FROM THE PRINCIPAL

INDUSTRIAL ACTION - MONDAY

Berri Primary School will be open but providing a modified education program for the whole of the school day on Monday 1 July 2019 due to a vote for industrial action by members of the Australian Education Union at this site.

The Education Director has approved the provision of a modified program on the grounds that there will be sufficient staff on duty to enable me to ensure that adequate standards of student safety and welfare can be provided.

Families can send their children to the site as normal. Modified education programs will be provided to students for the whole of the school day. This means that groups of students will be supervised but regular classes will not take place. Normal education programs will resume on Tuesday 2 July 2019.

Please contact Berri Primary School if you have any questions regarding this.

Students and staff have handmade over 1000 felt hearts in the Library this term. The idea was

brought to us by Rhonda, a wonderful volunteer we are lucky to have at Berri Primary. The 1000

Hearts movement was created by a lady in Tasmania wanting to spread hope and kindness. Years

5, 6 and 7 students had the opportunity to volunteer to make hearts during their lunchtimes, one for

themselves and the others to give away. We call our hearts ‘Pocket Hearts’ and they are meant to

be given to others in need of a little extra kindness and hope.

Last week students and staff were interviewed by the Murray Pioneer about our fabulous wellbeing

activities. We were also able to do our first ‘donation’ of hearts to PsychMed. We are looking at

doing more deliveries/donations next week. If you know of an organisation that is helping people

that might need our pocket hearts, please let us know and we’ll get on to it.

As always, if you’d like to volunteer and be part of our Library activities, we’d love to hear from you.

Cheers,

Faye and Tanya F
