Welcome back to Term 2, I hope you all enjoyed your break over Easter (if you got one). It has been great seeing all the students back with big smiles and eager to learn.
We have lots of things happening this term so please regularly check Seesaw, Facebook, email and this newsletter. The Parent calendar has now been sorted, with all important information updated. I apologise for any confusion but for some reason the calendar locked me out and I was not able to make changes. Please speak to your classroom teacher to clarify dates if you are unsure.
Our first major whole school activity will be an ANZAC Memorial Service on Friday 26th April starting at 9.30am. This will be held on the front lawn outside Admin and will include flag raising, prayer, welcome to country and the students singing. Thank you to Miss Marina, Miss Bec and Miss Lucy for organising this activity, which families are welcome to join.
We have decided from this year that we will change Mother's Day to reflect our context of families more appropriately. This year we will have a MAGIC Day morning tea to acknowledge the love of the mothers, aunties, grandmothers and important carers in the lives of our students. Details are on our Facebook page and notes have been sent home. Please make sure you RSVP so we can ensure that we have enough scones for all who wish to attend.
Please keep Father Paul in your prayers. He is currently recuperating in Perth and will more than likely not return to Derby for an extended period. We will keep you updated as we hear what is happening. For those families wishing for their children to participate in the sacraments these will still go ahead as priests have been organised to cover the events.
We look forward to a great term.
God Bless.
Miss Melanie
