Term 2, Week 9

Welcome to week 9!
3 more weeks to go! I know some of you a heading north to the warm and I am very jealous. On a positive note, the mighty Dockers had a win on Saturday which is fantastic!

Eucharist Commitment Mass:
Thank you to all the families that attended the commitment mass on Saturday. Father Francis provided us with a beautiful ceremony and the manners from the students receiving pizza afterwards was fantastic. So thank you!

Meals after wheels:
Tuesday 15th June - students are invited to bring their skateboards and scooters to school for a roll around after lunch on Tuesday. Please make sure they area also bringing appropriate safety equipment. All items are to be placed near Mr Lee's office.

Tree Planting:
We are off tomorrow! We will be leaving school at 11am so please pack recess and lunch for your child as normal. We will have recess before we go but will have lunch whilst we are out at the planting site.
The weather is looking a little shaky so please make sure that your child has a pair of long pants to wear (possibly change into before we leave if they prefer, a long sleeved shirt or jumper and a rain jacket if possible.
I would also suggest throwing in a towel in case we do get a little damp they can wrap it around to help keep themselves dry. 

Cross Country:
Thursday 17th June - Please make sure that your child wears their faction shirt on this day...the Year 3's will start us off and then it will be the Year 1's turn. 
Providing the weather stays good, we will stay out to watch the other competitors. Parents are most welcome to join us to watch, please note that the bottom gravel carpark is unavailable.

Church Tour:
Friday - 18th June - We will be walking down to the church in our separate classes to spend some time with Fr Francis learning more about the church and important places and spaces. We will be heading down around 11am but will return in time for Dance at 12!

Eagles Heritage Excursion:
The week before last we had a fantastic time visiting Eagle Heritage Wildlife Centre. We learnt so much, I know I did! Kate Garcia took some excellent photos on the day and I will try and get them sent out or available. They are brilliant. Thank you Kate.

Week 9 - Home Learning Information/Support

Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. It has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
