The P&F received an overwhelming response from families expressing their interest to help with school events. It certainly highlights the incredible community spirit we are blessed to have here at St. Emilie’s. A very heartfelt thank you. With any event, there are limited spaces for helpers. Please know though, that we appreciate your willingness and interest to help, the gift of your time, your support and contributions. We now have a handy volunteer roll and will call upon persons when and where there is a need. We appreciate your understanding.

Volunteers are a valued part of the heart of our school community. Thank you once again for your expressions of interest.

What are we fundraising for?

This year we are busily saving for the new Year 3-6 playground equipment.

In addition, P&F funds this year will be used to offset some of the cost of:

• Mathletics
• Reading Eggs and Reading Eggspress
• Literacy Pro
• Sport Equipment
• Digital Tech Resources
• Library books

All parents are to refer to the St Emilie's Google Calendar to stay informed of upcoming events.

This live calendar is located on the FRONT PAGE of our school website and has the most up to date information for families.

The Weekly Reminders Newsletter is emailed each Friday afternoon and is also posted on the School Website. Please get into the habit of reading through the Weekly Reminders as it keeps you up to date with what is going on in our school each week.

Week 7: Go with the Flow

Week 8: Slow down - no need to rush

Week 9- Persist with Things That Are Difficult

Week 10: Stay calm under pressure

Sometimes we lack the patience needed to let things run their course. And by taking action at the wrong times, or in the wrong ways, we create problems that wouldn’t have otherwise happened.

Or as Lao Tzu said, “Rushing into action, you fail. Trying to grasp things, you lose them. Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.”

And when we try too hard to force a particular outcome, anything or anyone that keeps us from making it happen, can seem like an enemy. Even loved ones.

There are times when certain circumstances, or people, keep us from doing things that need to be done. But often that’s not what gets in our way. It’s our own desire to control an outcome that either can’t or doesn’t need to be controlled.

The idea of allowing things to work themselves out, or waiting for solutions to present themselves, seems unrealistic and passive. But this “go with the flow” philosophy is not about accepting everything as it is and never trying to change things.

It’s not about inaction. It’s about recognising when it’s time to take action, and when it’s time to let things be. It’s about controlling the things that can and need to be controlled, and learning to accept the things that can’t.

2. Please ensure you are emailing the class teacher along with admin, if your child is going to be taken out of school for an appointment early.

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS POST INITIAL POSITIVE RESULT

When an individual receives a COVID-19 positive result, the individual is deemed by WA Health unlikely to suffer from re-infection for a period of 4 weeks. Therefore, further Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) testing when subsequently unwell is not required during this time, as a COVID-19 positive result may be returned throughout this period while the initial virus is being shed.

However, where a person is unwell within their 4-week period and are showing symptoms of COVID-19, WA Health reiterate that the impacted person should remain home until symptoms subside, particularly where symptoms are respiratory in nature (e.g. productive cough).

All unwell COVID-19 symptomatic students should remain home and refrain from coming to school.

Enrolments are now open for VacSwim swimming lessons during the summer school holidays. VacSwim offers fun lessons at beach or pool locations. They are a great school holiday activity and they teach valuable safety skills to help keep your child safe in the water. Enrol at http://education.wa.edu.au/vacswim
