Room 8 Assembly Room 8 kept us entertained during the book week assembly. They presented several interesting facts they encountered exploring lands in non-fiction texts. They shared with us their favourite books adding to our ‘to read’ list. As well as acting out an amusing play adapted from the gingerbread man called ‘the popsicle boy’. Author Visits Dudley Park On Monday 7th September the students from Rooms 9,10,11 and 12 were lucky enough to have Author Meg McKinlay visit them and chat about what it is like to write books and how she comes up with ideas for her books. The students were very interested to hear Meg speak and had questions for her at the end of her presentation. We would like to thank the Mandurah City Rotary Club for organising Meg to come and visit our school and help us celebrate books and literacy and for donating three of Meg’s books to our school library.

FROM THE CHAPLAIN In weeks 6 - 7 we focussed on the virtue CARING - Being considerate and thoughtful towards ourselves and others. “A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside”. Denis Waitley In weeks 8 – 9 we are focussing on HONESTY. Honesty is being open, trustworthy and truthful. When you practice HONESTY you: � Say what you mean and mean what you say � Make promises you can keep � Admit your mistakes � Refuse to lie, cheat and steal � Tell the truth � Are true to yourself and do what you know is

right?

Thank you to all of the families that came along and joined us for our annual Athletics Carnival. It was a fantastic day

full of fun and excitement. All of the students should be commended for their excellent sportsmanship and enthusiasm.

At the end of the day Serpentine (Red) was crowned winner for the second year in a row. A massive thankyou to the

P&C for all the work that they did with the food and drink stall on the day. We look forward to seeing as many parents
