Dear parents and friends,
We are all looking forward to coming together as a school community this
evening to farewell Kerrie Jones at a barbecue. Kerrie has been a wonderful
servant of the school over many years. She has always been exceptional in her
work and has been positive in her relationships with staff, students and
parents. Kerrie has been a major asset to our school. Although she would never
wish to have a fuss made, we are grateful that we can say a formal thank you to
her for her service.
Our Year3/4 Hoop Time basketballers had a great day at HILAC yesterday. This
was their first experience of competition basketball and it took a while for them
to adapt to the speed and physical nature of the game. Miss Purnell reported all
players improved significantly as the day progressed and the boys and girls
returned to school today full of chat about their experiences.
The Parents’ Club will be running a kids movie night at the Hall on Friday, 3rd
August. The movie will start at 7pm in the Supper Room.
Tickets are available from the office for the Mamma Mia on Friday 10th August.
Please buy your tickets now for this event from the school office. All profits will
go towards the school’s camp costs for this year—this will mean a reduction in
the cost per child.
Don’t forget that Monday, 6th August is a pupil free day for all Cavendish
students. This is one of our designated days for staff training. The teachers will
be at school working on their coding skills and learning more about using the
ClearTrack system for children’s assessment data.
There are several days over the coming months when Miss Purnell and Ms
Ferrier will be out of the school for training events, as mentioned in the
newsletter at the end of last term. They are undertaking a Department training
program on Professional Learning Communities, as was recommended to our
school following last year’s review. I shall also be out for some of these days as
well. The first of these days will be the 7th and 8th of August. The next dates are
in September. We are fortunate that we have replacement teachers, available
who know our students well when our regular teaching staff are absent.

Thank you to everyone who has returned their school photo order
forms. It is only two weeks until we have our school photos taken. All
students will need to wear their formal winter uniform on photo day.
Don’t forget to collect a family photo order form if you wish your chil-
dren to have a family portrait taken on the 10th.
The annual Book Fair will be held during the week of 13th to 17th Au-
gust. A collection of books will be on display during this time and will
be available for purchase. This is a lead-up to National Book Week
during the following week. Our main day of celebration will be Thurs-
day, 23rd August. All the children are invited to dress-up as a book
character. We will be walking down to the Kindergarten to join with
the children there for our morning parade of costumes. This shall also
coincide with the official launch of the Little Book Box outside the
Kinder.
Our initial plan to have soccer for our term 3 Sporting Schools pro-
gram was unsuccessful owing to difficulties in obtaining a suitably
qualified coach. We have managed to secure the services of Grant
O’Callaghan instead and will now run a tennis program for this term.
Grant travels from Melbourne to this area each week to conduct spe-
cialist tennis coaching in Hamilton. We have managed to get Grant to
come to our school for four weeks during lunchtimes to take groups
of children for tennis. The first session will be on Monday, 13th Au-
gust. As this program will occur in school time, there is no need for
the usual permission notes. The first lesson will be for the Year 2-4
children. The Year 5/6 will have a lesson on Monday, 20th; the P/1
will be on 27th and the lucky Year 2-4 will have a second session on
September 3rd. The equipment will be supplied and the lessons will
take place in the school stadium. Children who own their own rac-
quets are welcome to bring them along for the lessons.
There will be a busy couple of days for our senior students at the end
of next month. On Thursday, 30th some students are representing
our school at the inter-school golf tournament at Parklands in Hamil-
ton. These students were selected following the visit by golf pro, Tony
Collier last term. On the same day, the remaining Year 5/6 students
shall also be in Hamilton to attend a mini-parliament session, held at
the Showgrounds. This session is run by representatives of the Parlia-
ment of Victoria and engage the children in a mock parliamentary de-
bate. These sessions are always first class and very educational and
enjoyable. The following day is the inter-school chess tournament .
Notes will be distributed over the next week or two to children who
have shown interest and skills in chess. Last year Cavendish took
eleven students to the tournament.
Have a great weekend,
Anthony Hill

Addison’s show-and-tell
Sometimes show-and-tell can be a toy or a souvenir from a
recent experience. For Addison’s show-and-tell, she had
something from the other side of the world! She was able to
present her grandparents from Canada who are currently
visiting the Nettleton family in Australia. The children in
the class were able to hear about the time difference be-
tween Canada and Australia, how maple syrup comes from
tree sap, how much snow falls in Canada’s winters, and all
sorts of other interesting information. Addison was very
proud to be able to present her grandparents for show-and-
tell!

Jump Rope for Heart kicks off this term!
Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity
and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Founda-
tion for 35 years. It’s a great way for your child to keep fit and
learn new skills, but it also helps raise funds for vital heart re-
search and education programs.
Since Jump Rope for Heart started in 1983, schools like ours have raised more than $75 million for the Heart Foundation’s lifesaving work. It’s important you register your child online, so they can receive the full benefits of the program and participate in online fund-raising, simply follow the link below to get started. https://jumprope.heartfoundation.org.au/register Students will be skipping throughout the term in PE lessons and
during lunch break, during this time you can share their online
fundraising page with family and friends to help raise money for
this great cause.
We will hold our school Jump Off Day on Friday 7th
September. This w ill ma r k the end of the pr og r a m a nd
is a chance for everyone to come together to skip and show off
their newly learned skills.
Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program!

Yesterday the superstar team of Year 3/4 children,
the Cavendish Cats, participated in the local Hoop
Time tournament at HILAC. This was the first expe-
rience of competitive basketball for all these players.
It often takes a while for younger players to become
accustomed to basketball, especially for our netball-
ers to make adjustments to their game style.
Their first game was against Gray St and they lost 10
to 2. In the second game the team became better at
their dribbling and their defensive skills. This match
was against Tarrington and Cavendish won 4 to 2.
The third game was against Macarthur on the main
court, which was a great experience. By this stage of
the tournament the team was really getting used to
playing basketball together. The game was very
close, with Macarthur narrowly winning 4 to 2. as
always, the Cavendish basketballers looked amazing
in their singlets and all the team reported they had a
great day. Well done to all the boys and girls, and to
Miss Purnell and the parents who helped with
scoring and management all day.
We look forward to hearing how our Year 5/6 team
get on during their Hoop Time matches on Monday.

Echo and Narcissus
Echo was a nymph. A nymph who heard every little bit of gossip. Every
time Echo heard the latest gossip she went and told Hera the goddess so
that she wouldn’t find out that Zeus, Hera’s husband’ was cheating on her
with a nymph. One day Hera found out and took Echo’s voice away so she
could only say the last words that she heard. So Echo set off trying to find a
home until she found a little cave to sleep in. The next sunny day Echo was
wandering around her cave, trying to hear the shepherds and hunters
words so she can try and speak to them. All of a sudden she found a man
lost from his men. She hid behind a bush and then Narcissus, the son of the
river god, came along. When Narcissus turned around Echo instantly fell in
love with him. Echo stepped back but then Narcissus heard Echo.
And he yelled out, “Where are you?”
Echo said, “You.”
Narcissus said, “Come out whoever you are.”
So at that moment Echo ran out with her arms open to hug him. But then
Narcissus screwed up his lips and said, “I could never love you nymph.”
So Echo ran back to her cave and cried and cried until her bones where
stone but her voice stayed perfectly fine and you can hear her voice still to-
day.
A nymph cursed Narcissus that he would get rejected. One day Narcissus
found a lovely pond to have a drink after a hard day at hunting. So Narcis-
sus sat down and cupped his hand ready for a drink until he saw a person
in the water. Narcissus said, “Water spirit come to me.”
So he went to grab his reflection but as soon as he touched the water the
spirit disappeared. But when the ripples stopped the spirit appeared so
Narcissus went to kiss his reflection. As soon as his lips touched the water
the spirit disappeared so Narcissus sat there and sat there until he died.
But when the nymphs of the forest came to bury him there was no bones,
nothing only a flower where Narcissus the son of the river god had laid.

My life
Every day I am in my kennel waiting for my owners
to come out and play with me, though on the
school days and work days it seems very lonely. Not
when the guinea fowls are carrying on.
I know when it’s the weekends because I hear Imo-
gen, Lexi and Emma getting ready. I hear the door
SLAM and boots being pulled off the boot rack, and
foot steeps coming down the stairs and through the
stones on to the concrete and running. I jump up
and down in my kennel barking for them to come,
though they have to get through the rams first.
Then they get my lead, open the gate and clip it on
my collar and off we go. We walk down and up the
hills and walk to the dam and turn around to go
back home.

WALT: write from another perspective.
Hi, our names are Diesel and Storm. We are miniature
Galloways. The afternoons are our favourite times of the
day. Our loving owner is always there when it is feeding
time.
She gives us mouth-watering muesli that we would die
for. It is so good because it is smothered in delicious mo-
lasses! She also gives us big bundles of hay. If Indi is ever
late for feeding time we tell her and keep on telling her
until she comes. Indi makes our furry coats clean and un-
tangled. Sometimes Indi comes with a big book and pencil
and draws awesome pictures of us while we’re eating. We
sometimes pose for her, I think we look great!
We sometimes go mad when Indi comes to feed us and
run up to her. We usually kick our legs in the air with ex-
citement. We sometimes get carrots as well. They are
yummy.
We love our owner! And food.

ECHO AND NARCISSUS
In Greek Myth Echo, a nymph, was condemned by Zeus’s wife to only repeat the last
word or syllable that someone said. She was banished from the kingdom so she went to
live in a cave. Echo would her hunters and would and could only say the last word
that they would say.
One day Narcissus came walking around separated from his friends. Echo would
watching, in love with Narcissus. Echo was following Narcissus when all of a sudden
Narcissus found out something or someone was watch him. He was saying words but on-
ly would hear the last word that he was saying repeated back by Echo. Echo eventu-
ally ran with her arms out to cuddle Narcissus for his love but he rejected her. So
she went and sobbed in her cave. Lots of other nymphs were rejected by Narcissus.
One day a nymph got rejected so she casted a spell on Narcissus to make him feel
rejected. Thirsty Narcissus came across a pool of water. With his hands cupped and
ready to drink the water he saw a beautiful face in the pool. He said something and
only the pool god moved his lips in silence. He went to kiss the lips but they disap-
peared. (It was actually his reflection in the pool but he didn’t know.) He went to
grab the person in the water and it disappeared. He laid there sobbing by the pool and
all the nymphs cried as well and Narcissus faded away.
When the nymphs came to find him there was nothing there, not even bones. There
was just a flower there which they named after him.

ADVISING SCHOOL OF ABSENT STUDENTS
Please remember that from the be-
ginning of this term it is a require-
ment that the school contacts fam-
ilies on the day of an absence if we
haven’t been informed of the ab-
sence. The easiest way to over-
come unnecessary administration
time for our school is for families
to send through a phone call or a
text on the morning of a child’s ab-
sence. A message left on the an-
swering machine is quite accepta-
ble on the days when Tammy isn’t
in the office.
