The 7 Natural Physicians











Today, Trish and Rob Thomas the creators of the new health program being used here at school presented a puppet show to our students. Each of the puppets represented one of the Natural Physicians responsible for a particular area of the program.

They include: Dr Think Right - Attitude
Dr Inhale Exhale- Air
Dr Gastro Nomical- Nutrition
Dr UV Ray - Sunshine
Dr Hydrop Therapy-Water
Dr Vi Tality - Exercise
Dr Zizz - Rest
These doctors are devoted to helping children understand the simple things they can do to look after their own health and wellbeing.

They are easily remembered by the saying Attitude is the answer.
We look forward to the benefits it will bring our students as they work through the exciting program. The highlights of the program will be showcased in a Healthy Lifestyle Expo at the end of this term. All parents and friends will be invited along on this day. So keep watching this space for further details.

Start of Term 2

Welcome to the start of Term 2.

The first week back will be busy.
Firstly, as part of our campaign to reduce waste we have representatives from Logan City Council coming to school to present several activities to each of our classes. The first activity is The Smart Shopper lesson , which aims to show students how much waste can be reduced by using plastic containers which can be repeatedly reused instead of wrapping lunches in plastic or foil.
Secondly, they will show our upper school the advantage of using a worm farm to reduce perishable items. They will provide and set up several of these farms for school use.

The other presentations occurring this week involve introducing the 7 Natural Physicians to the school. This is a new holistic health care program which will be implemented throughout the school. The founders of the program Trish and Rob Thomas will be at school on Thursday to perform a puppet show to the children. You are most welcome to join us.
