Dear Parents, Yesterday we enjoyed a fantastic athletics carnival, it was wonderful to see the children enjoying themselves so much and competing to the best of their ability. In the end we were lucky and the weather held out for us - just! Thanks to all of the parents who assisted, we could not have run the event without your help. Congratulations to Nicole Cahill and Diana Woolf for their preparation and coordination of the event. Well done to Green House [Readman] who were the successful House on the day. This week we moved into our refurbished administration building and it has been terrific. Thanks to all families for your cooperation with the new entry and exit points, they are working well and increase the security for our students. Currently the building is about 98% finished, we are still awaiting the instalment of the security access lock, signage, pinboards and the construction of the undercover walkway. Tomorrow a concrete slab will be poured at the rear of the school behind the Joyce Building. This will be where our shed will be erected over the next week or so. The shed will be divided into bays and used as a bike storage area for the children, general storage and it will also house our kiln. It is important to note that the kiln has been purchased solely by money raised from the Parents and Friends Committee.

We congratulate Sarah Hubbard 4H and Simon Rietwyk on their upcoming wedding this weekend. We wish them a day full of love and many happy memories with their family and friends.

A reminder that the Staff carpark is for Staff only. We have had instances where parents are using the staff carpark to pick up / drop off their children. Parents please ensure you use the designated supervised carpark area for student safety.

As part of our commitment to Victoria’s Child Safe Standards a Parent Helper

Workshop will again be offered for parents who would like to assist in

classrooms or on excursions. Parents assisting in school activities are

required to have a current Working With Children Check Card [WWCC] and to

have attended the Parent Helper Workshop. Our next Parent Helper

Workshop will be held on Tuesday 30 May at 9.00 am.

A reminder that Monday 29th May is a School Closure Day as the staff

participate in a Learning Adjustment Professional Learning Day with St

Michael's Traralgon, St John's Koo Wee Rup and St Agatha's Cranbourne. I

thank parents for your cooperation.

Regards,

Simon Dell'Oro

NATIONAL SORRY DAY

National Sorry Day is an Australia-wide observance held on May 26th each year. This day gives people the chance to come together and share the steps towards healing for the Stolen Generations, their

families and communities. Stolen generations refer to Indigenous Australians who were forcibly

removed from their families and communities.

This Friday we will acknowledge National Sorry

Day as part of our assembly.

Father of all, You gave our Aboriginal People the Dreaming. You

have spoken to them through their beliefs. You then made your love clear to them in the person of Jesus. We thank you for your care of these people.

You own them. You are their hope. Make them strong as they face the problems of change. We

ask you to help us, the people of Australia, to listen to them and respect their culture. Make the

knowledge of you grow strong in all people So that you can be at home in all of us, And so that we can

make a home for everyone in our land. Amen.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER John 14:15-21

Reflection Love is a commandment given to us by God. A commandment is a rule we are to follow; it is not an option. Jesus shows his love in many ways. We are to use Jesus as an example to show others how much we love them. The

disciples knew that Jesus would soon be returning to his heavenly Father and they were

afraid. Jesus promised them that they would not be alone and reassured them that he would ask

his heavenly Father to send someone very special who would be with them forever.

Possible discussion

Who are the people who love you? What do they ask of you in return for their love?

Jesus loves us and asks us to keep his commandments.

What are some of his commandments? Jesus says the Holy Spirit will help us.

Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to help us love others.
