The service was fantastic and was about supporting Malaysia to be a fairer place. “I liked the songs that we sang” (Ireland-Skye) and “I liked meeting new people and it was fun to do the Offering” (Anton). The Offering was to raise money to help make Malaysia a more Just (fairer) place. “In Australia we don’t have to work for peace and we can do after school sports, but in Malaysia some people can’t afford to go to school” (Anton). We learnt that Selamat Dartung means Peace and Welcome in the Malaysian language. At the end there was a morning tea provided by St David’s with great butterfly cupcakes.

Swimming Carnival Pleasant conditions on both days of our carnivals made for an enjoyable competition between houses. There were many outstanding performances during the day, with participation rates once again very high. Griffiths came out in front after the Grade 3/4 carnival but the overall picture was slightly different with Thompson winning on 1214 from Griffiths on 1024, Freeland 1020 and Barnes 1008. This continues Thompson’s success of carnivals winning their fourth swimming carnival in six years. Congratulations to all competitors on a great day. A special mention to all the teachers who made the day very enjoyable for all concerned. This was also helped by the RHS prefects and our new house captains who took on their roles with enthusiasm and vigour. From this carnival we have chosen a Grade 5/6 team to participate in the inter-school swimming champions at Riverside Pool on the Friday the 16 th of March from approximately 12 noon until 2.30pm. Below is a list of the team and their events: Event Grade 5 Girls Freestyle - Emily L First two Megan G contest plus other 2 for relay Isabella H Caitlyn K Backstroke Megan G Emily L Breaststroke Emily L Megan G Butterfly Megan G Emily L Grade 5 Boys Will B Lachlan S Connor R Daniel S Lachlan S Ryan L Will B Lachlan S Will B Lachlan S When: Tuesday 27th March Time: 5.15pm-6.45pm Location: Kinder Grade 6 Girls Piper N Georgie S Nicola G Emerson M Piper N Georgie S Piper N Georgie S Piper N Georgie S Welcome to Kinder BBQ Grade 6 Boys Aimon K Cameron C Thomas B Hugh M Aimon K Cameron C Aimon K Cameron C Aimon K Cameron C This will be an opportunity for families of Kinder children to come and spend some time with their child in the classrooms and meet other families from the Kinder community.

We hope to see you all there! Pip Robinson, Jo French and Megan Ransome (Kinder teachers) Grade 5/6 Library Arrangement for 2012 The modern library system has developed to allow users to access information from a much wider range of sources: books, magazines, print and the internet. In line with this evolution we are trialling an alternative library structure for our grade 5 and 6 students. For three weeks students will have a 30 minute block of time where they work with our teacher-librarian, Mrs Lippis, on a range of literacy based concepts to assist them in their understanding of the library and literature. For the following three week rotation they will have an extended opportunity of 90 minutes to work with both their classroom teacher and Mrs Lippis to explore learning around ICT (Information and Communication Technology) on a range of levels. This will be supported through the use of our i-Room and the computers within the library. Some learning may have an individual focus, at times children may be working collaboratively on group tasks and at other times there may be whole class instruction. We believe that children will actually receive greater access to both the resources in the library and to ICT. Borrowing of books to support the student’s choice in reading is also more flexible with a number of times offered through the week where students can take out and return their fiction and non-fiction books. We will review this program at the end of term one but our initial feedback has been positive from both students and staff. As with all the learning your child participates in, please chat with them and get their perspective. If you have any question please do not hesitate to call and talk about this initiative.
