Cross Country
I was so proud of the student participation during Cross Country. Seeing the junior and senior students cheer each other on was lovely. Thanks to all the helpers and especially Mrs Black for coordinating everything.
Congratulations to Jaiyah, Eva, Bodhi, Paisley and Noah who went to Division Cross country at Stony Creek.

Eating and Recess
We are getting positive feedback about the changes to eating times. There is more time to eat, the kids aren’t rushed and expanding fruit break to include brain food is seeing more kids eating at 10am.
We have noticed kids are eating a lot more and some kids are eating everything in their lunchbox and they’re still hungry. We are giving the kids fruit and popcorn from the Food Bank delivery, but some kids might need something more substantial added to their lunchbox.
Change of Clothes
With the weather changing to cold, wet, rainy days, it would be great if you could pack a change of clothes for your child if they get wet or muddy.
Education Week
The theme of Education Week this year is, Showcase Your School. There are so many amazing things to showcase, OUTSIDE, classroom learning, music, Auslan, end of year concert … Showcase is showing the best qualities or parts of something, so when I thought about it, it is without question the people that are the best parts of our school. Happy Education Week to everyone and thank you for everything you contribute to our school.

Recently we changed our fruit break time to "Brain Food"
This has allowed our students to eat a wider variety of healthy snacks in the morning and has been met with great sucess.
The kids are enjoying learning about what types of foods help our body learn.
Some examples of snacks we are encouraging are:
Fruit - fresh or dried
Veg
Popcorn
Yoghurts
Cheese
Cold meats
