From the Principal 

Dear Parents and Carers,

Remote Learning - Lockdown 5.0

Thank you for the way families and students are working together with the school as we respond to the uncertainty of the latest Lockdown 5.0.

One of the keys to managing these times between home and school is keeping the communication lines open and active.  Our intention as school staff is to get the information and resources needed for remote learning to parents as timely as possible.

At the time of writing the newsletter, no extension of the lockdown had been announced, however in the event that this does happen, further details will be sent to families regarding remote learning arrangements and onsite supervision registration beyond Tuesday 20th July.

In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to practice a sense of gratitude for things we have in our lives and to be reassured of God’s love for each of us during these challenging and uncertain times.

NAIDOC 2021

Last week our whole school celebrations for NAIDOC were a wonderful success.  Thank you to staff and parents for supporting and encouraging students to be part of this important awareness building and learning experience.  

Thank you to some of our talented photographers within our school community: Tanya Graham and Sam Tamvakis for capturing our human-made aboriginal flag.

Summer dress uniform 

I am pleased to inform the school community that the new summer dress will be available for order this Term.  Thank you to all the families who gave feedback via consultation Google form earlier in the year.

Please keep a lookout in the Uniform section of the newsletter for further information about sizing and ordering details.

Andrew Fuller - Clinical Psychologist, Author and Family Therapist

 Tuesday 20 July @ 1pm - 2pm

 FREE webinar - Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163334348433

Homeschooling and the uncertainty of 2020/21 have left families feeling anxious and perhaps a little overwhelmed.

Clinical psychologist and family therapist Andrew Fuller is holding a webinar that is applicable to every family and empowers parents to guide their children (and themselves) towards success.

Andrew’s webinar will help parents with practical tips on home schooling and show them how to get their kids’ mojo back by finding their particular learning strengths and identifying 10 things highly successful students do to study. He will also help parents to deal with the after-effects of 20/21 with tips and information on how to overcome anxiety in children.

 Andrew Fuller combines the latest research from brain science, positive education and resilience to create strength-based education.

There will be a presentation and then the opportunity for parents to ask questions directly.

God bless
