Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
Next week our school will be having a focus on 'Well-being' to coincide with RUOK Day on 10 September. Especially during this time of having to follow so many restrictions, it is particularly important that we keep an eye out for anyone who may be experiencing some difficulty in coping. Having our children play a part in this will help to educate them in being aware of others and to offer them support. This matches very well to our Good Samaritan value of 'listening.'
On Thursday 10 September, the children are able to come to school dressed in mufti yellow (the colour of RUOK Day), or bright, cheery coloured clothes. Also, each student will be given a 'Positive Self-Talk Journal' to work through during Mindfullness each day next week.
We encourage you to talk about the meaning behind RUOK Day with your children. Their website (https://www.ruok.org.au/) is a good source of information for you.
Change of uniform
With the weather starting to change, from now until the end of term, children are able to wear either the summer or winter school uniform. Please do not send them in a combination of both (eg long pants with short sleeved summer shirt).
From the start of Term 4, all children will need to be wearing the summer school unifrom.
Father's Day Stall
Once again I would like to pass on my thanks to the P & F for providing the children with the opportunity to purchase a gift for dad. Just a reminder that gifts will be delivered to the school for the children to take home. Please contact the office if you need to make alternate arrangements to get the gift home.
For all our dads, I offer this prayer:
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
Wishing you a safe week.
God bless.
