SCHOOL AS NORMAL ON FRIDAY, 8th JUNE
HOWEVER, NO BUSES RUNNING
WORKING TOGETHER
We shape our self to fit this world and by the world are shaped again. The visible and the invisible working together in common cause, to produce the miraculous. I am thinking of the way the intangible air passed at speed round a shaped wing easily holds our weight. So may we, in this life trust to those elements we have yet to see or imagine, and look for the true shape of our own self, by forming it well to the great intangibles about us. -- David Whyte from The House of Belonging ©1996 Many Rivers Press

BOOK WEEK
Book week was a wonderful success. Thank you so much to everyone who supported our book week by buying books.
With your purchases we now have $1000 in commission to spend on more wonderful books for our library. Merci — Mrs
Gatehouse.
Thank you to all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and parents who come along to see the children in the parade
and to stay for grandparents day. Everyone had a lovely time and we enjoyed having you here to see us in action. Thank
you again for all your support.
ROSARY BEAD MAKING: Alan Forbes running rosary

thank Alan for his time and patience in helping chil-
dren to make their own set of rosary beads and the
children are having a great time picking out their own
bead colours.

On Tuesday the 19th of June, the students of St Laurence Primary School will be participating in an ADVENTURE LAPATHON
that is run by the Parents & Friends committee. The course will be within the school grounds and will include many
obstacles and activities to challenge our children and promote fun while being active.
The course will be modified as the day progresses to make the course more challenging for the older students.
The number of laps that students complete will be marked down for each student and the laps for each class will be tallied
up. The class with the most laps will win a lunch provided by the Parents & Friends committee.
This day will also be a fundraiser where students can raise money by getting sponsors for the lapathon. (PLEASE SEE THE
ATTACHED SHEET). This will be tallied up for each class and again the class who has raises the most money will be
rewarded with a lunch from the Parents & Friends committee. The class that runs the most laps will also be awarded a
lunch.
Other prizes will include a ‘King and Queen’ of the lapathon, the “boss of the bank’ as well as the family who raises the
most money.
PROGRAM FOR THE DAY:
Grade Prep/1 and 2: 10:15am - 10:45am
Grade 5 and 6: 11:30am – 12:00pm
Grade 3 and 4: 12:15pm - 12:45pm
So that this day is a fun and safe day, we will be requiring some parents to assist throughout the day. Mostly just standing
at each obstacle to assist and encourage the students.
A CareMonkey has gone out this afternoon. HELPERS NEEDED. Please indicate on CareMonkey if you are able to assist on
the day. Your help will be very much appreciated.
SPONSOR FORMS WAS ON THE BACK OF THE INFORMATION SHEET THAT WENT HOME TODAY. They are to be returned by
21st June.
LAP-A-THON
LIGHTNING PREMIERSHIP
Last Friday the annual Lightning Premiership was held at
Mary MacKillop College. The weather was perfect and a
large crowd of spectators were in attendance. This event
concludes this year’s winter sports program.
Many thanks to Mary MacKillop College for their assistance
on the day and throughout the winter sport program. The
College grounds and facilities are excellent and very well
presented. Kate Sperling the District Coordinator from
Mirboo North PS, did a great job with organisation and
preparation and the day ran smoothly.
St Laurence's is fortunate that we have such generous and
interested parents who give up their time to help not only
last Friday but also throughout our winter sport program.
Many thanks to Emma McGannon, Lorcan Heneghan, Trish
Bowler and Natasha McRae for your invaluable support.
Our school did not have any team move into the Grand
Final or onto the Division stage. However, our students
efforts were whole hearted and their behaviour and
sportsmanship was of high standard.
Finally many thanks to all those parents/grandparents who
came along last Friday to watch the various teams. It is
always great to have such support.
