Community Update #2.2

 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."

The Year 6 Leaders led a special Anzac prayer service with the whole school to start off Term 2 on Tuesday morning.

School Vision Narrative

The staff have worked hard over the past few years to contribute and bring our vision for engaged and motivated learners to life. The vision narrative is a living document and we constantly come back to it and ensure any professional learning and initiatives are true to this vision. Originally all staff contributed to the formation of the vision narrative ( access the vision and a link for background about the vision ).
Feedback about the vision:
We welcome any feedback from parents and carers in relation to the vision. your feedback will be shared with the staff at our Professional Development Closure Day on Monday 16 May.

Please answer the following questions:

• How does the vision make you feel ?
• What are you excited about ?
• Do you have any suggested minor changes (tweaks) to any words or sentences in the vision narrative.

We request your feedback by next Friday May 6. Please email your suggestions to principal@spmurrumbeen.catholic.edu.au

CHILD SAFETY / OHS / PLAYGROUND SUPERVISION

We draw your attention to all school policies (75) that have been updated to the MACS policies. You can access them at this link.

In particular we draw your attention to the Child Safety, OHS and Supervision policies. These policies were discussed at the Child Safety/ OHS meeting in Term 1. You can access the minutes from the meeting here. The minutes clearly state the reasoning behind the current post covid drop off arrangements that differ to the pre covid arrangements.

5C Bake Sale for Elisha's Poppa with Parkinson's

Elisha from (5C) wrote a letter to Ms Hawkins last term (her own initiative). Here is a link to the letter. Elisha asked whether she could host a bake sale to raise money for Parkinson's. Her grandpa (Poppa) has unfortunately got Parkinson's and this is Elisha's reasoning for wanting to support the charity. 

Elisha's mother has created a donation link .Their goal is for $250 

Donation Link - "Elisha's bake sale for my poppa fight parkinsons"

Thanks to all of the families who prepared goods for the Bake Sale and sent donations with their children. The sale was a big success with all of the children at school. We will let you know how much was raised once it is finalised.
