Some classes were introdcued to the new software dung their lessons this week with the remaining classes to be introduced next time their class visits the library. Exciting times! National Reconciliation Week National Reconciliation Week (NRW) saw students learn about the shared histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Students explored how each of them could join the national reconciliation effort. This year’s theme, It’s time to change it up, asked students what it meant to “change something up” and why it was important to step up the focus or effort around reconciliation. Students listened to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers through their interactive whiteboards and some students completed reconciliation hand artwork. Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June so visit http://www.reconciliation.org.au/nrw/ to see what’s happening around the country. Ms Goldspink and Mr Svanfelds NRW Coordinators

Thank you to everyone who donated to Stewart House Day 2015. We raised $952.00 through selling torch keyrings, envelope donations and our Mufti Day. Thank you to the SRC students who helped to sell the torch keyrings. A fantastic effort by everyone. Miss Molloy Charities Coordinator
Randwick Fire Station Incursion On Wednesday 27 May the Randwick Fire Station conducted their “Workers In The Community” incursion for Stage One. The firers talked about whose needs they help meet, what they do in their role, why they do it, what they need (equipment and skills) to perform their role and how people can make their role easier/more enjoyable. Students were able to go inside and sit in the fire truck and were able to spray the fire hose water onto the grass. If you want to know more about the Fire Brigade, they have their “Fire Station Open Day” on Saturday 30 May from 10:00am to 2:00pm so visit http://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/. Other scheduled community worker visits include a doctor on Tuesday 9 June and the Maroubra Police on Thursday 11 June. Mr Svanfelds App Of The Week An app by the Queensland Government Department of Education and Training is “Out & About”. Aimed at “Prep” (our Kindergarten) to Year 2, students can learn 100 sight words that are grouped into ten word sets.
