A note from Ms McIntosh….

Welcome back to term two. I hope you had refreshing

holidays, and enjoyed spending time with your families and

friends. This term, we will focus on teaching and learning with

our school value of ‘excellence’ at the forefront. We will

investigate, with the students, what excellence means for

each individual, and set challenges and high expectations for

everyone, in everything that they do. Our, ‘You Can Do It’

focus will be on persistence, which will support our students to

understand the concept of sticking at a task, even when

challenged, to achieve excellence. We hope that you will

reiterate these values at home and discuss with your children,

what persistence and excellence look like outside of school

ANZAC DAY

Next Wednesday is ANZAC day and a chance for us to

commemorate all those who have served our country in the

armed forces and support services. Monday’s assembly will

have a focus on the ANZAC commemoration and we hope to

see many of you in attendance.

TERM EVENTS

This term will see more exciting events which will support our

teaching and learning programs. We are looking forward to

5/6 Camp, the Life Ed Van Visit, Education Week, cross

country events, NAPLAN and the beginning of our kinder to

prep information and transition process. As well as these

things, we will see excursions, celebrations and in-school

events. Remember to check on Compass for our up to date

calendar of events.

LIFE EDUCATION

This week, the Life Ed van is visiting the school and all classes

are scheduled to attend. The Life Ed van provides an expert

educator who will work with the students to discuss many

aspects of health. The programs are designed to suit each

year level and cover topics around physical health, mental

health, relationships and more. As we hear more and more in

the media about the importance of strengthening respectful

relationships, supporting mental health and building resilience,

we are pleased to have access to this valuable learning

resource at Rosanna.

HATS

Please remember that hats are to be worn until the

end of April.

CANTEEN

Welcome back Sharon! We are so happy to see you

back and well. The canteen is fully operational

again and open 4 days a week this term from Tues-

day to Friday. Keep those lunch orders rolling in.

Thank you so much to Ruby, Ally and our fabulous

parents and year 6 students who helped out while

Sharon was away.

Heather McIntosh

Principal

Wandering around the school on Monday morning, I

was amazed at how quickly students have

engaged in learning. This week they have been

focussed on learning in whatever classroom I have

visited.

Every Day Counts is the theme for the Department’s

focus on attendance. When students are away,

they can miss important learning steps or find

themselves disconnected from their peer networks

upon their return. Working together between home

and school is the best way to support every child’s

learning.

There are a number of absences for students that

remain unexplained. These are absences from

school that have not be explained by parents. If

your child has attendances that are unexplained

please ensure that you enter an attendance note

on compass, write a note to your child’s classroom

teacher or ring the school. Your support in helping

maintain the safety of all students is appreciated.

Next week we will send home a letter listing the un-

explained absences of each child. Please ensure

that this note is returned promptly so our attend-

ance rolls can be amended.

Over the coming weeks we will be emailing parents

when students are not attending without explana-

tion. Parents can register absences of students

online through Compass, with a simple phone call or

email to school. We hope that this service for par-

ents and carers will continue to strengthen the rela-

tionships between home and school.

HEIDELBERG DISTRICT ATHLETICS DAY

Last term we had over 65 children represent our

school at the Heidelberg District Athletics

Championships. The children enjoyed the

competition and were excellent participants and

spectators. There were many strong performances

with many children getting places in their events.

It was excellent to see the children compete to the

best of their ability and, more importantly, do so

while displaying good sportsmanship and fair play.

Well done to everyone involved.
