Joke of the Week
A grandma lovingly gives her granddaughter a kiss on the cheek upon seeing her at a family get-together. Afterwards, she noticed the little girl wiping her cheek.
“Are you wiping off my kiss?” she asked.
“No”, she smartly replied, somewhat embarrassed but quick on her feet,
“I’m just rubbing it in!”
Father's Day Stall
The SAC will once again be holding a Father's Day Stall on Thursday 29th August. Gifts will be available for Dads and Granddads and all gifts are $7. Payments may be made via CDFpay.
Father’s Day Breakfast - Save the Date!
On Friday 30th August, we are inviting all children to celebrate Father’s/Special Friends Day by having breakfast at school with their dad/special friend. If for some reason the children’s father cannot attend the breakfast, then we encourage them to invite a significant other male such as their grandfather, uncle or a family friend etc. More details will be communicated soon.

Parent Helpers Needed for Lunch Order Pickups
We are seeking some Parent Helpers this term to assist with lunch order pickups.
Please advise if you can assist with Subway or Baker's Delight Lunch order pickups on a Tuesday or Friday Morning.
Both stores are located at the Vermont South shops and all that's required is to collect the orders from the stores and drop them off to the school anytime before lunch (1.30pm).
Thank you to the families who have already agreed to assist. If we have enough families volunteering then a roster can be devised and it will only be a commitment of couple of dates per term.
Please indicate your availability on the Audiri app form or email the office.
Lunch Time Clubs
This term children can participate in the following clubs during half of their lunch breaks:
Monday - Gardening Club with Mrs Congerton
Tuesday - Art Club with Mrs Turner
Wednesday - Fun & Games in the Library with Mrs Corcoran
Thursday - Cross stich Club with Ms. Congerton
Mobile Phones
Just a Reminder to students and parents of our rules and regulations regarding the use of mobile phones and other personal devices. In our Holy Saviour Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement, it states that students will, “give my teacher a written ‘BYOD consent form’ from my parents/guardians before bringing my own devices to school. Otherwise I will leave my equipment at home.” If you have an urgent message to get to your child, this is to be done via the office, even if your child is offsite at an excursion or interschool sport event. If you cannot get through on the phone, an email to office@hsvs.catholic.edu.auis always promptly responded to. This is important for the care and safety of all children at Holy Saviour.

As the weather continues to warm up it is timely to revisit ourSunSmart Policy. All students need to wear a hat at school for outside activities and come to school with sunscreen applied on exposed parts of the body. If your child has a skin sensitivity to sunscreen then please send an appropriate sunscreen product.
