Dear Families,
It was a wonderful first week back at school for Term 2. The children have returned settled and back into their learning routine. I’m sure if they’re anything like my children, there might have been a bit of grumbling about going back to school, but when they are here they are happy and engaging in their learning positively and playing respectfully with each other during break times.
I will be on camp with grade 5/6 this week, so I’d like parents to know that should any serious issues arise to contact Kristy Smith who is one of our Senior Leaders and the responsible person in my absence. The school number is: 5122 2231 and Kristy’s email is: ksmith@churchill.catholic.edu.au.
A huge congratulations to Abigail Jurdison, Arya Riess, Pippa Harder, Nate Wookey, Lucy Liu Savill and Ashley Sheary who received the Sacrament of Eucharist for the first time on Sunday. It was a wonderful celebration and lovely to share in this moment in their faith journey.
This week I would like to highlight a few reminders:
Remember there is no school on Thursday or Friday this week
Mother’s Day Breakfast and Mass Thursday 2nd May from 8am in the Eco-Centre for all mums, nans, aunties or any special people
School Photos on Thursday 9th May – please ensure you child has the correct uniform. I am noticing many children coming to school in clothes that are not part of the uniform. A reminder that black leggings and skorts are not our school uniform on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays but can be worn for Sports Days on Thursdays and Fridays. The school uniform shop has the correct uniform – brand new or second hand. Black shoes or sneakers are to be worn on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
A Prayer for our ANZACS
God of love and liberty, we bring our thanks this day for the peace and security we enjoy, which was
won for us through the courage and devotion of those who gave their lives in time of war. We pray
that their labour and sacrifice may not be in vain, but that their spirit may live on in us and in
generations to come. That the freedom and security which they sought to preserve may be seen and
known in all the nations upon earth. This we pray in the name of the one who gave his life for the
sake of the world, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Have w wonderful week ahead,
Sally

School photos are fast approching on Thursday the 9th of May and on this day, we would ask that all students come in the correct winter uniform. The winter uniform options are, either the grey tunic or grey pants/shorts with grey socks or grey tights. Girls have the option to wear grey pants if they prefer this option to the tunic. Black shoes need to be worn. Black skirts and leggings are not part of our normal uniform. In the past I have allowed leggings on very cold days. School photos fall on a Thursday this year which is usually a PE uniform day, but for school photos we will not wear PE uniform on this day. Grade 6 students are encoruged to wear their grade 6 shirts. Below is students in the correct winter unifrom please refer to these for more information.
ANZAC day apparel badges are now on sale prices ranging from $1-$10. Grade 6 students will be coming round to each class every morning leading up till ANZAC day!

Our School Wide Expectations and Whole School Approach To Positive Behaviour Support
Families might notice that as a school our messaging talks about being Respectful, Responsible and Resilient. These are our School Wide Expectations which all children are being explicitly taught in classrooms. When children forget to follow the expectations, we then refer to the behaviour charts for classrooms and the yard to identify the correct consequence for the behaviour. We use these expectation and behaviour charts to ensure that we have a consistent approach to managing behaviour in our school.
Parents are welcome to look through our expectations and consequences chart. If there is any feedback in relation to any of this, please let myself or Miss Elly Smith know.
