Upcoming Dates
Dear Parents and Carers, The term is quickly passing us by with only two and a half weeks le of term two. Kinder interviews for 2020 commenced on Monday. It is wonderful to
have the chance to talk with parents, current and new about their hopes and dreams for their children.
Our Year Three and Four students are preparing for the Sacrament of Reconcilia on early next term. There is a parent informa on evening on tonight Wednesday, 19th June at 6pm and it is expected that a repre-senta ve from each family making the sacrament be present.
Our Kinder teachers a ended some valuable professional learning in Maths last week.
Mrs Haggar spoke to our assembly on Friday about her learnings from her educa onal trip to Finland. It was interes ng for students and staff alike.
The new building is progressing slowly at present with li le work being done since the slab was poured. Hopefully we will see a frame going up soon.
As was advised last year our new building is being funded from a Commonwealth Government Capital Grant (alloca on of which is based on need) and a grant form Catholic Educa on Diocese Wagga Wagga (alloca on of which is based on need). We are grateful for the support of these two bodies to ensure that Sacred Heart has the facili es to support the needs of students and staff.
Work on the new playground area is well underway with the focus at present on developing the new sandpit and surrounding spaces. The playground will provide many op ons for children to develop their physical strength, sa sfy sensory needs and allow for crea vity and imagina on. The upgrade of the playground was iden fied as a priority three years ago as exis ng equipment needed to be replaced and research challenged us to think differently about play spaces for students. The playground is being funded from Parents and Friends funds and from a grant from Catholic Educa on Diocese Wagga Wagga (for school improvement).
Student reports will be available on Friday 28th June via the Compass
Portal. An informa on sheet is a ached to the newsle er to heighten
your awareness as to the change in format and presenta on of infor-
ma on around student learning in the reports. If any queries when
reading the reports please contact your child’s teacher.
SLOW ME DOWN, LORD
Slow me down, Lord, Slow me down! Ease the pounding of my heart By the quieting of my mind. Give me amid the confusion of my day The calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles With soothing music of the singing stream That lives in my memory. Help me to know the magical restoring power of sleep. Teach me the art of taking minute vacations, Of slowing down to look at a flower, To chat with a friend, to pat a dog, To read a few lines from a good book. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me To send my roots deep into the soil of life's enduring values That I may grow towards the stars of my great destiny. Amen
Working bee is scheduled for Sunday 30th June at 12pm. The work will include dissembling the old exis ng adventure playground and placing equipment that can be reused in storage. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Many hands make light work. Your generosity will be appreciated. If you are available to assist please contact Derek Nigh ngale on 0429933934.

A word from Mr King Resilience in our Children
(thoughts by Michael Grose)
Every day there are opportuni es for parents to give their children lessons in resilience. Promo ng personal resilience focuses on helping kids cope with life’s hurts, disappointments and challenges in the present, while building strengths for the future.
“Oh well” One great way is to use the phrase “Oh well” when hearing of difficul es or disappointments. It is not a way of brushing it off, or making light of situa ons, but in certain circumstances it can mean;
Stuff happens
Don’t look for fault or blame
Keep your perspec ve
Pick yourself off and con nue with what you were doing (Be resilient)
Michael Grose, a leading paren ng expert, recommends that when a minor incident occurs
Match your response to the incident
Stay calm and be posi ve
Don’t look for fault or blame
Remember, stuff happens
Our reac ons make a huge difference It’s in our reac ons to these and other every day mistakes, mess-ups, muck-ups and hurts where the big lessons in resilience are taught and reinforced, and every day there are opportuni es for parents to give their children lessons in resilience.
A child misses being picked for a rep team. “Oh well. Let’s work hard and try again next year.”
When a child finds someone doesn’t want to play with them. “Oh well. You’ll find that some people don’t want to be your friend.”
There are mes when “Oh well” won’t cut it.
When a child is treated badly over a period of me and needs your con nued support.
When a student’s con nuous efforts at improvement are going unrewarded then you may need to act on their behalf and meet with the teacher.
When a child is always worried about walking home from school or catching the bus then you may need to help them look at different op ons.
These types of situa ons also present opportuni es for daily lessons in resilience, but they require more parental support and teaching. The resilience lessons learned are deeper and include concepts such as ‘things will eventually go your way,’ ‘there are mes when you need to seek help’ and ‘this too shall pass.’
Daily lessons in resilience are everywhere. You need to be ready to make the most of these valuable lessons when they come your way.

Our students needed to use
cooperation to make sure all members of their team were able to fit within the hoop structure. To do this they needed to listen
to all ideas, assist via giving directions and be open to new
possibilities.
RECYCLING Year 6 students taught the rest of the school the important message about
recycling. They went to each class to talk about the different bins at our school and what items need to go in
them. Great work Year 6!
A very generous response from our
families to support the St Vincent De Paul
Winter Appeal. Thank you!
