Dear Families,
What a fantastic week we had here at school last week. We started the week off with Book Week Dress Up Day, the children had a wonderful day and Mrs Wilson in our library organised a day of fun activities.
Mrs Szkwarek also organised a music experience last Friday for our children with Kaboom Percussion which was lots of fun and very exciting also.
We also had our first transition session for our new Foundation students on Wednesday. It was so lovely to welcome our new students and their families to our school for the first time. Our next session is Wednesday 6th September.
This week, we look forward to inviting our dads and other special people to school for Father’s Day breakfast. This will start at 8:10am in the Eco-Centre. All welcome. Our Parents and Friends groups will also be running the Father’s Day stall on this day.
We are well on the way to finishing up another term of school. Please remember that we have “Footy Colours Day” coming up on Thursday 14th September and that Friday 15th September is a school closure day.
Last week, I attended the Religious Education Leaders conference in Warragul. We worked with a lecturer from Australian Catholic University looking at the Gospel of Mark. The big theme for the learning was the hope that Jesus brings, even in times of our lives where we might be stepping forward into uncertain or difficult times ahead. Being able to still have agency and hope for better times in the future was a key theme and relevant for all of us, including our children. Here at Lumen Christi, we use Gospel stories and look for the key messages that might be relevant to our own lives and we also explicitly teach positive coping and problem-solving strategies through oue Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program – all important work for our kids living in today’s world.
Have a wonderful week ahead,
Sally
