Dear Families,
We have an exciting few weeks ahead here at school, looking at the calendar, it’s hard to believe that we’re into the second half of the term already!
We are holding our Last Supper night for all year four children this week. The evening will be a recreation of The Last Supper followed by Pizza for dinner. Our aim is to teach this part of our Catholic story and Tradition in a fun way for all children and making First Eucharist a celebration for the whole of the level not just the few who are making the sacrament. In this way, we hope all Year 4 families will support us.
This is also the last week that our Foundation students are part time, next week after the long weekend, all foundation children will be at school full time, which is exciting. Our foundation children have settled in so well and are ready for full time school.
Sports Day will be this Thursday and is always an important event here at school.
Families are welcome to come along and support all of our children in the sports. We are still on the look out for parents to help run the events, please let myself, Ms Ensor or Janelle in the office know if you can help on the day. We’re looking forward to a wonderful and positive day.
Remember that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday 11 th March as it is a public holiday.
Have a wonderful week ahead,
Sally

Students with Asthma and Anaphylaxis
A reminder to all families that any child with Asthma or Anaphylaxis need to have a current and up to date Asthma Plan or Anaphylaxis Plan.
This needs to be completed by a doctor.
Students with Asthma need to have their asthma inhaler at school at all times.
Students with Anaphylaxis need to have their epipen at school at all times.
These things need to be checked regularly to ensure they are not out of date also.
Please do not hesitate to contact Zahli in the office for further information.

Bring your water bottle and hat
Apply Sunscreen before school and remember to reapply
Students can wear their house colour

The Parents and Friends commitee would like to remind everyone about their facebook page. On this page you can find all the information about upcoming PnF events at the school, as well as second hand uniform information.
Parents & Friends - Zooper Doopers are BACK!
Our P&F have organised to sell Zooper Doopers again at school this term.
They will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunchtimes. Icy poles will also be available on Fridays when the weather is hot.
The cost will be 50c. each.
School Advisory Committee - Parents Wanted
We have a wonderful group of parents who meet once a term as the School Advisory Committeee.
The purpose of this group is to provide parent perspective to school decisions made by myself as the Principal.
We usually meet once a term on a Tuesday night at 7pm for an hour.
It's a great way for working parents to be involved if they aren't able to support in other ways during the day.
If this might interest you as a parent, I'd love to hear from you!
Please email me directly at: sdarby@churchill.catholic.edu.au
Or phone the office to speak with me on 51 222231

Online Safety Basics for Parents
The online world can be tricky to navigate as a parent. It's hard to know how much is too much screen time, when your child might be ready for their first phone or whether they can use Social Media and online gaming responsibly.
Here is a link from the esafety Commissioner with lots of basic information for parents who might be needing some practical tips and advice for parenting in the digital age:
