School Counsellor

Danielle, our school counsellor, is on some long term sick leave and I am not sure on whether she will be replaced immediately. We can access CatholicCare in emergencies. I will keep you informed of a replacement or when Danielle might return.

Public Speaking

Congratulations to all the students on their great effort at the Northern Region Public Speaking. They all did a terrific job. I had the pleasure of hearing the speeches at school and they were outstanding. Well done to Isaac, Marley and Neve who are going on to the Archdiocesan finals at Boorowa.

On Wednesday evening I attended the Quota Club Public Speaking for Goulburn Primary Schools and it was wonderful to see Marley Parlett do a fantastic speech. The eventual winner was from North Goulburn with a unique take on “Why did the Chicken Cross the Road”. Marley’s speech about “Grown-ups are a Weird Species” was very entertaining. All the speeches were of a very high standard and Marley should be very proud of her efforts.

You Can Do it

Our students continue to build their skills with this Personal Development Programme. This term we are focusing on how to build resilience through determination and examining our thinking.

What happened when the principal tied everyone's laces together? They went on a class trip.

FATHER’S DAY PRAYER CELEBRATION

The whole school will be celebrating Father’s Day with a special Prayer Celebration, led by Kindergarten, on Tuesday 27^th August at 10am in the school hall. We invite all dads, grandpas, family and friends to join us.

Congratulations to all the students who participated.

Ss Peter & Paul's Choir combined for the first time with St. Joseph's Primary School Choir to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary last Thursday. This was a wonderful way for students and staff from both schools to collaborate and create something special together. The Cathedral was ringing louder than usual with voices singing in praise. The young performers did a great job of encouraging everyone in attendance to sing out with genuine, joyful enthusiasm. They were accompanied on guitar by our own Greg Angus and St. Joseph's staff members Matt Mullins, Vanessa Deaton and Paul Anderson. The student singers were directed by St. Joseph's Cathy Walker. Surprised smiles appeared on the choir members' faces when Fr. McDermott asked the congregation to give them a round of applause. We hope to unite these choirs for many more events in the future.

On Tuesday 13th of August, 5/6H went to SDN Lady McKell to assist pre-school children in conducting a number of experiments for National Science Week 2019. National Science Week is an annual celebration of science in Australia and an opportunity to get together to explore and promote a love of science.

Students studied the expected Science outcomes that are taught to kindergarten students, and chose an area to teach to the pre-school students starting school next year. Each group of students were then given the challenging task of designing a learning activity to teach an outcome from the Science and Technology Curriculum. The activity needed to be engaging to younger students and make them feel excited about science.

After designing their science experiments, the enthused stage three students trialled their lesson plan with younger students. Luckily a willing kindergarten class allowed them to go in one afternoon and test their teaching and organisation skills!

‘We had five groups, doing different experiments. Each group focused on a different type of science. Our group blew up balloons using vinegar and bicarb soda. When we added the two together, there was a chemical reaction which made bubbles and the carbon dioxide blew up the balloon’ – Eloise.

‘Each group focused on a different type of technology. The coolest groups I saw included coding robotic mice to run through a maze; this was a focus on digital technology. There was also an air cannon group; the scientific focus on physics, or as we told the kindies, force and motion.’ – Charlotte.

‘It was a nice experience for us. The preschool children got to see what primary school children do for science.’ – Thomas.

‘I really liked the learning environment at Lady McKell. I think Room 4 really enjoyed the science experiments and learning something new.’ -Megan.

‘I was in a group using m&m’s. We put the m&m’s around a plate, we added warm water onto the plate and watched the colour of the m&m create a rainbow. The colour created a rainbow because the sugar on the shell dissolved and leaked into the water.’ – Byron.

‘Overall the children loved the fun, educational activities we did with them. Not only did they see what it's like to be in school, they also learnt some cool science!’ - Neve.

Both students from 5/6H and Lady McKell thoroughly enjoyed their day being teachers and students. Lady McKell enjoyed it so much that they have asked Ss Peter & Paul’s students to come back again soon. Keep an eye out for a visit during Book Week.

Year 6 students are invited to apply for a Scholarship given out by the CWA Southern Tablelands group. It is $250 towards their secondary education. Application forms are available at the school office. Miss Neely is happy to write a reference for the application on request.
