From the Relieving Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents and Caregivers, Welcome back to what was a very, very wet week last week in Sydney. We tried to all stay as dry as possible and I would like to thank the school community for their support. Our thoughts are with the families across Newcastle and the Hunter area who lost lives and whose homes were damaged by the floods. Term 2 is always a very busy term. We work hard writing school reports, there are parent/teacher interviews in the last week and sports events throughout the term. Welcome to our new students; Eesa, Audria, Sameera, Meelah, Razane and Chelsea. School Development Days As you are aware, school staff returned to school last Monday, 20 April. Just like students, teachers have a day of learning at the commencement of each term, excluding Term 4. We looked at apps for ipads, discussed the need for students to be reflective learners, looked carefully and familiarised ourselves with the Numeracy Continuum and discussed the notion of ‘important classroom talk’. It was a jam packed day and the teachers worked really hard. We enjoyed a gorgeous Arabic Feast supplied by Mrs Habbous, Mrs Lloyd’s mum, Mrs Moussa and Mrs Zaarou. Year 5 OC Placement 2016 Year 5 placement for Opportunity Class 2016 has begun. The important dates are as follows: Monday 27th April – online applications open www.schools.nsw.edu.au/ocplacement<http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/ocplacement Friday 15th May – online applications close A reminder that there are no paper applications. All applications must be completed online. A note has gone home today outlining the testing information. End of Term 1 We had an excellent end of term. It was super busy but PHOTO DAY and the EASTER HAT PARADE went exceptionally well. School photos should be available by mid May but I will keep you posted. The kids looked fabulous at the parade and congratulations to the winners of the Easter Raffle. I met the buses when they arrived back from the Easter Show and the smiles were incredible. All students and teachers had a fabulous day and the behaviour of the students was

an absolute credit to them. Direct Debit Reminder Please ensure that if you make payments using our direct debit system you MUST put your child’s surname and class as the reference. You must return the permission note to the office. Stage 2 Excursion
Years 3 and 4 battled the wet and enjoyed a fabulous day at The Observatory last week. They were lucky enough to look through a real telescope but unfortunately could only focus on raindrops. The planetarium was a real hit. Students observed constellations as far away as Alice Springs. They watched a 3D movie and realised just how small we are on Earth compared to the universe. Thank you to Miss Maine for her great organisation of the day. Anzac Day Service Last Friday our Anzac Day Service was held in the school hall. This is a solemn occasion and allows students and staff to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Guest
speakers and visitors included Robert Herbert, Stephen Mann and Andre LeFleur from the Royal Australian Navy. They spoke briefly about their role in the Navy and their experience. Kindergarten students made wreaths in class and laid their wreaths on the stage during the ceremony. Students from Year 4 shared writing that they have composed while learning about the landings at Gallipoli. Students wore poppies as a sign of respect for Liverpool and Australia's soldiers. Miss Maine and Mrs Mann did an excellent job of organising the service.
