STAGE 1 EXCURSION TO UOW SCIENCE CENTRE<br />
On Tuesday our Year 1, Year 2 and 2/3S students visited the UOW Science Centre. We attended a wonderful 'Bubble and<br />
Balloon' show and learnt about stars and the solar system in the 'Planetarium'. We also had fun experimenting with all the<br />
'hands on' exhibits to learn about how machines work.<br />
The teachers were very proud of the behaviour of all the children. Well done girls and boys!<br />
Stage 1 Teachers
PRINCIPAL’S NEWS<br />
Thank you so much to the families and students who have fully supported the locking of some school gates and closing of<br />
others during the school day. The safety of our students is paramount and as a community we value this. Thank you.<br />
Last weekend a number of our fine vocalists performed at Kidsfest. After a delayed start reports were of fine voice and<br />
great pride. Well done to all involved.<br />
On Monday, Tiarn Beasley, Jordan Puckridge, Natalie Mansfield and I participated in the Reconciliation Walk in Shellharbour.<br />
National Reconciliation <strong>Week</strong> is celebrated across Australia each year between 27 May and 3 June. The dates commemorate<br />
two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey—the anniversaries of the successful 1967 referendum and the High<br />
Court Mabo decision.<br />
The week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to explore how each<br />
of us can join the national reconciliation effort.<br />
May 27 marks the anniversary of Australia’s most successful referendum and a defining event in our nation’s history. The 1967<br />
referendum saw over 90 per cent of Australians vote to give the Commonwealth the power to make laws for Aboriginal and<br />
Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise them in the national census.<br />
On 3 June, 1992, the High Court of Australia delivered its landmark Mabo decision which legally recognised that Aboriginal and<br />
Torres Strait Islander peoples have a special relationship to the land—that existed prior to colonalisation and still exists<br />
today. This recognition paved the way for land rights called Native Title. 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of the Mabo<br />
decision.<br />
The theme for this year is Let’s Talk Recognition—with a focus on how Australians can better recognise each other, and<br />
recognise the contributions, cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This has certainly been<br />
discussed in our classrooms and we are proud to have been involved in events such as the Shellharbour Recognition Walk.<br />

WEEKLY SCHEDULING<br />
Learning how to make time for homework, study, chores, part-time jobs and so on is a vital skill for all kids, but it's one that<br />
we need to teach them by example. It's just a Word document, but you can now create your own weekly schedules to whip your<br />
family into shape.<br />
