A big thank you to the students who marched with our school on ANZAC Day. It is always hard to make this commitment during the holidays so a big thank you to the parents who made this possible for their children. The children were very well behaved throughout the march and ceremony even though the weather was quite warm. The schools ANZAC commemoration was held today where our students honoured those men and women who have participated in wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations around the world. Members of our school staff attended training yesterday. One group attended a wellbeing workshop with various schools from across the region. Another group attended CSU with SCHMIC Consultancy working on learning/thinking feedback. It was a productive day with practical application for classroom practice. When you are next in the school please take the time to take a look at the ground improvements being undertaken at the school entrance in Dalton Street.

Welcome back to Term Two. We hope you had a wonderful holiday and spent some time relaxing time with family and friends.
Term 2 happenings in the library: 22nd May – ALIA National Simultaneous story time. We will have a few classes share this year’s book “Alpacas with Maracas” and participate in some activities.
Book Club There will be two book club issues this term. The first one will be issued in the next couple of weeks and issue 4 will be near the middle of the term.
Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) There were a number of children borrowing extra books before the holidays. I hope you had a chance to read towards your goal.
Congratulations Well done to Matilda Prince and Joseph Prince who both completed their challenge over the holidays. With the cooler weather the library is sure to be a popular spot at lunch time. There is lots of space for reading quietly, using computers, enjoying time at the new construction table and chatting quietly with friends. Enjoy your week. Sue Buttrey Teacher Librarian

Winter Uniform With the colder weather upon us, children are able to wear their full winter uniform. Our School Uniform Shop is open Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30—9:30. Please make sure all clothing is labelled to prevent items going into our Lost Property Box. Alternatively, you can purchase uniform online through Flexischools and your child’s uniform will be delivered to their classroom.
NAPLAN Week 3 NAPLAN assess literacy and numeracy—important skills that each child needs to succeed in school and life. The NAPLAN tests are designed to help us make sure students are on track with their literacy and numeracy development. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in NAPLAN tests for reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. Between 14th and 24th May our school will participate in NAPLAN Online. Students do not need to be computer experts to take the NAPLAN test online. Making sure students have computer skills is part of our school curriculum, and our teachers will ensure your child is familiar with the online format. To see the types of questions and interactive features of NAPLAN Online, visit the public demonstration site. If you have any questions about NAPLAN Online, please contact your child’s teacher.
