NOTRE DAME CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL
Term 4 Week 2 : 22 October 2020
INTERSCHOOL CARNIVALS
I’m looking forward to our children testing the talents against students from other Catholic schools in our region at the Interschool Jumps, Throws, Track and Team Events next Tuesday and Thursday at the Gerry Archer Athletics Centre on Abernethy Rd Cloverdale. I am sure they will make us all proud by giving their best effort in all that they do.
OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS CARE
We are still in the process of establishing our OSHC with the goal of opening as the children return to school at the beginning of February next year. Mrs Sharmane Dowse has worked tirelessly on this and I am very appreciative of her efforts to make this highly anticipated facility a reality. We hope to be calling for expressions of interest in the next couple of weeks. If the conversation around the school is any indication, places will be highly sought after.
ASSEMBLY
Our Year 5M class have been hard at work in preparation for their Assembly tomorrow. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have in store to entertain us all.
SCHOOL REGISTRATION AUDIT
On 17 November our school will undergo an Audit as part of our ongoing Registration. A component of the Audit is for parents to be given the opportunity to complete the attached survey. I encourage parents to participate in this exercise so that those involved in conducting the Audit are fully aware of our school’s operation from a parent perspective. If you are unsure of elements of the survey, please refer to our school website where further information may be located.
PLEASE NOTE
Friday 13 November will be a Professional Development day for staff and children will not attend school on this day.

YEAR 2 CLASS NEWS
We have had a very busy and exciting start to the term in Year Two!
EXCURSION TO CONSTABLE CARE SAFETY SCHOOL
On Tuesday, 20 October the Year Two students attended an excursion at The Constable Care Safety School. We had a lot of fun learning about how to be safe pedestrians and how to be safe when riding our bikes on the road. We also learnt about spotting hazards when we are out in the community, including the safety steps we can follow if we see something that could be dangerous to us or someone else. This excursion was a great addition to what we are learning about in Health, as we will be looking at a variety of safety rules and safety signs we see in our community and even designing and creating our own safety signs.
I liked riding the bikes at the excursion and learning the safety rules.
(Hannah)
I liked walking across the crosswalks and learning about what the different signs mean out on the roads.
(Luke)
I learnt that you have to be careful on the road. You have to be 6-12 years old before you should be crossing roads alone. When you are on a bike or in a car you have to give way to other cars when there is a give way sign. I also learnt that you have to ride on the left side of the road.
(Alfie)
On the excursion we learnt about the lollipop person who helps the children cross the road. We learnt to cross the traffic lights correctly. We also learnt to ride a bike safely on the road.
(Chloe)
TINKERING TABLE
Both Year Two classes are very excited about their new tinkering tables. They have been busy writing up the rules, planning where tools and items are stored and designing safety signs for the area. We are all looking forward to pulling things apart and seeing how things work. I have enjoyed making the signs and rules for the tinkering table.
I am looking forward to taking things apart. I am excited that there might be ink in some of the electronics.
(Priya)
I am excited to take things apart with my friends. I want to study some of the things we pull apart.
(Zachary)
I organised the tools into different spots on the tinkering table. I’m looking forward to looking at different types of wires.
(Jacob)
I sorted the tools and nails with Jacob and I felt happy to find out about the different tools and nails that are being used to make some electronics. I’m excited to see what is inside the items I am pulling apart.

We started Book Week with a bang with our Character Parade in the Mother Mary Piazza. It was a joy to see so many students and staff celebrating characters from all of our most loved books. We had a very Curious Mr Winsor who dressed up as one of our creatures from the Book Week logo. Thank you, Notre Dame community, for once again showcasing our wonderful talent at dressing up with a smile!
This week in the library students have been reading the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s shortlisted books, discussing themes and viewing illustrations. Many of the books listed are written by great Australian authors. The winners of this years shortlisted books include:
Many thanks for a great Book Week!

Senior Track/Team Games Carnival - 15 October at Gerry Archer
Last Thursday, students from Year 3 - 6 participated in the final track/team games carnival at Gerry Archer. We were blessed with beautiful weather and plenty of parent support. The day started with our Year 3 students in their first 200m races and with our Year 5 & 6 students rotating with some team events to get them in the carnival spirit! Well done to our Year 3 students who have done very well in the senior events this year and are showing a lot of promise for the next couple of years. There were some very close races throughout the day and many thanks goes to our magnificent chief judges, Mrs Bradshaw & Mr Seers, who did a great job with some very close calls.
The day finished with the baton relays and the Parents’ and Teachers’ vs Year 6 race. We had an influx of parents keen to show their kids they still have it and they did not disappoint! The carnival was close between two factions the whole day with ultimately only one prevailing. Well done to our new Senior Athletics Champions in McAuley who last won the carnival back in 2016. McAuley also took out the Overall Athletics Shield with a clean sweep in both the junior and senior carnivals. Many thanks again to the parents and staff who worked tirelessly with various jobs to ensure the smooth running of the carnival and that every child had a great day! Below are the Champion Girl & Boy results with the final faction places:
