The message from last Friday’s assembly was loud and clear—PERSEVERENCE. What a wonderful item it was. Well done Room 7. Your costumes were terrific, your voices loud and clear and your message was perfect. The Room7 assembly reinforced our TOD value and also our attitude, behaviour and effort objectives linked to the semester report. THE BEST SEAT At the assembly TOD was kind enough to select the two winning families for our “best seat in the house” competition. The winners were the Gordon family (Alex, Gabe and Ava) and the Tanoli family (Mikhail). On sports day, this Thursday, both families get to sit at the trackside tables. FACTION SPORTS DAY This Thursday we will be holding our Tabloid Sports and Faction carnival. The tabloid sports begin at 9:30. The team games take place at 11:00 followed by the running races at 12:45pm. The day concludes with presentations at 2:00pm. The forecast is for sunshine and 25. Please ensure that your child has a hat, applies sun cream and brings a drink bottle. You are welcome to have a picnic style morning tea and lunch with your child.
ISSUE 15 Sept 2017
ROLA On Monday 12 of our students attended the Read Out Loud Awards. A big “thanks” to Ms Peden for coordination.
Our year 1-3 team consisted of Charlotte Greenhalgh, Takunda Mangadha, Shanina Jamieson, Abdul Hassan, Vanshika and Hayden Tran. They achieved one 2nd place and five 3rd places. Congratulations.
Our Year 4-6 team consisted of Finn Egan, Tansy Boyce , Mika Dyachenko, Rain Mendoza, Jennifer Le and Thomas Emery. They achieve two 2nds, and four 3rds. Thank you for all your hard work. BRAND/VISION/MISSION After much consultation we are now able to announce a little bit of a change with regard to our Brand, Vision and Mission statements. The staff, school council and students believe that the time is right for a change to coincide with our name change, uniform change and clear idea about what we want from our school. Our brand remains as “Making a Difference” as this is what we do. Our vision statement or goal statement will be 3 powerful words:
“Educate, Nurture, Inspire”“Educate, Nurture, Inspire”“Educate, Nurture, Inspire” Our mission is to work in active partnership with the community to maintain an inviting and nurturing learning environment. The school will prepare students to embrace challenges and take personal responsibility to strive for excellence in all they endeavour. We aim to foster a lifelong interest in learning to ensure students become productive, confident, responsible and successful members of society. Over the next few months you will see these statements become more visible. What we do know is that if we don't put them into practice then they are just words.

BRING HOME A BIG BROTHER OR SISTER AND BRING
FRENCH, ITALIAN OR SPANISH CULTURE TO LIFE!
Why not volunteer to host an international student from France, Italy or Spain next year? We have a small group of delightful students coming to Australia for 11 weeks to immerse in local Australian culture, experience our High schools, sports, environment and lifestyle. All these international students are around 15 or 16 years old, speak excellent English, have their own spending money, cover all school expenses, and we arrange all aspects of their program. They are looking forward to joining an Australian family for a short term cultural immersion stay. It’s fun and interesting to help these young people achieve their Australian dream. If you would like to know more, please email your interest to ICM on [email protected] or call Georgie or Anja on 1800 500 501, or visit our website www.icm-education.com.
