Term 2 Invoices
Term Two invoices will not be sent via email this week.
Due to COVID disruptions, billing will be done later. Please check next week's newsletter for further information.
Canteen
The canteen is open for business NEXT WEEK at recess and lunch on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
There are changes to the menu, with the addition of Chicken Noodle and Pea and Ham soup just in time for the cooler weather.
Online QKR! orders must be placed by 8.45am (or even the night before), with separate orders for each child.
LLL Banking
School banking resumes next Thursday. Please place passbooks in the classroom communication bucket, or hand them in at the front office.
Speak to the office staff if you would like to set up a Children's account with the Lutheran Laypersons League.
Scholastic Bookclub
There will not be any physical catalogues coming home for Issue 3, but you can access the Scholastic Book Club Catalogue via the following link:
https://scholastic.com.au/book-club/virtual-catalogue-1/
We would encourage you to use the Loop ordering system. If you have not used it before it is very easy, and all done online.
Just follow the how-to guide that you see here.
You are able to access the LOOP parent login via the following link:
https://mybookclubs.scholastic.com.au/Parent/Login.aspx
Orders need to be submitted online by Thursday 7th May 2020.
As most students are back at school, book orders will be delivered to school and sent home with your child. (Please note that this is different to what was communicated at the end of Term 1, and you will NOT be charged a $4.99 delivery fee.)
Please also note that some titles offered, differ from the Christian ethos followed by the school.
Happy reading everyone!
Growing Faith at Home
How are you going? Being unsettled seems to be the new norm at the moment. Our foundation has been shaken and we are challenged with constant change. So, who is someone we can turn to that is unchanging?
This week’s Growing Faith at Home resource looks at our Good Shepherd, Jesus, and asks the question, ‘Who can we trust?’ They also ask, ‘When and where do you hear Jesus’ voice?’. I would ask, ‘What do you think he is saying right now?’

Children's Chat
Please find a Children’s Chat and Activity Sheet from Grow Ministries in the attachment that you might like to try out with your family at home.
These days are indeed challenging. The word ‘unprecedented’ has been used again and again.
If you would ever like to chat, I’m here! Please call or send me an email and we can make a time to catch up.
