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.

Holy Thursday

On Thursday the school community gathered in the church to celebrate the crucification of Jesus. Four senior students along with Mr Barron performed a puppet show called The Three Trees which gave us a recount of the Easter story.



We wish everyone a safe and holy Easter.

Lunch Time in the Library

Lunch times can get very busy down in the library. Apart from it being open for computer use and general reading , science club takes place on Thursdays and every Tuesday sees students trying to quicken their times at stacking cups, a fun way to stimulate the brain.

Preps and Safety Rules

Today the Preps gave a presentation at assembly on the safety rules needed around the school. Signs have been made and placed around the school to remind children to walk on the concrete. Well done Preps!

Angel Breathing

Friday saw the introduction to the school of the practice of angel breathing, three deep breaths while raising your arms over your head. This helps to increase the oxygen level to your lungs, improving concentration and general well being. This is one of the new practices which will be introduced as part of the 7 Natural Physicians program next term.

Mag B with a few of the plants to be relocated.

Last week saw the laying of two concrete slabs for rain water tanks to rest on. Funding was via government grants.



Some of the plants which had to be dug up were saved and replanted by Mag B who also weeded the garden near the library. Great work MAG B !
