From The Principal
TERM 4
Welcome back to Term 4. It will be a busy term with K-2 Swimming, Life Education, End of Year celebrations and Planning for 2020. I encourage you all to keep an eye on the calendar and regularly check the app for any changes and updates. A term calendar is attached to the newsletter for you to do some forward planning.
Art Show, Soccer Presentation, Andrew Chinn Concert
We finished our term with three great celebrations. The Art Show was well attended by families and grandparents. It was a great success and highlighted how we try to develop the many talents of our students. Thanks to Baxter Watts, Megan Zahrouni and Sam Ford for their individual musical performances. The school choir was wonderful. Once again thanks to Mr Angus for his co-ordination of this event. He has already started planning for a great evening of Christmas music on 11th December to finish off the year.
Thanks to all the families who supported our Soccer Club in 2019. Special thanks to Michelle Randall for all her work to run the club in 2019.
Andrew Chinn visited our school on the last day of term and ran great workshops on the fantastic Religious Education songs we use in our school. His concert in the afternoon was great and had all students participating. It was a wonderful way to finish the term.

YOU CAN DO IT
This term the focus in the lessons is on :
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL BLOCKER like Worry/Anxiety + Feeling Down + Anger + Not Paying Attention + Procrastination
Everyone has some things about them that block them from being successful and happy. They might get too angry, worried or sad about something. They might be lazy and not do their work or chores, or they may not pay attention in class. Having a blocker doesn't make you a bad person. Everyone can learn different things they can do to make their blockers much smaller.
