Dear Parents,

This week is Book Week. All students have been working in class with the shortlisted books for this occasion. We will be having our Book Week Parade as part of the Year 1 Assembly on Friday, 26th August. All students can dress up as their favourite book character and are invited to join in the fun. All parents and family members are welcome to join us for the Assembly and the Parade. The Assembly will begin at 9.30am and will be in Mercy Hall.

Next week is our Book Fair. The timetable for this has already been distributed and you can see the information on the notes page of our website. All classes will visit over the next couple of weeks.

This week is the last week of PSSA sport. All students in Years 3-6 will need to bring their sport uniform to school with them because of the Book Week parade. Students who have been part of the dance group for school based sport will be performing at the Performance Assembly in week 9.

Next week the Year 1 students will be taking part in the Water Awareness program. The feedback from this so far has been extremely positive from both staff and parents. All are commenting on how much improvement there was over the 5 day period. Photos are on our galleries page.

This week in Let’s Get Together our Year 6 leaders shared some ideas about how we can encourage others to be the best they can be and always do their best. The word says it all – enCOURAGE – we are given courage by a word or a smile that lifts us to do better. Each child completed a simple challenge and they were encouraged by their group to have a go and enjoy trying to do their best.

The children thought of things they can say to others to encourage them to have a go and be confident in their efforts. Phrases like:

  • You can do it!
  • Keep going!
  • Great job!
  • I know you can do it!
  • You are great!
  • Super effort!
  • It couldn’t be better!
  • You’re amazing!
