CURRENT FOCUS
Goal Setting - 56P
Setting goals is an important skill to learn not only for school, but also in
life.
Goals give us something to work towards and they help decide the
steps we need to take.
It is important that your goals are realistic, achievable, and not too
easy.
You can set goals to achieve almost anything and by working hard you
can make them come true.
Make sure you check in on your progress, make changes, and
celebrate when you achieve a goal.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
• P-4 Expo and Incursion
• Parent Opinion Survey
• X-Country – State Finals
• Cultural Awards
• Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews
Last Thursday and Friday, the P-2 students were
involved in a Toy Expo and Puppet Incursion as part of
their Integrated Unit. The creativity on display
through the toy projects and the enthusiasm of the
students was wonderful to see. All Prep, One and Two
students should feel very proud of their
achievements.
We welcome Mr Francis Comber back into our school
for the remainder of the year as teacher of 5/6S. Mr
Comber is replacing Sarah Bourke who is heading off
on family leave. We wish Sarah and her husband all
the best for this wonderful time in their lives. We look
forward to hearing all about parenthood, and we
know that 5/6S is in good hands with Francis.
Last week, some families will have received a sealed
envelope with the Parent Opinion Survey enclosed.
This is an anonymous survey given to a computer-
generated sample of families. If you received this
survey, I ask you to take the time to complete this
and return it ASAP. This is very valuable information
that we take very seriously. We always welcome
feedback and an opportunity to improve our school.
At assembly this week we celebrated the
achievements of James (53rd
out of 83), Charlotte
(27th
out of 85) and Sebastian (1st
out of 15) who ran
in the Cross-Country State Finals in Bundoora last
week. These children have trained hard over the past
few months and did themselves and our school very
proud. In particular, Sebastian has qualified for the
national event in Canberra – an outstanding
achievement. A timely reminder to us all of what
setting and working hard towards goals can help us
achieve.
Congratulations must also go to the sixteen Year 3-6
students who received Semester 1 Cultural Awards
this week. These children were recognised for their
commitment to the areas of Choir, Performing Arts,
Visual Arts and LOTE (Italian). They have displayed an
ongoing effort ‘above and beyond’ and again, should
feel very proud of their work ethic and achievement
thus far in these areas. See the attached list of
recipients for each area and year level.
Finally, thank you to those parents and students who
attended the parent-teacher-student interviews on
Wednesday; an invaluable opportunity to discuss with
your child and their teachers progress to date and
their goals for the future. It has been so good to hear
the students articulate their goals and strategies for
achieving them.

“HEALTHY LUNCHBOX TIPS”
For a healthy lunchbox always include a bottle of water. No need for sweetened drinks such as juice, cordial or soft drink as these contain too much sugar which is not good for teeth. Non-water drinkers usually start drinking water with the example of other children.
