HOLY ROSARY NEWSLETTER
Term 2 Week 3 Friday 13 May
FROM MARK
A week with a difference, with a lot of our community away with the virus. Quite a bit of information has been shared via Seqta. The virus is not welcome, but not a surprise, more a reflection of what is going on in our wider community. What is important is that all of those in our community recover well and quickly. We really want to see you back on deck!
Congratulations to Holly, Anna and the Library Monitors for a remarkable Book Fair this week. It was truly fantastic!
P&F meeting online on Tuesday. All welcome. If you would like to attend please email us by midday on Tuesday and you will be sent a link.
For the first time in a while, assembly next week is in the gym. Our Year Six children are itching to perform! Our MJR and Merit Awards will also be presented then, and names can be found in this newsletter. We look forward to your company.
Enjoy your weekend.
Keep well, keep happy, keep safe.
Mark

MAKING JESUS REAL
MERIT AWARD RECIPIENTS FRIDAY 20 MAY
LIBRARY
Thank you to our wonderful community for your support of Book Fair. Staff and parents, thanks for your flexibility as we made changes for it to go ahead safely. It has been a great success and the students have had an absolute ball. The library has lots of free new books and funds for extra special items. Library Monitors Jade, Vera, Roseleah, Amelia, Sam and Oliver have, as always, been outstanding and without their help this week, it would not have run as smoothly. They truly did make Jesus real with their kindness and thoughtfulness. I hope you all enjoy your books and I will get any orders to you as soon as they arrive. Thank you again,
Mrs Butson

OUR P & F NEWS
We hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day.
'The Virus' has certainly made its' presence felt in our school community this past week. Wishing all those who are ill, a manageable and speedy recovery. Please reach out to holyrosaryhelpers@gmail.com if we can help in anyway.
Our next P&F meeting is this coming Tuesday (17th) at 6pm. This will be an online Microsoft teams meeting. All are welcome to join the conversation. Please let Michèle in admin know by noon Tuesday if you'd like to join and a link will be sent to you.
We had a couple of articles shared with us recently which we thought we would share with you;
- As we all know there is no right or wrong way to Parent and at times we may find ourselves needing to change things up. It's always lovely to read, hear or recognise we are on the track and equally so to find new strategies/ideas to add to our bag of Parenting tips/tricks!
- Raising successful kids
Continuing this learning at home can only enhance this approach further. As children become more aware of their emotions and why they might be feeling a certain way they may begin to add positive self talk & safely express what they might need to regulate themselves. For example "I'm frustrated with this toy" (labelling the emotion, sharing their feelings ) "I can do this, I just need a break" "I know what to do" (positive self talk) which with time may lead into "I think I should pop it down and get a drink of water" or "I'll put it down and take some deep breaths" (positive self talk and acknowledgement of what they may need to do to move from the yellow zone back to the calm, happy, engaged ready to learn green zone)
- Information on politics isn't something we would normally share, though with the Federal election around the corner Catholic Education have put together a Federal Election eNewsletter Resource which they've asked if we could share with you. (note: no assessment has been conducted by the P&F on the accuracy of the content
