TRIVIA NIGHT
Thanks to all who supported the night and special thanks to Stacey Writer for co-ordinating the event. People were very generous and about $2400 was raised. This will be used to purchase Chrome Books for Year 1/2B and 2HB classrooms.
SCHOOL STARTING TIME
A reminder to parents that teacher supervision begins at 8.30am. There are a handful of children who arrive by bus before 8.30am who we look after in a special arrangement for these families. Please do not send your children earlier. Staff are busy trying to do preparation work before 8.30am and not available to being do extra supervision.
ARCHDIOCESAN ATHLETICS
There were many children who were successful at this carnival. Well done. Good luck to those travelling to the Mackillop competition on 16th September.
ANDREW CHINN WORKSHOP & CONCERT
Andrew Chinn will now be visiting our school on the last day of the term –Friday September 27th. Andrew writes and performs lots of songs that we use in our Masses, Liturgies and class lessons. During the day he will be doing workshops with all the classes and then presenting a concert involving all the children at 2.20pm. I encourage you all to come along for a great afternoon’s entertainment. This concert and workshop is covered in your school fees so it would be great if students did not go home early that day. It will be a Casual Clothes day.
CHRISTUS VIVIT- Pope Francis
Pope Francis has written a new document where he reflects on Youth and the Church’s mission in this area. On Friday Mrs Seaman and I had the opportunity to listen to Archbishop Prowse reflect on some of the Pope’s words. One paragraph that struck with me was a reflection by the Pope on our role as Catholics. He asks us to think not about what we can get from the world but what we can give to the world. This is also an area we ask of our students. What can we do for others to make a school and community a better place? The Catholic faith is not an inwards looking faith but looking outwards to make the world a better place for ourselves and others.
These are some of Pope Francis words to reflect upon:
285. We need to ask: Do I know myself, quite apart from my illusions and emotions? Do I know what brings joy or sorrow to my heart? What are my strengths and weaknesses? These questions immediately give rise to others: How can I serve people better and prove most helpful to our world and to the Church? What is my real place in this world? What can I offer to society? Even more realistic questions then follow: Do I have the abilities needed to offer this kind of service? Could I develop those abilities?
286. These questions should be centred less on ourselves and our own inclinations, but on others, so that our discernment leads us to see our life in relation to their lives. That is why I would remind you of the most important question of all. “So often in life, we waste time asking ourselves: ‘Who am I?’ You can keep asking, ‘Who am I?’ for the rest of your lives. But the real question is: ‘For whom am I?’”.[159] Of course, you are for God. But he has decided that you should also be for others, and he has given you many qualities, inclinations, gifts and charisms that are not for you, but to share with those around you.
When God Made Dads ...
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of the Summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in Spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad.
Why did the M&M go to school?
I'm stumped.....why ???
Because he really wanted to be a Smartie!

Fred Hollows Foundation
The Fred Hollows Foundation was launched as an Australian charitable foundation in Sydney on 3rd September 1992 (five months before Fred died) to continue the work of Fred Hollows in providing eye care for the underprivileged and the poor.
Achievements - Fred Hollows. Fred was an eye surgeon of thousands of men, women and children each year. His work in relation to blindness is still applied today.
Frederick Cossom Hollows was a New Zealand-Australia ophthalmologist (a specialist in the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders and diseases of the eye) who became known for his work in restoring eyesight for thousands of people in Australia and many other countries.
Fred died of cancer of the kidney and died at the age of 63 (9th April 1929-10th February 1993).
3/4M donated $80 to the Fred Hollows Foundation to support the work in eye surgery
that has been going for many years. We donated our money to the support of eye surgery within the indigenous communities of Australia.
Kindy Readiness
On Wednesday afternoon, 28th August, 3/4M hosted the Kinder Readiness program. First of all Mrs McVey read a book called Mini - Beasts, it was a rhyming book. Then we sang “If I were a butterfly”. Sam played along on his guitar too. We then coloured in double sided butterflies. The choir members in our class came to the front of the room and sang “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars.
It was a great afternoon and the little ones did not want to go home at the end of the afternoon because they were enjoying it so much. (There was even tears!!)
By Charli Sillis 3/4M.

Snow In The Springtime by K/1W
On Tuesday we woke up to a town covered in snow ! It was absolutely beautiful. In the classroom, K/1W used the grounds of the school as their inspiration to write some creative stories about the Winter wonderland. The children also got some lovely snaps taken. Here are a few of their masterpieces.
A snow story by Ava C.B
Yesterday was Tuesday and it snowed. All the roads were covered in snow. I made a snowman and had a snow ball fight, I won. It was fun playing in the snow. I love the snow. Goulburn got a lot of snow. Goulburn is lucky it snowed yesterday. I love the snow. It snowed so much and so much. I made big foot prints in the snow. The snow was thick. It rained and snowed. The kids in my class went to KH. We had four kids in KH. It snowed everywhere. It was very cold and wet. I had to go the office way to get in my class to put my bag away. We had to go to the library.
A snow story by Austin R
Yesterday it snowed. I made a snow angel, a snow man and super big foot prints. I took pictures in the snow and I bounced on the trampoline. When I bounced on it the snow came up and down. I rode my scooter on the trampoline.
