I would like to congratulate all our new SRC representatives who were selected for semester 2.
This is an important opportunity for these students to experience leadership to learn about the art of building relationships within the community, understanding their own and others’ identities and how best to work with them to effectively achieve outcomes. It is an opportunity to develop an understanding about effective communication and interpersonal skills.
They also come to understand it is not a right, but a responsibility to be an effective leader and part of this role is to make responsible choices, model and influence others.
They come to understand that being a leader is taking responsibility for making a positive difference in our school and in other people’s lives and that leaders earn the respect of others through their actions.
Through this experience it is hoped that these students will experience leadership development as well as self-confidence and self-esteem through accomplishments and processes of collaborative change.
I thank Mrs Katherine Turner for her leadership of our SRC representative.
We invite immediate family of those elected, to come along to assembly this Friday at 8:45am in the gym, when the children will be presented with their badges. All adults will need to be mindful of 1.5m physical distancing.
Over the past week I have observed some wonderful examples of excellent leadership including our Year 6 students Archer, Ale, Sofia, Oliva, Tom and Sam who supported Leadership on Monday night with the Principal’s Tour.
I was honoured to witness the beautiful way they greeted the new families and guided them over to the meeting and then the way the led the families in prayer. I have also witnessed older students in the yard supporting the younger students with gentle reassurance and support to deal with issues they were experiencing.
The school crossing monitors who each morning have arrived on time and were very focussed on their roles of getting families across the road safely, including respectfully greeting them as they arrived.

Kelly Sport is being held on Friday afternoons after school. For those students involved you will meet the teacher by the playground.
They will then take you across to the Gym.
On Friday we have our first Assembly for Term 3 it will b run by 4LK class.
Unfortunately, because of COVID-19 restrictions the only parents who can attend are the parents from this class and the parents of the new school leaders who will be receiving their badges.
School uniform
It has been wonderful to see students wearing the appropriate school uniform. I would like to remind those students who are not wearing the appropriate uniform it is part of our school policies and protocols that you do.
Please see the list below detailing the uniform for term 3 and if you are having difficulties in your child wearing the appropriate uniform please see Mrs McCormick or myself.
A reminder that the Uniform Shop is open Monday 8-9am, Friday 8-9am and Friday 2-3pm.
