Dear Parents and Guardians,
Wow! How awesome was our Book Week Parade! Thank you for embracing the spirit of the day. It has been very special. Our library administrator Holly Butson is second to none when it comes to doing great things around reading and today was no exception! Thanks also to Sam Xanthis for co-ordinating the cupcakes fundraiser for a most worthy cause and to the many parents who helped out.
Many thanks to HRC President Mark Nolan for arranging the Business Directory Sundowner last Friday evening. There was great spirit there. It was fun to be a part of and catch up with many of the people who are part of this community initiative of Mark’s.
First Holy Communion last weekend were wonderful celebrations. Congratulations to our children for taking this big step on their faith journey. Congratulations also to all parents and guardians and teachers for everything you have done co make this a special time for our children.

Message from Community School Health Nurse
Colds
Upper respiratory tract infections or colds are everywhere, especially in winter, so it is almost impossible to stop children from catching them. Here are some points which may help:
- Teach your child to cover his/her nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, and to wash hands straight afterwards.
- Hands should be washed after blowing noses and before eating.
- Use tissues once and then throw them in the bin. (Avoid using handkerchiefs.)
- Keep your child home from school if he/she has a cold/cough/fever/pain.
- Make sure that your children eat a balanced diet of plenty of healthy foods.
- Keep children away from smoke – it irritates their eyes and nasal passages, making it more likely that they will catch a cold.
What to do if your child gets a cold
No treatment will cure a cold or make it go away more quickly, but you can help your child feel more comfortable:
- Rest: This need not be in bed.
- Provide extra drinks: If your child doesn’t want to drink much, try giving lots of small sips of water, milk or juice, or ice blocks to suck for older children.
Hand washing
Washing hands is the easiest way to protect ourselves from contagious diseases, like colds, influenza and gastroenteritis. Hands should be washed before and after eating or preparing food, after going to the toilet and after nose blowing.
When teaching your child to wash their hands:
- Use clean water and soap, making sure they cover their hands and wrists.
- Use a brush to clean under nails if they’re dirty too
- Dry their hands with something clean (like a paper towel)
Alcohol based sanitisers are useful when soap and water is not available. Use half a teaspoon of the product and encourage your child to rub their hands together until they’re dry. If you can see dirt on their hands, it is better to use soap and water.

LIBRARY NEWS
Thank you to everyone who found their treasure today and dressed up for our amazing Book Week Parade. It is always so wonderful to see the students so excited about books and I have loved hearing this week about their favourite books and characters during our library sessions. Thank you to our teachers for organising the beautiful art in the library and to our parents and community for your support of Book Week, books and reading. I hope everyone had a great time and managed to buy a Pirate Cupcake at lunch to support Childhood Brain Cancer Research. Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading!

TRY NEW ADVENTURES AT GIRL GUIDES
The Wembley Downs Star Girl Guide Unit meeting in Wembley Downs is seeking girls aged 5 to 10 years who want to try new things, make friends and enjoy nature!
The Unit has planned an action-packed term that includes Father’s Day craft, Cooking and a talent show. Next term we will be going on a camp and helping out at the Wembley Downs Community Fair.
Girl Guides take an active role in planning their own program of activities. In Australia, our mission is to empower girls to grow into confident, self-respecting, responsible community members. This means learning through fun, teamwork and community service.
