Parent Reference Books

For many years, we have had a ‘Parent Reference’ section in our school library. Parents have been able to borrow story books to read to their children on relevant topics or to borrow reference books relevant to their child/ren’s development and learning.

Now that we have a Galilee Community Room, we have decided to move the ‘Parent Reference’ section to this room to make the books more accessible.

We have recently bought more books and added them to the bookshelf.

Please take the time to familiarize yourselves with the books available, as they can provide you with valuable information when the situation arises.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further enquires.

The NED Show

Last year, we had The NED Show presenting to us three important messages that have lifelong relevance:

Never give up

Encourage others

Do your best

It was so successful that they are coming back on Monday, 30th July to our School Hall.

This year we are having NED’s KINDNESS Adventure.

The Kindness Adventure assembly utilizes storytelling, music, magic, audience participation and interactive videos to tell the story of a cartoon character named NED.

The adventure begins when NED and the performer accept an invitation to visit the country of Kenya. Although NED is initially uncertain about the cultural differences, he quickly learns he has something powerful in common with the kids in Kenya...a smile and a kind heart. Throughout the show, the performer highlights the satisfaction that takes place when children show kindness and acceptance towards those who are perceived as “different” from them.

The Kindness Adventure presentation can support our initiatives for developing a positive and caring school climate.

Its proactive approach aims to prevent many forms of mistreatment, including bullying, by showcasing the sense of satisfaction that takes place when a child chooses to show kindness, respect and acceptance.

Our school gets the show for free because we are hosting a All for KIDZ’s Pay-It-Forward® payment method, which allows the program to visit schools that do not have a budget for assemblies.

We will be selling handcrafted items priced at $8, $15 or $20.

It is definitely not compulsory to buy these items, but if you would like your child to have one, they will be sold in the hall, before and after school each day from Tuesday, 31st July until Friday, 3rd August.

If you wish to buy an item, please send the correct money in an envelope with your child’s name, class & item or come to the hall and select your item.

CASH only please.
