Help us continue to advocate and work for the Deaf community!
Your donation to Deaf Australia shows governments, industry and service providers that Deaf people, their families, friends and organisations are committed to ‘building a better Australia for Deaf people’.
Last Friday the Network of Schools team, Dave Mutimer, Aisling McGing, Sam Wahrenberger and I attended Seminar 7 of the project. We heard from keynote speaker Di Snowball on Spelling, Teri Campbell on High Impact strategies and at the end of the day we worked with other schools on our ‘feedback’ focus. On November 22 at our final seminar day for the year, we will be presenting to a panel. We will inform them about our journey so far with the Network of Schools. We are looking forward to presenting our ‘feedback’ journey so far.
This week (September 4 to September 8) is eSafety week which means that we are reminded about always acting in a ‘cyber safe’ manner whenever we use the Internet. Here is a link to the eSmart website …. https://goo.gl/G2YaUK
During this week our ICT leaders shared their cyber safety tips on a video discussion platform called Flipgrid. Year 6 leaders in other catholic primary schools throughout Melbourne also shared their tips and I would encourage you to look at some of these to discuss as a family.

At the 2017 Art Show we will be sharing our whole school collaborative piece using the meditation rocks. After we read the lovely story, Only One You by Linda Kranz , which is full of wisdom on how to live a happy life, each student created their own unique Pebble fish. These will be installed in the Harmony Garden after the Art Show.
Hi everyone. I am one of the Year 6 Liturgy leaders this year and we have been busy organising lots of school activities such as setting up masses, building new prayer tables for the classrooms and preparing for the John Burland concert. Earlier this year we were lucky enough to go to St. Patrick’s Cathedral (in the city) to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with all the other catholic schools in Melbourne. Here is some of our photos from the day …..
On Friday the 11th of August, all the students at our school went to Lakewood Reserve for tree planting. There were people at the Lake from Knox Council who helped the students with planting the trees as part of the ‘one tree per child’ program. The children had lots of fun and learnt a lot about how to look after our environment.
The Art poster competition decision has been delayed until Wednesday to allow some students to complete their work. Sorry for the delay, the quality of the posters is making it a very difficult decision.
Thank you

This term in the 5/6 level we have been fundraising for an organisation called Solar Buddy. You fundraise money and get sent a solar light kit to build. These lights then get sent to the Solar Buddy people and then sent to the people that are living in energy poverty. People in places like Uganda, Ghana, The Gambia, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet, India and more. At this time we have raised over$700. Groups have raised money by holding various stalls and activities such as a fidget spinner raffle, selling slime, guessing how many lollies are in the jar, helping teachers wash cars, selling baked goods and much more.
Unfortunately, because we were working raising money we did not take any photos of us in action.
Stay tuned for a final figure of how much we raised.
Well done 5/6’s on your wonderful efforts throughout our fundraising project!
