All Saints eNewsletter - Week 6, Term 3

Dear Parents and Friends, 

Next week is National Child Protection Week. Each year the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) presents a theme for promoting the safety and wellbeing of all children. 

What a great way to start the day for the dads, grandads and special friends who came along to the All Saints Father's Day Breakfast this morning with their children.  A massive thank you to the All Saints Community and Board Members for organising the event and cooking the sausages, bacon and eggs for over 320 people.  We hope you all enjoy your special day on Sunday.

In HASS (Geography) Year 4 Canil have been learning about African animals and the country of South Africa. We recently went on an excursion to Monarto Zoo to see some of these animals up close and observe them in the wild. Children created clay models of their favourite African animals and completed inquiry projects. 

Hello from the ACT.
 
What a lovely way to spend a school week! As staff we have had a great opportunity to get to know these 58 Year 6 children on a whole other level; from laugh out loud moments to kind words for homesick little souls. It has been a real blessing.
