O God, strength of those who hope in you,

graciously hear our pleas,

and, since without you mortal frailty can do nothing,

grant us always the help of your grace,

that in following your commands

we may please you by our resolve and our deeds.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy

Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen. (Ref:Liturgyhelp.com)

Year 1 Family/Parish Mass Our next Family/Parish Mass will be celebrated on

especially Year 1, are welcome. Mass will be

Year of Mercy Tree

Throughout the last couple of weeks, Year 4 has

been promoting ‘respect’ as our next value for our

‘Mercy Tree’. What does it mean to be respectful?

How can I be more respectful? The students have

constructed a display of a brick wall about respect.

This wall is displayed on the windows outside the

library. They have also contributed to our ‘Mercy

Tree’ located on the large display wall in the open

learning area.

SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Parent/Teacher Interviews

Parent/Teacher interviews

for Kindergarten to Year 6

will be in Week 10 of this

term. At these 15 minute

interviews, parents will

receive their child’s school

report which explains his/her progress in the Key

Learning Areas of Religious Education,

English, Mathematics, Human Society and Its

Environment, Science and Technology, Creative

Arts and Personal Development, Health and Physical

Education. The reports using the E-A scale are for

Years 1-6 while Kindergarten use a school-designed

report.

An information session about the E-A scale and

reports will be held on Tuesday, 21st June at

2.15pm. This session will be of particular

interest to Year 1 parents as it could be their first

year of E-A reports.

The process for booking a parent/teacher interview is

outlined below:

Please go to:

www.schoolinterviews.com.au

Enter school event code: 8k84f

Enter your details: Full Name, Email Address,

Child’s name and surname

(this is the only information required for your child).

Please ensure you book an interview time with the

correct classroom teacher and allow 15 minutes (1

time slot) between bookings if you have more than

one child.

Please be aware that at the Parent/Teacher

Interviews, children will not be supervised by

teachers. If they do come along with their parents

they must wait inside the classroom during the

interview. Children are not to be playing or waiting

outside without parental supervision. The interviews

are of 15 minutes duration and if you need to discuss

your child’s work further, an extra appointment will

need to be made for a later date.

School Canteen

Our school canteen will

reopen next week,

Tuesday, 14th June. The

operator is Mel's Tasty

Bites.

www.melstastybites.com

Please check their

website for menu and

online ordering.

The canteen will be open

5 days a week and lunch

orders may be made:

online

through a lunch order in class (as current system)

over the counter (although this may be restricted to

what is available).

Whooping Cough

There has been another case of whooping cough

reported to the school this week. If your child is

coughing it would be advisable to visit the doctor for

a swab test.

Coughing spreads the infection to others nearby.

Whooping cough caught at school can spread to any

younger brothers and sisters at home. Whooping

cough can be especially dangerous for babies.

Whooping cough starts like a cold and progresses to

bouts of coughing that can last for many weeks.

Older children may just have a cough that is

persistent and is worse at night. The infection can

occur even in fully-vaccinated children.

Children with symptoms should see a GP.

If your doctor diagnoses whooping cough, please

let the school know and keep your child at home

until they have taken 5 days of antibiotics. Keep

coughing children away from babies.

Whooping cough vaccines give good protection

against infection but immunity fades. If your school-

aged child has younger siblings, it’s a good idea to

check that they are up to date with their vaccines.

A The student has extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In addi-

tion, the student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to

new

situations.

B

The student has thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the process-

es and skills. In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills in most situations.

C The student has a sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate

level of competence in the processes and skills.

D The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a limited level of competence

in the processes and skills.

E The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in few areas of the content and has achieved very lim-

ited competence in some of the processes and skills.

School Fees

School fees for Term 2 are now overdue. If you do

not have a Flexible Payment Plan, please finalise

your account as soon as possible. This will avoid

your account being transferred to the Catholic

Education Office.

OLOL School Canteen -

Mel’s Tasty Bites

I would like to introduce myself as "Mel" from Mel's Tasty Bites as your new school

canteen operator. We are very excited to be operating Our Lady of Lourdes Primary

School canteen which will be open 5 days per week starting on Tuesday, 14th June.

We are currently rated the healthiest canteen operators in Sydney and that is because

of the fresh food we are introducing to our students. All our food is made fresh daily

and homemade. You will find our mouth watering, endless options, on your new

healthy canteen menu on our website and your school’s website…

Just to fill you in a little about what we have on offer for you;

We offer online ordering on our website, so if you find it difficult to come in and

order lunch for your little one/s, don't worry as it can also be done online for your

convenience or the familiar way of handing it in at the canteen. Orders must be in by

9.30am.

We also have an account system which runs on credit. You can leave $20 or more on

your own personal account at the canteen, that way your child will never have to miss

out on recess or lunch, or better yet, does not have to carry any money with them.

You can also let us know if there are certain items you do not wish your child to

purchase…

We have a Loyalty Card System. Every time your child places a lunch order at the

canteen, they receive a stamp on their card, once they reach 10 stamps, they receive a

FREE lunch to the value of $5.00... how cool is that?

So be sure to pick up your loyalty card with your first lunch order.

Not sure what to do for your child's upcoming birthday?

We make fresh homemade cupcakes for your special birthday girl or boy to share

their special day with their friends at school. Place your order within 72 hours and a

gorgeous tray of cupcakes will be ready for pick up by the teacher on your child’s

special day.

Parents & Staff: The canteen has a fancy coffee machine for you to enjoy a

cappuccino, chai tea or even a hot chocolate.

We offer many more services, so be sure to stay tuned by Liking our Facebook Page

and visiting our website often.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me..

We will be giving away a $30.00 Account Voucher to a lucky student who puts in a

lunch order on Tuesday the 14th June.

Looking forward to meeting you all on our Grand Opening Day!
