Online Safety Information Session for Year 6

14 Jun 2021

Last Friday, Matthew sent out a Schoolzine notification discussing some concerning and recent incidences involving messaging between Year 6 students using their personal technology outside of school hours. In response to this, we have organised for a Child Protection Officer from Catholic Education to come and talk to Year Six students about staying safe online. The Child Protection Officer will discuss some of the following areas with the Year Six students:

• How to stay safe online
• Cyberbullying
• Dealing with unwanted contact
• Sharing personal content
• Inappropriate and unsafe content
• Online footprint
• Safer online gaming
• Being safe on social media platforms

This discussion will take place next Wednesday morning from 9.30-10.30am. We are currently organising an opportunity for parents to discuss similar issues in the near future. We’ll inform you when this has been finalised. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns about this discussion.

Regards,

Rebekah Brown

Assistant Principal

Feast of the Sacred Heart Day

10 Jun 2021

Tomorrow is The Feast of the Sacred Heart. We will celebrate Eucharist together at Mass, participate in some fun activities and all students can wear something red!

Part of tomorrow is also about raising funds for our partner school St George’s Academy in Kenya. You can read the newsletters and see photos here of how we have helped so far.  https://www.globalschoolpartners.org.au/st-georges-academy

This year we are aiming to raise $1500 so the boys can have new bathrooms to maintain COVID safe practices. Another $50 is needed to build 100 new desks (yes $50 for 100 desks... those figures are correct!)

Each class has been collecting coins to create coin lines to raise this money. The class with the longest coin line will get to have a pajama day on a day of their choice.

Our Year 6 students are practicing creating video messages. Below is their promotional message about fundraising for St George's Academy (edited by Bradley).

Donations

20 May 2021

This Term we will purchase some sand play stations for our Junior Primary students. Sand play for our younger students has many benefits, as it enhances motor skills, improves language and speech, enhances social and emotional awareness, introduces concepts of mathematics and science and sparks creativity. 

To ensure we have a variety of toys/equipment for sand play we would appreciate any of the below to be donated (new/used ):

• Mini shovels/rakes
• Small buckets
• Play cooking utensils 
• Measuring cups
• Plastic sieves
• Trucks/cars
• Plastic toy dinosaurs/animals
• Plastic fossil sets
• Mould sets

If you are cleaning up any old toys from home that your children are not using anymore and are still in good condition, please consider sending them to school for children here to use.

We are also always looking for donations of lego/duplo. If you have any lego sitting at home that your children don’t play with anymore, please consider donating it to St John’s. 

We would really appreciate any of the above donations.
