FATHERS DAY LITURGY
We hope that all fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other men in the lives of our children had a Happy Father’s Day last Sunday, 4 September.
At Monday morning’s assembly, Year 1 led a special Father’s Day Liturgy. The students read some beautiful prayers for Fathers. They also highlighted a reading from Luke’s Gospel about the time Joseph was worried about Jesus when he was lost in the temple. Congratulations to the Year 1 students and their teachers for recognising this very special day on behalf of our school community.
Some of our Year 1 students completed the following sentences:

FRUIT AND VEG MONTH & WELL BEING WEEK
As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, we are currently in the midst of Fruit & Veg Month.
To coincide with this and well being week, we are encouraging all students to bring in their own fruit snacks this Friday, 9 September. On this day, teachers will take their class outside for a class picnic with fruit.
Here is a list of fruits and when they are in season. As you can see Spring is a great time to be eating fruit.
UNIFORM FOCUS- HOUSE COLOUR COMPETITION
Once again this term we have held our House Colour Competition focusing on uniforms for our whole school reward system.
Each week students are reminded about the uniform focus area every morning during the assembly. During the week teachers check to make sure that students in their class are following that particular focus on uniform. If they are wearing the correct uniform on a certain day that week, teachers provide students with a token for their House Colour. This token is then placed into the canister outside the Community Room.
The winning house will be announced on Tuesday, 20 September. The reward will be provided for students in the winning house on Thursday, 22 September. On this day students from the winning house will be rewarded with a mufti day and zooper dooper.
