Principal News
All students to return to school It was fantastic to see nearly all our students return to school this week as school starts to get back to ‘normal’. The students are busy settling into the usual routines and the teachers are settling their classes and engaging the students in valuable learning opportunities.
A reminder for all work packs to be returned to class teachers to analyse and offer feedback. It is a requirement that students who stayed at home on school days demonstrate a continuity of learning through their work packs or online activities. The work pack return will provide evidence of ongoing learning. Unfortunately, if such evidence is not shown, the students’ attendance will be marked as unauthorised leave. This is a Department of Education policy.
National Reconciliation Week National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. This week runs from 27 May to 3 June. Our students will participate in some learning about this in their scheduled library lessons during this week and next.
National Simultaneous Storytime – Dress up day
What a fantastic day! Lots of students came dressed up as their version of a Diva! The school certainly was a colourful place with many creative Divas on site on Wednesday. This was part of the National Simultaneous Storytime which is an event that that is held annually at school. Each year the Australian Library and Information Association selects a book by an Australian author and illustrator. This year Libraries across Australia simultaneously shared “Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas” by Lucinda Gifford.
Canteen resumes
Our P&C canteen resumes Friday week, 5th June, with the all-time favourite, Spaghetti Bolognaise as the special of the day. A reminder that parents need to pre-order on paper bags and hand in to the school on the Thursday prior to canteen day. Please write the name of your child and menu items clearly on the bags. Correct money is preferred. Please wash or sanitise any cash before you place into the bag to assist our volunteers when sorted to remain safe. The overall menu is located in the P&C section of this Bulletin. The P&C are also seeking volunteers to assist in the canteen each Friday. If you can help please contact the P&C.
Library Borrowing and Home Readers
Unfortunately, this program is on hold for the time being as it is difficult managing the cleansing or sanitising of books as they are returned to school from many home environments. Once we have the clearance to resume borrowing, we will let you know. Students can make use of the PM Reader account that the school has purchased for each child for the time being. Have a great week and an enjoyable term, Allan Duroux

Garden News
It has been good to see the garden continuing to grow. Last week we harvested radish, silver beet and
lettuce. This week we will be doing the same, as well the snow peas may provide the first peas from the
trellis bed if they grow any higher we may need a stepladder.
We have cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, beetroot and multi coloured silver beet all growing well. The
strawberries are settling in well and already we have a few flowers appearing.
