Learning Space 3 - Juniors
In Learning Space 3 Juniors, we have been looking at how we can use different strategies to stay in the Green Zone. We talked about the strategies Jesus might have used to stay in the Green Zone. He liked to talk to God to help him manage his emotions. We came up with 5 strategies that we could use to manage our emotions too.
During Term 1 the juniors in Learning Space 3 have been participating in Golf Clinics. They have had lots of fun and have learnt fantastic new skills. We definitely have potential future golfers in the making!

SFS CROSS COUNTRY

The SFS Cross Country is on the last day of this term, Friday April 8th, 2022 and it will be held at school.
Seniors will be involved from 9.00-10.00 and Juniors 10.00-11.00.
The track will be on school grounds and pathways just outside the school. Gates to the car park will be closed and there will be staff supervising along the track.
Foundation: One lap around the track
Grade 1: One lap around the track
Grade 2: One lap around the track
8 year olds: Two laps around the track
9/10 year olds: Two laps around the track
11 year olds: Three laps around the track
12/13 year olds: Three laps around the track
There will be separate races for boys and girls in each age or grade level. Students placing in the first ten will be awarded a ribbon and points for their House and those who are first in each race will have their names engraved on the school trophies that are kept in our trophy cabinet.
Students will be required to wear their sports uniform as they will be running, but we hope that they will wear a t-shirt that is in their house colour and wear other accessories such as hats, scarves… in their house colour.
They will also need to bring their drink bottle and hat. Please also remember to update your child’s profile on Operoo acknowledging you have done so on the Cross Country notification.
Teresa House - Blue
MacKillop House – Yellow
Bosco House – Red
Patrick House – Green
We will then have assembly after 1st lunch to announce the winning house and the winners for each race.
A reminder that if parents or family members attend to support your child, you will need to be fully vaccinated and sit in areas away from student groups which will ensure social distancing for our staff and students. You may like to bring a blanket or chairs to sit on.
COLOUR FUN RUN !!!
We are so excited that Parents and Friends are organizing the Colour Fun Run once again!!!! This will take place after the students finish their cross country run. This was a definite highlight of the day last year. And having been attacked with colour myself, I can assure you it washes out! Please support Parents and Friends in their fundraising effort through the Colour Fun Run.
SCHOOL SPORTS VICTORIA
It’s fantastic that this year the first 5 students in each race from 9/10 year olds, 11 year olds and 12/13 year olds will have the opportunity to proceed to District Cross Country in Term 2. Parents of students who come in 1st – 5th will be notified via Operoo.
SPORTS NEWS
FRIDAY SENIOR SPORTS
This week Grade 5/6 students continued their training for their summer interschool sports and Grade 3/4 continued their sports rotations. We hope that by giving the Grade 3/4 this opportunity, they will be familiar with the interschool sports once they are in Grade 5/6 and choosing the sport they are interested in.
We are delighted to announce that Interschool Sports will begin next week and we will be playing Hampton Park Primary School at home. T-Ball will be played on the oval over at Banjo Paterson due to limited space at school now that the building for the hall has commenced. Grade 5/6 parents have been notified via Operoo with details of all the Interschool Sports matches for this term and next. We ask parents to please give permission for their child to participate and ensure their profile is up to date
GRADE 6 BIKE EDUCATION
Grade 6 students had another pathway session today. We hope that they will practise the skills they have learnt over the week. We will be sending another Operoo note home to extend Grade 6 Bike Education into the first Friday next term. This is to make up for the session that Grade 6s did not have a fortnight ago.
JUNIOR GOLF CLINICS
Juniors once again had golf clinics this week. They have one more clinic in Week 10. We hope the students have enjoyed their golf clinics. I know the coaches have been impressed with our students and their enthusiasm.
Monday LS3
Tuesday LS2
Friday LS1
Please ensure your child is wearing their sports uniform, hat and has their water bottle.
There is also a flyer included in the newsletter from the coach delivering the program, in case your child is interested in continuing golf out of school hours in Term 2.
