Congratulations

To Jayla Morcom who won a Tennis tournament in Traral-gon recently in her age group. Also to Ben Clements who

was runner-up. Food Bank

A reminder that if you have time to do some extra cooking

over the holidays our Food Bank could do with a top-up.

Any casseroles, soups and cakes are welcome; please list the ingredients and put into a container that does not need

to be returned. Playground equipment

The playground equipment at our school is very popular

and the students in Years 3-6 in particular have asked if we could have some more as they share the one area of equip-

ment. The School Council Buildings and Grounds Committee

has considered this request and is asking for your help. We cannot see where we can put another whole large set of

playground equipment on our grounds. However we do know that there are places that have smaller sets of inter-

esting equipment grouped together. We are looking into

this as perhaps an alternative option - to have smaller pockets of equipment located around our yard rather than

another large play equipment area. If you see any interest-ing items of playground equipment, that may particularly

appeal to our Senior student, please take a photo and send it in to us with the location of the equipment so we can

look into the feasibility of this project.

‘Being safe, feeling safe’

As part of our Health and PE program, and as a Kids Matter

school, we are very fortunate to have a short program called “Being safe, feeling safe” running with our Grade 1-2

and 3-4 classes during Term 3. Staff from Department of Education Student Support Services will work alongside

classroom teachers to run the short program. Every class in

Years 1-2 and 3-4 will have two sessions of the program. Children will be taught important life skills regarding their

personal safety. This program is based on two key state-ments:-

· Everyone has the right to be and feel safe · Nothing is so awful that you can’t talk about it

This short program supports the rights and responsibilities

of all members of Inverloch Primary School to be happy and respected and, to feel and be safe.

Reports

You will now be able to see your child’s complete Progress report for the semester. All student’s in 1/2V should have

brought home a note last week explaining that their reports

are incomplete until Mr V returns. Parent teacher interviews will be held later in term 3 but if you have any concerns

about your child’s progress. Please contact the office to make an appointment with your child’s teacher. Easter Fair and PFA

On Monday July 20th at 9.15am there will be a combined meeting of the PFA and the Easter Fair Committee. We will

be looking for people to join us on the Easter Fair commit-

tee with some office bearer roles needing to be filled. The Easter Fair is a wonderful event, with the planning made

easier if many join in to help. Band

Our band is working hard towards their first performance

next term. Thanks to Eamonn who has also been playing the saxophone to accompany the National Anthem for us at

Monday morning assemblies. The Band rehearses before

school on Monday mornings with instrumental lessons all day Monday and Thursday afternoons. Diana Riordan is our

band and instrumental teacher. If you have a child in Year 3 or upwards who would like to learn an instrument to be in

the band please contact the school office. ANZAC DAY Service

As it was the 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the AN-

ZAC Landing this year, our local R.S.L. commissioned a DVD

recording of the ANZAC Day events at Inverloch. This in-cluded the Service at 10.00am at which our students sang

and presented readings. The local R.S.L. group will have copies of the DVD for sale and were wondering if any par-

ents would be interested in purchasing them. Please watch the noticeboard for further details of this.

MOWING A huge thank you to all of our volunteers

who have mowed this year. The front of the

school has looked fantastic all year, as had

the Edgar St nature strip. (thanks Big K)

Please let the office know if you are able to

mow. Thanks again….

DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS On Tuesday 23rd of June the mixed netball team headed off to compete in the Divisional Winter Sports. They

had already put in a lot of time training for this event with lunch time skill sessions and a practice match

against the IKFNC under 13s team. The hard work paid off! They played a confident and skilful match to

come away with a great win, the score was 53 to 8. The team have now won their way through to the Regional

Championships in Sale which will take place next term.

Well done
