Principal’s Reflection

Dear Families,

Children were reminded at assembly this week about the importance of treating others with

love, respect and kindness at all times, which is part of our Making Jesus Real (MJR)

programme. Each week at assembly we have an award called the MJR award that is given

to a member of the school community who displays the above mentioned qualities and puts

enthusiasm, energy and happiness into our school and is a team player. Refer to page 2 of

the newsletter to see who will receive the MJR award this week.

A big thank you to the students, staff and parents for their involvement in our Holy Spirit Feast

Day, last week. The day was a great community event where we were all reminded how the

Holy Spirit touches all our lives and makes our school so special.

Next week marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. The week offers an

opportunity for all Australians to focus on reconciliation and celebrate the rich culture and history of Indigenous

Australians. Our students will celebrate this week in a number of ways including a special assembly, guest

presenters and a Reconciliation Morning tea hosted by our Years 5/6 students and teachers along

with Jenny Kuhl our Indigenous Student Support Worker. The Reconciliation morning tea is open to

all members of our community and will be held on Monday 29th May at from 9:30-10:30am. We

pray that the Spirit will gather all people as one family, one community and one nation.

There is much enthusiasm across the Year 5/6 classes in the lead up to school camp at Camp

LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW Year 3/4, Rm.13 with Miss Kelsey

Welcome to room 13! We are having a very busy term so far in

year 3/4, exploring new concepts and investigating interesting

things!

This term we have been learning skills in coding, and doing

different activities to learn coding skills. Last week, we made

mazes which students had to code their way through using a set

of specific symbols. We have also been doing lots of fun activi-

ties with our buddies. On Friday, Holy Spirit feast Day, we

were lucky enough to team up with room 8 to participate in lots

of fun activities. SNAPPY SIX

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT POLICY – UPDATE

Dear Parents/Carers,

A focus for our school in 2016 was to update our Positive

Behaviour Support Policy and Agreed Practices with support

from staff, students and members of our School Board.

To ensure all members of Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School

are informed and updated, information will be provided through

our weekly newsletter explaining policy and procedures in

place. We encourage you to take the time each week to discuss

this as a family. Please do not hesitate in speaking with

classroom teachers or members of school leadership for

clarification as required.

Kind Regards,

Paula Sellars

Deputy Principal

Positive Behaviour Update 16:

Playground Expectations

At Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School we:

Respect ourselves and each other

Respect all property

Respect our environment

Our Playground Policy explains the above points in further

detail.

While out in the playground students are encouraged to play/

socialise with their peer group while keeping in mind our Holy

Spirit Positive Behaviour Support Agreed Practices. There are

three teachers out on duty to provide duty of care, as well as

support students as required. While out playing, students may

receive a Red Card for inappropriate behaviour. A reminder

that when this occurs an Incident Report will be sent home and

student will then be required to participate in Community

Service during lunch.

In addition, our teachers are also on the lookout for positive

behaviour which can be recognised and acknowledged at our

weekly assembly with a Making Jesus Real (MJR) award.

At Holy Spirit, we promote and encourage positive behaviour

from all members of our school community. Our staff is there

to guide and act as a positive role model to assist students in

their decision making when out in the playground.

Next week – Student Wellbeing/Pastoral Care
