I oſten catch myself thinking " I sound like my parents", when talking to my children. The way they acted and communicated around me formed the way that I act and speak today.

The children had worked hard pracsing their lines, songs and dances and were ready to perform. It was a lovely opportunity for our children to showcase their personalies and skills. These types of acvies are valuable learning experiences for children as skills such as sharing, working together, supporng each other, being part of a team and respecng each other are essenal for the performance to come together. Children also learn to be adaptable and resilient as they need to cope with new challenges (such as sound/lighng equipment).

Principal’s Message "The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice" Peggy O'Marra The idea that the things we say to our kids each day are forming the core of who they are is pretty hard to consider. I often catch myself thinking " I sound like my parents", when talking to my children. The way they acted and communicated around me formed the way that I act and speak today. The good news is that we can use this power as parents to the advantage of our children. If we act and communicate in a way that we want them to model as an adult we will be setting them up for life. Camp Our campers our going extremely well in Canberra. They are once again proving to be fantastic role models for our school. The 5 / 6 class our having a great time and learning a great deal about our nation’s capital. We even met Clive Palmer in the Old Parliament House Senate. Booklists Please note that we have now ordered the book lists for 2016. These can now be paid for at the front office. Once payment is received, the booklist can be picked up on Jan 27th 2016.

Have a great weekend Russel Cowan Principal
From Mrs Lambourn - Acting Principal Concert - There was much excitement as we all headed to the Gordotorium for our school concert. The children had worked hard practising their lines, songs and dances and were ready to perform. It was a lovely opportunity for our children to showcase their personalities and skills. These types of activities are valuable learning experiences for children as skills such as sharing, working together, supporting each other, being part of a team and respecting each other are essential for the performance to come together. Children also learn to be adaptable and resilient as they need to cope with new challenges (such as sound/lighting equipment). Once the concert is over these are the life skills that our children take with them. Thank you to all the families that attended the concert and supported the children. It was lovely to see so many families at the matinee and the evening performances. We would like to thank all families for their support with props and costumes. Canberra Camp - The Gr 5 and 6 students along with Miss Crane, Mr Micallef and Mr Cowan headed off to Canberra on Monday morning. We are sure they will have a wonderful time this week exploring Canberra and look forward to hearing about their camp when they return on Friday. Crazy Camel Fundraiser - The students have completed some excellent drawings for the Crazy Camel Fundraiser and the order forms along with copies of the children’s artwork went home on Monday. Thanks to Nikki Stewart for organising this activity/fundraiser. We look forward to seeing the calendars, diaries and other items.
