VISION STATEMENT

This is a place of courage where everyone can give voice to their aspirations and concerns. Our relationships are marked by

empathy and trust. The adults here are strong and conscious role models. In this place power is always at the service of the

people. We take risks and so sometimes we make mistakes. We learn their lessons and move on stronger. Laughter is heard

here often and we celebrate our success. People here are passionate in their advocacy of depth in learning

and in the pursuit of a more just world. We know that the dignity of our work is that we touch the future through

and for our children and that tomorrow is being built today.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents and Children,

We celebrated a whole school mass this morning to

mark the beginning of this term. The focus of our

learning was on “Attentiveness to God‟s presence”

and to pray for God‟s guidance and influence as we

try to develop our gifts in the service of others.

We wish our Cross-country student representatives

all the best at Mawson Park on Friday as they

compete in the interschool championships. All

children competing have been notified by Mr

Noseda and will be transported by bus to and from

the venue on the day. Race fixtures commence at

10.00am.

Friday week (8th August), parents and students

should be aware that St Luke‟s has a Pupil Free

Day scheduled. Staff will be working through the

National Quality Standards (NQS) framework for

early childhood education.

After the Docker shocker a fortnight ago, we get our

chance to redeem ourselves against the Blues at the

unusual day and time of tomorrow night. I am

hoping we have woken from the slumber of last

match and can resume our charge to the finals.

Be happy and enjoy the coming week

David Hunter

PRINCIPAL

CALLED TO HOLINESS

Lord, you call us by name, and you call us to holiness

as you did St Luke. We ask you to fill us with your Spirit

so that we, too, may reflect the life of your Son

in our thoughts and attitude and in our words and actions. Lead us to grow more aware of your presence in our lives,

and empower us to bring the good news of your love and salvation

to all those you have entrusted to us. Amen.

PARKING

Thanks to the many parents who ensure they

follow the parking guidelines set by the council

and those of the school. Could I ask that parents

do not park on the paved area adjacent to the

Basketball/Netball courts or on the footpath.

Nationally Consistent Collection Data

(NCCD)- Permission Returns

Some parents were notified before the holidays

about the NCCD and that their children had been

identified by teachers as meeting the criteria for

inclusion. In order that that they be included in

the data collection, parent permission must be

given. The data will be submitted this Monday,

so if it is your intention to provide permission

please return the slip by the end of this week.

Information of the NCCD collection is available

EatPlayThrive Free Workshop Dear Parents

Last term Ngala provided a taster session for the EatPlayThrive workshops. Parents who

attended this session said it was very informative and worthwhile. Because of the very favourable

feedback we booked a full workshop with Ngala commencing next week. If you are interested in

attending this workshop which will be held at St

Luke's can you please register ASAP. A creche facility is available free of charge. For further information

please see attachment.

At this stage we do not have enough people to run

the workshop so unless this changes by the end of this week I will have to cancel our booking.

BITS AND PIECES REQUEST FROM

OUR COMMUNITY

Pre Primary are on the hunt for bits & pieces and

odds and ends that are too good to throw away

and could be „creatively‟ given another life.

Items such as old Barbie dolls, cars, dress ups

(no superhero‟s please), PVC piping with

elbows, pots and pans, baskets, old bike spokes

and anything else interesting.

Items for the collage table such as buttons,

ribbon, wool, lace, zips, string/twine and

anything else along those lines.

If you have any furniture eg old coffee tables,

story chairs please come and see us with a photo

of the item before bringing it in, so we can see if

it is suitable.

Get creative, we‟d love to upcycle things from

our community and give them another life.

Please bring the bits and pieces and odds and

ends to the Pre Primary classrooms.

Anything we receive that we can‟t use we‟ll

check with the other classes or donate it to

St Vinnies.

Thanks for your help and support.
