Stop Press!
This afternoon I had a very welcomed visit from Landon from K/1P. Landon shared the story he had written about a bat. His writing was neat and well formed, contained sentences and he read beautifully. Great job Landon I'm proud of you!

Hippity hop, hippity hop here comes... "The Easter Hat Parade'! This year our Easter extravaganza will be held on Thursday 6th April 2023. No need to rush out and buy things to make your child’s Easter hat. This year the students are getting together with their buddy class to make their Easter hats, with resources provided by the school. More information will be coming out soon, so please save the date and don’t miss out on this great occasion.
As we near the end of our first term and head into the school holidays,
it is important to use our Grow Your Mind animals to be the best we can be and take care of each other.
This fortnight is the ELEPHANT who helps us remember what we have learnt. To flourish we need to continue learning something new everyday, take time to breath and move our bodies!
Did you know?
Did you know that mindfulness was first developed in 1979 as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in University of Massachusetts Medical Centre to help relieve the suffering from pain, illness, and stress?
Did you know that mindfulness intervention has been associated with a reduction in repetitive thinking for individuals who tend to worry and worry over events in the past or events in the future?
Did you know that mindfulness practice is considered to have the potential to improve mental health?
Did you know that mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening right now – being aware of our own moment-to-moment situation? When we are in the moment, there is less worry about the past or the future.
Did you know that mindfulness is simple and only takes practice?
Reading allows us to be transported from our own world to another. Between the pages of a book, we can become immersed in the lives of fictional characters and learn about a culture entirely different from our own.
The P&C is so happy to be able to facilitate another Easter Raffle this year which will be drawn after the Easter Hat Parade on Thursday, 6th April. We want to thank you all in advance for supporting us with donating items and purchasing tickets. The Easter Raffle is always a successful fundraiser for our P&C and we think we might know why...

This year, there will be multiple winners drawn per class* in the class draws. Tickets will then be entered into the main draw for another chance to win (the number of prizes here will depend on donations received).
*Support Unit classes will be combined for donations and prizes.
